I am particularly indebted to people here,especially Ankie di and mbficoa1987 who are trying again and again and asking people to stop panicking. Please read the entire post and try to get what am trying to say.
I was like this a few days a ago. Hell,i spent the entire weekend in bed doing nothing but thinking about the engagement. I thought of QH all the time - In train,in bus,in taxis,in shower,on the road- anywhere and everywhere. My day would start with searching for spoilers and my day would end worrying about them. It felt horrible and last night i realized i am,all by myself,destroying QH for me. Unbelievable but true. But the death knell was when i saw the same happening with my lil cousin sister. Last night her health took a beating. She broke down today afternoon and cried and cried and what she told me simply broke my heart.
My lil cousin sis told me how she has turned into an insomniac. How she has spent nights and nights on IF just searching for spoilers and predictions and what not. She said she found it difficult to log out and she would cry all the time when something bad would crop up like zoya's slap. She hasnt slept well for a week and she told me she cant take it anymore.
I sat there wondering what i had done. I had introduced her to QH in the first place but i never knew she will get this addicted. She cried hugging me and her stand was clear " No more QH for me" and i said yes. No more. She further added that after she became a huge fan of Asya , she got to know about the synopsis and it broke her heart and she was in denial for a long time. She could not stand the idea.
This is what scared me the most, I remember reading somewhre that when cvs wanted to replace Barun sobti in IPK,some fans actually threatened to kill themselves. My God. What is this craze all about? No,i wont watch my sister or any of you harming yourself ( it doesnt matter how) because of a tv show.
Qubool hai is just a TV show. Like the other shows on TV. It will have twists and turns to keep the show running. It does not matter who ends up with whom now. The end matters and you have to wait for it. Everybody here has a life. Qubool hai is a very small part of the life. We have friends,studies,siblings and real problems. Life is out there and not in Forum32 or IF or Sbs or sbb or ZEE TV or Qubool hai. Please dont stress yourself because of a tv show. The actors do their parts and go home and relax. They laugh and smile and have fun behind the scenes. They laugh and ,make faces during a very serious scene. So why shouldnt we? if the actors are so pretty cool about it why cant we be?! Come on! Its fiction. Asad and zoya and tannu dont exist in real life. They are not real people. Enjoy the chemistry and the story. Like a good storybook. And come back to reality as soon as it shows 10 pm on the clock. Am sure everyone's reality is better than the show then why kill ourselves for it. Gul khan will sleep peacefully at night while we will worry? Why the hecK? its just a show. Get over it.
Now i have suggested a few things to my sister and i would like to share it with you too. These are only for those who are having trouble dealing with the developments of QH.
* Visit IF twice a day. Not more than that. See whatever you have to see and then log out. Dont stress yourself and wait all day long for updates.
* If spoilers stress you out,avoid them, Simply. Know that whatever the spoiler is it wont show you the entire story and eventually you will see it in the episodes two or three days late then why bother?
* Dont obsess about the couple. They are meant to be. Wait till the characters get developed properly.
* Take a break from the show. Yes,you read that right. Take a few episodes break and then come back. It will always be there on youtube. Why stress?
* Try watching other shows. this works. When you watch other shows yo get a better idea that this is indeed a fictionalized world. Try watching comedy shows. Or light shows. This really helps. It dilutes your focus from the stress.
*Go out and have fun. talk to friends about other stuff. In other words,steer clear from QH discussions.
* Read a good book and watch good movies.
* Go watch ipl!! Nothing like it. I have and i know. It makes you feel more alive than ever with the entire stadium roaring. Its a celebration! like no other! QH will stay but IPL comes once a year. Dont miss it. And if you cant go to the stadium,watch it with your family- with brothers and your father and your cousins! Its an amazing family bonding time!
Lastly,live your life. There is nothing better than this. The actors of the show are doing that, They are earning money and love. Then why should we lose our minds?? For What?
You might have many problems in your life and maybe thats why you are holding QH so dear but these problems will go away.
Just think,ten years or even five years from now,you will look back and laugh about getting stressed about a show so much that it almost made it hard for you to breathe. You dont want that. You dont want to remember QH like that. It is really not Worth it.
Thank you for reading and hope it helps.
