For your own sake, release the actors.

Hi there,

What I am going to say here may sound rather harsh , insensitive and cold but its important and just a small effort to stop fans from hurting their own feelings , hurting each-other and believing in things and people who are not even real.

What drew you all to PKYEK or for that matter what draws your more to any book or any show? THE CHARACTERS. Each fan here has loved Abhay , Piya, Misha, Kabir, Pancchi, Sid, Raichands , Ruhi, Angad. The fictitious characters they meet everyday for 22 minutes . Vivian, Sukirti , Priya, Vishaal, Siddhant, Vahbizz – they all come much later. In the language of art & culture , they are just 'artists' who give flesh and blood to characters that are bigger than them . They are employees doing a 9am to 10pm job or a 2am to 2pm job on a salary. All these bunch of people have no connection to you –infact , if you look at the overall picture , they don't even exist for you – they are not a part of your real life.

The only connection that these actors have to us is through the CHARACTERS they play. Their job is to entertain you , look good, act good, take the pay cheque and just go home. Fandom is just an additional perk of this show business. We, as an audience , have a connection to what is real to us – the characters we fall in love with – often mixing the reel sweetheart with the fallible human-being playing it.

We crossover from the character to the actor who is just a regular guy/girl doing their job . And in most of the cases , they disappoint the fandom by falling short of the standards that the fandom has set for them. Even more disappointing , is often the harsh reality that your 'star' is perhaps , merely stardust. But we don't see their faults – we don't believe their faults – we find comfort in the delusion that the actor really is as larger-than-life as the character he/she portrays. The fact is – THEY ARE NOT.

You want to be a fan? Please, be. But not of the actor who becomes another person as soon as the camera rolls and the director says 'action'. It's the character you love and for you – THE CHARACTER IS THE ONLY REAL THING. Rest is neither your world nor your business.

Don't feel bad when the actors you love let you down and turn out to be lesser heroes or even lesser human beings . Don't fall in love with them just because they look adorable, give great interviews and tell you how much they love you. Don't judge them when they look like dwarfs in comparison to the larger-than-life characters they portray. Don't hate them when they are totally different people in the dark. If you want to do anything , applaud their skill as an ARTIST. That's it and that is how it is meant to be.

It doesn't matter to your existence how viscose Vivian's romantic history is or what kind of a human being he is. It makes no difference to the show that you love whether the cast members hang out together or not. It is none of your concern why Vishal and Tabrez only 'visit' the show. How should it bother you how Vahbiz handles her relationships or her life? Your life is too important to waste playing tic-tac-toe thinking what Vivian and Sukirti's equation is. You have better things to do than wonder about why the cast doesn't get any pictures clicked together anymore. Its not for you to think that why is Priya Wal staying in a show where her talent is being wasted. You should just shrug it off with a 'Siddhant' grin.

I just request you to avoid actor-posts , avoid camping for these artists and not hurt the REAL each-other for them. This forum, the friendships that you have , the laughter that you share , the thoughts you exchange are a million times more REAL than all these Vivians, Sukirtis , Vahbizzs and Siddhants.

You are each-other's HEROES, not these artists who are not a part of your circle of life. If you were to switch off your TV, they are nobodies in your life. It's the character that has made you love them. You know the actors only as good as those 10-15 minutes that you see them everyday.

If it was possible, I would say that we should just stop discussing artists on the forum and stop giving them all the footage and weight age that fandom gives . But that is neither possible nor justified , so I can only ask everyone to exercise restraint.

Don't ruin the friendship and affection you have for people who exist because the TV in your house exists.

My intention was not to hurt anyone and if the development team finds this post inflammatory , they can close it anytime.And no, I have no apology to make for having written this post.

Love and luck always,❤️

GOD bless everyone.🤗

Well said! Thank God I am not a fan of any actor or Show (except with an exception of Aamir Khan of course...I love him for being a Perfectionist, a Quality I crave to cultivate in me). I really feel bad when I see people being crazy over fictional characters and think them as real. I also hate it when I see Fans wanting the lead pair to date/marry and throw stones of abuse at the Actor/Actress when they see otherwise. What an Actor/Actress does in his/her personal life is his Business and fans have no right to interfere in that.

wow!!! 😊 Very Nice Post!

I completely agree with you on this!

After reading what u have written, I myself felt that I also tend to think of TV characters more as reality than fiction...

When I was writing my post, I felt to take out my frustration on not being able to see solo interviews of Vivian...but u made my day...u r so right on ur opinions...and personally I do not even think about any one these characters' personal life is our business...like u mentioned, just watch and be entertained..other than that don't think about it too much..


By the way, I have always read your and mages analysis regarding the episodes and would like to tell you that u guys r doing such an amazing job...👏

Thanks Annie. Fandom belongs to characters because that is what gives fame and recognition to actors. Actors are just doing their job and we have nothing to with them except applauding them for their work. 😊

Dear Poco, wow. Poco. This is exactly what I wanted to say. Actors are just Actors. They just are there to do their job, and entertain job. I really wish vivian's personal life topic would not come on the forum. There is always topic floating around them.Personally now, I don't give a shit about what goes behind the offscreen of pyek. Now days, I keep a bounday being a fan of any actor or actress. The only things is that Fans connect to their fav actors. The only wish from Media was I wish they would give us more coverage on the show instead of actor's personal life. This is a forum to discuss the show, not anybody personal life. I wish it would be like that. Suku, and vivian all are there to do their job. if you don't pay them enough, they will leave the show, and when the show is over there is no more abhiya for them. if there is no check for them , the show does not matter to them. it just to give them fame. it's just hard some people u have to understand they end up connecting actors with on personal life. i think people should draw an imaginary life to keep themselves from happenig this. bec, if their actors who they looked up , they discover is not what they seem it can be a lot to taken it. My concern is just for the show, not actors personal life. Remember the Chris Brown, and Rihanna incident. I used to admire Chris Brown, and had thought of so higly of him. I thought he was diff. but, later to find out what he did to Rihanna. Since then, I have drawn by boundaries being a fan, and thought about it before seeing any celebrity as my ido.
bye poco, this will be last post before i fly off to Paris, and will be absent for the whole summer. love u. god bless u. wish u all the happiness. 🤗

Thank you so much, Puja. I will end up upsetting many fans but i just wanted to state the facts. I don't want this 'make-believe' world to ruin 'a real forum' and 'real friendships'. And am grateful that you like my work. 😃

poco it was not at all harsh as u kept all truth over here...and in the show we are bound to love characters with whom cvs consider as there toys and play with them when they like... and sometimes they play in the character and sometimes these people only come out of there character and play different character in my language i will call it as character ki khichdi...
and we need to understand dat they have there own life and perspeactive and we should not give dem so much importance dat dey affect our relationships with each other but they also need to keep there personal things under caps... and for me acting matters and as per that they are doin gr8 job bt mixing reel life and real life will not work...
nice post poco and suggestion taken from ur post😊

Thanks Syria. True that. We have no concern with the actors once the camera is off. Just let them be and concentrate on the important things in life that are going to matter in the long run. 😊
