Dear Shobha and Ekta Ji,
Don't be alarmed if I tell you that KTH is the only of your shows that I watch, probably coz till recently it has been the most sensible of all your shows.
But what with the decision of letting Rajeev go, I think your porch light is getting too dim for words.
What do you want to portray in your serials- that women are either bitches or powerpacked goddesses and men are either submissive cows or adulterous, heinous and crap???
Sujal has been the best of your characters conceived so far, so natural, so convincing. But you are slowly making it a typical 'Ekta Kapoor' character. Rajeev's protests are totally justified.
And please don't badmouth Rajeev of interference in creative affairs. For he has been a very good director himself and can never tolerate something so illogical as you are showing in your shows. (Multi storeyed buildings in Shimla??? D-uh!!!!!) I think you should rather include him in the creative team and be thankful that he's helping on improving the show. Would he try to do it if he wasn't very much attached to it??? This only shows that he is genuinely concerned about the show, much more than Ekta Kapoor, who, as we are noticing, is ignoring KTH a lot these days.
KTH started as a youth show that was fun to watch. But now it has become an oldies love triangle. And you'll be sorry to know that we don't watch KTH for Akshat or Swayam, we watch it to see Rajeev's performance, wait eagerly for him when he isn't there.
So my conclusion- if Rajeev without KTH doesn't matter, but KTH without Rajeev is doomed! Well, think about it!!!
All the Best! (You need it!)
