so here is my email
To whomever it may concern
"Bunch of people" single most derogatory comment issued by this channel. Did you all just refer to us viewers as a bunch of people. Were we just accused for not caring about the jobs of 200 people in question. What are you all trying to prove to us??Has this become a game of power play where the channel is hell bent on proving that it will always have the upper hand??
My first very question to you all HOW DARE YOU??HOW DARE YOU ACCUSE US OF BEING INSENSITIVE IN REGARDS TO THE JOB OF 200 PEOPLE? AND MOST IMPORTANTLY HOW DARE YOU REFER TO US AS BUNCH OF PEOPLE???
Huh insensitive about the jobs of 200 people...say that when you show some sensitivity to over 2000 ardent viewers...what message are you trying to portray through that message..that in the name humanity we should just sit back and watch the crap that you are playing via your channel...the so called 200 jobs would have been long gone if we would have given up on this channel and this show when all the crappy plot lines began and made it into a flop...BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY those 200 jobs would have not happened if we would have rejected this show in the first place and refused to invest our hard earned cash in all this crap...
This is height of obnoxious behaviour by this channel. This comment just lamented what ever hate had erupted in our hearts for this channel. So now we are to believe that it is suddenly unfair on our part to demand for something to work according to majorities choice when we are paying for it fair and square. We should just sit back and accept the ridiculously idiotic storyline BECAUSE if we voice our opinion it is BEING INSENSITIVE.
Well then tuff luck. The more we love and respect you all the more you have taken us for granted. Now that we have accepted that there is no point hoping anything from this pathetic channel, I would like to inform you that it is in you best interest that you to learn to accept that YOUR VIEWERS HAVE A BRAIN AND A VOICE OF THEIR OWN. You can emotionally blackmail and insult all you want but WE ARE DONE BEING DOWNGRADED by this channel and we are done showing our loyalty to this undeserving channel.

LATEST EMAIL
To,
whomever it may concern
I will be very honest here, I am tired of emailing, tweeting and trying to call star plus. Unfortunately calls from Australia do not go through or trust me everyday I would be calling. I have so many questions in my head regarding the integrity of this channel. Regarding the possible fulfillment of the mission statement of the channel. Is not your mission to deliver the best form of entertainment to your viewers? Is not your mission to ensure that you viewers are satisfied with this channel? Is it not part of your mission to ensure that if not all maximum demands of your viewers are met? Then why is it that continuously for I don't know how many years has this channel managed to fail its viewers.
There was a time when us viewers were unaware of our rights and the power we held. We accepted as you continuously butchered our favourite shows and favourite characters right in front of us. It was because we believed back then that there was nothing that we could do. So we remained silent and either gave up on the show or waited for it to end. Every time it is the same story, you start the show on a high note and then seldom end on a high note, rest we do not know how and where their plot leads. Its like it is not entertainment that you care about, rather it is the continuous revenue you gain from it that you are most bothered about. Once the show is a hit you stop bothering as to where it is heading as long as it is providing you the revenue you require.
Why is it so hard for the channel to demand the production house to maintain its standards and plot lines when it comes to a show. It feels like I have done a case study on IPKKND. For the first time us viewers are so hurt and so angry that we have taken it on ourselves to educate everyone about the consumer rights by fighting for this show. Many of you are confusing that this fight is for Barun only but let me clarify more than Barun this fight is from our side to the channel. We have invested 1.6 years of our lives, our time, our emotions and our love on this show. Out of that approximately .6 of the year the plot line was going down the drain. Where and what was the channel doing at that point in time? Why did the channel as the head of the shows step in and demand the PH to be more creative? What sort of a production house runs out of story ideas after just one year of the show? More importantly what kind of a production house at the prime of its show looses almost half of its cast?
If this channel has any researchers and reviewers I sincerely suggest watch the show from its conception to now. A person has to be pronounced with an inactive brain if they cannot see or miss where the show went downhill. The character graph of all the characters is so uneven that it is ridiculous. Characters have undergone complete character assassination. If the PH should be awarded for assembling the best cast, it should also be acknowledged for their incapability of making full use of the talent at hand. Each actor eg Akshay Dogra and Deepali, had so much potential and yet all they were mostly used for was filling in the space. Daljeet, who was meant to be a prominent cast is reduced to just giving gasps, smiles and mostly tears. Sanaya's character that of a beyond age mature girl has been reduced as an OTT comedian in the show and Barun has been the most shrewd business man making the most ridiculous mistakes. Where is the ASR gone?
Where has the main plot of the show gone? What are the creatives doing? Have they all gone on longish breaks with no idea of when they are going to be creative again? Most importantly what has the channel done to maintain the dignity of the show and the characters?
The anger and the frustration in the viewers has been brewing for a long time. The announcement about Barun was the last straw in our patience. We are done trusting and hoping from the channel. We are done being taken for granted. We are done being acknowledged as fools who will watch anything as long as it is on TV. We are done letting you be ignorant about us. Most importantly we are done requesting.
Today we demand not as viewers but as consumers, as payers of this channel. We demand
1) Retain Barun - there is only one ASR and that is Barun Sobti ans WE WILL NOT ACCEPT ANYONE IN HIS PLACE
2) No one else opposite Sanaya for this show - we have invested so much time to watch the love story of Arnav and Khsuhi to unfold. We will not sit back and watch another man come in and romance her in place of Barun/ Arnav. It does not sit right with either our brain or our hearts.
3) Full potential of the entire cast - there is so much talent in the cast and crew of this show, please make full use of them. Bring back the original cast and the original magic.
4) Plot - Please bring the creatives along with their creativity from their long break. I refuse to accept that in a country full of talented people this channel is unable to hire people whi can provide creative ideas for the show.
5) Respect - starting from now respect and understand you viewers. We are more than a money making machine.
We are simple people with simple requests. You fulfill them you will find us happy and satisfied. However we are so a "BUNCH OF PEOPLE" with educated minds. You make us angry and we will show you our worst side.
Have a good day. We are waiting for the good new that you operators have been saying that they will share with us soon. I hope it is before we unsubscribe from the channel for good.
Kind regards
Sargam
