GROW UP GAUTAM HEGDE. Really.

I can't believe the things the creative of this show is saying to the fans/audience. Yes, people write awful things, it is always accepted and ignored when it is too much in the business of consumer art. You don't tell people to go watch something else or refer to them as these people or laugh at them and call them auntiji in a derogatory manner. Talk about burning bridges. Have they never heard of PR? Yes, Hegde, you DO need to prove your professionalism to your audience when you make money off of their interest in your show and ironically describe yourself as a professional on Twitter's subheading. Don't believe it? Wait till you offend one of the anonymous little girls whose mom or dad owns the TV channels. This is real and it happens.

Soap writing is not classical writing, where you don't have to care about your audience. A daily show runs dependent on people's reactions to it via TRPs. You don't just randomly tell one rude fan to go watch something else. It is a huge turn-off to all the viewers. The overworked creatives think that they are the only ones with a hard job. There are plenty of people in the TV business working equal hours and still plenty more who do much more. Believe me, it really isn't the hardest job in the world. Who does he think he is? Is this post "IF bashing" as he so eloquently put it? I thought bashing was a word limited to the the tween (pre-teen) fans here, guess we need to add him to the list.

Being a writer is no excuse for being caustic or arrogant. He sold off his last whine-y PR disaster of a letter for being creative and emotional and now he's on Twitter arguing with little girls like a 6 year old (sorry 6 year olds). I have known many a big writer who did just fine without abusing his/her audience. No, I am not sorry to be rude. If you take the license to be rude just because you are a writer, I take the license to be rude because I am the consumer and a writer.

All this negativity is ruining the impression of a good show that they have clearly worked hard at. Grow up and realize that not everyone will fawn over you for managing to write a good soap opera or three or even saving the world. If you can't deal with negativity, get off Twitter or use it with a pseudonym. Clearly you want the attention, or else why be minimally famous and use your own name to talk to the IPKKND fans?

GH has lost it...but he did have a point that it is infact his serial,his baby and why the hell will he ruin it...we viewers are somehow so immersed into ipkknd that we are never satisfied craving for more and more arshi scenes...no doubt the magic the duo create onscreen is irresistible!

Today was my first time on Twitter ever! I borrowed an account to view what this guy wrote. First things first -- this guy sent something like 500+ messages all on the date of 15th of July! I dont know if he got any work accomplished on the 15th!

i was bit surprise yesterday, i dont follow them at social site but i read here , it was a surprise that he became so rude.

Mary, PR was never his strong suit. The least he can do is mention in his twitter profile that his tweets are his own and not those of his PH 😕. Being in the public forum, he needs to be able to accept the bouquets and ignore the brickbats.

Mary apt post

If he is adamant to reply to each and every tweet and read each tweet he will have to pay for it. If he is sure of his character that he looses cool reading all that then to why to give reply . Its better to keep mum coz he clearly knows how varied the audiences are. I expected some maturity from hi coz he is the industry for so many years, Its better to keep mum and deliver though your work. You can't satisfy every fan and you cant convince every fan. So silence is golden.

obviously I missed all the drama. I have no idea which tweet this is. and will now hot foot to see the action but I do have to agree that lots of viewers are in fact incredibly rude and the behaviour needs to be improved both ways. I have seen plenty of people who have been criticising everything for 6 months at a stretch and at that point, I am scratching my head going why are you watching this anyway if you dislike it so much.
