Finally my inbox will clear, the threats will stop, my twitter account will be unclogged, the spamming will be history... or so I hope. After all, the behavioural patterns of these fans at best is dangerously unpredictable and highly volatile. They are like none I've ever encountered. They know what they want and they will go to war in a heartbeat to get it. Their militancy is only compounded by their sheer number. Luckily it's not me they are after (my fans are of course much more civilised). Their affection (if you can call it that) is solely reserved for the doctors of the TV soap Dil Mil Gaye.

I can't quite remember the exact moment the insanity started. Think it was a harmless enough request to get Jenifer Winget and Karan (some asked for Wahi and others for Singh Grover) on the couch. I ignored it because frankly, I had no idea who they were - shouldn't have said that, I now fear for my life- fans, hold your horses or guns as the case might be, I now not only know everything about them but also have firsthand experience of their popularity. So after being spammed and threatened for the millionth time I decided to watch the medical soap opera and extend an invitation to the lead triangle.
The drama didn't end there. A date, time and venue was fixed. Jenifer and Karan Singh Grover (who's abs and attitude on KKK3 were the only thing better than Milind Soman's skimpy Speedos) were going to have the hot seat on the couch. I started my research and also began watching Dil Mil Gaye every night. It is scary what they put out on television. These young gorgeous people are meant to be surgeons and doctors and yet there are no scenes of them practising medicine or treating patients. When they do they prescribe paracetamol- come on, even my driver knows better than that! Then the same 4 background extras walk in excruciating slow motion in a loop while a never ending love scene takes place in the hospital corridors. The piece de resistance is the lab with pink, yellow, green and blue liquid bubbles in odd shaped bottles - who's blood or urine are they supposedly testing, aliens?
It's no surprise that the show is being pulled off due to low ratings. The contradiction lies in the fact that the show boasts of a cast more loved and popular than any other. Fans are so involved with the characters that they can't separate fiction from reality and are very emotional about the on screen love triangle or is it quadrangle now. Dr Armaan is considered small screen's Shah Rukh Khan. But Shah Rukh has never nor will ever do what he did to me. KSG aka Dr Armaan pulled out hours before we were meant to record saying he's not in the mood. I was shocked at the unprofessional behaviour. But then in stepped baby faced Dr Sid, the other Karan and saved the day. Apparently, Karan and Karan are best of buddies and love each other and so he didn't mind.
I was just grateful that I didn't have to cancel. But then the fan attack started. They abused me and wrote me off as if I was committing hara-kiri by going on with the show without KSG and not physically forcing him on the couch. All I have to say is watch the chemistry between Wahi and Winget and you won't miss the man with the abs as much. And please can you call off the cyber grenades - I did what I could.
Tune into Headlines Today this Saturday 23rd October at 7.30pm and Sunday at 12.30pm for your fill of your favourite TV stars and then please get off my back.

Poor Koel Puri. She's facing the wrath of the psycho and disturbed Kay Ess Gee fans just because she criticized him. His fans are threatening to kill her and send goons after her. They've spammed her Facebook page and have raped her Twitter page. Along with that, they've made hate groups for her too and those are REALLY bad. I read some comments on one of them last night and was disgusted.
Find it hard to believe? Check it out yourself lol.
And while you guys are at it, check out these two topics too -

^ The first page is nearly 100 pages, but trust me it's worth reading. Some of the comments from KSG fans will make you say, "what the eff?!" while some other comments will make you question humanity in general and just make you laugh.š
The second topic is a more serious one, but it's a good one. It'll show you to which extent fans can fall for an actor who barely knows they exist.
So my question is, is this really the right thing to do from fans? It isn't something normal, right? Where should one draw the limits? Koel Puri has had far bigger and better celebs on her show before and has not even spared them with her questions. So who the hell is KSG? I feel bad for her, actually. Poor woman probably has realized that even the thought of having him on her show is the biggest mistake of her life. Forget Koel Puri, I think nobody deserves to be given such a reaction, especially when it isn't their mistake.
