I think it's safe to say that anyone who made their way towards this forum after watching the show has been from mildly to severely obsessed with this show.
I made my way to India-forums a week after I finished binge watching the first 140 episodes. The standing point for me was the relationship of Twinkle and Kunj. The first ever scene I watched of TEI while walking through the family TV room was of Twinkle repeating about her excitement of getting a baby sister to Kunj after her parent's wedding. I loved the energy and the innocent of the scene and what I loved more was how patiently the person sitting opposite replied back. I sneezed they were more then best friends but didn't realize that the ace was between a husband and wife. The innocence, the purity and a very healthy dynamic between the leads had my attention to the extent that I went on google the show and got carried away to the extent that I probably shouldn't have been ever.
Twinkle and Kunj have been the main source of attraction and there ability to stand by each other despite agreements became an awe worthy part of the story.
TEI was the second show I followed after IPKKND. That show had it's own story of having premature ending. While I appreciate the real people behind the characters, the reel characters became everything for me because of how amazingly well written they are and because those reel characters are the people we were all exposed to.
At this point, I just want to thank everyone who read my analyses post. If the production chooses to replace Sidhant, the story will follow up in the same route as I had explained. Putting this out here in-case anyone is strong enough to follow the show after June 1st.
Teddy, Nemo, Karen, Lavanya have been regular readers of my lengthy posts and I really cannot thank you guys enough for validating my posts and encouraging an insightful discussion. You guys are literally the most amazing people i've had the pleasure of knowing.
I want to thank Jerry and Ragini for graciously making me feel welcome in this forum. I didn't had good memories from the last time I was on the for which was when IPKKND ended and those bad memories were replaced over here.
Teddy, thank you for being the best fan-girling queen. You literally made me enjoy the show beyond story telling and execution of tracks.
Nemo, Shakti, Natasha, Inayah; I've read you guys' fan fictions despite being short on time and I can only request you to never stop writing because you guys immortalized the couple we were introduced to and exposed to through your writings.
Hriddey bhai, thank you for choosing me as member of the week. That was a real honor that I can never forget.
Every other member that i've interacted with and not mentioned here, I am sorry. You all made my three months on this forum really well-worthy because after real life responsibilities, this place turned into a great escape.
What has happened with the show, shouldn't have happened. I really wish that the channel and production had paid attention earlier on. In majority of the kind of instances in Indian television industry, I have noticed that the viewer and audience is overlooked. I really hope the India industry changes it's ways and remembers that they have a duty to creativity and story-telling as well besides commercializing on it.
For me, I have been terribly hurt and disappointed. I won't be analyzing the show anymore but I will watch till Sidhant will continue to portray Kunj. It has been terribly hard for me to return to the forum but now that I have, I will continue with the fan-fictions I had written out before. Besides that, won't be very much engaging and active.
For the cast and crew of the show, i wish them the very best. Whoever replaces Sidhant would be someone with a lot of guts and I wish them the very best. Hardwork doesn't go to waste and I'm sure at one point, TEI will again get a new set of viewers to replace half of us however the hurt and disappointment given to us through them is also irreplaceable. We deserved a complete love story that we signed up for and stuck by.
Thank you everyone once again!
