I dunno..!!
I just felt like sharing this thing.. after seeing the spoiler pic...

Never keep hopes high from any show.. and particularly never get totally attached and emotionally attached to it.!!

I am not aiming or targetting any post or member ... it's just I am spreading positivity .. but somewhere.. wounds are yet to heal..!!

I was once upon a time.. addicted to serial called Kahannii Ghar Ghar Kii..!!
This serial.. had a jodee called shruti-aryan.. and I was die hard fan of this couple..!! But it being typical kekta couple.. that too side wala..!! she got them divorced, made Shruti fall for someone else.. and destroyed the couple.. like she did with anu-prerns, and prem-mukti...!!
Pheww...
I couldn't concentrate on my exams.. I could only cry cry cry..!! and nothing could make me happy..! My mom was worried for me..!! She wondered why I cried..
Factor that could click was.. that we had recently shifted from USA back then, and this was first time we were experiencing exams in India... so.. she could think of it as I am not comfortable with academic system in India.. but deep in my heart knew.. I cannot tell her the reason.. for me not being able to concentrate.. marathi..was subject I was doing first time ever. as in USA.. we never studied as an academic paper...😆😆😆 friday had tragic end of kahani's episode with split in couple.. and marathi paper on monday.. So what happened???
I FAILED..! I couldn't pass in the subject..!!
Thankfully.. my addiction wasn't out on surface yet...!! because.. according to all.. we were new to subject and country.. (though my bro had cleared it..😲😲😲)

Incident 1 ended..!!

Incident 2... New Serial.. titled.. Kasam Se..!!
I was addicted to the show.. mom and dad realized.. I am being tv freak..!! they cut cable.. I discovered something called India-FOrums..!!😆 and continued by crazziness.. sooner or later show lost it's charm.. and I went on to new show called Kumkum..!!

Post leap jodees of Dhruv-Siya and Sharman-Neeti.. impressed me to the core.. I was crazyy.. I was like.. addicted to the jodee..!! then.. what happned one fine day?? all the four characters.. Dhruv-Siya, Sharman-Neeti.. were replaced.. at one go.. something my heart couldn't bear.. sky had falled on my head... my tears were uncontrollable..!! No exams were on head.. and I was out of my mind..!! I cried cried till I got fever and finally hospitalized.. most of the people from the forum may have remembered this.. I had friend called Nandini from IF, who kept in contact with me..! and whom I updated.. my concentration for next exam was anyways low..!! I was almost nearing my HSC times.. but sooner or later.. guess what happened??
I forgot about the show and characters..!!

I made sooo much of loss.. failed once, troubled and wasted parents money.. for what ??? For serials.. which are just portrayl of someone's imagination.. and has nothing to do with reality..!! That was all the reality check I needed, before getting into other major trouble for me and my life..!!

Our own real life is just soo beautiful... though not perfect.. it is special... and someone's vague imagination and characters shouldn't come in our way of reality..! Get into dreamland.. see urself.. as successful, teacher/ doctor/ photographer/ actor/ or whatever..! Get a glimpse of perfect life u want to live.. and u will love.. use the defence mechanism of imagination whenever u need ... nothing wrong..!! over-use can draw u away from reality..!!

Just be in real.. be in person..!!

Be addicted to show.. But don't make it a drug..
Be attached to the show... but don't involve too much of emotion..!

Even if it's EMA..!!

Anyways.. My post wasn't to make anyone senti or add to their dukh...of new spoiler pic..! just to convey don't make mistakes I have made.. cuz.. my addiction and attachement didn't only affect me.. it spreaded to my parents... it affected hell loads people who love and care for me,,!!!
That's life.. our life..!!!
Concentrate on Studies, Concentrate on work... they make our life..
serials are just meant to be stress buster.. and so is IF..!!
I am telling u.. if I have survived my MSc. Thesis period.. it's only due to Ragna and IF..!! but still not going to let it affect me in negative way..!!!😃

And now enjoy EMA if u want.. or switch to SNS for today eve,,!!

That's so true, we invest so much of ourselves in these shows and experience everything that they are too especially our loved couples.
I too have have experienced this a couple of times and try my best not to get so affected but it happens.

The last time I was seriously addicted was to Maan-Geet in Geet and now to Ragna.

I understand what you are saying that we need to be grounded and not get so carried away but sometimes knowing it's not practical we still do 😕

Thanks for the reality check 😊 Though I'm still in love with Ragna 😉

Wise word friend, wise words. Coincidently, I've been addicted to all the shows you mentioned, esp Kasam Se and countless others. But as long as we keep focusing on the positive aspects, it should be a smooth sailing journey... 😊

So true! I love EMA but it can never overshadow my real life! Our lives are too special for a reel life to make trouble in it! That's what I am trying to say, stay calm and enjoy the show...after all it's just a show! 👏
