This comment is addressed to Jassi AKA Mona Singh and Tony and Diya Singh. This is absolute and complete rubbish. After taking countless viewers for a ride by publicizing "Jassi weds Armaan" for at least 2 weeks, you expect us to stomach this bullsh** letter??!!! I am enraged at this atrocity. This is the most horrible and inconsistent show on Indian television! I wasted more 1.5 years of my life following this show and this is the bull we get fed! After showing Armaan's character worshipping the ground Jassi walks on, he does an abrupt about face and and insults her family???!!! All of a sudden we are being told via the channel's director and the show's directors that Armaan was never worthy of Jassi????!!!! He agrees and sides with Mallika whom he knew to be fraudulent and vindictive??!!! And since when is Jassi any longer pure and sincere???! She has lost the right to go raving on about self-esteem and purity and ideals and self-respect and dignity. She lost that right when the directors showed her recollecting the time she and Armaan had premarital sex in the bridal shoot studio! Where was her self-respect and dignity then??? Where was her undieing love and loyalty for her parents then???!!! How dare she try to make herself out to be some kind of devi??!!! She has no right to give long lectures about middle class values. No decent with any kind of values would have left her wedding altar without notice to anyone and leave her parents to bear all of the taunts and lashing outs of society. She is a coward who can never have the courage to face her problems head on! All I have to say that I am ashamed of myself and angry at myself for wasting so much of my time on this ridiculous, inconsistent, and disgusting show. And for the directors, I hope your viewership for this show hits rock bottom!! May you never have success after what crap you put us viewers through. Signing out, Hina

yeah!!! I am not the only crazy one!!!!

Regarding, "Frumpy Jaisi Koi Nahin," what does one say about this
nonsense of an article piece? Sony Entertainment has thoroughly let their
viewers down once again. From Kkusum to Fame Gurkul, Sony offers
nothing but lies.

First off, Sony is misrepresenting their disgruntled viewers. A majority of
avid fans were not upset with her transformation physically. We knew
this was happening and it would be a lot of fun to watch. What we did
not expect was that Jasmeet Walia was not only transforming her
appearance, but her name and identity as well. From this day, no one has
been able to relate to her, because it accomplished nothing. She gave out
a fuzzy message, you have to change to make in the world...uh, ok. My
question to the viewers: When Jessica Bedi went to court, was it
stimulating to watch what was going to happen to her? Didn't we all
know she would be innocent or was it too hard to predict? Now she is
going back to her old looks to go where? I am lost. Sony has this great
idea that they will change her back. What a riot?!

So Sony has misrepresented their viewers, lied to them and casually
decided to hammer the final nail into the coffin of Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin.
The protagonist is going to give out some message to all women to be
strong and not get into oppressive relationships. Hey! Wait a minute,
don't all indian serials preach the same thing? Hasn't Jassi endured
enough trials and tribulations to finally reach a point that she could marry
the man of her dreams? Hmm...did I miss something?

According to this article, Armaan was not suitable for Jassi and thereby
Jassi decides to leave him at the last moment. She leaves her parents
high and dry because, "... Our message is: don't let anyone mess without
your dignity and self-worth...???" I can name more than 10 instances
where Jassi has had her self worth messed around with. So what is Sony
trying to back track on?

Looking back, I relish the moments that I laughed and cried with Jassi.
She was my idol and I looked up to her. All I ever ask anymore is what
happened? I don't know how to get my message across that all that
mattered was that Jassi was still good at heart...it didn't matter if she had
a transformation. I can't believe that I was such a loyal supporter of Jassi.
She let us down at the last moment.

For those of you who don't know what happened. CJ (Vikash Balla, I don't
think I can watch a movie or hear a song of yours again) is out to destroy
Jassi. He makes it appear as though he slept with Jassi and he tells
Armaan that it happened as well. Armaan did his duty, he confronted
Jassi, he begged her, he cried to her that if nothing happened, he will
never question her again...but she chooses to play a smart alleck and and
she didn't give a direct response. Then he slapped her. I understand that
Armaan slapping Jassi was not right, but to tell you the truth it was high
time that someone did to knock some sense into her. Apparently, as we
can all see now violence is not a good thing, because you do even
stranger things...like runaway rather than confront the attacker??? Was
she that afraid of Armaan that she couldn't answer him and had to run
away? Pretty sad, Jassi...pretty sad.

If one takes a moment to think about it, she could have confronted
Armaan at the alter or talked to her family about calling off the marriage,
but I reiterate she chose to run away. She could have gotten mad at
him...asked him what he saw...she could have screamed at him, they
could have talked about it. None of this took place. Now folks, I am one
of those people who does not keep trust in their vocabulary. We live in
such times that one needs to hope for the best and expect the worst. I
feel that communication plays a greater role in happy and prosperous
relationship. Alas, as we have seen, communication and consistency are
not Jassi's greatest strengths.

In fact, Sony is putting all the blame on Armaan, but why? I laugh as I say
this, Armaan has been through his own trials and tribulations trying to
get Jassi back. I don't know what the makers were thinking when they
decided to give him a 360 degree u turn back to negativity. I guess as
usual...everyone around Jassi has to look bad in order for her to look
mahan.

Also, Jassi and her family should take some of the blame too on
everything that transpired. Why did her family let her go to see Purab on
the eve of her wedding by herself? This does not happen in real life. To
top it off, she asks a man whom she barely knows to stay in the same
hotel room with her. Come on, he was sleeping in the hotel lobby not in
the frigid cold. She didn't once take the moment to think about the
impact this would have on her to be in laws or her parents if they found
out. I am sorry if this sounds old fashion, I don't mean to sound that way,
but there are some things you just don't do. There are some times that
you need to think about what the world has to say just to keep you out of
possible trouble. I don't care if her intentions were good, but the
situation wasn't so bad that she had to take such steps.

Jassi does not deserve any sort of iconic status and definitely does not
have my support. I refuse to support someone who is so selfish and
hypocrital. To prove how great she is, Armaan's character had to take a
360 degree circle to prove her greatness. It is too late Jassi. Sony
entertainment should have just stuck to showing the wedding rather than
all this unnessary hypocracy.

Finally, if the makers had stuck to Betty La Fea, they wouldn't be running
into these kinds of problems. I urge Tony and Deeya Singh not screw up
anymore good adaptations. If you can't do it right, then don't do it
all...hmmm...that is the message Jassi should be giving out.

PS - Katyal says, "..."Jassi ki shaadi pe kissiki nazar lag gayi..." Mr and
Mrs. Singh, and Mr. Katyal, keep your eyes off a good thing nahin tho
uspe bhi tumhari nazar lag jayegi.

oh, i sent this to jassi...woe is Jassi...

ahhhhh...jassi wants our support??? hmmm.....welll...ahhh....I don't think
so. I have a question, Jasmeet Walia, do you understand that there are
women in this world that don't have the freedom you have to open their
mouth and communicate properly like a human beings? They are treated
like dogs and kicked around. You have a good supporting family, a
loving fiancee (until he was basically farted out into tsk tsk zone to make
you look like God) who supported you. Yeah, unfortunately Armaan
slapped you(of course he had too, you have a goody, goody image to
maintain), yup bad thing indeed. He shouldn't have done that. Why
didn't you say something? Why were you beating around the bush???
How old are you?? You have a degree in finance and know nothing about
direct communication. Here let me teach you something...men need to
be told in simple words...they have low tolerances for voices coming from
women...and yes this is a true fact, but you will have to do the research
yourself. Actually, if you were so adamant on leaving, why didn't you
embarrass him at the alter and saved your parents the extra two cents
they had to endure. You want to reach out to those women who have
been oppressed? Please, sista. What are you going to teach them? Oh, I
get it...run away...it is the answer to all your problems. Get a makeover
and change your name... woohoooo...another way to solve your problems.
Is running away the solution to all your problems? Just curious...should I
do that too...my husband gets upset at me and I take off running to
bumf***, Idaho? Well, I do understand on thing...i sure do...all of a
sudden after so many months Armaan's character needed to be castrated,
destroyed, mutilated and put into a blender so that you would appear
spotless...afterall you do have mark on your daman...yes, some of us
managed to catch that premarital sex that you indulged in...and you are
out to give the women of the world a message to make sure they protect
their self-respect and self-esteem...you smart girl. Uh, could you
enlighten me as to what you were up to the rest of the time? Plus, it is
not like there are any other female protagonist trying to preach the same
values. Sorry, Ms. Walia, I don't sympathize you...nope...no sirree
Bob...but I guess I should say something nice so I salute you and your
hypocrisy, Ms. Walia...I wanna be like Jassi. 🤢

It is really nice to see on the comments section in Mumbai Mirror that on the whole people dont seem to be endorsing or approving dear Jassi's action. Serves all of them right.
