I would just like to point out here that while I understand your enthusiasm for this show and the high amount of interest this show has generated, I also understand how you feel when you are a young girl in your teens and early twenties, esp when you see tender romantic scenes. However, and this is important, do remember that this is only a serial, and when this is over, the actors go on to doing other shows and get on with their lives. If you allow this show to take over your lives and interfere with your studies, you may not get another chance to take care of your studies. Along with your studies, you must remember that your parents have invested a lot of money and hopes in you (by the way, this is the same lecture I have given my own sons, time and again, when they spent more time watching games on TV and getting upset because their favorite teams did not win!) and unlike the actors and actresses in these shows, they and you do not get a second chance to make up for poor grades and the money invested is lost forever. This is the only reason I spoke up and asked Hema to remember that this is only a serial, TA and Thulasi are not real, but your studies are definitely real!
You are all welcome to call me ma, or aunty, or even Paati, if you so choose! I do not mind!
