And DARE anyone and especially that Ekta say that this is entertainment - I don't see us being entertained!! It certainly hasn't done anything for the TRPs and nor has it done anything for Ekta's image. The woman claims to be God-fearing and to want the best for her viewers - this is what she gives us? We put up with years and years and YEARS of her crap, just for that one tiny ray of hope, and what does she reward us and our patience with?
I think the reason PD never looked good or worked in terms of chem is because Manoj and Tina obviously knew how the fans felt about it. And consciously or not, they acted and reacted upon that. Manoj and Tina have looked bored beyond tears recently, but we all know - thanks to ESBE - that it is not because they are bored with each other: its because their chars are not worth fighting for anymore.
Ekta knows exactly how to shoot herself in the foot. She claims that this is one of her fave serials - well let me ask you guys something: if something is your fave, would you a)try your DAMNDEST to save that thing and keep it with you forever, or b)ruin it because you have nothing better to do?
What did killing Mukti achieve, Ekta? No, I really want to know - what were you thinking? Did you think it would generate TRPs? Fail. Did you think the audiences would love the twist? Fail. Did you worry that Mukti was getting more popular than Prerna? Did you think that you are invincible? FAIL. Ekta is a sadistic, cruel woman (believe me, my choicest words are too rude to print here) who toys with people's emotions. Fair enough, its just a TV show, but a lot of people (unfortunately) invest a LOT of themselves in these serials and Ekta knows this. She breaks people's hearts, quite literally. Wasn't there an article about that old woman who literally went on a fast because Mukti was dead? She didn't eat for days. This is what Ekta will do to us. And you know what, she's a bloody hypocrite. She won't kill a 3,000 year old Baa because she can't "upset the fans", but she'll kill the most beautiful creature simply because she was upstaging the main character, or so Ekta may have believed. She won't listen to the enormous petitions, the pleas of the fans to bring Mukti back, but she'll go on record to say that her audience is the most important. Like hell it is.
Sorry for the long rant, but I just had to get this out after today...
