Nice post.
For the past four weeks I have tried to remain neutral and not comment on behalf of anyone Dev or Giaa.
But now I just want to say that, let's not forget that this applies to all of us, whether we are Gia appreciators or Dev appreciators.
Personally for myself I tried to give Dev time to get into the character of Gopi, but from the beginning I connected with Gia as Gopi, and this took me a while, believe me, because I bashed Gopi when she was being played by Gia too, but since the education track I have always been more connected to the character of Gopi and next is Koki.
On this past Thursday, I decided it is not working for me at all, I don't connect with Dev as Gopi, and it is not her fault at all, she is working hard and trying her best.
My problem is the track and the way they are once again showing Koki. In the past even showing Koki the way they are showing now, I still stayed connected and that was because Gopi and Koki connection and for me that is the way GIa and Ruplji portrayed the characters.
This is one of my reasons to stop watching, but there is more.
That more is this forum. I can not come on the forum anymore to enjoy myself or relieve stress because there is no fun left, it is sucked out by people who are determined to attack one another.
I have friends who have moved on and are liking Dev, that is fine because they are more connected to the story or other actors or just watch the show and not really care one way or other.
That is fine, we each have our own views and connections, but to be not able to voice our views can get frustrating and it makes us angry.
I will say that initially I was very angry, and that is because things happened so fast, but then I calmed down. I did not react out of anger and started bashing the new girl, and it may be wrong but lot of our friends reacted out of anger, but then instead of supporting our friends we turned against them and started bashing Gia or Gia fans.
So the come to the point what I am saying is this applies to all of us.

I hope I didn't offend anyone, but I needed to say this.
My motto is to live and let live, but today I had to say something or else I was going to go crazy.
I have made many friends here and learned a lot things and I hate to see this be destroyed because we can't respect each other's views or opinions without bashing each other or the actors.
