First of I would like to sincerely thank Gul and her team for giving us IPK and ARHI. She had a wonderful vision that was translated on screen by her very talented team👍🏼

I just read your latest phone interview with Viraf! Why can't Gul find a reporter to talk to directly? What's with all these conversations with her actors and potential actors😕. However few things that stood out in the tete-e-tete:

1) One of Gul's first interviews post IPK closure other than the chai session with our dear Sanaya; and not a word about the show that gave her so much popularity. Many people were upset with Barun and Sanaya for not wanting to talk repeatedly about IPK post its closure. I guess this will help them move on especially since the Creative Head who was so passionate about continuing it by completely killing the essence of the story has truly moved on as well.

2) Thank you for mentioning that you too would like to venture into Bollywood and are infact already working on a script. Does not make you unprofessional does it; since you are working on a script along side your new baby QH. Good luck with that!

3) Finally you too are now talking about the importance of better budgets and seasons in Indian TV. Finally more and more people are opening up about the facelift that Indian TV really does need.

4) Finally I wish you luck with QH; My hopes for the top show in the next 6 months lie with ChanChann but I do hope QH does well; esp. since the lead is already looking unkept, worn out and haggard just 4 months into the show.

Well my 2 cents

- No mention of IPK or its influence. Well good for her. Obviously IPK was not her baby or else 'the story wouldn't have run course'

- When IPK was being directed the leads never had decent costumes, hell they had only one room which served as Arnav-Khushi's room as well as Shyam-Anjali's room. And Khushi had repeated so many costumes and Arnav had only 2 suits. And no outdoor shoots. And now Gul comes back saying TV's need better budgets. Well at least she woke up now.

- And she is all okay to do a bollywood film but hell her leads can't venture out to do different things. Thanks for the clarification.

- And for the bashers of Barun who are still bashing him for not mentioning IPK after a dozen interviews, hell I don't see the creative mentioning it in her 2nd interview after the closure. So it is okay if the creative moves on but wrong if Barun or Sanaya move on.

And lastly but not least I do hope Chanchan topples QH at the TRP charts. Sanaya at last got a PH which is doing great job by giving her decent costumes and is promoting her well. The costumes that Sanaya got are way prettier than this PH ever could provide to her. And the promotion of Sanaya is awesome with billboards and TV segments. This PH could never promote and forget that never acknowledge the work their leads have done for IPK. So I would definitely want Chanchan to top the TRPs and hope it will.

To be fair with Gul this interview was taken by Viraf as he was the editor of the week at Tellychakkar and he has to take interviews of his friends/acquaintance.

One accepts this or not the how much credit Barun has given to his team no one has given so much everyone talks "I did this..i did that..":,number of times he has mentioned about his team(be it director,actor,producer) no one from IPK has done.
I will always have disappointment towards Gul for disclosing Barun's leave through an informer.It was the root of everything and she was the one who allowed this dirty game to start in virtual forums.

Thank you Gul khan for not mentioning IPK and actors at all in your interview, show that made you.
I guess that doesn't make you unprofessional and wanting to move on to bigger things.
Wish you all the best and hope you don't rinse, repeat and rinse.

Yes the leaking of the news was the MOST unprofessional thing to do especially since the journalist herself mentioned that Barun was under contract to not say anything which is why he kept quiet. Anyways i could not be happier that Barun and Sanaya have moved on and away from such a "professional" bunch of people.

Well Aliya,

Gul Khan is a romantic director par excellence. No doubt about that. But truth to be told, call a spade a spade, she is certainly NOT an index of professionalism as she herself proved otherwise and touched pinnacles of unprofessionalism when she leaked the info of Barun's notice to an outsider and then the public slogans of "story ran its course". She NOT talking doesn't mean that it is the right thing to do and should/ could be followed by others! And she not mentioning a word about IPK here which was constantly in top 5 / 10 TRP shows most of the times and set a global new trend in international fame of any TV show , was any way expected the way she treated her "baby" when it was hale and healthy! IPK is .. rather was... this mighty Titanic sunk by one too many.. and each one had their own role! No one in the team seem to have loved it the way fans did!

To be fair to 4Lions ... They were never the financial producer of the show ... They were only the creative producer.

No one will blame her as she is the one who created IPK, so if she mentions its name or not is not an issue here. Other people should say only abt IPK whenever an interview is taken of them, be it when they are talking about their upcoming projects or an interview based on some other things.

As nisha said barun had only given credits to the team saying nothing can be taken away from them and he just did what was written.

Will anyone call Gul unprofessional as she is planning to move to BW and at the same time she is doing a show also, i didn't remember the fact, BS is the only unprofessional one in the whole universe as he tried to branch out.
