Sanaya's new show discussion thread! #3 [DT Clarification Note: 17] - Page 24

I liked what this man, Ajit Thakur, general manager of Like OK, said about his channel and his take on shows like LAT and ADHY... He knows shows like this cant do much good trp wise, still he wants to do it because he is ready to present something different ...

The book I was talking about is a story of a Scottish 17 year old Jennifer Merrick, who is sent to a convent because her people think she is a pigheaded, haughty and also responsible for her best friend's accidental death , which in real are rumors, for which one of her step brother is responsible .. and then from the abeeys(convent) the story of Jennifer starts...

So In actual jennifer is a strong, brave, courageous girl whose only dream is to be loved by her people, which ofcourse was ruined by her own step brother...

And she gets a chance to prove her people that she is not as the rumor says, and that chance was given by her father, who asks jenny to marry a king, who is double jenny's age just becoz he promises her father to join his forces to fight the english .. and jenny torn between her disgust for the man whom her father asked her to marry and her responsibility towards her people and her country, the same people who hate her and she wants to be loved by them,she agrees for the agreement ... but the same evening, she, along with her step-sister, is kidnapped by english, the same people whom her father is fighting ... and there begins the love-hate story of jenny and her captor, a warrior who is rumored to be barbarous ... but as jenny fought him, never giving up, being a courageous she was, the only thing which use to run in her mind was that-- she cant put her people to shame, cant put her country's pride down ... and she fought... fought with so much pride and courage that her own captor appreciated her , a appreciation she so badly wanted to hear from her people... but got from a man, who had kidnapped her, who was fighting her own people...

and her captor desired her... wanted her ... but tried to curb his desire and failed miserably ..Royce, jenny's captor, the warrior wanted her and the opportunity came knocking at his door -- Brenna, jenny's sister caught a coughing fit and jenny pleaded Royce to let her free as her remedy can be found only back home... and Royce's bargain was Jenny in exchange of letting Brenna free... and Jenny agreed, believing she is sacrificing her virginity for her sister's life, which is a noble deed in her God's eyes. ... and thus she lost her virginity to Royce and inturn Royce lost his heart to this chit of a girl..

But one day as they were strolling on the hill, Royce was called , as his King had send some message for him. and he, believing Jenny not to try to escape, was leaving her when they heard some disturbance in the bush and jenny saw who it was, it was her step brother william, her only brother who really loved her ,... but Royce din saw... and as he was about to inspect, Jenny gave him a soul touching kiss, a kiss she believed was to distract him ... but as she realized it will also be her good bye kiss to the man , who world thought to be barbarous , but he was never the one with her, and the man to whom she had lost her virginity and had the best time of her life, the kiss became as pure as her heart... and it touched Royce's straight in the heart , and he left her there alone ... smiling at her, mistaking her kiss to be her feelings for him, which was partially true too ...

And thus when he was asked to give over Jenny , as per order of his king , to the shrewd man who had came to take Jenny to his king , Royce refused to obey the orders ., and declared that he wished to marry Jenny ... and his all hope met dust when his men informed that Jenny had escaped ...

Royce felt betrayed and more than that he felt foolish to be duped by a chit of a girl ... and he became a laughingstock in his own country and thus his King ordered Royce to marry Jenny, a idea which almost felt like heaven to Royce a week ago, but felt like a punishment as he stood in the court of his King ...

They married ,both unwillingly, one crushed by his King's order and the other by her father's order .. but the passion they felt for each other , refused to die even then... many misunderstanding between them got cleared as they talked it out ... and Jenny, who had got a horrid welcome by the people , who were now hers, because of the belief that she had betrayed their lord , worked really hard to make the English people, who were now hers , to prove that she is loyal to them, and she did proved ...

But everything changed when Royce killed Jenny's stepbrother, William, the only brother who loved Jenny dearly ... and Royce was guilty, he believed he was guilty , but it was not intentional , it happened in a reflex ... and thus Jenny made her distance with Royce ... and her Father, tried to bend the situation in his favor by wooing jenny and making Royce a laughingstock in front of his own people ... which did became as at a joust, where warriors from 3 countries had participated and Royce had taken 12 challenges, which was picked by King of England and not him, ...out of 12 , 3 were Jenny's kinsmen; one her step brother and one her father ... and she, trapped in her father's sweet talk and misunderstanding Royce to kill her kinsmen again , decided to sit with her father, in front of her country's flag and made a laughingstock of her husband , just what her father wanted ...

But as Royce took the field with her kinsmen in front of her, she left the tournament, not wanting to see her people die in front of her eyes, killed by her own husband ...

And then her brother-in-law came barging in her chamber, demanding her to go and see her husband die in the field as he was not lifting his sword against her people, and Jenny ran, realizing that Royce had kept his promise of not hurting her kinsmen... On reaching , she found her husband unhorsed and was taking every wound by her kinsmen, just because he had promised her ...

And then she , in front of people of 3 country , went on her knees, and, despite of her husband asking her to not do this , she apologized in front of not only her people, but in front of people of 3 country ...

And then when she gave a heir to her people .. Royce took his beautiful wife, standing in the balcony, he picked her and made her wave at her people... the people who now loved her and respected her more than her husband... just the kingdom she wanted,... the kingdom of her dream... and Royce, her love, helped her to get her kingdom of her dream...

Phew... did it 😆

Actually what I liked about this story is, it was Jenny 's story along with her love story .. It was not only her story of getting a husband who loved her , but also a kingdom which she dreamnt of ...

I loved this story and really want the picture of Indian Television change, were get to see such heart touching story instead of the same saas-bahu sagas

Life OK is bringing in another show with a fantastic subject - Ajeeb Dastaan Hai Ye. How nervous or excited you are?

Ajeeb Dastaan Hai Ye is another show that makes me nervous. It is very different from what Ekta Kapoor has done before. But at the same time, it is a very important story to tell about women's right to economic independence. We will do it and let's see how it goes. I really love the way Ekta has put a lot of comedy in a very serious show and I think Sonali Bendre's casting is fantastic.

There are so many shows on Life OK that have gone unnoticed. So do you think Life OK is lacking behind in promotions?

No, that is not true. I think deliberately the shows like Laut Aao Trisha that we have done which are not for everyone. Life OK had two ways to go - One, to make shows like Star Plus or two, something very different. So when we do shows like Devon Ke Dev. Mahadev and Savdhaan India - India Fights Back, it works well. Shows like Laut Aao Trisha works but for limited urban premium audience. But still people say that Life OK jab bhi aata hai, kuch naya lata hai. So that is very important.

I guess Dare 2 Dance opened higher than Jhalak Dikhhlaa Jaa Season 7. Dare 2 Dance was very important for us but still we preferred bring something different unlike the regular studio set up. That principle of differentiation is important. Because we are different, our chances of failure are higher. Even if niche audience watch our shows, we are happy with that fact.

There are many shows in the pipeline. So is it that you are revamping the entire channel?

Yes! This Diwali we will revamp the channel with six new shows. It is a channel refresh but I believe if there is something big, we should talk about it all together. So we will talk about it together.

A few weeks ago, Life OK had beat Colors. What is your take over it?

For us it was just a validation that even by doing different content, we can be among the top three channels. But for me, it was never the rank of beating them as much as that we are doing it by doing Saavdhan India, Devon Ke Dev. Mahadev, Laut Aao Trisha and now Ajeeb Dastaan Hai Ye. That is the joy.

Is it the channel strategy to bring in Bollywood faces on television with your shows?

No it is not the strategy; it is just about getting new people. If you see Laut Aao Trisha, there is Bhagyashree Patwardhan but besides there are a lot models. Depending on the story, we will get different people for the show. I think the entire cast are very good looking actors on television but we want to bring them together and make big statements. It is not about Bollywood; it is just about getting a good casting done for all the shows.

Lastly, any message to your audience...

To all the India-Forums fans who are watching Life OK - thank you so much. I know you love some shows but hate some shows too. But no show of Life OK can be ignored. Thank you and keep building us.
