Dear all,

Firstly, thank u for being such SC loyalists whether in praise or in criticism. Team appreciates both immensely.

Secondly, no kumud won't lose her memory... :)))

Thirdly, no we can't make sc kumud meet... We're doing it for the sake of fans such as you all. We want to bring home this show to you all for as long as possible.

Fourthly no plans of an sc kusum marriage as of now.

We're keyed into all reactions... Every day. However we do believe in the Talent of the core broadcasting team who aggressively fathers all kinds of data before deciding on a story.

Finally, crispy bytes:- extremely innovative... The creative team awaits this post every day.

Keep the faith!

Team SC

Dear Creatives Team,

Thank you for this post. If it is a sincere intention on your part to initiate interactive dialogue, then this gesture is very much appreciated and applauded.

However, please don't attempt to pass the buck to us viewers here. We too hope and wish every sort of longevity for SC, but if the CV's have indeed been keeping a finger on CB's pulse, they would be well aware of the CBians credo by now: quality over quantity. We would opt for a dignified end, over prolonged typical TVT torture anyday. So please don't feel you have to work with a tasteless chewing gum of a narrative/master track by its used-by-date on our account. We would respect you more if you dared to make a statement rather than bow your heads down in front of the prevailing grammar.

Sudha, I am obviously not commenting on his determination to stay fit, (which is inspirational) but his willingness to professionally "display on demand" in a "reality show". There was a stage in his career when he did the "Mujhe Kanhaiya kaha karo" type routine as well... I respect him all the more for what he has gone through to get where he is now.

Was simply expressing an opinion as a GR "admirer" that he has evolved so much as n actor that the NB role is really below his stature now, even if it appeals to him personally. 😊 He calls it a stress-buster, well what can I say! Hope he gets better quality stress-busters... I want to see him get really great acting roles...😃

Ivy, if I may take this further, they are missing a grand opportunity to grow a different kind of TV audience for an Indian show. Many of us who watch SC dont follow another Indian show at all, or if we do, not with half the enthusiasm we had/have for this one.

In the beginning, it was different for various reasons, the SLB cast, SLB aesthetics, including an outstanding set, an impeccable literary source, Great writing on a daily basis, and the direction.

By changing the mix for gaining TVT's, SP/PH have reduced it to run-of-the-mill. And lost/tortured a great share of the original viewers. If SP had not given in to short-term-ism, and promoted it more consistently it would probably have paved the way for growing a whole new audience because people do appreciate quality. It may even have been a fore-runner for other literary adaptations on a limited-episode basis, not as long-running soap-sagas with the sort of twists and turns we are facing now.

Perfectly elaborated and encapsulated, Happy Dost! This being an 'SLB production' and everything that stood for, plus the adaptation of a great work of literature meant that a different and more discerning, literature-oriented 'elite' viewership had already been snared. If only the creatives team could have had the drive and determination to cultivate that viewership, the payoff would have been momentous in terms of pure creative & literary appreciation. It is one thing to join an already established canon, but it is quite another to be the one to have first established that canon. SC had that honor within excruciating close reach.

I agree with you. For a change I would have loved to see them fight the issues together. Here we are going round and round the mulberry bush. We had already done that. What is the use of all this trust and love between them if they are again going for a seperation. We are not seeing a story of saints, we are seeing two human souls who love each other deeply, whose bond is so strong that nothing can break it. And since both have again acknowledged their love we want to see that bond, not another sacrificial separation.
