Dear Amal,

Thank you for writing to us. That you have taken the trouble to write and express your thought is a real indication of the fact that you care for Star Plus, the shows and the characters that have become part of your life. We truly and deeply value this bond.

We had to discontinue the association with Jiaa Manek due to unprofessional conduct from the actor's side.

We understand your connect with Jiaa Manek and the life that she brought to the character- Gopi Bahu. But her new avatar on the competition show was not in keeping with the character we created with Gopi.

We had two options - to stop the show altogether or go ahead with another talented actress. The decision has been as difficult for us as it has been for you.

But, we have chosen to go ahead in the best interest of the show.

We will strive to ensure that the show will continue to engage you and be a part of your daily dose of entertainment on Star Plus.

We look to your continued support and viewership.

Warm Regards,
