Those who are terribly offended by the content are choosing to take action via a petition. Not sure if anything will come out this. But that's their democratic right too, just like changing the channel is.

These petitions are like some groups protest to ban a film in the name of religion, politics, culture etc. Like how sensor boards dictate which scene should be there, which words should be removed. Good thing is many artist's and even people don't approve that. I'm personally against any kind of ban when it comes to entertainment, I think we have other options instead of banning some thing. This is like taking away an artist's freedom.

As if KKB writers/cvs/producer and channel are going to be bothered?? any no. of campaigns, complaints or petitions don't affect them, they do what they want to do and its proved, period. 🥱

While today's Indian television mainly on commercial entertainment channels is purely a business meant to give slots for advertisers at different pricing models, prime time viewing can be subject to scrutiny under Indian law quoting genuine proofs.. 😳 Though boredom, repetition of tracks, recycling and villains domination can't be termed as genuine reasons to raise petitions against TV shows similarly if rival channels, producers, fan groups join hands against a show in threat of competition with jealousy ..😕

I'm against banning any TV serials, there is always room for course correction. But Indian TV viewers have a right much beyond switching channels, sharing feedback's and influencing TRP's. They have every right to make complaints against channels or TV shows to appropriate authorized agencies at the right time quoting valid reasons by highlighting episodes and scenes that are objectionable for prime time viewing with families.

Whatt??😳 My personal opinion, some shows are going offline because of not getting trps.. Bas 'may be' it's the fans of those shows!! If i don't watch a show, i don't care if it's doing good or not.. But may be for some ppl, signing a petition is much easier than changing channel?? Or may be they just like wasting their time.. Completely my opinion though!!

The same has happened before with one other show from the BT.
But nothing will change.
The show will be getting some free advertisement due to it.
Indirectly encouraging more such crap.
Its only fiction.
Plus there are so many options.
At the end of the day it's business as usual .

The content of the petition and reason for complaint against the show sounded funny to me. These shows are for business and nobody from the channel or PH ever promised or marketed them for a certain message they will deliver.

Valid reasons and genuine complaints by viewers against prime time TV shows and channels do get a hearing with I&B ministry and BCCC. But no such genuine complaint quoting valid reasons has gone against KKB so far for concerned authorities to get into action.😛

But do check below link for some latest action take by council against a newly launched Sony TV show.. I haven't watched even a single episode of the said show airing on Sony. But when I read about uproar and complaints both online and offline against basic concept and how its being shown on a prime time slot that usually gets watched by kids in the country, I suspected that council may first ask channel to shift show from prime time to late night viewing.
