So i was watching this regional award function organized by Star for their bengali channel(regional version of SPA) and the function fecilitated Mr.Ravi Ojha by actually bringing up on stage.The heads of the channel how important he has been for Star with his shows being a hit.Well his condition isn't actually good.He was brought in a wheel chair and wasn't able to talk,but nonetheless he was given a standing ovation by the audience and people sitting in the chair literally came up on the stage and started hugging him.đ Two leading actors from the industry and spoke about how Mr.Ravi Ojha has made them a movie star from a simple tv star.The actress spoke about how he has been a guide and a school of learning for her and whatever she is today is only because of him and another actor said that he is like the base of a pyramid for television where he is deeply rooted to the ground and helps people rise with his help to the top.I really liked the gesture showed by the channel towards him and the respect given to Mr.Ojha by the channels and audience alike.Everyone was crying seeing his condition and Mr.Ojha himself couldn't hold back his tears.

My point in bringing this post was to bring out a question,now that the show is ending.Hasn't SGP helped STAR even for once to climb the ladder of success?The show gave the channel a push in a slot no one could imagine...SGP came within the top 10 shows so many times..the TRPs for STAR..SO why this royal ignore from STAR from the begining of the show?Leave promotions and everything but if I remember last to last year,they actually felicitated the directors from all the top shows except for Mr.Ojha.Even during the award functions I see the head honchos mentioning a particular Rajan Shahi,Pearl grey..no problem..but why not a certain Mr.Ojha?I know they felicitated him last year but we all saw how he was differently felicitated from the others.đ„±
On a side note,this award function might have a lower budget than SPA,might have a less shimery stage,less known artists,poor performances,etc..but I swear they have the nominations which actually makes the award STAR Parivaar!They felicitate every single director,writer and team of ALL their shows on air,and even give special awards for the serials gone off air as a token of farewell.
