More on Dill Mill Gayye: Discuss here | Watch full episodes | Official Website | Petition : Armaan or Siddhant?
WE, at STAR One, launched an online petition two weeks ago asking you who Dr Riddhima should choose as her life partner. We wanted to understand what you felt about Riddhima's decision. The response was enormous!
Over TWO LAKH Dill Mill Gayye (DMG) fans participated in the WHO DESERVES RIDDHIMA? Campaign. All of you were unanimous in your response. And we thank you!
We've also heard your feedback along the way. Some of the response and comments that caught our eye across our forums, Facebook pages and user comments from starone.in!
Ruhi: "Make DMG different from the daily irritating saas-bahu soaps!"
on Wednesday, May 12, 2010, via starone.in comments
"I have been watching Sanjeevani and DMG since it started. Have been a big fan of Armaan and Ridhima storyline. I stopped watching DMG after that shootout episode happened. Again started watching when Armaan and Ridhima came back. I have been watching it with the hope that Armaan and Ridhima will unite finally. But now I can see where the storyline is going. Please don't destroy DMG by Sid and Ridhima getting together. DMG is all about Ridhima and Armaan and has always been. So make it different from the daily irritating Saas-bahu soaps. Unite Armaan and Ridhima. They are made for each other. They make us believe in love. Don't stretch this sacrifice drama anymore. Please…make Ridzi realize that she loves Armaan."
monaR: "Second chance exists!"

"What I like best about Sid-Ridhima is their moving on in life, and I want them to show every one out there that second chance exists in life, life is beautiful."
ON Tuesday, May 11, our episode showed Riddhima deciding to give her marriage a real chance. Riddhima's decision seems to have upset many of you, Armaan-Riddhima supporters! On the other hand it has been welcomed by the Siddhant-Riddhima fans.
Here's a glimpse of the comments we got.
Nikhila: "Armaan should leave Ridzy!"
on Riddhima won't break her marriage in DMG
"I hate you Riddhima....Agar tumhe Armaan ko bhulana hi tha tho use tab bata deti jab voh tumhare liye vapas aaya tha.....ab itna natak karne ke baad I feel ki Armaan should leave Ridzy, Armaan deserves much better girls than Riddhima.....I hate the directors for causing the AR breakup.... After watching the serial for so many months what we get to see is this... I m afraid if it continues like this in all other serials too everyone will stop watching. STAR One."
Parizad: Smart move by DMG team!
on Riddhima won't break her marriage in DMG
"This is a very smart move after a long time done by the Creative Team of DMG. For a change they are showing what's right and not what popular. Because once you start showing what is right, popularity will increase automatically and you will get a new crop of fans. See it this way, fresh story line comes with fresh number of fans! Many boycotted when Shilpa left but the show is still going on and that was two years ago! I hope they respect marriage and they show how love can grow when both the partners respect each other."
Mariam Butt: Both Armaan-Riddhima will shed tears!
via DMG Petition
"Riddhima only loves Armaan she just wants to you know woh sirf apni shaadi nibhaana chaati hai, but on other hand she loves Arman and what's the point of staying with someone else who you don't love. You will just give each others tears."
MAriam: "Reunite AR!"
"Marriage without love is baseless. If Rids fall on Sid then it will be betray of true love. Then it will be a bad massage to youth that there is nothing called love. If she agree with her father then it will tell us that women have no right to decide her decision. So for your god sake reunite AR."
The Sid-Riddhima camp is thrilled with Riddhima's decision, saying, "Dont worry fans of AR... I am sure that DMG team will find a much better girl for Armaan, and if you fans are still angry with her decision THEN JUST IMAGINE YOURSELF IN HER PLACE AND THINK WHAT YOU WUD HAVE DONE..."
Applauding the makers, many of you have said "Once you start showing what is right, popularity will increase automatically and u will get a new crop of fans. See it this way, fresh story line comes with fresh number of fans!"
The support and passion with which the audience have voiced opinions is incredible. We are truly overwhelmed and touched at your support.
The creative team is now going through all your feedback and comments. The story is not over! Like they say in the movies, "Picture abhi baki hai!" Keep watching your favourite Dill Mill Gayye, Monday to Friday 8 pm on STAR One!
