Letters for Ekta Kapoor

Hi, Miss Ekta Kapoor

Wauw, I never believed that I would sit down and write an email to Ekta Kapoor, and adding that this is far from a complimenting email. But I feel that I should do this not just for my own sake, but on the behalf of a lot of seriously pissed off fans. I honestly doubt that this email will ever get read, and if it does, then I doubt it will be read by anyone on the Kya Dill Mein Hai-team. But it's still worth a shot. And at least I'll always know that I tried.

Now to the point; I, and a whole bunch of other fans, am really disappointed in what has happened since Naina Bhasin's death on the show. Yes, you probably knew that already, but did you also know that we've stayed loyal and endured every disappointment only because we had absolute faith and trust in the creatives? Did you also know that we've literally been feeling tortured for 20 episodes, and still we didn't turn our backs on this show, because we trusted that the creatives would be just to it and all the characters?

I don't know why this leap has been decided, except that it's hurt a lot of fans, who were already hurting because of the serious lack of Rahul-Kakun interaction on a show, which was supposed to be about them and their love, but turned into something completely different and disappointing for the past ten episodes. Do you have any idea how many fans have gotten hurt about this leap? Do you have any idea how many fans were upset, frustrated, heart-broken (and I could go on) about this? We all feel treated like crap, literally like crap. We've been sticking around, thinking and believing that the concept wasn't lost yet. That we'd return to the original concept of the story again. That this whole period was just that; a horrible period, and soon we would be given exactly what we'd been waiting for, hoping for, believing - and what we hear about is this 20 years leap?

Did anyone happen to forget that we're fans of KDMH? We're fans of Ekta, or at least we were, then how come we were treated this way? How come that despite of our protests and requests, we've been ignored and the creatives are going on with this leap-idea? What made KDMH different and in some ways better than other Indian shows was its uniqueness. It had one story-line, one concept. It was about Rahul and Kakun, about Kakun's relationship to her family, especially her new-found mother, it was about how true love is just that; true love, and there's a price to pay, and there's a war to fight - but in the end, true love wins. We've been following Kakun since episode one. We've endured what she has. We've loved what she has. We've hated what she has. We've suffered like she has. We became one with that character. We loved her and supported her and stayed with her through everything. How can it all just be pushed into the background and you jump 20 years ahead, when there's so much yet to show and resolve, so many questions, so many relationships that need to be mended, to be grown back together?

When I first read the news about the leap, I almost cried. And I'm not the only one. If you haven't already done this, then try and visit India-Forums and read the posts, you'll see just how many people are disappointed, hurt, angry, frustrated, depressed, and just how many feels seriously betrayed. We're all fans of this show. And it might be weird for you to understand, but we got really attached to the characters and the couple of Rahul and Kakun, you gave us their love, you gave us these characters and their love. How can you take all that away?

I really admired you as a writer. You're partially the reason why I wanted to become a script-writer myself. But one thing is for sure; if I ever do become a script-writer, I'll know to value my fans more, my viewers more. Because for a true artist, it's not the money that counts, it's the work of art and how it affects his/her viewers. Your show, KDMH, it changed my life. But I'm sorry to say that today I regret that I ever started watching it, because if I hadn't, then I wouldn't have felt this way right now. I feel utterly terrible. I loved this show so much, which makes the loss even more painful. I may not be a viewer of your shows anymore, but I just wanted to let you know that this leap is the biggest mistake you've made about this show, and I won't be supporting your decision by watching your show anymore.

Thank you for 70 absolutely beautiful episodes.

Kind regards,

Dear Balaji production,

I'm not sure if I've come to the right place but I'm writing this email regarding the show Kya dil mein hai. I want to protest about the possible leap in the show!!!!!

First and foremost let me start off with letting you know that I'm a very big fan of the show, or at least I used to be until now. I have never in my life ever done something like this before. I guess this shows the level of dedication I have for the show, maybe a little bit of desperation as well right now as I feel this is my last resort. Don''t even know if this will have any effect or not but I guess I didn't want to loose my chance of trying since this is the only way right now.

The show got me intrigued from the very first episode. The story was very simple and novel, and the screenplay mind blowing amazing, can't find the right word to describe it's greatness. However, The show have taken a great turn after the death of Naina B, and it's been for the worse. There has been many twist's in the show which have been very great, entertaining, and nailbiting. But with the twist with Aman being a psychopath and Kakoon being married to him just spoiled the mood of the entire show. Post their wedding it feels like there's no charisma left in the show, Kakoon's and Rahul chemistry have been entirely missing, which have been the heart and soul of the show.

But as a very loyal and addicted fan I kept watching the show hoping for a great change soon to come, wishing somehow that the truth about Aman will soon be unveiled and a possibility will arise for a Kakoon and Rahul reunion.

Now I hear that there are talks about a 20 year leap in the show which is making me feel very outrageous. If either one of the main characters, Kakoon(Abigail) or Rahul(Aamir), are no longer a part of the show then what's the point with continuing the show?????

The entire show evolved around these two main characters.

If such a leap actually takes place and either Aamir or Abigail gets replaced then I can guarantee you all that you will most probably loose most of the viewers of this show. Not a single person watching this show have been happy with the show's recent development, but still we all endured it hoping good episodes were to come. With a leap it will it will be the last drop and most of the viewers will bid adieu to the show.

I seriously hope that you guys will really consider this plea, I represent many viewers opinion not to have the leap. Don't take this away from us.

Thanks for taking out the time to read my humble request.

We, the viewers and fans have put up with a lot from you; unfinished subplots and plots, going back on your word about finishing it at 70 episodes and then the most RIDICULOUS of all plots with so many holes its like swiss cheese- Naina Behsin murder and what has followed! But still we've said nothing and put up with it all because we BELIEVED that at some point you would realise the mistake your making and come back to the original story of Kakun and Rahul.

But did you do that? NO! Instead you've decided to take a 20 YEAR LEAP! How more idiotic can you guys be! It makes no sense from any point of view: If we look at it from a financial point view, which to be honest is all you guys care about, which is fair enough. How does re-placing Aamir and Sanjeeda, Indian TV hottest couple, keep your ratings up? A vast majority of viewers are their fans and only watch because of them. If you don't believe me then go on to the Forums and read for yourself. KDMH once a interesting and good drama has gone into the dumps due to extremely poor and stupid scripts. You should fire your script writers as they know nothing about writing and worse on top they didn't even bother with regards to previous plots and the characters themselves!

So with this leap you will lose Aamir and Sanjeeda fans and leaves you with what-fans of the show? Fans of Abigail? Well as a fan of the show i've only been watching on the belief that your going to recognise the mistakes you've made and rectify them-but it seems you just want to continue to build on top of your mistakes and i don't have the patience or the energy to continue to watch and i'm sure that goes for a lot of other fans out there who may watch just for the show. So that takes us out.

As for Abigail fans, i'm sure they'll watch but will always compare her new role to that of Kakun and whoever is her Rahul replacement to Rahul. Not sure if the new story line will hold their interest for long either as the chemistry between Aamir and Abigail is amazing and very convincing and if this can't be recreated you will lose them too.

You should think long and hard before taking this action as it could be the final nail in KDMH coffin and if you continue with it I can't see it surviving to its 2nd Birthday.
