Enough is Enough...Lets Stop all the Whining...

Since the whole of last week there have been several posts on this forum regarding MB leaving KTLK. The reasons he gave and the reasons given by the channel have been posted in so many articles and have been announced on almost all TV news shows...

+To say I was upset when I first read this news is putting it very mildly. I was shocked out of my wits and I was so upset that I could think of nothing but the show since then...Not because of what would happen to the show by MB leaving but because Ashni to me had become synonymous to MB-KK. I could not imagine not seeing MB as Ashu...

Since the first Promo had been aired I had fallen hook line and sinker for Dr Ashutosh...Then slowly as the show was aired and it progressed I experienced the same feeling for MB...Not for MB as the person but MB as the character Ashutosh..He breathed life into the character...His suave looks, his mannerisms, the way he carried himself, his expressions...and most of all his cute dimpled smile...everything endeared him (the character) to me...I was so obsessed that even when the screenplay started faltering and the show began to border on absurdity..I still did not lose my fervour to watch the show...Despite all the criticisms levelled against it (All justifiable ones)...I continued to watch it and to drool over Dr. Ashutosh...Even the criticisms about his reluctance to appear in the same frame as KK could not keep me away from the show...

Then suddenly out of the blue this announcement was made...The announcement though it appears to have come suddenly out of the blue is definitely a very well-thought of one...I say this because over the weekend I have been considering all the happenings of the past few weeks and have realised what an idiot I have been not to see this coming sooner...We had all heard that MB had problems doing romantic scenes...but what we were not sure of was was it romantic scenes in general or only such scenes with his lead actress?????

Also the presence of his bodyguard on the sets during all his shoots was another point to be considered...How could a mature man and that too in this profession refuse to do certain scenes was definitely a moot point and several discussions have already been held on it...

U will all be wondering what is the relevance of all this to my post title...Well here it goes...

I was hurt, angry, upset...everything possible when I realised that MB had left or had been made to leave the show. Like all here I too had been hoping that he would reconsider coming back or the channel would reconsider bringing him back. But after reading Sneha's tweets over and over again that MB just does not want to come back I scolded myself and said..."Mehek dear its high time u snapped out of this stupidity...If Mr MB is so insensitive to his fans' feelings and thinks so much of himself then why should u care whether or not he comes back, and who will play the role in his stead?...Agreed he did full justice to the role and in the episodes post V-Day he did an awesome job and has left many bitter-sweet memories with us...But I needed to make myself understand that this is just a show and what I was crazy about was just a character in a show...So this afternoon i had a heart-to-heart with my friend (Who was also feeling the same kind of depression) and together we bade goodbye to MB and decided to look forward to the show and to give his replacement a fair chance to prove himself. We also decided To snap out of our silly dejection and not only to enjoy some of our other fav shows but pursue our other most favourite pastime...For me its reading...so i took hold of a good book and started on it...Now I feel I have come out of my dejection/depression and am ready to face the show tomorrow at 8pm and see what happens...

I feel that all of us must snap out of this and accept that MB is no longer Dr Ashutsh and for the sake of the other actors connected with the show we should continue giving our full support to the show...Depending of course on how the script/story progresses...Also we should stop giving so much importance to a person who does not care about the feelings of his fans...So the following is for u Mr MB...

If u think u have taken the right decision then so be it...here's wishing u all the best for ur future endeavours...u gave us a character we will remember for a long time to come...And hopefully we will be able to see and accept another actor stepping into the role of Dr Ashutosh...God Bless U and may u succeed in all that u do in the future...Although it will take a long time to forget u as Dr Ashutosh but time they say heals all wounds and one day I will laugh at myself for going bonkers over a mere TV character...

Now that I have poured all this out in print I am feeling very relieved and am ready to face the trials and tribulations of life once again and also looking forward to watching KTLK WITHOUT MB...

Thanx to all for tolerating my ranting but I needed to let off steam and am glad I managed to let it off my chest...

Thats one of the benefits of this forum Mehek-I too realised that discussing the feelings always helps!!



And you surely couldnt have done this on MBs wall 😆

Good for u Mehek...we all must now think of what to do to forget this betrayal ..yes i still think of it as a betrayal ...for all fans of the show.

Nice post Mehek. Last week when I heard the news, like everyone I was very upset but surprisingly convinced myself to get out of it when I read that SK will play Dr. Ashu. But again next morning read the news about RS in talks with MB, became hopeful about MB's return till yesterday when he himself cleared the doubt.

I am really angry on him, on PH b'coz i think all of them played with our emotions. Nobody considered us, our feelings and that is the biggest pain.
(MB may be right at his place, may be he is suffering from serious health issues, but i am not ready accept it as a complete truth)

Its high time that they should announce the new name. It will be helpful for the viewers to get mentally prepared. Now plz dont try our patience. This week will be full of rona dhona but by next week they should show Ashu...
