Interestingly, this is not the first time that audience has had tried to play censorship scissor-hands with Kuch Rang.
That television has a fiercely loyal audience is a known fact. The allegiance however is a double-edged sword. While on one hand the viewers swear by their favourite shows and actors, on the other, they can be brutal if the story doesn't quite align with their line of thought. The hugely popular show Kuch Rang Pyaar ke Aise Bhi for instance bore the brunt of this obsessive side when they received a backlash after a scene from the show was leaked online. It shows the character of Dev (accidentally) slapping his father-in-law Bijoy. From humble requests to edit the scene to scathing comments questioning the integrity of the writer, the team got an earful on its social media pages.
Director of the show, Yash Patnaik however is unwavering in his approach though. He says, "The audiences' feedback is very important but that we can't write every character keeping Lord Ram in mind. It is only during situations like these that we can show the dynamism of a character. It is a very well thought out track depicting the equation between both the families." So will he or won't he consider the audience's reactions? "Alterations happen when there is a mistake' in the storyline. That is not the case here. If I start showing everything that's real, I'll have to make a documentary; will the audience watch it then?" he asks.
The show's writer and popular pop-corn fiction creator, Durjoy Datta concurs. In fact, he looks at the backlash as a positive sign. "The fact that the people are reacting so strongly to the show means that they are engaging with it. It was never a show with frothy relationships, it was meant to have complications."
Interestingly, this is not the first time that audience has had tried to play censorship scissor-hands with Kuch Rang. This other sequence stirred a controversy when the mother (Supriya Pilgaonkar) was privy to her son's bedroom drama. In Saath Nibhana Saathiya, when they showed Meera (Tanya Sharma) marrying her sister's father- in-law it created a similar resentment with a section of the viewers condemning it for the non-traditional approach.

I really don't want to cut any scenes of upcoming track...let them show there story...am sure they have planned something
Still in our society... This things happen where boy's family disrespect girls family and I have heard where man beat women or his family intentionally but in case, it's happened intentionally... I mean he doesn't slap intentionally.
And if Makers r trying to show something like that, then what's wrong in it...they moust have planned something..
Durjoy dutta is not fool or other writer of show.
