This Is How Star Justified This Track And An Ode To The Show (EDITED)

I called Star twice today.

The first time; the guy on call didn't even bother as I spoke to him about YHM, the creatives, the rudeness, actor bashing, crude language, the means by which surrogacy is dealt with, communal surrogacy, perspective, portrayal of Indian men and women in general media, portray of Star and #NayiSoch, infertility, the show's base, the social stigmas, tracks, infrequency, abrupt ends and so many other things. Sadly, all he got was that the viewers hated the concept of surrogacy being shown.

I called them once again, minutes after the first time, put for my views once again this time coupled with last night's recap, personalizing, generalizing, viewer connect and so much guilt that there was me and a hundred other viewers talking to and even screaming at a man who probably never watched the show or even heard of the tracks. He was a sweetheart but all he had to say to me was that, 'Would Raman have to ask Ishita for consent; would she have said yes? He just wants her happy!' And I asked him if this was what moral values meant to him and if he had to do the same to his wife. When I quoted last nights precap and Ishita's insecurity and asked him what if it was his sister or his friends who had the same place as Ishita is in now; round around the table we came to a conclusion that he would ask her to get treatments and it was because she couldn't carry a child full term.

After being a part of a campaign, insulted by the so called creatives' and so on and so forth; I myself feel insulted to call myself a part of this show or this forum where we discuss it. It's not even social responsibility anymore. I am done.

The first one had to say that the decisions were taken by a team of members and were just, one of them disconnected calls and rudely behaved to a friend, another told Kavya that they were working on it and the list goes on.

If the general mentality of them is that we care rebelling against the concept of surrogacy on national television and not the means; a man who has two biological kids can apparently justify the means he used and has no reasoning for a third - I have nothing to say.

I told him of my career path and how doctors were portrayed in the show when Ishita herself is one; and they had nothing to say.

I am done.

I was angry, hurt and felt wronged but now I'm done. There is nothing more to this.

I told him that I come from a family that looks down on Hindi tele, a father who would rightly disown me for what he considers trash and that I would fall down in the eyes of my friends if I had to acknowledge Star. I told him I wouldn't threaten to unsubscribe because people do it and I care less because he gets nothing from my end or my community. That people are revealing plots to general audiences who themselves quit after listening to it. I told him that the viewers who connect to the show once related to it and now feel insulted.

I feel blank. No anger or anything but just obliged to tell all my friends here that I am done with the show and the forum. Thank you for being there for me, for loving me and for holding me close but this is where it ends.

I cannot be a part of, watch or follow a show where I fail to connect to their views if not their matter.

You have hope; I've lost mine.

As an only girl child of parents who went through various troubles to bring me to life; right from my mother being on complete bed rest for nine whole months to my father supporting, caring for and loving her through the worst. As the only daughter of a man who never once judged, criticized, mocked or demanded that my mother give him a male heir; I find it hard and disrespectful to follow this show any longer. We all have our demons that connect us as a family and as viewers to the show and it is heartbreaking to see the makers ever so callously demean them.

If it's Meherbaan; I will post it on Wattpad in a few months. Please tell me if you want the same character names because I, for once, want to change them.

If it's Scars; please tell me if you need closure because writing it itself has made me gain mine.

And a big thanks to Boo who listened to me rant at 3 am for hours as I analyzed, dissected and found myself over this show.

I believe this is goodbye until the day I find something to connect myself to this show and to you all over again.

Thank you, once again.

Kiara..yes when I called SP person told me they receiving many complaints and they are working on it... But what they told you is totally unacceptable... why they are playing with viewers emotions.. they should give us a straight forward answer .. rather than giving us hopes And then breaking them... i really appreciate the efforts ppl making to stop this nonsense.. disgusting track... i just hope SP listen to fans.. because I don't have much hopes from PH... i hope ppl who making so much efforts get there due and SP listen us...

Kiara hopefully things will get better... And if not then still we can keep it touch with each other... Continue your write ups... kiara 😊
