Farewell has a sweet sound of reluctance. Good-by is short and final, a word with teeth sharp to bite through the string that ties past to the future. The story of life is quicker than the wink of an eye, the story of love is hello and goodbye...until we meet again. Good bye may seem forever. Farewell is like the end, but in my heart is the memory and there you will always be...
End of an era. When I refreshed my Twitter feed, there it was. Rahul Modis tweet. "All good things must come to an end, this 2 year journey has been truly fulfilling", my heart was in my mouth. I was numb from the shock. What did I just read. (2 seconds ago)...I paused. I clicked on the tweet (2 minutes ago). By that time the fandom had already gone into panic mode. To their upmost horror, shock and disbelief. This time it wasn't some stupid rumour, this time it wasn't just an SBS or E24 segment. This time it was real.
After months of speculation, and weeks of drama. Finally the PKDH CV himself put an end to the rumours. At first believe me I was upset, angry, frustrated...all of the typical emotions you would encounter the second you come across heartbreaking news. I tweeted star plus, I tweeted Anil jha, I emailed them. I did everything in my power to stop this. Signed petitions..you name it! The whole lot.
But what came of this anger and signing petitions or trending #DontEndPKDH...nothing! Zero! Zip! Zilch! It was like a slap in the face. I then started to accept this fact that my all time favourite show was finally coming to an end. I accepted this news, as hard and difficult as it may have been. It was just another chapter in my life closed.
For 2 years, I became so fond of my TV at 10pm everyday on star plus. It was a show like no other. Sure it had its ups and downs, sure it had some of the most best and worst tracks. But all that aside it was still my PKDH! Still my favourite show. As much as I saw this coming after weeks of rumours and news, and low TRPs, when it actually happened. That's when it really hit me. Nakuul and disha started tweeting about it as well. That's when it all became a reality which could not be denied.
I would go onto Twitter and see fans tweeting literally 1000 times to star plus and Anil jha to stop this from happening. I would see petitions and anger and revolt at their decision. Fans in their hundreds and thousands demanding SP to change their decision. But it seemed as though the damage had already been done, the 10pm slot would be dedicated to this new show called "Everest". Promos were out. Tweets were sent. It was all over for our beloved PKDH.
This 2 and a half year journey with PKDH has been both emotionally and mentally draining in both good and bad ways. I still remember the day I started watching. It was in June, and it was the very first episode. I honestly hated indian serials, I found nothing interesting about them. Just the typical Saas bahu drama. Same family drama etc. But I don't know why but PKDH was different. It was unique. It seemed fresh. I asked my mum who was already so engrossed in the episode, what's this show called. She said "Pyaar ka dard hai meetha meetha Pyaara pyaara", I said woah that's a mouthful. She ignored me ;) lol. After that the rest is history. From just my mum watching it, it then slowly became a family affair. My dad my brother and my sister all would sit down and watch PKDH mon-fri @ 10 PM on star plus.
I remember we got so obsessed with it that after each episode finished we would be sitting there discussing it like fanatics lol. To the point where we were in a desi restauraunt eating out and they had a tv there. It was 10pm. The episode which aired last night was adi and Pankhuris first marriage one. They had married without avantika's permission. Damn that was Intense. So then my brother asked the manager if we could switch the tv over to star plus so we could watch PKDH. The manager said "ARREH Pankhuri wala show! Of course course" he changed it over and all the bus boys and the waiters and chefs came out and sat INFRONT of the tv watching it. Literally it as though PKDH had taken over all the way from india to london! Even the customers started watching. Everyone! Gorreh included who didn't understand a word of hindi were watching it reading the subtitles gasping after each scene. What a moment that was!
The episode which stuck out to us most was when Pankhuri got hit by those goons saving nana jii and avantika. N Pankhuri was injured. Boy did that keep us at the edge of our seats. Bechari Pankhuri. Evil Rubal. We were hooked. And then how it was Harish and Avantikas 25th wedding anniversary. When preeti made that shocking announcement it was her baby, she got an abortion. Boy did that make us go crazy and talk about it for hours! We were discussing all the possibilities of what happened and why. Haha those were the days.
The day which I will never forget probably in this journey is the day it was "rumoured" that disha was quitting PKDH! Everyone was silent, RAHUL sir was tweeting how it was the end of season 1 and Nitesh sir was saying Bye to Pankhuri? We found out after that Pankhuri was being killed off, and her humshakal called Ayesha would come into the show although it was still disha. I remember saying to my sister "this could be the best or worst thing that happened to this show, it's literally make or break".
There was debates, petitions, arguments, tweets etc being sent out. The Fanbase was divided. It was Paya vs adisha. Bring back Pankhuri was all PKDH fans saw on their Twitter TLs! Day after day, months after months this dragged on for. It was crazy.
Finally a ray of hope, a very late ray and a very late glimpse of hope. Pankhuri was coming back.
End of an era. It's guess it's ok because all great things in life come to an end. Because nothing lasts forever. PKDH was going to end sooner or later, I'm sad it's sooner nonetheless I will miss it greatly. I wish the cast all the best of love and luck for their future endeavours! They are clearly a cast of sheer talent and brilliance.
You've changed me forever. And I'll never forget you PKDH. Like a comet pulled from orbit, As it passes a sun.
Like a stream that meets a boulder,
Halfway through the wood. Who can say if I've been changed for the better? So let me say before we part, So much of me, Is made of what I learned from you. You'll be with me, Like a handprint on my heart. And now whatever way our stories end, I know you have re-written mine, By being the best ...
The biggest mistake I made is the one that most of us make while doing this. I did not live in the moment enough. This is particularly clear now that the moment is gone, captured only in the old episodes. There are so many episodes of the beauty that was PKDH. And I wish I could remember what we were, and what we talked about, and how they sounded, and how acted. I wish I had not been in a hurry to get on to the next things. I wish I had treasured the doing a little more and the getting it done a little less.
Nothing is ever really lost to us as long as we remember it...so here's to PKDH the greatest show which came into our lives. Let's never forget this beautiful show and its memories that it's given us to hold onto so deeply and go fly
Whatever maybe their future, whatever they may do I whole-heartedly wish them all the best. Because I'm sure wherever they go in life and whatever they do they will never fail to impress an audience. Entertainment and talent is in their blood. They all will im sure have bright futures ahead of themselves.
Good luck to them as they move onto the next stage in their life. Without a doubt, they will continue to have success in all areas! Though I'm sad to see them go, im excited about the opportunities that they will find in the future. Best of luck to them all as they progress in forward in life
For now with a heavy heart I bid adieu to the wonderful cast and crew of Pyaar ka dard hai Meetha Meetha Pyaara Pyaara. My love and prayers are always with them. Thank you, for this emotional roller-coaster of a ride 2 1/2 years journey.
This is a long goodbye, yet not time enough. I have no aptitude for this. I cannot learn this. I would hold on, and hold on, until my hands clutch at emptiness...
