I sensed something was wrong when they made sai state those surrogacy laws and made the doctor say she'll have them arrested etc. I knew it was being done for the repercussions that they're going to face. It was just a formality. Just saying is not enough, just stating the laws is not enough. Following the laws is.
Another potential reply to Starplus for the complaint that people can help edit-
This reply is highly unsatisfactory.
All you have done is point out what has happened in the show. Yet you have not recognized WHY the audience is upset with this track.
Do not insult the intelligence of the audience.
We consume enough content across media- tv, films , webshows to recognize that the problem is not about showing characters that are psychotic, criminal etc. The problem is the messaging. The problem is the behavior of the "positive" character, Male lead. You are building him up to be a righteous IPS officer, yet actually showing him as a spineless, pathetic man. He is not "Grey" shaded as the makers claim but rather he is a stupid and insensitive jerk on the show. Whats worst is that he never gets called out for it. Rather he is projected as some sort of "mahaan" personality by makers.
The audience is agitated because we have seen prior precedent of GHKPPM brushing away crimes casually. There have barely any repercussions shown for crimes committed by various characters. So our displeasure or complaint is not based on a "singular episode"! It is IBF format that requires us to mention a specific date/time and episode in a complaint. However our complaint is based on totality of everything that has happened in the close to 600 episodes we have seen. We know the arc of every character and we know just HOW MANY TIMES things have been casually ignored on this show either with a rushed apology, completely skipping over the topic or worse- making the victim apologize to the perpetator of wrongs and the person who is wrong is celebrated.
Here are just a FEW of the many examples!
1. Bhavani barely apologized for crimes that should have landed her in jail when she separated a baby from her parents and gave up the child without knowledge of the parents. Just because one parent located the child doesn't minimize the crime committed!
2. Patralekha's crimes of fabricating evidence, forging documents during Devi-Pulkit track never even came to light.
3. And Virat was guilty of sheltering a naxalite and dereliction of duty but instead he was glorified. He never apologized to Sai for hiding things from her and pushing them to the brink of divorce. Instead Sai was made to beg him for forgiveness and he was given a clean chit for clear violation of his duty as a police officer because his "intentions were good". He broke laws. He violated direct orders from his superior and he NEVER got punished suitably and neither apologized to Sai. He only said sorry for saying he is breaking ties bit not for everything he put her through. The grief, the angst, the loneliness. She was shunned by everyone. And all was just easily brushed away in 2-3 episodes and a rushed confession/remarriage track. Yet we bore it all patiently because we were invested in Sairat coming together, waiting for their emotional intimacy, but we got nothing!
You take 100 episodes to build a problem so big and then pretend to solve it in 1-2 episodes. How is that fair or appropriate messaging?! So we as audience have had enough!!!
We are complaining about the treatment of a sensitive subject like surrogacy in the most crass and insensitive manner.
We are complaining about the fact that there is NO indication that the perpetrators of the crime will be punished.
Just stating the laws about how Pakhi is NOT a candidate is of NO use when she succeeds in her motives, goes unpunished for her clearly criminal acts and behavior. The lost of her crimes is LONG!
There is NOT a single character in the show except Sai that has raised their voice against the blatant flouting of laws - infact it has been enabled an IPS officer no less!
You cannot show any nonsense in the name of "drama quotient". Drama needs balance. This show only has regressive behavior and toxicity.
Instead of placating us with such an insincere reply, it would do you well to identify WHY audience is upset. We invest a lot of time into the show, we get attached to the story and the characters. We watch it to feel good. We keep waiting patiently hoping for better tracks. But the garbage you serve in the name of drama is only anxiety, stress, anger and hypertension inducing. It is NOT enjoyable or engaging to watch
We implore the makers of GHKPPM and the channel to give the audience written assurance that the future track will have justice served. Pakhi should be sent to jail and everyone who enabled her should repent and beg for forgiveness for a good period of time. They cannot employ the formula of a 1-2 episode of whitewash, crocodile tears and fake apology with no real ramifications.
If it takes 100 episodes to establish Pakhi as a criminal, then how can you not show her go to jail at the end of it all. How can everything be wrapped in 2 episodes with some forgiveness nonsense. That suggests that the makers/channel are endorsing wrongful behavior and minimizing what should be the consequences of such acts.
It is important that you give proper closure and messaging. You have a social responsibility in addition to this "larger than life" drama you are delivering.
Please understand that " drama" and "twists" dont always have to be illegal, immoral, cringe worthy or toxic. If you can't think of plots that are not regressive or toxic , just shut the damn show.
This is to me...
P to hai hi criminal. My point of complaint was V as an IPS allowed this. Very smartly they have not addressed that. Pura blame P pe daal diya hai.
Also, Sai has not accepted it and will get to the bottom of things. Will that negate the crime her husband committed??? Will she punish him since he is guilty???
The response pitches SaiRat on one side and P on other whereas the episode looked like Virakhi on one side and Sai on other.
It's nothing worthwhile except for the hope that maybe because of this P wont be pregnant in the end.
But I suggest we keep the pressure on, unless they feel we have forgotten.
"Star plus will never air content that misrepresents due process" the audacity to say this 🤣🤣🤣
Established antagonist 😱😱😱
Star made a mistake she is the freaking female lead! Star needs to apologize to her and the ph for this statement
Behen, when are we doing our next protest?!
We need to keep the pressure up so that they dont feel like we as audience are weak and have given up.
You are really active on SM . Please could you keep the momentum going about these issues-
1. No to garbage content.
2. Punish pp severely and kick her out of the show
3. Make V repent, and show some spine, some sensitivity and genuine "love" not this
4. Only Sai has right on HER child- whether she gives birth /choose surrogate or adopts.
5. Pp cannot have any attachment/claim on Sairat baby
6. End virat pp yaani devar-bhabhi cringe forever.
Its so annoying to see TRP stay stable and the makers try to trick/hoodwink audience.
If they cant deliver what audience wants then show should shut down.

no point appealing to star or ph. I will continue to file complaints with ibf every single day, and have asked my other moots to as well. It is better to pressurize them to get channel to change, the only way now cause Star will hoodwink us as always. Like elska said we should email child and women welfare ministry as well. The email Id is available on Google, smriti Irani is the cabinet minister and as far as I have read she has always taken up action against these things. So this is all we all have to do, make our voice heard to those in power because what they are showing is wrong even for fiction. The only way left in my eyes now
This was expected. I'm ROFL at their juvenile conduct and games. And they supposed to a big name. They think the people here are fools who just can't read them.
Look at the entire pattern/sequence
They took more than 7 days to respond. Definitely thinking on the response. But there is more to it. They were waiting and watching. First lying low and slyly playing their games in the background and gauging the response to it. Any attempts at countering the audience at that point would have backfired. Responding early would have meant aggravating an already angry audience. So they waited till things calmed before responding, assuming this would end things.
Look at the timing of the response. Friday..the day after the TRP. Market research done and pros and cons analysed. Just like the precap "Chaal". Gave lollipops, lured away a significant percentage of the upset audience with it. See how some had fallen for the Sairat scenes and precap. They completely forgot about the actual cause.
Now the response. Well thought through based on the over a week long analysis, scripted, copy pasted to everyone. How come everyone got the responses together? Were they accumulating all of it, and laying eggs on it till now? They haven't even bothered to see how each complaint would differ in some way. While all our complaints were broadly on the same grounds, we had them phrased and raised with our personal views. They have not bothered to even notice that. Simply copy pasted with some minor edits here and there. How unprofessional! They have made this as some child play. Is this how such big organisations work? Pathetic. Do they not know that these will be shared and the similarity in response will be discussed in open forums? What does that even say about SP, their professionalism and the importance they give to audience and their views?
I still believe that we should not take this and give up. Twitter people should put this up and let the others know about the copy pasted response. How they are trying to fool us by giving the same response to everyone. This issue should be picked up everywhere. And we should be writing back on this email as well.
@Elska and there was someone I can't recall who had posted this chat history with a lawyer who can tell us the loopholes in their response. Please continue this discussion on PMs. Hit before they know it.

It was this person, we should take her help and ask her to discuss more with a lawyer.
I think complaining to smriti irani is a good remedial ...she always takes action against this kind of things..
