The following piece of information was passed on to me by a fellow Maneetian (I have never met her, but have befriended her on Facebook), who has been visiting Star One offices this week to convince them to continue GHSP on Star Desh:
There is apparently a rift between the GHSP PH and Star One, so much so that Star One thinks that all viewer requests for the continuation of GHSP are paid publicity by the PH. However, Star One is aware of the selling power of Gurti as a lead pair.
Now, I don't know if she was telling the truth, but I do know that the PH has alienated a lot of people from the first writers of the show to the actors and the fans because of their unprofessional behavior. So, it is not implausible that Star One belongs to this list, as well. I don't want to speculate on what this supposed rift between the PH and Star One could amount to, however I do wish to ask any members of the forum that have visited the Star One offices if they felt that Star One was annoyed with the PH.
I also think that when we make calls or visitations to Star One offices, or even when we write on the feedback page of indya.com, star one, or the official GHSP page on Facebook, we should emphasize that we want Gurti on Star Desh. We should stress that Gurti are a brand name with a huge fan following, and that they will be great brand ambassadors for Star Desh. We should not talk about the PH at all.
I hope that this post will not cause unnecessary stress to anyone as I am not putting this up to use this situation for my fifteen minutes of fame. My reason for putting up the post is so that people can use this information to word their requests to Star One in the right way. I hope and pray that GHSP will continue on Star Desh, and that we will not have to bid Maneet adieu after December 16.
Maneetians, let us please continue to fight for the Maneet cause in the weekend, and hope that we will not have to say goodbye to Maneet after next week. Let's us fight and hope for the best!
