As for the audiences most of them will continue to watch as they feel dutta might comeback. This is the reason that they have yet to show what happened to dutta. They have all options open. God save LTL with the current version nd the current lead. Man! if u call urself an actor there must be some acting skills to display, nd this guy cant change frm the single expression frn day one. What a joke! he is the lead actor of the show.

Exactly what i have been saying all along. They want to extend till IPL ends. I don't think they are worried about the Trps or the Show doing well or not. Later they will replace it with another show after IPL as i guess 2 more Serials planned(read in TB articles) for colors.

@Shilpi....though I never really followed KSBKBT, I believe the USP of that show was the Family....and Tulsi who kind of held them all together...and it never changed! And there were several other characters....many among them were quite popular and had their own tracks which people were quite interested in! But LTL is so entirely different from that. Here they have spent a whole year in developing TaSha's relationship and exploring the various intricacies of Dutta's personality! They have paid minimum attention to other characters...except may be Kala...but even Kala's character becomes pointless without Dutta! Clearly, this show cannot be stretched to eternity WITH Dutta in it...and they would have wrapped it up by now hadn't it been garnering great TRPs, which I guess took everyone by surprise! And without Dutta toh...everything just falls apart! So now they have an impossibly uphill task in their hands....I don't think they'll succeed!

Rosa you are absolutely right though i was too young at the time when sbkbt was aired and dont even remember anything about it but my mom was a loyal fan of the show she tells me that they liked mihir bcos he was tulsi's husband but it was tulsi who was the selling point of the show but, in case of ltl it was dutta's entry that made all the difference and we[i think most of us] love naku bcos she was dutta's love interest .So dutta holds the same position in ltl that was held by tulsi in sbkbt, secondly mihirs replacement worked bcos amar was just an ordinary actor and that time ppl used to say that he overacted and with time tulsi started looking much older than amar so when ronit roy replaced amar it did not make any difference bcos ronit was a much better actor than amar, but when tulsi was replaced it did not work .Similarly dutta's exit or replacement won't work as dutta aka mishal is the selling point ,thirdly there were many more iconic characters like ba and savita , karan and nandini etc in kyunki but in ltl trp's used to fall when dutta was not there in the episodes also the direction and editing of kyunki was better dan LTL[recent epis].

It is very sad, if the channel is playing the waiting game just for the cricket to get over, and ruining the show in the process, it is cheating its loyal viewers from something they loved!

Jayati,
They have done this during last yr. IPL also .They prolonged dutta-supriya marriage track from march till end of may & they got away with it.Becaz viewers were not affected by that dragfast.So,this time again channel thinks that they can easily juggle the track of nakku & new entrants v/s NS & PN people thruout the IPL .They are reling on indian audience's capability to digest any crap delivered to them.
Besides when u have to start new show ,u have no gurentee people will like it or not.But,with existing one u know people will continue watching as they are familiar with all the characters.
Like Shilpi ,i also want indian audience to reject this new track & for once show their sensibility.
Only time will tell my wish is granted by indian audience or not😊

Pooja, it took a man like Anna Hazare to stand up and say enough is enough, we will not accept corruption any more...
We can also do it, honestly teach these channels a lesson by not accepting crap!

Jayati...crap on TV is not a cancer like corruption that affects everyone. There is no compariosion. So I doubt that anyone will care. Only option is using the remote if we dont like what's shown. I think everyone here is doing the same. I'll request everyone to also spread the message not to watch LTL. If you want options watch Tarak Mehta which is a good show, unaffected by TRPs and a channel driver of SAB. Gets great promotion and media attention unlike LTL ever did.

Smiriti irani was good actress...calling her great would be stretching it...But then when that show started on Amar upadhayay was equally famous as Mihir...when he went off to try his luck at films..Smriti did a great job of a widow...her acting on that one scene is still itched in my mind...but then their are Kumkums, Kashishs, jyotis etc etc etc etc....all these actresses are just average like mahi vij yet the show went on and on...i feel the fact that the maximum viewers of indian telly shows being woman this thing works...i have a sneaking feeling that even laagi would do well without Mishal as they have created the right cord of disquiet among general public...no declaration of Mishal leaving has reached the public..their are few who watch SBS,SBB etc or come to IF..infact they just watch the show and don't invest much in it..they would just want to know what happens next...what will be fate of the sad little wife gone bonkers without her loving husband...etc etc...so yeah even with substandard acting viewers will keep watching...show will have its run..

I want it fail...so badly...but i don't think it will happen overnight...I'll give it another 6 months..yes..6 more months maybe.

KSBKBT catered to middle aged to old women audiences just like today every other show in the top 10 in the trp charts do. Housewives usually are extremely patient and loyal. Thats why the shows they love can go on and on unlike youth shows and comedy shows which have a finite life. Only trick is to have women connect to the characters. The producers and channels can rest easy for the next 5 years. The shows usually go on auto-pilot mode after the initial 3 to 6 months. But I feel most of the main actresses of shows which ran for years were good acting wise plus they had good supporting cast too.
Somehow LTL never catered to these women audiences. Perhaps thats why Colors never expected it to do well or last long. Case to the point is my mom who never watches LTL. But eventhough she is a non-viewer her first reaction when she heard that MR is quitting LTL was 'then the whole charm of the show will be lost'. So everyone knows that the show primarily rests on Dutta/MR. I think for sometime people will keep watching irrespective of the montage to see what is happenning. If Naku's pairing with Digu clicks then well and good. Otherwise the channel will get Dutta back with a new face. If that also doesnt work then the show will wind up when Big Boss is to start.

Jayanti very apt topic certainly gets my back..... as far as the character of Dutta is concerned hemal thakkar has confirmed that it is a iconic to LTL, which is presently being confirmed by Dutta's FBs to various key characters and references to him....hence he has to return to tie the loose ends of this show to give it it decent termination. As you rightly put it whether that Dutta is still going to be MR is where the real question lies....now going by the FBs and a return to the original promo Mishal/Dutta and mahi is what you call dirty politics... we are deducing that Mishal ,IPL etc.. yes he and the channel are maintaining a silence .. again speculation..he is quiet because he cannot perhaps give a definite yeah or neah to the channel regarding his return,in case he gets a film offer... so is he thus keeping his options open? the channel probably are aware of this predicament and therefore cannot confirm his return as Dutta.... and therefore are still throwing him here and there in the present track to keep veiwers quiet. Until then we will just have to watch this space....Dutta as new face or what ever will to my mind will return.....
With regards to mahi in her present role...I do have a bee in my bonnet... like tasha lovers we loved her as Dutta/Mishal's love interest.....her as actor I feel was always over shadowed by mishal for the last fourteen months , recently in her display of in role insanity she has the opportunity of showing every one what else she is capable of as an actress; it goes with out saying here that her acting presently, of what I hear and read is nothing to write home about. I never thought she was a good either in jdj, in comparison to the other dancers, but what I did admire her for, was her reslience in staying till the end. She had public support till the end ,but that to me was because of her chemistry with Mishal in the Dutta/Nakku scenario. Any way for the minute Mishal is not there to steal her thunder and thereby best of luck to her in the present. I do ask for pardon if I have caused offence to Mahi fans, to me she is still part of the tasha pair ,and I always saw her as part of a pair and not singularly, in this case who do I blame, the channel or the creatives who are churning this preposterous humbug that ruined a clean,pure sublime story of two people who loved each other!

Shreya, of course corruption is the cancer at its last stages but when I compared it I wanted to just put the point across that if a lone man can shake the nation with his fast, we should also be able to do it with the channels, bombard them question them, reject their shows...I am not asking anybody to sit on the road or go on hunger strike that will be too much but as thinking audiences I think we should have our share of good entertainment, clean entertainment...
