I think 12 replacements in a mere span of 2 months is enough to reflect the miserable state of the TV industry.And even stranger is that out of these 12, about 4-5 have quit coz of health issues due to hectic schedules.Indeed its sad.Acc to Indian as well as European labor laws, any kind of worker should only have a maximum 10 working hrs a day if hes to remain in good health.And as Ronit has himself said, 12 hrs is just a no.,...most tv actors have to work for 14-16 hrs a day.

I wish the makers one day understand that quality is more important than quantity. 4/5 epis(a week) of a good storyline are anyday better than a dragged senseless story airing 6 days a week.A good show coming to a logical end in 1 to 2 years is far far better than dragging a good show to a illogical crap in 5-6 years and then ending it on the most unrealistic and illogical note.

Its indeed miserable that the makers don't understand their own good. Dont u/stand that if they wrap up a story in a good and timely manner, and air their show for 4/5 days a week(thats pretty reasonable), probably there will be least replacements, better shows, quality performances and more satisfied audiences.I doubt we can blame an actor if hes made to work in filthy conditions for 14 hrs a day for 3 long years without much break than a weekend holiday and that too on a crappy storyline where hes to do the same things for years.

And seriously if the makers dont change this attitude, that day isnt far when ppl will completely lose interest in television of this kind(which we already can witness from trend of trps). It's high time they u/stand that the viewers put a lot of emotions in the story and the characters and if they don't stop playing with the viewer's emotions,they would surely be at an utter loss!

Malika I completely agree with you...it is so sad to read the conditions the actors work in. It feels like they are mere slaves in the hand of the productions houses...ok ya they are paid but this is noway to treat your employees they are bringing the TRPs if not for anything else, like humanity, then treat them nicely for that purpose. I think the audience will happily settle for 4 days a week if they know what the actors have to endure

ya yashraj shows like Powder khotte sikhey ... mahi way rishtey dot com wer so gud...i luvd evry show of Sony...bt my fav was Mukti bandhan such an awesome show bt had to go off air bcz of poor trps...
