1, Did you just have a skeleton of a story and an idea of a concept, of a convict on death row, of a transgendered vamp/villain politician, a female protagonist who comes as a fresh breath of air into the convict's life when you began the story and NOT have any sort of a STRONG STORYLINE that can carry you through months or years?

2. Did you not have a destination where you wanted to take this story to?

3. Did you not invest or research as to how there cannot be a trial and a conviction without a body of evidence and strong forensic evidence? Were you low on legal resources and legal research or crime research?

4. Did you base the story JUST on some news report in the United States and did not think of all the intelligent ways and means of enriching your storyline and adapting to an Indian Television audience?

5. Did you get carried away by the hype and not invest enough resources in playing out the storyline for a few more months with logic? Did you lack the gumption to follow through with your original storyline and did you have to change tack mid-way through? Did you have to bring in illogical plots just to continue the show?

6. Did you lose your way midway due to other factors such as non-availability of cast or crew?

7. In one of your interviews you mentioned that "you would take the storyline forward based on what viewer's want," does that mean that you lacked a proper story or that you had a story but wanted to engage the viewer's in developing the tangent that your storyline takes?

8. Who can be held accountable for the faltering steps in your storyline and the lack of any head or tail in your storyline, thus far?

9. Do you plan to continue in the same vein, henceforth?

10. Offering a "carrot" of some romantic scenes or a few brilliantly crafted scenes while beating audience with a "stick" of badly, pathetically crafted illogical scenes seems to be the hallmark of Ek Boond Ishq, off late, do you think your viewers will continue to watch despite the wafer-thin storyline, and the OTT dramatics?

These are questions that are being raised by your viewers and we are just summarizing them to some extent on Ek Boond Ishq Unofficial.

Can these questions be sent to Saba please? I think she needs a thorough re-evaluation of her story right now. I for one don't want to see this show spiral downwards any further. Great post btw! :)

Dakz, I wonder if they already know or are aware but don't care (as long as they get the UK and Indian numbers {viewership ratings})
