For some time now, I have been wanting to make this post. I refrained from doing so because I would be accused of bashing. That is not my intention at all.

I am not a fan of any actor, I see them as characters and that is that, I don't care who they are, what they do and so on, all I care about is whether they do justice to the character given to them. I do not accord any importance to them beyond that. Their personal lives and their careers are their problem. It is for them to handle. I am only interested in a story being told well.

Coming to this show, what has happened is sad. We, the fans of this show, had the pleasure of witnessing a most unique way of narrating a love story - in split frames and using body doubles. The unique experiment came to an end with actor replacement. Although there was no official reason, the sudden disappearance of split frames and body doubles told a story of their own.

Now, we have a unique track where the female lead's maternity is being explored through a third party, since the actor refuses to be pregnant on the show. This is no conjecture since the writer of the show has stated it categorically on his page. The makers wanted a baby track but had to abort it as the actor was not willing to co-operate. They have now reached an impasse and are unable to come up with anything but random tracks to fill time.

I still don't care about the actors. They are not my headache. All I want to know is why I, a viewer, am being taken for granted. While actors and their rights are being justified, why am I, a lover of this show, being victimised for no fault of mine. Is it because they do not give a damn for me and my love? Or is it because they are so confident of my loyalty that they have started taking me for granted.

Have already shared my angst on the writer's wall. I could not refrain from sharing my thoughts here too. I repeat that I am not out to bash anyone. However, if any sensibilities are hurt or any rules broken, I apologise in advance.

I love KTLK...and Ashutosh and Nidhi...all others are of no significance to me!

Ohhh relax ma'am... the CVs and channel heads will find a way to this baby track problem... Ultimately, everything will fall into place... it's just that our writer is fond of experimentation at 5:00 AM and nowadays the TRP reins too aren't there, so, they have full freedom that they are enjoying and we - the viewers are regretting...

I am feeling the same. I feel shortchanged. Donno whom to blame for this mess, but watching recent episodes makes me cringe at the downfall.

Yes, even i want to know that why we, the viewers, are being taken for granted ? Is this the prize we have to pay for our loyalty ? No, they can not take us for granted...as for me...i am waiting for a response from the great man & depending on his response...will decide whether to quit or not... if it goes on like this, then its quits for me...what they are forgetting is that if they loose loyal viewers then who will watch the show...taking into consideration its late timings, i do not think they can attract new audience...

Tupu...I am fine,,,I just thought I should share my feeling of being treated like an expendable commodity,,,I think quite a few people here feel the same...what they can or cannot do is something. I really dont want to speculate on...

You know Sujata felt exactly what you are feeling , have now thought about it , is ti so important , true it gave a break from stressful work , enjoyed the crazy posts , laughed loud many a time but should it matter anymore, with everyone getting agitated, upset , you why DK did so well and remains so beautiful in our mind because they ended it when love was aknowlegded they didn't delve further , ktlk has tried and not suceeded to well our prince has become a frog warts and all and our princess a wilful queen think we all need time out from the serial and maybe these discussions, reminds me of our hospieets where we talk and talk but don't achieve much , ultimately it's the wall's baby and the more you bang against it the more injuries you' ll sustain

Blame KK, who else ? The entire track had to be changed because of her...Had it not been for her we would not have had Khushi...

i think my disconnection with the serial started with Amar's entry..no...now that i think about it, it started the day Mallika again came back pregnant..and the way that whole track was handled...now i don't even know what state its in. yes, i do feel they don't give a fig about the thoughts and reactions of the audience.

good post Sujatha.
