Lakhoon Khile Phulwa...
Unfortunately thats not true. It doesn't happen often that you come across such a show which has almost everything. A good story, characters, actors, direction etc. There are hundreds of shows, but only one Phulwa.
Khushboo Bhi Alag, Kismet Bhi Alag...
This line holds true for our show. It had a unique concept, different setting, characters hard to find in any other show, amazing actors that fit the role, story that had so much potential yet...it didn't get to live its full potential. If only it was a given chance things would have been different. If only the channel wasn't so biased towards our show and had given it a fair chance to let it run its proper course we would have witnessed a greater story. But unfortunately it wasn't, as unique its story was so was its fate.
Instead of getting its due appreciation it was ignored. And for what reason I ask? Because it failed to grab the masses attention who are too satisfied with the usual saas bahu rona dhona, kitchen politics and because it didn't submit to the usual tracks of other shows? Because it actually tried to show something different, a strong female lead who can fight her own battles? Because it didn't have the usual OTT romance and sizzle scenes that would keep them hooked on? Because the lead wasn't always dressed in a heavy sari or being the shy girl next door? Only because it tried to make an effort to show story, essence and strong character rather than the usual melo-drama? But nobody wants that right? The audiences are happy watching the usual old stuff and not wanting to move on.
No wonder now PH and actors don't try to attempt anything different because they know that audience won't be watching their show. And of course the biggest factor among all these; TRPs. It's all about numbers at the end of the day. If PH and Channel know that this show won't get those numbers aka money they will never go for it. They give a damn about show, story, concept or audience choice, all the care about it numbers. Same happened with our show despite everything it lost against greed and biased people.
Phulwa had very untimely end and I will never get over it. But will always remember you for your unique concept and the beautiful story you gave us. True the past few weeks have not been so good in terms of story I know, many are upset with the way the story is being handled and some of our fellow members even left the show now because of it. Even I'm upset at the turn of events but despite that I can't get myself to be angry at it because I know it's just one more day and then the show will end. But can't put the whole blame on CVs as I can't forget they are the same people who gave us this different story in the first place. Also they have given enough reasons to smile and love this show so let's bid adieu to the show and its creators in a good way.
Thank you for giving us a chance to witness something different and the beautiful story of Phulwa and Abhay.
I know many of you may not agree with me on some of the points but...oh well, just felt like sharing it so. Feel free to disagree and sorry if my comments have hurt anyone, no such intention. Ab patanahi kab mulaqat ho. :(
