Miley Jab Hum Tum is about to complete a year. Much as we, as viewers, congratulate Star One on its success, we also need to bring forth some issues that pose a serious threat to the future of the show. Our concern is Mayank and Nupur, who have always got the short end of the stick.
* Lack of sensible tracks and screen space:
Of late, Mayank and Nupur hardly get meaningful sequences. When they do, it lasts for an episode or two and then they are back to being used either as fillers or as comic elements. Sometimes, the show fails to live up to its promised two-lead pair promotion. Its hardly fair to focus on every aspect of one couple and fall back on chemistry each time MN deserve attention as well.
* Wasting away of Arjun and Rati's brilliant potential
The actors essaying the lead roles are not only very competent individually but also share a very comfortable chemistry that makes their time onscreen a treat. They have always elevated the potential of whatever track has been given to them. The clichd lost-in-a-jungle track is now remembered as one of the show's highpoints - a fact clearly shown even in the TRP charts. Arjun and Rati have a huge fan following and scores of viewers are hooked to the show just for them. If they keep getting a raw deal, its the shortcut to losing viewers.
* Detrimental to the show's TRP ratings
The sidelining Mayank-Nupur are subjected to is indirectly responsible for the dwindling ratings. Many MN fans have resorted to watching their scenes on You Tube as the show either offers minimal screen time or tracks that fail to appeal. The post confession scenes for instance, though magical, failed to garner TRPs. Understandably so, since one section of the audience lost interest courtesy Sheena and the other had long lost interest due to MN being constantly ignored. Thus, if Mayank-Nupur scenes are considered TRP-unfriendly, then it's plainly a misconception. In fact, their talent parade salsa performance actually took MJHT to #17 on the TRP charts!
* Missing out on a potentially unique telly pair
With primetime now crowded, Mayank and Nupur came as a breeze of fresh air. The smart hunk has often fallen for the shy girl. But MN were unique, interesting and fun. Now, even though they are in a relationship, emotional bonding and understanding are conspicuous by their absence. MN seem to have run out of their share of focus just when the love story had every scope of being one of the most beautiful ever. Their relationship has way too much potential to be thus ignored.
It's our ardent request to the team of Star One to kindly heed the above points and give this much loved and hugely popular pair the attention that it deserves. In the long run, such action will guarantee a much better viewership and also add more depth and meaning to the show.
Hoping to see Miley Jab Hum Tum reach new heights of success!
