One year back, GHSP was on the top. The TRPs were great. The show was perfect!! Everyone used to wait with bated breath for 9.30 so as to watch the show.


One year later, GHSP is going down. The TRPs are falling. The show is shaking. Everyone is saying that the show is shutting shop.


What happened in the last one year that resulted in this?


Earlier, it was Maaneet. It was Gurti. It was GC and DD. Now it is MSK is suffering more or Geet is suffering more. Now it is GC vs DD. Who is a better actor?


All we have to talk about the show is what is wrong. Not what is right. Why can't we be positive about the show? When the show started, it reached epic heights because the makers had a vision in mind. They had a story in mind. They did as they visioned and it was beautiful. We did not have a FB page for Geet. We did not have interviews on SBS or SBS. We did not have any articles about the show. GHSP spoke for itself. It kept the audience hooked with the brilliance never before seen on Indian Television.


Slowly the audience started interfering with the maker's visions giving ideas and their views on the tracks being shown. There was demand for spoilers. There was demand for leads' interviews. There was demand for stories to be changed as per audience demand. And the makers gave into such demands and the show turned out to be "many cooks spoil the broth" kind.


For those who fight about which one of the leads is better, I would like to ask them just one question. Try and imagine the show without one of the leads and then you will know the answer.


For those who are saying that the CVs are themselves killing the show, I would like to ask them one question. GHSP is a cash cow for the PH and the channel. There are hundreds of people who are dependent on the show for their lives. Is the PH stupid to be killing its own show thats generating so much of money. Until the show is on air, everybody talks about the PH. After the show is done, nobody will bother. So why would they commit suicide?


The actors and just acting their parts in the show. They have a personal life aside from the show. How they deal with it is their own choice. None of us have the right to dictate that to them. If we don't like to know what happens in their personal lives, let us not give it the attention. Nobody is forcing it down our throats. Not everybody deals with their relations alike. Some people display their affection publicly. Some of them tend to be private. We cannot comment on how they lead their lives or how they should lead their lives and with whom.


These are actors who spend nearly 16 hours a day trying to give us a show that we so adore. Don't they deserve a bit of respect from us fans? Intruding into their lives on a daily basis can be so suffocating for them. They are humans too with emotions and feelings. Why can't we just understand that?? Just because they come on our TV screens five days a week does not give us a right to dictate terms to them.


Yes, the show has lost its past flavor. There are some characters and some tracks which we are not liking. But as true GHSP fans, we need to support the show. That doesn't mean we take any crap thrown at us. We need to criticize not bash. Constructive criticism is good as long as it does not take the form of bashing or dictating terms. Let us get together as one to stand beside the makers so that the show will reach its past glory.


And for those who think there is nothing new to see in GHSP, maybe its time to look at greener pastures instead of spreading negativity in the forum.


At this point of time, what GC, DD, PH and the creatives need is an united GHSP audience wiling to be patient and give time to fix the issues. And as true GHSP fans, we need to do that with understanding, compassion and hope.


I am sorry if I sound preaching. Just my thoughts.


- Always a GHSP fan

Loved your post
You a great maneetian
the bashing has got us no where except hatred towards the show
Geet was booming even they had not attention
We expect so much from them and the interference is not needed they both are mature and profressional.
I dont think anything is wrong between them, they dont seem like the fighting type and ive never heard someone speak highly of their co actors like their do
we should all stand united and as GHSP fans
we can admire either but that should come in the way of our really identity
we are truly GHSP fans

Totally agree with you... Obsession with personal lives of actors has led us nowhere... How does it matter to us what someone does in their personal life as long as we get good performance in show... Commenting on someone's lifestyle and preferences,making fun of them,bashing,dragging their family, how does it benefit our show in any way? Why this urge to dictate the actors lives and choices according to our expectations? This has brought nothing but fights and negativity to our forum.. It would be better that instead of off screen and personal life discussions, we appreciate the actors for putting their best performances consistently for over a year. We need to give them some respect and space.

@Ash...thanks so much for this post...🤗


All this DD vs GC groupism, Gurti over Maneet is having a negative impact on the show. Many people are getting disillusioned by all this and have stopped watching the show. All this seriously needs to stop. Our focus should be on the show and getting the TRP's back. Because if the show doesn't remain nothing else will matter. We'll have no Maneet, no Gurti nothing. The CV's are doing a good job with the current track. We should give them our feedback regarding it and some constructive criticism if required. Once the show starts doing well everything else will automatically fall in place...😊

Very much needed post .. I just hope all this groupism seriously reduces now because it is only going to result in the destruction of our beloved show!
Thankyou!
