I totally agree Mr Hegde.. that we should be serious about other things like issues addressed in satyameva jayate.. if they had done a serious job about it..but I will leave that ranting to Mr.Khan.

My point with you why do u not have a creditable parallel track.. u seriously thought 9 year old girl creating misunderstanding among the second leads will lure mature audience from the trp leader which is focussing on an important track like remarriage of the daughter in law..

your core audience are romance junkies who like watching the show.. why could u not create a more believable parallel track on a separate lead..

I love arhi and u have done a excellent job on the arhi track better than any other romance track currently on tv..that is why core audience feel for this show.. but u have sadly butchered all other characters..save for mamiji..and shyam..

most notably anjali there was a lot of scope on her role she is just reduced to giving juice to arhi... and giggling...

if the amount of dialogues and screen time u gave to payash babli had been given to anjali/ nani and created a track like anjali having some issues ..like the baby not growing properly seeing a doctor.. any frivolous track..would have given a lot more mature audience..similarly anjali feeling insecure about her role in her brothers life.. shyam creating misunderstanding.. anjali resenting khushi position in family all these are twists arent they.. and they attract audience..more than kamlesh khabri track...

similarly buaji ,garima and babuji are fine actors they should not be brought on and off they should have been uitilised a lot more..

earlier there some religious like teej , janmastami, diwali which were done beautifully in ipk sadly all these are not shown anymore. Devi maiya which was such a cute and core part of khushi has just vanished from khushis life were all this for lavanyas benefit..

mamaji was anyday more entertaining than masala mama.. mama mami romance is a lot more entertaining and sweet than the breakfast/ iron romance of payaash...

i understand that some of your characters have other roles why wont they since u use them sporadically they need to earn their crust...but rather than having new entries u can have new actors playing the role..

mamaji babuji roles can be played by new actors...

ooh and seeing payaash on screen 🤢that is the time i seriuosly switch to watching child bride on rival channel..I cringe...🤢

similarly for UP based raizada family the devar calling his elder brother's wife khushi is jarrring absolutely jarring take it from a UP based family..

its ok in bombay ,delhi maybe but a family which makes a wife call her husband arnavji,,

and there sons bitua babua.. will never allow the devar akash to call his saali khushiji she has to be bhabhi.. no 2 ways about.. please rectify that mistake..

As if there weren't enough posts already to discuss this. 😆 but trust me, this is of the very few positive ones..

But i must tell you, i first read Gautiji's message on FB, then realized a storm must have cooked up on IF already and logged in to see just that. So, this is my initial reaction formed to Gautamji's message. 😊

also must tell you i am a part of the 'Gauti gotta give' team and yet found his message compelling.

What Gautamji must have seen :

he said 9 posts about the actor, 1 post about CVs so i assume its only IF he talked about.

posts like :

1. ASR was so mean, Barun was just brilliant. So, the CVs need to buckle up and justify the actor.
2. Khushi is 18? she looked like 9! what the heck are CVs doing??
3. amazing episode!! Barun Sanaya rockeddd, but the script was okay. The actors justify the lack luster script.. i hope they are given better scripts.. they are so amazing.

which was actually what was posted on IF! But not what all was posted on IF. It is very easy to skip the few critique posts which speak good about the episode. Cause IF is that way - a variety of people with a more variety of opinions to offer.

for one, i so wish he did not come over to IF to see this. I wish he also read the positive points we rarely had to say.



What Gautamji must have thought.

We put in so much effort, the entire team, the entire Production house puts in efforts... if an episode clicked, it is because of the dialogues, the scripts, the background scores, the actors and the director. But only the actors are appreciated. When an episode goes bad, everyone of the above was bad/okay or the circumstances din't just click in. But only The CVs were bad. blah and blah.

/Bipolarity.



What Gautamji has written

http://www.facebook.com/ipkkndfp



What i think happened

He saw, he believed. He said, he vented 😆




Why i think Gautamji is justified

It isin't like only we should get a chance to express our disappointment. So should he. We may like his vent, or we may not, doesn't mean he is wrong. just means we are different.

and trust me again, i don't think e is naive to think that we are all ArHi obsessed morons. Sadly, That's the image we portray. I am sure he does not think the same about an offline audience.



The part i Loved

You may feel why is this guy ranting so much. Why is he getting senti? Then, well, let me tell you if you are not senti as a person, you cannot be a creative person. I am attached to the show and take it seriously. So does the rest of my team.

^^ always good to know you are equally attached to the show as we are 😉




What i would like to say to him

1. There is more to IF than you think. 😉 Look deeply and you'll find. (we're just like the symbolisms of the show)

2. You have given us a great show and and even greater cast to drool over. i just hope IPKKND reaches the heights we think it should. Trust us half the things (good or bad) we say are out of immense love for the show.

3. We understand that writing a show for 22 minutes a day five days of the week with consistencies isin't the easiest thing to do. But all we ask for is some good 6 minutes which will make up for the 18 bad minutes. 😃

4. Its great you realize, Star One and Star Plus are not the same and cater to different set of audience.. That surely means you'll have to try harder to impress the adults watching this show. They don't just shut up on romance. They want MEANING to the romance. (its they cause i was your YO SO follower.)

4.i am a sucker for the Background scores of the show. Give me some good ones, and yo! i shut up 😆

5. Thanks for responding and making us feel like we are heard. i sure hope we are!



Lastly i am not supporting him or supporting us in anyway. i just thought this is what happened and we are reading a tad too much into his non-existent meanings.
