Omg I just found out, that Ghum fans launched a complaint to IBF against the show and channel. IBF has actually sent a complaint to the channel and show.
They makers replied back saying they are taking redeeming steps.
This is good but 10 years ago FD got a show shut down, it's none other than IPKKND and I was part of the FD😆 actively participated in getting it shut down 😆
Short story is Barun was leaving the show for other opportunities and Gul wanted to continue with Sanaya and a new ML. Viraf Patel was even chosen to play the lead but audience could not see KKGSR with anyone other than ASR😆
So after countless messages to SP, Gul and Gautam Hegde (writer) and petitions after petitions, finally Gul agreed to end the show with ASR and Kushi living happily ever after 😆
Back then we didn't have Twitter or IG, we managed to pull this through FB, IF, Gul Khan's website and SP's complaint page 😆
Gul had made Barun give an exit interview where he said, was leaving the show on his own accord and Gul had nothing to do with his decision. Poor Gul got bashed so badly at that time. Also she started becoming busy with Qubool hai in Zee Tv with KSG, so that distraction also led her to make a decision to shut the show.
IPK for most part had a TRP of 3.0 for the first 1 year and it was aired at 8 pm slot. But in the last 6 months TRPs dropped to as low as 2.5 and could not come back up again. Also Barun was in and out during the tracks as he had started working on movies at that time and audience/ fans were also missing him in many episodes.
But got to give to the actors of that show, the best ITV cast I have ever seen. They are all still friends to date. When Barun was gone for his movie shoots, Sanaya would take the entire load and have not heard her complain even once. Also Akshay, Deepali, Daljeet, Jayashree T, Utakarsha Naik, Karan Goddwani also supported her splendidly in various tracks.
But after that show, never bothered to watch the subsequent seasons by other PH or OTT version by Gul.
I heard that season 2 was made by Spehere Origins with a different cast. Thank God, I didn't watch it back then😆
To this date I laugh when I remember those days and how active I was in IF and FB and even went to the extent of actively taking part in shutting the show😆
But Gul and Gautam Hegde interacting with fans really helped a lot. Gautam Hegde used to visit IF-IPKKND forum and ask for feedback or contact him through his FB page. I myself have interacted with him😆 He was open to suggestions from fans about what they want to see.
Sometimes I feel how did Arshad Khan, the director (current director of PS) become this bad when he used to be so good back during IPKKND days. Even Kushi, Mami and Bua's comedy used to be enjoyable and no cringe worthy stuff anytime😆
Anyway I hope GHKKPM team gets what they want 😃
