A note to EK and the BT Team

Dear EK and BT Team,

I won't waste your time and get straight to the point - can you invest in a good writing team, at least for YHC?

I don't know what suddenly changed but ever since the end of Ru's MU, the writing has been all over the place and pretty pathetic, to be honest. A truth as central to the storyline, like Ru getting to know Pree is not Saransh's Mom, gets done in one scene but Mahima's attempts to first kill herself and then others takes episodes after episodes, what?! The writing has been on a downhill curve for a while and central characters are getting butchered, left, right, and center.

If it's TRPs you are after, the TRP audience loves a good ensemble and killing off a central YHC character like Balraj Khurana (a better written grey-shaded character portrayed by an awesome actor) when his character progression is far from done is not a sound strategy.

I watched your previous KZK 2.0 on and off and saw how bad writing derailed an entire show, among other things. YHC is nowhere close to that but similar things have started happening here as well. Before things get worse, a sincere request to not try to pull an #AnuNePreKoKyunMara-esque twist here, it would only be the beginning of the end as you should very well know. As someone who has been watching YHC since Feb 2020, seeing this bad writing spoil an entire year's worth of good buildup is pretty heartbreaking. Pree and Ru's journey still have a long way to go and I don't want YHC to suffer a premature end just because the writers were too stubborn to wake up and read the room.

Mind you, I am not saying the writing is bad by GoT/West Wing/Breaking Bad/Gulaal standards, it is bad even by the average ITV standards, and that's quite a low to have achieved for a show that was going so well post-lockdown. I don't have much hope from the current set of YHC writers, they seem to pretty unapologetic about their bad writing and aren't receptive to feedback, so I won't even try to reason with them.

But to the production team, this is your last remaining SP show which has been lucky to gather a loyal set of audience even for a late night slot, and the audience (TRP and online) love RuSha/Abrargun enough to wait for the story to get back on track. So, please don't let all that hard work go to waste and try to hire a better set of writers, pretty please?

Sincerely,

A previously-loyal-but-rapidly-turning-indifferent YHC viewer

Well said.. the writing has gone from bad to worse..no logic whatsoever.. the fact that Rusha know about Saransh's assault and yet are not using it to file a case against Mahima to get back his custody from her, is what is frustrating me the most. I would understand that they need to continue with the fake shadi drama to keep Mahima from leaving with Saransh, IF Saransh's assault hadnt happened. But now that it has and is happening on a daily basis, what is stopping them to go to court, get his custody back and end this fake shadi drama? If they want Mahima as a permanent villain, find some interesting plot! Why make Rusha so clueless and her so invincible? Now she kills Ballu ... Rest of the characters are there for namesake... Ahana, Mishka, Sharda etc have nothing interesting to do..YHC has become a one woman/villain show..

@bold - this bit, so so true! If the current CVs love Mahima so much, invest in her character and make it and the plot believable. Shagun was a much better written character, wahin se kuch ideas le lete.

To think Pree took a gunshot just because Niketan had dared to drug Saransh, and here Saransh is emotionally abused daily, drugged, hit with a belt, and getting burned with coal and Pree and Ru stay clueless and don't even file a court case against someone who has had a criminal track record and has just been given custody on a trial basis for six months - what have they done to the characters?! Cant believe YHM was YHC's parent show! 🤬

Me too! Can't believe they are resorting to cheap tricks like killing Ballu off when (a) there is so much character progression left for him, and (b) there are already so many plot threads open which the writers haven't even begun to address yet like Saransh's abuse, his custody, Lohri night, etc. Each of them can be a full-blown good track, but no, the writers refuse to tackle any of them.

I am sure it's not the actor, it's most likely a so-called "creative call" like Ash S mentioned, for which the current set of CVs are sidelining every character and track for god-knows-what. Stupidity and illogicalness ki bhi had hoti hai.

My guess is that the current writers (Dhruv and Rhimzhim) don't know how to write tracks after the initial attraction/falling-in-love phase of the leads, and hence the currently ongoing crap-fest. Please, EK and BT, put them on a project which has the leads in the falling-in-love phase so that they can play to their forte. And get us new writers who can write good tracks after the leads fall in love so that our show doesn't get destroyed beyond repair!

Btw, Aisha, congrats on the IF promotion!! 🤗

Knowing how YHC likes to roll, I wouldn't keep my hopes up for exit videos/BTS. But most likely, Ballu's character is going since Mallika (the actor playing Sharda) voted on a poll stating that.

Can't imagine YHC without Ballu frankly. For some reason, I like the Khurana characters more than the Srinivasans. I probably wouldn't have minded if they killed Vasu/GPS because frankly, their characters don't do anything anyway. And why should Ru keep losing his family? First Rajeev, now Ballu. Ballu ka redemption bhi toh karna tha. Waise bhi, redemption tracks for supporting characters tend to bring higher TRPs than murder tracks. 😔

The fact that it's not even been a year (if you exclude the Covid break) and the writers are already out of ideas for tracks and don't know how to develop the leads further doesn't bode well for the future of the show. EK and BT, please get at least the YHM writers to YHC!

And if these CVs had to, had to kill Ballu off, then they should have focused on building his bonding with Saransh, making it right with Ru and Sharda, apologizing to Pree and accepting her as his daughter and the best person for Ru so that when he finally dies, the audience feels it more and the TRP shoots up, like it happened for Naira and YRKKH. Instead the writers just gave Akka, akka, and more akka. As a result, even with this so-called twist, TRP will probably remain the same. Not a beneficial trade-off imo.

Writers, if you are not loyal to the TRPs and neither to the storyline, who are you writing for? 😡

If ballu is dead thn defo trp wont be going up fr a while exactly thy hvnt build tht bond with all the characters so why r thy killing him off it dnt mke sense to me ... killing him rght nw was a dumb idea I still hope it's some plan

Yes malika voting it's a bit worrying but hopefully we shuld get some news nd hints by next week but if balraj character is dead m hna find it hrd watching thyz show it wont be the sme 4 me Even for rusha

Well said.. Can someone send it to the CVs & PH on insta or Twitter? I'm not sure whether they will take feedback but no harm in trying..

I can't believe it's the same set of writers & CVs who gave us some amazing episodes who are writing this trash now..

Mahima track handling was completely pathetic.. on top of that killing Ballu & bringing imposter etc is the worst twist for the show at this point.. Already this show has much lesser OG characters/ family members as compared to other Ek shows / YHM.. So there was less scope of good family scenes.. now Ballu is gone, it's spoiled more..

I don't know why people are excited for imposter, like they have no experience of ITV😆 it's going to be another pathetic track.. as much as I would love to see Abrar in double role, Now is not the time.. Once imposter Rudra comes, the SS of Rusha or Rusharansh will reduce considerably & we will get more of Mahima - imposter Ru scenes.. it's just another ploy of writers to give more SS to Mahima & a track to show Mahima bahoot khatarnak hai🤢 or else to show a love angle of M & fake Ru BC he already slept with her🤢 I don't want to see Abrar romancing this woman again ( not atleast in this show).. one scene itself caused enough trauma forever🤮🤮🤮

3 villains (M, Yuv & imposter) Vs a dumb FL, a useless family & a helpless or missing ML is a pathetic storyline... Im not at all looking forward.. I was excited thinking maybe they are closing M track with Ballu's death.. but if they are opening up a new imposter track by retaining Mahima, I have nothing to say.. even Abrargun won't be able to save this show..
