If they end Jassi in the way they have described it in this article then sony is telling the world that evil people always get what they wanted ( CJ and Malika ) . That is the most horible ending for the soap that I have ever heard of . Thank god I stoped watching this serial . Why can the writers and directors be more creative . They have to realise that they touch so many peoples hearts when they show something and many people watch TV and movies to get aways from reality and live in a fantasy world for sometime .

I am deeply dissappointed with the current story line of this serial. The directors have really gone too far and butchered a nice adaptation of a colombian tv serial story to boost their TRP ratings.If their excuse is the indian viewers, the story does'nt reflect any indian cultural values what so ever and is very confusing.My request for the directors is, please do not under estimate the viewers and take them for granted.

Mr.Tarun Katyal...i think u are under the wrong impression that we watch your crappy show for jassi and her mahaantha,we watched the show for 2 years to see two people madly in love get united in marriage (arman and jassi) ,but you have ruined that too and now you come here and give an interview and a letter stating that arman was not worth it and thats why Miss.goody shoes left....pls stop fooling the viewers and take a look at what we actually want.Hello, arman wwas absolutely right in what he did ,marriage is a two way relatonship ,jassi cant expect everyone to fall at her feet all the time...if she didnt know what arman was talking abt,she could have asked him ..she could have told him clearly the rtuth ,all arman did was ask her the truth,doesnt he have that much right over his fiancee ,and you tell us that he is at fault,give us a BREAK and stop giving excuses.You have done the damage and now pay for ur mistakes,no one wil watch JJKN NOW with ur mahaatma jassi and her school teacher act ...and dont even think that we will forgive jassi and the makers and the channel for what they did ..we will never ever forgive you and stop blaming Arman for everything...we all stand by him and his love for jassi...its jassi we are ashamed of..running away on her wedding day without informing anyone and leting her parents bear the insult of the society ...shame on you jassi and SHAME ON YOU TARUN KATYAL FOR FOOLING THE VIEWERS AND YOU HAVE THE NERVES TO SAY THAT ARMAN WAS NOT WORTH IT...GO TO HELL

Is this a joke? I can't even say anything that anyone has not said before. All we wanted was a wedding. Please don't come back to us and offer any sort of explanation or justification of why Jassi ran away. We know your target population those who are undereducated because they are the ones you might be able to fool, but not the rest of us. There is a saying...you can fool some of the people some of the time...you can fool all the people some of the time...but you can't fool all the people all of the time. Go ahead with your story line but you will loose all the support of an intelligent group of people.

Well.... Let me tell you something!! :-- YOU HAVE LOST IT!!! You have insulted enough people during your rubbish show.(from zhaasi ki raani, middleclass girls... to whole India.. not to mention original BLF writer!! ) There is only ONE option left for you: Get to your knees and APPOLOGISE!!!

Ok this is CRAP! In simple words this drama is doomed. Its going to the DOGS literally......All this crap about jassi becoming a teacher and stuff is SUCH GARBAGE. Which viewer in this day and age will wait and watch the massacare of a drama that once used to keep the audiences glued to their tvs. Tony and Diya are the only people i can blame, just like Ekta has to bear the brunt of her butchered serials. There is still time Mona and Apurva..QUIT while you can.....Coz this is BULLSHIT!!!!

Well, i must say that was the most backfiring twist that has ever been made in any drama.Sony channel and creative heads of JJKN drama,do not live under the illusion that deglamourising jassi is what appeals to the viewers. And regarding taking jassi's character back to her roots, the entire concept sounds very hilarious, because, first of all, jassi had never ever been a fighter. She has been an escapist through and through. Then what praiseworthy trait in her character are they talking about.But i must say that the channel is absolutely right about one thing, disgruntled viewers after friday's wedding fiasco. If the wedding was never meant to happen, then what was the point in the sky-high promos,celebrities gushing about the impending armaan-jassi wedding et al.,Viewers feel so let down and are currently riding on a huge wave of disappointment verging on frustration. Now, the reason given for the 'runaway bride jassi' is that she has realised that she had been treated as a doormat by armaan and the likes. Her confrontation with armaan on the day of her wedding, was the final straw. So, this is the way jassi handles any problem in her life, run away from the scene of trouble, leaving the society heap insults on her old parents and family members.. That is so selfish.. whatever reasons she may give as justifications for her decision, it is just no excuse for what she had done. She was, is, and always will be a spineless escapist.PERIOD. And, what middle-class principles and ideals is the drama trying to portray? If any misunderstanding arises in a relationship, never give it a second chance, refuse to listen and understand, never forgive and forget..????Well, i would like to contradict here. This is absolutely not the way to strengthen a relationship.On the other hand, communication is an essential factor for clearing all misunderstandings.Seems like the channel has a very distorted opinion of love in general and relationship in particular. I agree that Armaan had not been very clear in expressing himself but i think it is human. Afterall, he had seen something which is very damaging and distressing. Please, give him a break. He had gone through a huge makeover in his character, from the flirtatious playboy to the sensitive human, and not to a saint ok?. It is human to commit mistakes, and i really pity the character armaan suri. He is being made a scapegoat just to show jassi in a better light. Now, that is very unfair. His reactions were very normal, human to be more precise.. Numerous viewers had been too eagerly waiting for a frustrating 3 years just to witness the wedding of characters armaan and jassi.And now, this is what is being forced down our throats. Armaan weds Mallika-RIDICULOUS. Very depressing.. Now there is nothing left to hope for,nothing at all. The drama has ended for me the day armaan applied sindoor in jassi's maang. To me armaan-jassi wedding got over that day, and so did the drama. Thank You, An erstwhile JJKN viewer

So in other words...the purpose of the show was to show that people shouldn't waste their time falling in love because it'll lead you to leave everything that you've worked so hard for and go hide yourself in a little village! I just have one thing to say, if you freakin show writers can't come up with something original, at least don't butcher a beautiful love story!!

WOMEN OF TODAY KNOWS HOW TO FIGHT BACK NOT RUN AWAY FROM THE SITUATION. WHAT WOULD SHE HAVE DONE IF SHE SAW ARMAAN IN A COMPROMISING SITUATION. AND WHAT IS WRONG IF HE CONFRONTED HER ABOUT IT. JUST TELL THE TRUTH AND CLEAR THE MISUNDERSTANDING. WHATS THE BIG DEAL. HOW IS SHE SETTING AN EXAMPLE ON THE "WOMEN OF TODAY" PLEASE. NO MORE EXCUSES FOR AUGUST 5TH BLUNDER CREATED BY SONY. TO TOP IT ALL OF..MALIKA SHOULD BE IN JAIL RIGHT NOW. WITH EVERYTHING AND ALL THE MESS SHE HAS CREATED .. SHE IS WALKING AROUND FREE. WHAT IS WRONG WITH U PPL. WHY DO U TAKE VIEWERS FOR GRANTED. WE ARE NOT STUPID. THE ONLY MESSAGE JASSI IS GIVING NOW A DAYS IS THAT EVIL PREVAILS NO MATTER WHAT. SHE IS NOT TAKIN A STAND FOR US WOMEN...SHE IS BEING A COWARD. PLS. THIS SOAP HAS TURNED INTO MERE STUPIDITY. IF TWO PPL LOVE EACH OTHER THEY SHOULD BE TOGETHER. YOU HAVE MANAGED TO RUIN THREE LIVES AND ALONG WITH THEM BROKEN THE HEARTS OF PPL ALL OVER THE UNIVERSE.

Mr Katiyal, your vindication (If I may call it that) of your and your channel's dirty and cheap rated publicity gimmicks is laughable, had it not involved the brutal butchering of my love, trust and hope that I, like millions of other loyal viewers had from your damn show and your damn Jassi. And please don't you dare try and get Jassi to be the representative of abused women, trying to put up a fight. Your Jassi didn't even put up a fight. I am an indirect victim of male abuse. i have known and seen women getting abused and putting up a brave fight, while trying to get out of the rut, especially even when they had no financial or emotional support. They didn't run away like Jassi, leaving their innocent families to face the music. Armaan is not worthy of Jassi? Indeed? the question now is, is Jassi worthy of Armaan! Mr.Katyal, you take infinite pains to prove that Armaan is worthy of Jassi and then in one stroke, you assassinate his character, make him unworthy so that your Jassi can become mahaan???? If he is, then Jassi should have put that across in front of the whole mandap and then walked out on him. That's woman power. By running away, she has proved that she is a kalank on women. I appreciate Anjali from kavyanjali for that! That's how one expects Jassi to have reacted. Not run away and hide herself, like you and your team must be doing now, after taking us all for a ride for two stinking years! Armaan is not worthy of Jassi!! PHOOEEEY! That means that Jassi's love that had changed him successfully from a jerk to a hero, suddenly became impotent on 5th August 2005, perhaps like the creativity of your creative team? And when you are speaking about sounding a wake up call to women who have been trampled upon all their lives, what about Mallika? Isn't she a woman too? Is it okay for her to be stuck in a meaningless relationship, for Armaan doesn't and can never love her? Just because she is not Jassi? And why is she still scot-free, when she ought to be in jail? Cut it Mr.Katiyal. Your hypocrisy disgusts me. So, men like CJ can frame innocent women like Jassi and get away with it? so, evil always prevails? And the victims, to prove their woman power, must run away from the mandap on the day of their wedding, without any explanation and put their families to shame, go rot in an obscure village and then give birth to bas***ds? Stunning message you and your blasted channel and show and so called unparalleled protagonist are sending out to our young generation, Mr.Katiyal. Bravo! Bravo! The genius Jassi; a financial expert's fate is to become a teacher in a obscure village! She has to hide her face like she is some sullied diseased infectious disease!! Great going Mr.Katiyal. Really, I am amazed at how excellently you have mercilessly butchered ex-our Jassi, her ambitions, her womanhood and you have the gall to call it an act of emancipation!! The truth is that Mr.katyal, you tried challenging Star, using us loyal audience as pawns. You probably succeeded on Friday. I congratulate you but you have lost our support, faith and love forever. Most of us have quit and will never want to have to do anything with your damn show or any product from T n D and/or Sony. Will never forgive you for assassinating Armaan's character yet again, this time irrevocably by his marrying mallika just to get even with jassia nd mouthing those foul anti-middle class sentiments! I take this opportunity to convey my heartfelt admiration and congratulations to Ekta Kapoor. That woman definitely knows how to hook viewers though all that she shows is crap. But unlike you and your team, Mr.Katyal, she at least doesn't pretend to be a path-breaker and fool and cheat us, inverting her messages. And Star at least doesn't cheat us with hype and hoardings of a wedding that was never meant to happen! You are damn liars and cheaters and most of all pathetic buffoons! Thanks to your idiocy, Star and Ekta kapoor are going to gain a lot. And our entire Armaan Jassi network will see to it that Star and Ekta GAIN A LOT! Finally, over and done with JJKN and SET for good! Good Riddance! Thanks Mr.Katyal. I just hope Mr. Katyal, for your own good that if you have any sense left, which I doubt, you will end this ex-daring, different and touching love story of a woman that dared to be different and not even think of a sequel to it. I just hope, wish and pray from the bottom of my heart that you and everybody else connected with JJKN lives to regret this, somehow, someday....if not already! And Mr.Katyal, Buri nazar? If only you had kept your f**king nazar away from Jassi..... Ex-JJKN worshipper and an ex-Late Armaan Jassi fan

Arre tarun, have u lost ur mind or what.. In all the episodes shown Armaan never once behaved as an opprssive lover.. Heaven's sake, are you now saying that we poor viewers can't even understand what was being shown all these months.. JAssi has NEVER BEEN OPPRESSED by Armaan. In fact she used to bully him to get him to do things the way she and her family wanted. this is BS that you are mouthing Tarun and you have dug a hole and are carrying on digging urself deeper into it.. why not include Tony and Deeya also in your pit and get buried for ever.. we dont belive you even for one bit as you have UTILIZED ARMAAN Suri's IMAGE to suit ur own purposes.. You showed him changed to be the lover anyone would covet and just by 1 instance u expect us to belive the crap u say about him walking all over Jassi.. BOOO HOOO.. we are not stupid like u to fall for ur words.. Go to HELL.. JJKN FOR NEVER

Let's pelt SONT, SET, TArun Kameena and Tony and Deeya with rotten tomaoes..They are the world's biggest SET of losers.. I think we need to have a category in this year's awards as to who can butcher a successful TV Show. And it will be given to guys unanimously. You have murdered a beautiful story and now think you can revive the lost glory by showing the old Jassi.. But you dumbos have forgotten that this time there are no takers for ur crap! I have discontinued SET from my cable!! And thank god I did that. At least with Ekta kapoor we know where we stand.. That lady is admirable as she is doing what she is saying.. unlike u poathetic liars who always preach but never practice what u preach. I have no desire to watch JJKN anymore. and so is my family. We feel compltely cheated and betrayed after the Aug 5the episode.. and how DARE YOU ACCUSE ARMAAN? You assholes think you can turn his character to be a wimp and a villain as and when you please/ But mercifully the public have better brains and know that there is nothing wrong in what he did. JASSI IS WRONG and WE WILL NOT SUPPORT YOU.. Hope you rot in hell and hope POORVA QUITS!! he has millions of fans who want to see him do a meaningful role where his character is not trashed as nd when the NON-CREATIVE team fancies. Give me a break.. Sony TV ko Tumhari hi nazar lag gayi.. Ab tumhe kaun bachyege.. Not us public! GOODBYE JASSI JAISI KOI NAHIN FOREVER.. U STINK JASSI. I AM PROUD I AM NOT LIKE YOU AND HATE MYSELF FOR THE WASTED 2 YEARS OF MY LIFE I GAVE THIS STUPID SHOW

I disagree with each and every word in this letter by Mona Singh..Iam totally disappointed with what going on in JJKN....I already have quit watching this stupid serial...They are just butchering the image of today's woman...Only to drag this serial they have used so many illogical stuffs..Why blame Armaan?...he asked Jassi before jumping into conclusion... But what Jassi replied "Main tumhari patni hoon isliye doosre aadmi ke paas ja sakti hoon"...Please Jassi clarify this ..What do u mean by this?

I too totally disagree with Jassi has said in this letter..and disagree with u to Mr.Tarun Katyal... Whatever she(Jassi) has done is wrong...Running from the marriage is not today's woman's value..Today's Woman would have come in front of all and have called off the wedding...not running and leaving their parents to suffer alone...

This is ridiculous...If Jassi feels whatever she has done is right then it is her misunderstanding...If Jassi feels if Armaan has done wrong by doubting her and if she feels that Armaan is not suitable for her then she should have called off the wedding..She should have come and she should have declared in front of all that she wants to call off the wedding bcoz Armaan is not worthy... To make Jassi great they spoilt Armaan's character by making him insulting her parents... She didn't even think of her parents while running off..If she feels that she is a women of today..then it is black spot on today's women..running from the mandap is the today's woman's duty..She has her duty towards her parents too..She should have told them and discussed with them...instead of leaving them at the mandap...

Firstly, Mr katyal,is that really you?? i cannot believe someone can misread audience reactions in an exactly opposite way. we were ready for jassi to become good looking because we knew that much as everyone goes on about inner beauty its outer beauty thats important. but we werent ready for jessica and we almost hated her but mind you, we didnt hate her because we still saw and chose to see the pain that she apparently went through to become jessica. you think you can blame your lack of directorial abilities not to speak of common sense on us??? we stood by jjkn and jassi and in fact the channel during those senseless courtroom scenes and the worthless premarital agreements. we stood by jassi and by then armaan as well because we unlik you believe that true love deserves to be together. we were loyal because we wanted them together. do you honestly think it was your marketing strategies that pulled us to sony everyday??worlds biggest simplton, please understand we stood by jassi and armaan--their love and what trust they represented.we stood by jassi for the concern she showed for her family.we stood by jassi because we thought she had guts to face the world. now you tell us armaan isnt worthy of her. how i pity the wonderful cast you have. do you realise that we will all rush back to you if you can possibly do damage control? please dont let us and jassi down. dont talk of passing messages to society, just talk of a story-beautiful story of sense and love.

WAAH! WAAH! Taaliyan! What an excuse? Armaan doesn't deserve Jassi? Whoa, I think it is the other way round. To make jassi MAHAAN in our eyes you are blaming Armaan? Didn't he confront Jassi? What if Jassi had seen Armaan in the same position with Mallika or Rhea leaning on him naked? Ooooh, then "middle-class", "seedhi-saadhi" , "bholi bhaali" Jassi would have slapped him and called off the wedding. And the makers would have cried hoarse "Don't let anyone mess without your dignity and self-worth " LOL! How dare you call Jassi "iconic"? All she has done till now is to run away from all her problems waiting for a miracle to happen. Earlier (the first 6 months), it was a different story, but now I am sure none of the parents would want a hypocritical daughter like Jassi. If she didn't want to marry Armaan couldn't she SAY that? Face the situation bravely and justify her actions. Why did she leave her parents in such a soup? People learn from their mistakes, but this girl will never learn (From the entire Jessica Bedi issue) And the characters are just puppets in the hands of Sony's "so called CREATIVE heads", I can never believe how they ruined such a wonderful show in a matter of months, the downfall started with Jassi running away to Alibagh. I feel like crying whenever I watch old videos and YO SOY BETTY LA FEA (the original telenovela of which JJKN was adapted) videos. Tell me, why did you ever buy the rights of Yo soy betty la Fea, you could have stolen the idea and said that it "inspired" you, you would have SAVED A LOT of money and we wouldn't have had ANY expectations. You betrayed us. And you think we will accept Jassi changing back to Plain Jane? HAHA! So, Mr. Tarun Katiyal, keep on dreaming that we will stick to Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin (like we have been doing for so long! Dumb, we were), you can't take us for granted anymore. I feel humiliated and ashamed for ever loving this show so much. Can't believe I didn't have dinner with my family for the past two years just to watch this show. It sounds stupid, na? Urmi Ghosh, Ranchi PS: I willingly missed yesterday's episode and I will do so from now on.

i am a middle class girl, and in our course of lifetime, we are doubted and suspected many times especially by overprotecting parents. Now just because they suspected me, Im not going to leave them and lead the life of a Sanyaasi. What Jassi is being is egoistic. IF instead of Armaan, her dad had asked her the same question, she wouldnt have minded would she. I cannot believe the wrong messages this serial is passing to the public. After all we have learnt a lesson, never be inspired by serials or their characters. if jassi was questioned after she got married to armaan, then would she still seek sanyaas ditching him???and if she is so aadarsh an Indian naari,why couldnt she just call off the wedding in front of everyone else. that way atleast her parent's maan sammaan will be intact. Running away like a thief only proves she is wrong. all this talk is extremely hypocritical. If she was so aadarsh, why did she agree to wearing that black saree with a bra blouse and indulging in pre marital sex?is this how all middle class girls in india actually are??? They are blaming the post makeover plummet in TRPs to viewers - what nonsense. They didnt know how to stick to the BLF track and had to bring in idiotic ram singhs, shyam singhs, semi-nude photos, CJ, rhea etc etc and blame the plummet on us???? Why o Why was the original columbian serials given to Tony and Deeya Singh. They are talking about principles. - Betty had principles. She changed Armando to a good person and they got married at the end. She didnt disrespect her parents. It was such a beautiful simple love story with so many morals. I am really regretting why i ever started watching this serial in the first place.

From my friend Michelle: This article has made me so mad that I want to write to Mr. Tarun Katial. I think Tarun Katial, and Jassi herself should stop justifying the joke they've turned Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin into. Mr. Katial says "They want to sound out a wake up call to all timid, middleclass girls with a message. Don't let anyone mess with your dignity and self-worth" . Oh please ! give us a break !. Jassi actually turned out to be a coward who had no guts to tell Armaan Suri at the mandap what she thinks of him. She knew very well that the Suris were not happy abt the marriage. Yet she ran off in a typical filmy style with all her bridal finery and left her parents, family and friends to face the wrath and insults of the Suris. This is the message given to today's girls, Run away from sticky situations, instead of facing the music. Moreover, what message are the makers of JJKN trying to give out that a person's strength lies in their looks. That a woman has to be deglamourised, nerdy looking to prove her mettle and that all good looking woman are dumb and need men to sustain them and that all men are oppressive In Jassi's case, she was insulted for her deglamourised look and later when she glamourised herself she became the queen of modelling. She had Nandu always by her side, had Purab's help to climb the modelling ladder and then had Armaan to romance. Armaan questioning Jassi on what was she doing in one room, sleeping peacefully while a semi-nude man is bending over her makes her feel insulted. What if the tables were turned and Jassi had to find Armaan with a semi-nude woman in one room and a situation which indicates that they've just made out. Wouldn't she question Armaan even once as to what really happened and that she would go by what he says? After all in today's world inspite of total faith in their spouses, people are still confronted with extra-marital affairs. In short, serial makers want to make inane serials, its fine, but don't fool the audience into beliving that they are working towards the betterment of woman. Women don't need such serials to (mis) guide them into living their life . Life's experiences itself teaches them how to face situations (not run away) and they do it better than what the Jassis and Tulsis of the serials do. So once again Mr. Tarun Katial, we are still fine with the joke JJKN has turned into, but we are not okay with your justification for it Michelle.

Mr. Katyaal, Whom are you trying to fool again? We diehard fans who had wasted two years of our worthy time in front of your TV channel? Thanks but no thanks. For your information, we 240 family in the township where I live cut Sony TV from our cable network day before yesterday. Permanently. We don't believe you anymore. You can do anything with that stupid Jassi and her more stupid creators, we don't care a damn. And even if you make amends for the heartbreaks we suffered, we have decided that we will never watch your channel again. Thanks for the technology explosion we now have enough channel choices. Sony and its crap shows can go to hell for all we care. And please don't compare any Indian girl to that tramp you created. We don't like to be insulted. And a request to the postal department:- Please withdraw the stamp you produced for Jassi. Lucky.

Mr. Tarun Katiyal, who are you trying to fool? Nobody is buying your sob stories anymore. YOU CHEATED THE VIEWERS AND THAT IS THE TRUTH! What the hell do you mean by saying 'Armaan isn't worthy of Jassi'..if you believe that then there is no bigger fool that you. Or maybe you believe this because you only understand Ekta Kapoor serials where love is a joke! You along with Tony & Deeya Singh have destroyed a beautiful lovestory. To hell with you & your stinking channel. You guys are nothing but cheap publicity gainers who adopt cheap methods to gain publicity. If you had no plans of ever showing a wedding between Armaan & Jassi why did you advertise on such a big scale. You want us to believe otherwise? No Mr. Katial, we are not fools. You have lost your credibility. You have already made a fool of yourself Mr. Katiyal so please stop giving such foolish interviews. Nobody now is interested in what Sony channel or Jassi does!

I have not watched Jassi this week at all. I used to be an ardent supporter and a fan of Jassi but no more. Running away is not the solution, No Jassi I do not support you. Infact if mother in law was not here I would have discontinued sony. What the heck TK mean when he says Armaan does not deserve her, then who does? The new wannabe "support system in waiting for Jassi" CJ ? His very name makes my skin crawl. Armaan was confronted with a sight that put a doubt in his head at least he had the courage to confront the person directly. He is human being and in his mind he and Jassi are already married. They are both answerable to each other. She should have answered back, fought with him but no she choose to leave him waiting at the alter. Just not done. What kind of message the makers are trying to convey here that in order make any relationship work one has to be a superhuman. When was the last time Jassi was being seen walked over by Armaan. They were shown to be madly in love with each other. So what was the point of showing the sacred engagement ceremony at Harmindir Saheb? Given the current turn of the story it seems the blessing received by a couple at one of holiest places in not good enough. Sacrilage period. As professionals I understand that T& D are in the market to make money, so the longer the series runs the better it is for the actors, producers and the directors,so if they seek ways to extend the story, it is fine. But look at the way they have done it. They misled the viewers by promoting the wedding that never happend. I wonder if they misled the celebrities like Neets Lulla and Mandira Bedi into promoting it? The build up to the marriage was great, with every ceremony beautifully done in detail, but happened on the main day. Instead of a wedding all viewers could see was clipping for the "infamous CJ scene" every five minutes. Even if hypothetically we forgive them for coming up with this sickening twist in the tale, was it necessary to assault the sensibilities of the viewers by repeating it so many times? Somebody in the creative team of T&D deserves to be cited for coming with the idea of showing "those clippings" together with the "sacred wedding rituals". It has to be the idea of someone's twisted brains. We were given a few samples of it before in the form of the "infamous Jassi lingere pictures" but alas we thought it was an aberration. We the audience and fans were too gullible. All of this, perhaps was well thought out and coolly analyzed. They must have thought what will the fans do, maybe they will crib and complain for a couple of days and then comeback to watch the series again. They all knew each and every move and seem to be prepared. This letter from Jasmeet walia, Statement from Tk everything. Having said all that I do not regret the time I spent watching it in the old days. It was fun and refreshingly different from any other serial where they show females as brain dead species. I enjoyed watching Armaan Jassi romance bloom deeper and deeper with time and watched it for them . When I first read the original Bettt La Fea story I had tears in my eyes . Trust T&D to take something so beautiful and mutilate into into a repulsive monster. Kill everything, the charm, the characters, the SOUL of the story. No JJKN team no, we will not be a gullible lamb again. For me JJKN is dead. Yes it is painful, seems like a "loved One" has died. Sorry guys I am getting emotional. I am in mourning

Honestly, let me tell you I watch Jaisi regularly as I was liking the story as for entertainment after a long working schedule. But the last few episodes.. was a disaster and more over today's article. I would like to put forward that the middle class girls especial who have family values and self respect will not do such thing which puts her parents in such a situation. Instead will tell her parents and refuse to marry or tell Arman that she will prove that his thing is wrong. And then refuse marring him as she has lost her blind trust from him etc.. Rest I too agree with the thoughts of other comments as put up on the site.

In my view this is all wrong!!!! armaan is not capable of jassi?? he could give his life is jassi just told him to do tht once!! a marriage is a big commitement and wen two people are in a relationship, they are answerable for their actions to one another!!! armaan just asked her to answer his one question, he didn't ask any explanation or told her to prove her innocence...he believed in her, n if she just told him once, he would have trusted her with his eyes closed!! this is wrong, completely wrong!!

This comment to adressed to Mr. Tarun Katiyal who thinks he is too smart. Whom is he trying to fool? Is he suggesting every middle-class girl run away from their mandaps leaving their parents in a lurch? If she doesnt want to marry Armaan then fine. But why punish her old parents for it? And does actually Mr. Katiyal watch the serials aired on his channel? Armaan deserves Jassi more than she deserves him. In fact she doesnt even deserve Nandu or Purab. She is too coward to be called an icon. I am a middle-class girl too. If I dont want to marry a guy I will tell my parents so rather than run away. Anyways trying to explain anything to Mr. Katiyal is of no use. Only thing he cares about is his ratings and this is another of his long line of stupid gimmicks. When silly serials like Kksum or 'Yeh Meri Life Hain' dont end why will he end Jassi? I am making a request to Mr. Jha(who is a close friend of the great Amitabh Bachchan) and Mumbai Mirror(belonging to the esteemed TOI group) not to give importance to people like Jassi and Tarun Katiyal in the future who are nothing but mere crooks. Mr. Jha's long time readers have higher expectations from him and expect him to maintain a certain standard. Mumbai Mirror has just started. Giving importance to such crooks will prove detrimental to it. I hope the editors keep this in mind and maintain a certain standard.

Regarding, "Frumpy Jaisi Koi Nahin," what does one say about this nonsense of an article piece? Sony Entertainment has thoroughly let their viewers down once again. From Kkusum to Fame Gurkul, Sony offers nothing but lies. First off, Sony is misrepresenting their disgruntled viewers. A majority of avid fans were not upset with her transformation physically. We knew this was happening and it would be a lot of fun to watch. What we did not expect was that Jasmeet Walia was not only transforming her appearance, but her name and identity as well. From this day, no one has been able to relate to her, because it accomplished nothing. She gave out a fuzzy message, you have to change to make in the world...uh, ok. My question to the viewers: When Jessica Bedi went to court, was it stimulating to watch what was going to happen to her? Didn't we all know she would be innocent or was it too hard to predict? Now she is going back to her old looks to go where? I am lost. Sony has this great idea that they will change her back. What a riot?! So Sony has misrepresented their viewers, lied to them and casually decided to hammer the final nail into the coffin of Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin. The protagonist is going to give out some message to all women to be strong and not get into oppressive relationships. Hey! Wait a minute, don't all indian serials preach the same thing? Hasn't Jassi endured enough trials and tribulations to finally reach a point that she could marry the man of her dreams? Hmm...did I miss something? According to this article, Armaan was not suitable for Jassi and thereby Jassi decides to leave him at the last moment. She leaves her parents high and dry because, "... Our message is: don't let anyone mess without your dignity and self-worth...???" I can name more than 10 instances where Jassi has had her self worth messed around with. So what is Sony trying to back track on? Looking back, I relish the moments that I laughed and cried with Jassi. She was my idol and I looked up to her. All I ever ask anymore is what happened? I don't know how to get my message across that all that mattered was that Jassi was still good at heart...it didn't matter if she had a transformation. I can't believe that I was such a loyal supporter of Jassi. She let us down at the last moment. For those of you who don't know what happened. CJ (Vikash Balla, I don't think I can watch a movie or hear a song of yours again) is out to destroy Jassi. He makes it appear as though he slept with Jassi and he tells Armaan that it happened as well. Armaan did his duty, he confronted Jassi, he begged her, he cried to her that if nothing happened, he will never question her again...but she chooses to play a smart alleck and and she didn't give a direct response. Then he slapped her. I understand that Armaan slapping Jassi was not right, but to tell you the truth it was high time that someone did to knock some sense into her. Apparently, as we can all see now violence is not a good thing, because you do even stranger things...like runaway rather than confront the attacker??? Was she that afraid of Armaan that she couldn't answer him and had to run away? Pretty sad, Jassi...pretty sad. If one takes a moment to think about it, she could have confronted Armaan at the alter or talked to her family about calling off the marriage, but I reiterate she chose to run away. She could have gotten mad at him...asked him what he saw...she could have screamed at him, they could have talked about it. None of this took place. Now folks, I am one of those people who does not keep trust in their vocabulary. We live in such times that one needs to hope for the best and expect the worst. I feel that communication plays a greater role in happy and prosperous relationship. Alas, as we have seen, communication and consistency are not Jassi's greatest strengths. In fact, Sony is putting all the blame on Armaan, but why? I laugh as I say this, Armaan has been through his own trials and tribulations trying to get Jassi back. I don't know what the makers were thinking when they decided to give him a 360 degree u turn back to negativity. I guess as usual...everyone around Jassi has to look bad in order for her to look mahan. Also, Jassi and her family should take some of the blame too on everything that transpired. Why did her family let her go to see Purab on the eve of her wedding by herself? This does not happen in real life. To top it off, she asks a man whom she barely knows to stay in the same hotel room with her. Come on, he was sleeping in the hotel lobby not in the frigid cold. She didn't once take the moment to think about the impact this would have on her to be in laws or her parents if they found out. I am sorry if this sounds old fashion, I don't mean to sound that way, but there are some things you just don't do. There are some times that you need to think about what the world has to say just to keep you out of possible trouble. I don't care if her intentions were good, but the situation wasn't so bad that she had to take such steps. Jassi does not deserve any sort of iconic status and definitely does not have my support. I refuse to support someone who is so selfish and hypocrital. To prove how great she is, Armaan's character had to take a 360 degree circle to prove her greatness. It is too late Jassi. Sony entertainment should have just stuck to showing the wedding rather than all this unnessary hypocracy. Finally, if the makers had stuck to Betty La Fea, they wouldn't be running into these kinds of problems. I urge Tony and Deeya Singh not screw up anymore good adaptations. If you can't do it right, then don't do it all...hmmm...that is the message Jassi should be giving out. PS - Katyal says, "..."Jassi ki shaadi pe kissiki nazar lag gayi..." Mr and Mrs. Singh, and Mr. Katyal, keep your eyes off a good thing nahin tho uspe bhi tumhari nazar lag jayegi.

da explanation offered is ridiculous.after all tht armaan did for her now its said tht he isn't worthy of her.atleast he faced the situation n not run away like jassi did. n any guy seeing his love interest in such a position wid another guy wud react in da way he did.trust doesn't mean blindly trusting the person as a god!n as of returning 2 old looks wid specs n all, isn't da solution. a girl can look good n still stand up 4 herself.getting bac 2 her ugly looks isn't gonna wipe away her troubles.troubles cum irrespective of ur looks.u just have 2 have the courage 2 face, which sadly jassi doesn't seem to have.

I think SONY's explanation is plain dumb. I have stopped watching this show long ago. Recently started watching again because of the big wedding promos and advertisements. I was really looking forward to Armaan-Jassi wedding but it did not happen. So here I go. I QUIT JJKN ONE MORE TIME !

Honestly, I live in New York & I started watching Jassi upon hearing all of the hype all the way from India about the show. In the beginning, the show was something that people from all walks of life could relate to. Jassi was a character that millions of girls could relate to. Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin was a refreshing change from the usual Ekta Kapoor pregnancy/wedding/villain/divorce sagas that had taken over the airwaves. Somewhere along the line, someone became greedy & decided to follow suit of the "Kk" serials. In doing so, you have destroyed an innovative, inspiring, unique gem of a show & given nothing but heartache to viewers who have become so emotionally involved with a character & a show that they themselves ignore their own families from 9:30PM-10PM four days a week. You need to find some way to rectify this situation because otherwise, you'll be left with rock bottom TRPs...the one thing you were so desperate to save. Finally, on another note, I hope everyone realizes that Mona & Jassi are two different people. Agreed that Mona should take some sort of stand with the plot the way that Apoorva & Samir did, but guys, she is not Jassi. Yes, she goes around saying that she is exactly like Jassi & all of that, but the fact remains, Mona Singh is Mona Singh. She plays a CHARACTER named Jasmeet Walia. It's not fair to lay the entire blame on someone who's simply doing her job. In an old interview, Mona had said that if it had been her choice in real life, she would have chosen Purab no matter how repentant Armaan was, but ultimately, she had to do what the script dictated. As the lead character of the show, she may have some say, but don't forget she is also under contract with the show & SONY...she can't just do as she pleases. And even if she threatened to leave, it's breach of contract, & no one would want to do something like that right @ the beginnings of her successful career. We can crap on Jassi all we want, but I think it's unfair to do that to Mona the way some people have been doing. Sony, Tony, Deeya, Tarun, all of you involved with this hideous turn that JJKN has taken better wake up soon & realize that you're not only about to lose your precious viewership, but also the reputation of a show which brought SONY to dazzling heights, its writers, its actors, & its characters.

Armaan is not worthy is your answer to us for the flop wedding??? This is just outrageous. We were just shocked to see our dream couple not getting married.

You are b**h who didnt find anything wrong when you slepted with Armaan and now saying he is not suitable for you. There were two eligible bacholars Armaan and Purab who really loved you. YOu are a dhobi ka kutta na ghar ka na ghat ka. You shameless woman ran away from the mandap without thinking about the humiliation your parents will be going thru. We hate you. Please dont come back to our lives. Armaan has to become negative again so that you get the sympathy. Not any more. May evil trimuph. Mallika and CJ are scotch free and Arman is to be blamed.

She has some nerve for asking sympathy and backing. Now after changing Armaan with her true love she is saying Armaan is not suitable for her. Poor Armaan had to take the fall so that Jassi madam looks mahan. Hate you Jassi. Hope the train you are travelling takes you to hell. Please dont show your ugly or beautiful face ever to us. You are a coward runner when Armaan is still there. This explains it all. Tarun K stop cheating viwers anymore. You will be cursed forever by the diehard JJKN fans.

Tony and Diya Singh & Tarun Katyal, congratulations on destroying Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahin. You have finally proven that a clean, simple story cannot exist in indian television. Jassi goes to become a school teacher in a village ?? Pray tell me why ?? What did Armaan do that caused her to react the way she did ? Agreed Armaan should have trusted her more, but what does Jessica do ? I am calling her Jessica and not Jassi, because the Jassi I knew is dead. She died long ago. I kept watching this serial hoping that one day she would come back. The new Jassi you have been showing is a brainless, coward and escapist. She did not once think what would happen to her family if she runs away on the day of her wedding. What happened to the old Jassi who would solve her problems facing them head on. Why did Jassi have to run away, why could she not solve her problems with Armaan, if she could not marry Armaan why run away, why not meet him face to face and tell him ? Jassi could have stayed back, married Armaan and then do whatever social work she wanted to do ? What is she punishing Armaan for ? I will never ever forgive any of you for the way you have destroyed such a beautiful serial. Please dont adopt good ideas like BLF if you cannot implement them. Faithful viewers like me dont deserve this. Today finally you have managed to disillusion me about any sensible soap running its normal course in indian television. Jassi was more than a daily soap, it was a reflection what a true indian woman is. Needless to say, I dont consider myself an escapist or a brainless bimbo who does not care for family's well being and who lives in a make believe world where she thinks she is going to fulfill her life's aim in being a school teacher since she cannot "face" life. Today, along with Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahin, Jassi and Armaan also are dead.

THE makers and the channel SONY cheated their viewers by promising thw wedding of amran and jassi and then changed the plot and introduced this ridiculous twist and now they want to blame arman to show jassi as mahaan.I am sorry but we dont accept it,if u think that we watch the serial for jassi then they are wrong,we watched the serial for 2years to see arman adn jassi's wedding ,Why should arman be blamed isnt jassi equally responsible for the mess ,arman was good enough to ask her for the truth after what he saw ( a nude guy on top of jassi in a runaway hotel) and still he was willing to go ahead with the wedding and just asked jassi for the truth,instead jassi spoke in riddles and ran away ,but then as she is the icon,arman gets blamed again.This time both were equally responsible for the debacle of their relationship,they just didnt communicate,pls we dont accept your apology as you have cheated us and please dont make arman the scapegoat everytime to show jassi as mahaan,when she is not

Dear Tarun K, You have some nerve to say Armaan is not suitable for her. Why did she get engaged to Armaan in a holy place??? She has a big fat ego. Why blame Armaan alone??? You have lost any sympathies for Jassi. We hate Jassi. She is not our idol anymore. And Jassi stop running away from your problems. It was a shame to her parents.The essence of the original story of a rake becoming a better person after he falls for his ugly asistant has been butchered badly. Hate you Tarun. Hate you Jassi. You just cant take viewers for a ride. We wont let you anymore. You guys should rot in hell. Thanks, Seema Furious JJKN fan

SONY did the pucblicity gimmick. They advertized on their wesite' Jassi Wedds Armaan' and at the 11th hour changed the story. Why does Tarun Katiyal thinks Armaan is not worth Jassi? What is wrong with Armaan? and why do they have to butcher Armaan's character to prove Jassi's greatness? Jassi has lost her image the day they turned her into model. Now even if they bring back the braces, spectacles or salwars, it is not going to help. Boond Se Gayi Woh Haud Se Nahin Aati.
