MB, your views are definitely practical and completely from the POV of the PH....But we are viewers, on the other side of the screen...LTL has touched us so much that we don't want it to join the same list of "crapfest" (Thx Nu).....Do we think PH would listen - I dont think so because as you have stated - as long as a venture is profitable, they would go on....End of the day "THEY" are bothered about profits....but we arent...We are not here for Profits, we are here for eternal experience that LTL offers and its our love for this show that makes us "appeal" to not let it join the same rat race....To not make it a TRP Generating machine...To kill the eternal feeling that we have grown to live in....

MB, Ours is an emotional appeal, PH's would be a practical one for their shoes....There is nothing immatured about either of us, for a mere fact that each of us are not on the other side of the table....Ofcourse, we know they wouldnt kill the show, but its our emotions that speak...our conviction to not see the ultimate deterioration of a masterpiece...and let it go in the golden pages of the TV Industry as a unique artistry in "totality"...I am tired of watching shows in piecemeal....Show 1, Watch forst 180 epsidoes...Show 2, First 100 episodes and then from episode 150 to 175....Why cant we have a show, complete and beautiful in itself....We cant see a masterpiece falling into pieces...That's why the appeal but we arent illusioned about the business affects...I can assure u that!!!


DD, rest assured that I am very much on the audience side of the whole matter 😆 But the cynical and 'defeated' part of the audience that has grown accustomed to this kind of stuff and learnt better with time not to expect goodness till the end. Maybe the petitions will make an affect and that'll be very nice as a memory to cherish...but since the the show ends for me when MR leaves, despite of whether it continues on or ends in reality, it doesn't matter much. That is my opinion only though and you guys should definitely go ahead with the petitions and putting effort into the show if you feel that it is or will be worth it.

@bold: There has only been one show on Indian TV for me like that, which didn't disappoint or earn critique for even a single moment...Rishta.com (:

Oh! I am not into petitions et al....😛😉
One because I know Mishal wouldnt change his minds "because of" petitions...If this is his way to apply pressure on PH, thats different...or if he is dng it genuinely for Bollywood dreams, then no amount of appeal would work...I dont believe in appealing to an actor!!!!
and I always saw LTL as a show that I could just buy the "complete set of the series" and cherish in my library for ever!!!...I didnt wanna buy in chunks....
Not that LTL hasnt put me off, but they were temporary instances,biggest being the IPL phase ...but everytime it slipped, it managed to get back on its foot and rise higher....and thats why, I cherished it....
Totally with u on the Rishta.com.....You see what I mean, when I say Totality?....That show was a complete package of perfection...Every case that the duo got was perfect...their own story and track and emotion was perfect...the end was perfect....The writer had a finesse in his writing.....Those are the shows I crave for....Totality....sticking to the primary objective of the show....Unfortunately, such shows meet an early demise...I still cherish Rishta.com for its totality...Whatever was offered to us was golden!!!!.....and thats why the hope that LTL will also bid us bye with the same feeling - till it was on screen,it was golden!! 👍🏼

Fatty, I don't think this is a question of not understanding why the producers WANT to keep on extending the show since it is their revenue machine or whatever....LTL is not every other crapfest....EXACTLY why I DON'T want to have to see it reaching that point....sure the show will be dead for me too once MR leaves but what exactly is so bad about asking for a proper culmination and ending to a story that has been built up so well for a year? I'm not looking at this from either MR's point of view or the production house ka point of view....I'm looking at it from my own point of view....and my point of view is related to what this story has been....how amazingly this character has been enacted by MR....this entire journey....won't it be for naught if the character doesn't even reach a resolution?....Ofcourse we will all cherish the memories of the first year....but the story is at such a point and they DO have a time of almost two months to make it reach a good conclusion...then why not? Would you seriously rather watch Dutta talking to Seema for one month as Nakku cries or challenges Kala in PN simultaneously and then MR just leaves? After allllllllll this time.....this entireeeeeeee journey....everything....all that leads to just THAT?! [/quote]


@bold/red: Totally agree with you and I did say that I don't care for what they do beyond a decent culmination of the story so far, which is what I'm hoping for...(worst-case-scenario mode activated 😆) Whatever they choose to do after that is up to them because it really doesn't matter to me...and maybe I've already started cutting-off from the show in my own way which is why I'm looking at this whole thing from a distant perspective 😆 Wouldn't it be funny if it all turned out to be a mega publicity stunt like the Uttaran-wala case some members mentioned? 😆 But even that doesn't look likely anymore 😛 Anyways, isi ka naam hai zindagi (:


And I personally totally agree with this too, which is why I wave good-bye to LTL when MR leaves. No replacement or new character can make up for what he did for this show...that is entirely out of the question.

Makes you wonder if ending it was a good thing after all, haan? Finite end...conclusion (?)😆....and yes I agree with DD on that....that is the reason why so many ppl are asking to end LTL....a finite, logical end to a show lets you cherish it as a closed package....with no random ingredients thrust in aevein to mess up the whole recipe.

But I see what you are saying from your perspective....defense mechanism?😆....Shut off your mind/heart towards the show already....baaki jo marzi ho, haan?😆

oh how I wish this was an Uttaran-type stunt😆....but sadly it isn't *sigh*....Oh well....life goes on....

On a random note....it's kinda like that wannabe Vikas whatever who tried to play Prem/Yudi after MB left....remember that? 😆😆....dude was totally aping MB's style and it was soooooooooo cringe-inducing to watch....do you seriously want to watch some guy attempting to clone MR's mannerisms as Dutta? *shudders at the mere thought*.....but then...I guess you wouldn't be watching the show by that point anyways, haina?😆

I trust Rishab Seth's writing enough that if he ever writes a second season, it won't be bad :P It may not be as good as the first, that's a possibility, but he's too sensible for it to ever become crap 😆 And with R.com's format, the locked script and bank of episodes shot six-months prior...that makes all the difference between something totally packaged and a daily.

I see we are still on this topic. I got lost when someone mentioned SRK as Don 😍

I love SRK 😳

Coming back to the matter of the day, so the production house and channel are not just gonna abruptly end the show just coz the actor wants to leave, they have invested money and channel schedule, syndication and etc. So they need to drag it with or without the actor, which is fair coz the show doesn't just involve the actor alone as there are many other people and things that are part of it . But if TRPs fall, then we will see another Bidaai.

I mean you can't blame CVs or the channel and you can't blame the actor as well. Everyone is entitled to do what they think is right for them.

It will be hard to see another actor play Dutta, the actor was good but he doesn't want to do it anymore. So let's see how they resolve the matter and time will tell and heal.

It is a regrettable that after a year we may not get to see the ending or closure we were looking for but CVs have surprised us many times, so we may get it and then they shift the show to another phase. 🤔

Or they might just offer the actor a big fat paycheck that even he can't refuse and voila! you girls have your Dutta back. 😆

I dunno I stil love SRK though 😳❤️

Arey I'm SURE he will....I don't even care if the second season isn't as good as the first, I want R.com back at ANY cost!😆😆.....That show is above and beyond the norms of any other show on TV....and yes it would be a quality product anyways cuz it would be free of daily show pressures.

A Premika's strongest suit has always been and will always be--- denial! 😆 We're such a resilient, well trained lot😆....if we can learn to deal with what they did with PM, then anything's possible, haan?😆


Vikas Sethi, Anu 😆 But they can't clone MR...imagine some other guy wearing his kurtas 😕 😆 How weird it would look 😆 Mehhh Sethi Vethi....don't care😛😆....he was a total cringe inducing JOKER to watch trying to be like UD/Prem😆.....ofcourse they can't clone MR....but what if they still TRY? That's what I dread....maybe that's why they are considering doing away with Dutta and bringing in the new cop guy....either ways the ideas are not going to work

Just a random question what's with this obsession with Bollywood?? What's wrong with TV? I mean all the Bollywood actors are trying to get a slot of TV anyways. Even SRK is hosting a show on Imagine.

I find it weird that people underestimate the power of TV. Almost every household has a TV and ppl in rural areas only recognize actors thru TV. Not everyone goes to the cinema, some actually buy DVDs and watch at home.

Even in Hollywood the actors are both TV and film stars.They appreciate good work and script more than the whole Hollywood facade. I remember Robert Downey got back into the limelight after his appearance in Ally Macbeal (which he won an Emmy) before his rise to fame again and now he is Iron Man.

I just don't get these Indian stars though.

This is just my honest opinion like everyone other actor on TV hollers 'Bollywood' all the time. Most of the Bollywood movie are trash, fake and just plain wrong. Only a few exceptions you get movies like MNIK, Rajneeti or Kal Ho Na Ho . The same goes for South Indian movies, only a few exceptions.

ok done with my two cents 😃
ciao ladies.

Totally agree on the bolded bits, FF 👍🏼

As for your question about Bollywood, I think that is considered the 'ultimate' in an Indian capacity for an actor, so all of them want to have a taste of it or see it as the 'attainable' peak. I'd also think that an actor would feel that he'd get more variety in doing movies than sticking to one character and one show for somewhere around two or so years. Plus, TV gives you fame through character...i.e. those kids shouting 'Supriya Tai' at a train station (?) 😆...it is more indirect and distant, whereas movies generate recognition in the actor's name itself.

Whatever it might be, I totally agree that TV > Movies as a medium of storytelling...and that is all across the board for me, Indian or not.

MR leaving is very very disappointing..as Duttas and Nakus relation was the central theme of the show...and by doing the Kekta style lets bring an undercover cop into Nakkus life ...is plain spoiling the show and no one wants such a story...CVs please end the show...if u must bring the undercover cop..then let him go under cover by falling off the cliff and bring dutta back
