Kunal Das:The programming is based on variety entertainment. It is innovative, youthful, vibrant and colourful. It is targeted at women in the 15-35 age group, but includes the rest of the viewing universe too. Sony encompasses the emergence of the new youth of the new India of a new millennium. Our stories have no kitchen politics, they are aspirational, high gloss, real stories, not focusing on an overwhelming single element of life.
Me:Wow!! you focus on youth but I dont see any youthful things in shows like Kkusum,CID,JJKN,Crime Patrol,Rihhaee,YMLH u sure u foucs on youth? Umm your shows includes no kitchen politics? Then why did we see Pooja-Poornima fightitng over who gets to cook,who gets to help the family members?Not focusing on overwhelming single of element life....uh huh sure!
Kunal:
We believe in the values of marriage, family, respect for elders, education.Me:Really?You guys beleive in all these stuff? How on earth are Maya,Mahi,Mallika respecting elders?You guys beleive in values of marriage..jee zaroor ofcourse you do!Aur educuation means to teach us how to do it before getting married and get pregnant right? Kunalji tussi great ho! Wah Wah!
Kunal:
Consider Jassi. She is the icon of almost every north Indian woman.Me:Every north Indian Women turn from ugly ducklings to beautiful swans and do ding-dong be4 marraige?? hmm interesting
Kunal:They created Star One to try and topple Sony. And you know it went nowhere, while we went places.
Me:Ummm sorry to dissapoint u Kunaji but I think STAR GROUPS has succeeded...they went far beyond SONY.
Kunal:
Star is actually trying to copy us; they will fall furtherMe: Oh really?? Star is copyin u guys? Then how on Earth do u explain this?

Kunal:New shows will only come when viewers get tired of old shows. And that is not happening according to our research.
Me:What are you talking about?People are tired of watching Kkusum,Jnowdays people are not liking Jassi that much too as well as Ye Meri Life Hai and CID.What kind of researches do you do?
Kunal:My prediction is that Star will fall further, we will inch up closer. And it will happen sooner than anyone expects it to.
Me:What is up with you and Star Plus??I know it took away you award for "Best Channel" at the ITA..that doesnt mean u need to blabber about Star this much!You guys will inch up?Yes ofcourse...you will inch up closer.......closer to DEATH!
Kunal:Tarun is aggressive. He is hungry. He fights for getting the best stars, the best shows, the best.
Me:Tarun is HUNGRY for WHAT?? He FIGHTS for getting the BEST STARS?? DEAR LORD HELP SONY!! Mr.Kunal Dasgupta I think I got a headache after reading this.
Kunal:He has passion and belief in what he chooses to do. He brought that to the table at Sony.
Me:STOP!STOP!STOP! I noe you and Tarun love each other but please dont talk about his passions,TABLES with me.I am not interested!
Kunal:We also have to deal with piracy in Pakistan where we believe that around a million homes are watching Sony. We want to make those illegal connections legal.
Me:Ummm....correct me if I'm wrong but I heard SONY sued one place in India for showing ur channel illegaly...u guys didnt make their connections legal...instead u chraged them so they can pay u ppl since ur channel is going down the drain.
Kunal:Taffy...ur a smart boy!
Me:Last Question Mr.Kunal Dasgupta...any messages to the vieweres who goes through the torture and suffers like hell while watching ur channel?
Kunal:I love u all!! Keep on watching SONY and lern our valueable saanskars...it'll become handy for u guys in the future!
