We are not going to make any changes in the story line because of backlash: Pehredaar Piyaa Ki makers

Vijaya Tiwari| TNN | Aug 14, 2017, 05:21 PM IST
TV show Pehredaar Piya Kihas landed into controversy because of its story line. The show has been receiving backlash from audiences and celebrities alike. However, the writer and producers of the show Shashi and Sumeet Mittal are not in a mood to make any changes in the story line or plot of the show.

The show is about the marriage of a 9 year-old-boy and 18 year-old girl. The show has received a lot of criticism for showing honeymoon and first night scenes. A petition has been filed seeking a ban on the show.

"I don't think I have shown anything wrong or I am promoting anything that shouldn't be done so there is no question of making any changes. As a writer, sometimes we do get tempted to show attraction between the leads, but I haven't done anything like. We are not going to change anything," said Shashi Mittal.




When asked where did the germ of the idea came from, she said, "I was very young around 11-12 years, I had read a short I don't remember where, but I really liked it and it stayed with me. I really loved the story because of the Rajasthani background and the girl's journey. It showed how the girl and boy become friends despite of the age gap. She is 18 year old and he is 9. I liked the innocence and friendship between the two. What I also liked was that a girl who gets scared just by looking at a cockroach, can actually go ahead and protect the life of this kid.


On being asked, how she handles the criticism coming her way, Shashi said, "Till the time the audience actually watching it don't say anything I don't have the problem. When my mother and my own family and friends are fine watching it I don't see a problem with anyone else. If my family tells me, whatever you are showing in Diya Aur Baati Hum is not good I get alert because I feel they are my audience. If my own mother is comfortable and saying you have not showed anything which you should be ashamed of, I am ok. In Pehredaar Piya Ki case people who have watched the show have not given me any negative feedback."


Talking about the opposition that the show is receiving from other TV celebrities, Shashi feels, "I still feel most of the celebrities who are reacting have not seen the show they are just speaking on the basis of what is going around in the social media. If a celebrity has genuiely watched the show and feels the show is nonsence I will appreciate it as everyone is entitled to have his or her opinion. There have been celebrities like Shraddha Arya who have praised the show and she said her mother really liked the show."


Are you planning to show ageneration leap in the show, "No we are not as the journey of Diya and Ratan has just started. The crux of the story is that she is protecting his life and that's what we are showing. Once he grows up the love story angle can be developed and he can protect his own life."


Reacting on the petition sent to the I & B Ministry, Shashi and Sumeet said, "We haven't got any such information. It is a very hypothetical question to answer that will we shut down the show if we get a negative feedback from I & B Ministry. Let the situation come we will see."

As long as it fills their pockets, they don't care. Morally bankrupt souls. Wonder what social evil they might portray as "innocence" in their next show.

Its innocent show.  I watched almost all episodes to date and there is nothing inappropriate.  The kid retains his innocence and Diya has not done anything inappropriate.
