A request to my RR family

Early February it was. Yes.

I had begun catching glimpses of RR in the wee hours of the night thanks to my insomnia during work travel.

My quest for knowing more about Rangrasiya and its protagonist Rudra Pratap Ranawat on several hours of google search led me to a website ... something called india forums... extremely data heavy.. quite populated but super informative and creative.

There I spotted the forum. Wow. There are people who are actually sharing views about everything on the show.

It stunned me.

Awesome thoughts and superlative takes. Heart rending perspectives, criticism: equally constructive and equally biased and of course the neverending demand for consummation, shirtless Rudradev and the infamous RR casino...

And I signed up for the awesome chemistry and also to relive Nehal and mine story post marriage...

And my life changed. Just like it did for Paro and her Rudradev after their second meeting in the desert..

And this place was like a mirage in the desert...

THE ADDICTION

A recently occurred personal tragedy did not seem to hold anymore as I was slowly and steadily mesmerized by the forum, its members and the show itself.

Of course, suddenly 9.30 pm on a weekday became sanctimonious.

Made my first post was a question to Josephsa asking him if the black jacket look test scene will ever find itself into the reel and was given such a warm welcome by him that one seldom gives to a stranger... but then as time passed I realized that the forum itself is extremely warm with good natured people. And this is how all newbies were welcomed.. with open arms.. always!

It was a great feeling. feeling of having belonged. And I still live by it.

And have made several posts now, episolatory series ... responses and also sent a stupid PM to a revered member, whom I am missing too much... with a very stupid suggestion.

Ever poignant and mature, the member did not respond to my PM and I am really thankful to her for doing it. Served me right.

My mother-in-law, who watches RR with me, knows almost all those I follow and I read out posts to her too.. and she enjoys each and every word written.

MY NEW HOME

The fact of the case is that this forum is my new home. It was like finding another life in the virtual world and all the members are a family now.

And since past few weeks this forum -my home- is in complete disarray.

Kisi ki nazar lag gayee hai mere ghar ko...

Werent we all waiting for the actual story to unfold, the Rudra and Parvati love story and now that it is just about to begin, there is just not enough excitement.

SBS/SBB were excellent entertainment and so were the bets... but today's post of Rudra kissing Paro is struggling compared to the over 75k views for one of the segments in the past and over 150 pages that it spilled into a second thread..

Agar pehle jaise zindagi hoti to shaayad this post would have broken all the IF records.. but sigh..there is no RR casino today (only one member placed a bet, I think today) and miss this : "aakhir yeh show kaun dekhtaa hai".. the tongue in cheek references to the silent readers of this forum who would not contribute to the posts but increase the views...

Oh I miss all this so so much...

And it has made me extremely restless and anxiety levels are super high...

I feel as I have transformed into Rudra: Aisaa lagtaa hai ki sab kuch kat gaya hai... ek dum andar... Dikhau?? 😭😭😭🤢.. bahot dard hota hai... and my poor Nehal keeps on playing Paro to me... trying to get me back in the real world...

And I am now desperate ...shouting ... seeking help.

For one or the other reason few of the top notch writer members of this forum have kept their pen down and either silenced themselves or ever worst quit.

And it pains not see them around and there is this emptiness around.. as if one is lost without their perspective.. their assurance that "jhakk maarke..."

And by no means I am belittling all those who post, Joseph bhaisa, Jyoti, DexterRocks, Arre Yaar and all of you out there .. you are simply awesome and appreciate to the core but few of my home's mast heads have just gone...and I am missing them.

I am sure many of our fellow forumwasis will share my grief and pain.

I want to appeal to all these beautiful contributors to return to their soil.

Rangrasiya mein rang kaun bharega aapke bina?

UNCHARTERED TERRITORY

And now I am treading into an absolutely unchartered territory... and probably will get lot of flak, kicks and solid bashing for this but I would still want to do it...

I know that the show has slumped several levels but still...

AND FINALLY:

I may be completely wrong but is there anybody who will agree with me that maybe we owe our actors/character at least a little if not a lot?... purely because we all claim to be their greatest fans...

Yes, the show did slump but am not too sure that our enthusiasm and love for the actors should go down, even by an ounce given that we all know how hard they are working to raise the TRPs..

I understand that Mr Ashish Sharma and Ms Sanaya Irani are well aware of what we discuss on this forum. And it's a tad disappointing to see that they might be aware of what we their fans are upto vis--vis their show, where they toil day and night so that we are entertained five days a week.

And I think many of us are in touch with Mr Sharma via social media. While he seems to be quite interactive Ms Irani touches base with her fans in her own way...

Am very well aware that we are all well independent minded individuals but would like to request all of you to give a thought to my request.

Please come back for us forumwasis and for the actors too and lets make our home a happy place once again.

We cannot abandon our Paro and Rudra at a crucial juncture like this ...when they embark upon their journey of eternal love and happiness.

Gosh... am done... ok.. my apologies to all of my fellow members if you find this post offensive or nonsense.. i am too sad with the departures of some of the members... will request the mods to close the thread asap you guys tell me.

I was introduced to Indiaforums during IPK days, but I never had the guts to post there. But slowly things changed and I began to see how many warm and beautiful people visit the forum and entertain us with their writing. I opened up and started interacting with all those amazing people. Now , its disappointing to see so many superb writers desert the forum / rarely visit. I Miss all the people you mentioned above(NB,SJ,MKM,Shreya, Princesssunara,Experimere,napstermonster etc).

Thank you for the much needed post 😊

Thank you for the post. Welcome to the forum

I agree the forum is not like how it used to be seeing as so many people have left but there's not much we can do about it :(
