Reg. update 3, I had to give a detailed reply on pg. 20 of this post defending SC and its viewers.
Hi All,
SC fans, Gautam fans Jenny fans
SC is the first serial that got me interested in a number of years and I have watched all the episodes since day 1. I loved it so much that I recommended it to my friends and family and whoever I could, and they all thanked me. Unfortunately, I see the interest is fading for some reason or the other and I really want to make sure it does not happen . I want the show to do really well, since we all had a lot of expectations from a SLB show and its wonderful cast. It is a nice romantic show apart from the regular stuff around.
Let me give my thoughts from what I have gathered from others around me, since none of them are really keen to go online and talk about it. However, I really want SC to do well
1. Vidya chatur- there are lot of people missing him and the wonderful father- daughter bond that Vidya Chatur and Kumud shared. With Yatin leaving the show that part of the father-daughter story has gone missing. The current Vidya Chatur may be a nice actor but even after a couple of episodes the absence of Yatin as Kumud' s father is being felt. Yatin also acted well with Dukhba and the brother sister bond looked real on screen. How can I forget Yatin's bond with his singer brother. Finally Guniyal and Yatin were a perfect wonderful couple as Kumuds's parents on screen. Yatin's friendship with LNV looked so real onscreen, especially when they narrated their childhood stories etc. I am sure a lot of thought was put into getting Yatin to the show, and the makers were not wrong. So we are all surprised and a bit upset with the change. I think the absence of Yatin has affected a lot of parallel stories and characters. In the future, if there are skype conversations, I wonder if the current VC will be able to nail them. I see people talking about their concern in this regard, however the makers of SC do not care.
( On 27th June, we finally got to know the reason why VC left. We miss you Yatin, hope to see you back with the SC family).
2. Grandfather has gone missing for quite sometime, he could not be spotted at the engagement ceremony.
3. Kusum and Sunny are talented however, they are there to give a good smile and may be 1-2 dialogues. Kusum and Sunny can be put together. You can show them making some plans for saras and kumud and slowly getting involved.
4. Too much of Guman, it annoys a lot of them. Sometimes you wonder if you are watching Kumud aur Saras ki Dastan or Guman ki Dastan. With Guman showing up at all the places, it is a bit irritating. Sometimes you just want to watch a few shots peacefully and enjoy them.
5. Compared to before, Dukhba and Kumari are also getting more screen space. Sometimes you can show Dukhba is good to her daughter and not always shouting at her. I do not think there is any Mom in this world who will not express her love to her daughter. I hope those annoying and cheesy meetings between Kumari and Umesh are over.
6. Instead of so much of Dukhba and Kumari, you can sometimes show Kumud's Chacha Chachi.
7. Gautam, what can I say we all love and adore him. He has performed wonderfully and exhibited all range of emotions on this show. Really talented and a well hidden treasure,so far. Gautam is doing his best to make the show a real hit. We can never doubt his dedication towards the show. He gives so many small interviews and is active on twitter. He has added tons of fans to twitter so quickly. We wish him all the luck. We all know SC means a lot to him, he has really waited for such a dream role and give his all to make it a popular show. Unfortunately, after the PMS fiasco he seems a bit withdrawn in his chemistry with Jenny. Looks like jenny's clause is being put into effect. Recently, Jenny mentioned, no man likes his wife to be touched. Such statements are bound to make one uncomfortable.
Recently, they have never had some cute shots between Saras and Kumud, like the ones they have shown when they were falling In love. Now Saras and Kumud are in love but it does not come across on screen. Some of you will not agree with me, and defend them by saying that they just won the best couple award. However, this award was for their chemistry so far and this chemistry was good. Earlier, most of the times they had arguments, fights and some pyar and it all worked well. Jenny must have found it easier to get upset and angry at saras. However, now when there are no fights and arguments and love is in the air, one can hardly feel it on screen.
I think jenny should be more professional in her dealing with gautam , recent SPA fiasco.( NOT A TRACE OF JENNY IN THE STAR PARIVAR MUSIC VIDEO. THIS PERFORMANCE FEATURED A LOT OF JODI's. GAUTAM PERFORMED WITH DUKHBA, HAPPILY.)
You hardly get to see their interviews together. I think the offscreen chemistry interviews are really good for viewers and the show. I would have liked if they promoted the show together. Also KSG should stop imparting any negativity towards SC. These days it's all about promotion, best eg. is movie promotion. Currently, I admire how the recently married vidya balan is promoting her movie along with Emraan Hashmi. What needs to be done has to be done.
An evil part of my mind thinks if it is a Mr K plan that's working against SC. He was unable to get saraswatichandra, however he allowed Jenny to be a part if it inspite of knowing that it is a romantic story. This would let him know the inside details about how the story is progressing at SC. Instil in her this crazy behavior, give these weird interviews, show possessive husband and wife behavior, ignite these controversies and ruin the show. If the makers are really upset Jenny will either leave or asked to leave. Definitely Jenny's fans will be upset and affect SC. What if she joins Q. Finally, Q wins and and Gautam inspite of all his hard work is not able to take it to the top.
( I DID RECEIVE A RESPONSE FROM A READER - " I wish and pray they replace Surbhi with Jen in Q")
I am wondering, if Gautam hears all these crazy stories about K and Jenny and her clauses, he is bound to be withdrawn and feel uncomfortable with romantic shots. Agreed, Jenny is a professional and does not have time for offscreen chemistry and interviews etc. but that is really important. Please, I am not suggesting that she party and picnic with Gautam. I heard she just gives her shot and goes back to her room. Beleive me such a behavior will affect her slowly, since it is important to be social. If you are going to spend a major part of your day with colleagues you might as well spend it with warmth and some good friendly time rather than being withdrawn. Jenny always says that she and KSG are professional, and they have been in the industry and know how it works. However, her actions and behavior are not professional, and the SC fans get to see that. Jenny is more interested in promoting K instead of SC.
Under such circumstances if the makers are able to find a new wonderful Kumud, it will be great. I am pretty sure such an idea may already be in progress. Finally, the wonderful show must go on. In case, people with selfish attitudes are a part of SC, they should be kept away.
Jai Ho SC.

There is an outrage after listening to recent Kinterview.
Well, I had seen a few Q episodes, because I wanted to know who Jenny's husband was. I strongly felt that the two stories were moving similarly. I was a bit frustrated and quit watching Q.
Now K interview confirms that the two stories are similar. How is it possible? We all know that SC is based on an old novel. It is a modern adaptation of the novel. What is Q based on?. All this makes me believe, well it is based on SC insider information- ha ha ha. Q, has the luxury of insider information. Well, SC does not have any insider information on Q. Does SC need such information ? The answer is no.
A Jenny- K talk at home can reveal a lot of info. This info. can be unknowingly incorporated into Q and make SC and Q similar. Those of you, who will say no information is passed, think twice. A husband and wife will always talk about how their day was and what they did at work. If not, then there is a problem in the relationship.
SC is being made by the master SLB, it's chances of being copied are higher.

OK, this is not for those, who do not find any problems. It is for those fans who care about SC and want to to increase its viewers. I say, it's not the loyalists who matter, but the dissatisfied ones. Loyalist will always be there, but its the dissatisfied ones that will leave. This is an attempt to have their voice heard and increase the fan following of SC.
You see a lot of thought and money is put into making movies, however, the best banner movies do flop at times. This is because everyone has tremendous faith in their product and are overconfident. They take the movie goers for granted. However, in case of SC , it is a daily soap. Let the makers know how and what you feel will, it definitely help them improve.
Gautam has not given any reason to complain. Wow, what a performance with LNV on 2nd July. Apart from romantic shots, he is really good in a serious mood as well.
He earns additional respect for performing with Dukhba in the Star Parivar music video.
Recently, there has been quite a change in Jenny's attitude, quite a few offscreen interviews and Hi 5.
There were some of you who responded by saying, " we do not care about offscreen, as long as she does her job onscreen well". I see these people going gaga over offscreen stuff :the samud interviews and pictures. So, yes, the offscreen image does matter. I am not here to criticize her, but to suggest what the makers must do to increase the number of people wanting to watch their show. One has to compete, to stand out. There are tons of shows on TV. Generate a buzz.
I believe Jenny joining HNY, is a rumor. After the offscreen interviews, that is a second way to improve her image, that had taken some beating for various reasons. The news that she may be a part of HNY can create a lot of buzz. Please do not worry, it's just a rumor.
Samud karkhana farewell was a big flop show. It hardly seemed that the engaged couple was parting ways. I would say the makers did try hard to regain the Samud magic at their Karva Chauth meeting. They did manage to some extent. Wonder, if it was the last time they wanted to show them together, and so they tried to do their best. The first hug, at this meeting did look a bit forced.
VC your absence continues to be felt. Atleast, we received some news regarding your absence.
Dadaji still missing, Gyan and his wife. Not really around.
Glad that Dukhba-kumari screen space reduced. (I mean Dukhba continuously upset with Kumari).Finally, mother - daughter love was shown. I do not think anyone missed those cheesy Umesh- Kumari meetings. Danny- Kumari shots were good.
Kumud did get a few extra dialogues and scenes. She was very much around for her dear sis.
Atleast we got to see some shots, without Ghuman popping up every time.
LNV gave a wonderful performance on 2 July.
In short, the makers did manage to balance the role of quite a few characters on 2 July.
Let's see what lies ahead.
Jai Ho, SC.

UPDATE -3. 13th JULY. ( crazy K interview regarding SC and its analysis)
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
This is the part of my post posted on 18th June, and its analysis:
"An evil part of my mind thinks if it is a K plan that's working against SC. He was unable to get saraswatichandra, however he allowed Jenny to be a part if it inspite of knowing that it is a romantic story. This would let him know the inside details about how the story is progressing at SC. Instil in her this crazy behavior, give these weird interviews, show possessive husband and wife behavior, ignite these controversies and ruin the show. If the makers are really upset Jenny will either leave or asked to leave. Definitely Jenny's fans will be upset and affect SC. What if she joins Q i? Finally, Q wins and and Gautam inspite of all his hard work is not able to take it to the top."
Analysis of the above paragraph:
There were some of you who thought, I was a bit too hypothetical, and I had no proof. A big Thank you to those who had supported.
Wow, I finally got a proof for what the evil part of my mind was thinking. That crazy husband of Jenny, mentioned to the media that he was offered the role of Saraswatichandra, and he refused because the name of the hero is Saraswati.
Hello, Mr K- The name of hero is not Saraswati, it is Saraswatichandra , there is a big difference. I am glad you did not accept it, because if you did not get the name rightt, how can you act as Saraswatichandra. I am sure you would have acted like Saraswati and not Saraswatichandra. That would have been a big problem. The makers thought the same and did not take you. Well you were not given the part, but I suppose you auditioned for it. They did not take you, because they already had their perfect Saraswatichandra - The talented Gautam Rode.
Jenny must have insisted that she will do intimate scenes with K. Those scenes that will be an integral part of a romantic story. K must have been called for audition just to please Jenny.The makers must have clearly mentioned to her that they are only interested in her and not K? This must have been one of the reasons why Jenny refused SC initially. Her somewhat cold attitude towards Gautam, and certain interviews, explains all. We have managed to sense all this and voice our concerns. This has resulted in quite a few Saras- Kumud offscreen interviews, recently.
It looks like all this has affected K and he continues to say stuff that does not make sense. Look at the timing of K mentioning that he was offered role of SC. He knows that there is a possibility of Saras-Kumud coming together, next week. I am sure he is having restless days and nights again. You all know Jenny mentioned- no man will like his wife to be touched.
Well Gautam - " You are the best choice for Saraswatichandra." Most of us know that you were the first choice as well.
Jai Ho SC
