To Whomever it may concern
Please note that following are some of my posts / direct quotes on India Forums concerning recent predicaments that BRKD is allegedly going through. I would appreciate a prompt and urgent response, hoping that the "right" person(s) is reading it. If the right person is reading it, I would like it acknowledged ASAP.
Some posts may not directly address the "news" about the serial. As an ardent diehard viewer, I feel that I deserve an honest truthful answer from Powers That Be, rather than simply an outcome of totally unscientific trp system.
All I am asking is only for the sole purpose of a win-win situation. So please give this concerned email its due and timely consideration and prompt answer.
Warm regards,
Pam Jolly
P.S. My apologies in advance if any portion of the thoughts below rub anybody wrongly because obviously that is not the intention.

June 4, Epi 57
Today's episode poses many issues and I know I am going to be at a loss for words.
I do not know whether to write about balraj exceeding his own devious, dubious self yet again, or Agasthya and Meera's FIRST HUG (mainly due to arti's condition), or about mongia's continued filthy threats, advances towards Shyama, or about Beeji's nonstop suspicions of impending dangers at the hands of balraj yet again, or about zakhmi and unconscious Arti's purse getting stolen and in the process the evidence / proof of balraj's deadly intentions to kill his own elder brother Kailash, or about the precap when Shyama ultimately bows down to mongia, just to save Akhil from being killed by an ugly weakling???
Today's episode had me sitting on the edge of my seat yet again, full of mixed bag of feelings😕😆😭😃😲🤗 Meera's acting expressing mom's serious condition at the "JEEVAN HOSPITAL" to Agasthya was better than the Big Screen actresses of today. As I already predicted, Arti is NOT going to die.
But before that, Agasthya walks up to Meera at the hospital as shown in the pic below.

One word for today's episode ... AMAAAZING !!!
🤢😡 Balraj character personified here ?! 😡🤢
Still not done with yest June 4th epi 😭 Two MORE things come to mind and itching to express them, not in the order of importance or significance.
One, the name of the hospital IMO is symbolic. I have NEVER heard of a hospital that could be named as such. Here "jeevan" signifies that Arti IS going to live (dont matter that today's epi freezes on balraj about to pull the plug on comatose arti.) But prediction: tomorrow he will realize that his fingerprints should not be on the plug, or alternatively someone will walk in the room just in the nick of time, making balraj change his facial expressions like chameleon and him making up some excuse that he was checking up on arti cuz "a comatose patient's chances to survive improve since she can "hear" nice things??😡
Two, the entire Agasthya-Meera emotional exchange, M hugging A, asking him whether mom will live, telling him about "a letter" mom talking to her about and extremely disturbed about it, holding his hand tight as if wanting him near her and support her, give her aashwasan (console her).
What was terribly striking these 5-6 minutes of AG-M togetherness is that Agasthya was enacting two roles SIMULTANEOUSLY, one of a friend and the other about his attraction towards Meera as already known, but under "normal" circumstances, not when Meera's mom is fighting btw life and death. But since this is the very 1st time M cries vehemently holding with her arms around him, that Agasthya has to instantly restrain his feelings for her, realize the naazukta of the situation (sensitive situation) and instantly become a sincere well-wisher friend and console her that mom will be just fine.
Not an easy thing to do. Abhaas' acting prowess shone thru brilliantly and I was clapping and weeping at the same time.
AM you cannot and should not quit. If you ever read these posts, we all beg you to reconsider your decision. You are too important a character to quit. Your quitting may actually cause serial's downfall, I'm afraid.
testimonials and slides
Ravi Ojha's Productions (ROP) had unheard of success of SGP (sasural genda phool, rem ragini khanna?!). Us viewers audience may be getting disheartened, disillusioned, disappointed (unintentional "dis"), but they are not. Dont know how long Khela ran, but ROP is a full fledged awesome creative team of people. They are not going to give up that easy. Like any inimitable PH, me sure that they are not sitting pretty but trying to find ways and means to introduce dif twists, angles, tracks, perhaps even more FBs.
Why was Ani's character the way it was, other than fear of dad?
Why balraj has this evil streak in him? Something to do with his childhood (like my late husband) ??
Connection btw Kailash Asthana and Prem Ranawat (sp)? What did both do that balraj had to resort to have them both killed?
What ELSE does Beeji know about balraj, perhaps even more sinister than shown last 14 weeks?
Why entire clan is afraid of balraj if they are NOT privy to his serial killing evil streak?
Amma is elder than him cuz her husband Kailash was elder than balraj. What in god's name is she afraid of him for? Respect and fear dont go hand in hand at all IMHO.
(No clue if khela had all of the above shown??? )
Did khela have Agasthya character at all? If not, then why/when/how did he vanish from the serial? If there was no such character at all, that means BRKD creatives created him. Right? From twitter message of AM, it seems ROP dont seem to have further scope, storyline, progression for him. Why else would he decide to quit😭😭😭
Since I do no know this, have ROP asked/requested him to NOT quit, given how crucial and important Agasthya's character has been from Day One?? NNM love triangle cannot, should not, does not automatically announce the verdict of "no more storyline for Agasthya."
Just curious, has any serial in the past been shelved in such a short time? If yes, which one and why, other than low ratings?
Is 1.1 TRP considered "low rating" for a serial only on the air for 14 weeks??
Do CVs/PH have no say in Zee's decision to shelve the serial? If they do have clout, pray that they do, then they will do everything in their power, if not already, to convince Z, to do whatever it takes to move the show further.
Although I sent following comments, wonder if the "right" people read them to have an appropriate impact.
my comments on the petition: (written as they came in the mind extemporaneously)
We are appalled at what we are hearing about serial being under scanning, when it has everything going for it. The show is executed with so much hard work and it has attained good TRP knowing that it hasn't even been on air for 3 months. The success of a show of this high calibre cannot be judged and decided in such a short period. Each actor has been putting their hardest and our admiration for each one of them is unparalleled. It's not everyday we come across such serials which grab us so immensely each day, keeping us on the edge of our seats. I wonder if whatever system / method that you all follow, has any scientific basis or is it just decided on the whims and fancies of some selected few. This is most unreasonable, uncalled for step I can think of in the history of tv serials. Please please reconsider and make Abhaas Mehta's character even stronger and powerful. The actor has done superbly and he deserves to be given more and more screen space to bring the serial to the next higher level.
There are other soaps so hollow and yet running for a long time. BRKD more than deserves its due consideration. It's produced/directed for audiences and the voice of audience needs to be heard. Othewise they lose the very essence of releasing it in the 1st place and in the process losing the very purpose of releasing it in the 1st place.

Radev 👏

If I was anyone from Zee TV I would have sanctioned an extension right now reading it.

Zee TV is losing their mind. The show is not doing THAT bad if we take numbers into consideration there are shows getting below 1.0 trp

Zee TV not showing promos and repeats are not helping them in getting more viewing & viewers.

Channel's pressure and negligence both can affect PH and content and demoralize actors and workers.

Then I appoint you to be at the decision making round table conference and TPTB hehe Ms Quietude!😃😆
Yeah I had to read my own copy/paste carefully cuz somewhere I had said the heads at Zee are losing their heads haha!
No promos, no repeats, time slot change, yet maintained 1.1 and that too when the show is still so new compared to all the others (except PV2).
On AG-M AT Simmi even said something (pg 90 top?) not quite palatable about the channel and me couldn't agree more.
One of the best actors being demoralized already. Do we need any more proof of these people not even knowing what the heck going on?
What I still dont know is why and howcome only trp is a determinant factor? What does low trp, if at all, does to the channel of such high magnitude in dollars and sense (not cents)? Check out zeetvusa.com and you will know what I mean.

Quietude, Shobhi, lioness (serious stuff, no "cutie" stuff😉), vashu, ashu, rafz, simmi, senada, faati, waneeka, (any other IF member) since you all excellent writers, can you give some added ideas, suggestions that I can send to zee, that I may have totally missed. More we bang on their heads, that much better. We need to barrage them with our objections one after another in quick succession. They need to come out of their kumbhkaran slumber and smell the roses. Are they daydreaming or what, putting such a topnotch serial under scanner???? Gosh😡🤢
