I'm not one of those who likes to rant. However as a dedicated follower we can point out a few things about a show we deeply care about.I'll try to keep it as crisp as possible because frankly who has the time?
  • THIS is THE USP of your product:



    but yesterday and today they appeared for a total of 5-7 mins. I don't know who are you sampling but your target audience cares ONLY about the Mohabattein of these two and not Ashok Mihika.


  • Coming to Mihika. That character was one of the most beautifully sketched characters of the show. A young, spunky, INTELLIGENT and on your face kinda modern girl...Something happened ever since the show added the 7:30 P.M. slot. Her brain either got transplanted or missing during the move. Or probably she was put on the butchering block of TRP drama. It's just a shame that a story whose side characters were so uniquely sketched, would be so reckless in changing one of its major side characters like this. For what? A jump in TRP scale...but why the rush when you have something good already going for you...your strong writing! Why can't you believe in your product as much as we, the audience who has been with the show for months, do?


  • We've been seeing a lot of Nayi soch ...SP has a lot of other shows to promote that...and if we want to experience that we can tune in to those shows. Please give us a break and give us back the YHM we fell in love with...and what this serial is about : pal pal badhti mohabbatein of Raman and Ishita

Again sorry about the rant, but not about the frustrations expressed.


P.S. I have tweeted this to anyone I know who is related to YHM team...probably they don't care😆..but for my own peace of mind, I did. 😉😆

First thank you for this much needed post and thanks for the collage, I am gonna stare at this and try to forget the episode

G I do not believe in rants either because they are counter productive and invariably lead to foul mood, so I am gonna use this space to thank the team for the things that they have done right so far and the potential that this story holds.

1) Thank you for showing that motherhood is not connected with biology and lineage, it is a feeling that is indescribable, it can only be felt. As an audience we feel that pious bond of motherhood when we see Ishita-Ruhi on screen, the warmth of their relationship reached our hearts instantly. So thank you for giving us this beautiful bond between a mother and a daughter.
-I urge the makers to continue showing this bond and the TRP will follow, if we wanted to watch a run of the mill show I have a thousand other options.

2) Thank you for not showing a typical saas-bahu relationship, it is endearing to see Toshiji-Ishita relationship, there is understanding, their a mutual respect for each other and the sense of gratitude that Toshiji has towards Ishita for taking care of her son and turning his life around is exemplary.
-CVs continue on this route to show a MIL standing by her DIL in times of crisis, not will the TRP follow your lead but you will be setting an example for the society by portraying a MIL-DIL relationship in a positive night. This is nayi soch that you showed us on screen do not abandon it now.

3) Thank you for showing Ishita as an independent working women, I applaud your strength of showing Indian women in glory, we are women who excel at work and raise our family.
-Please continue with this, show us an Ishita that is fiercely independent and is not dependent on her husband for financial matters. You want TRP show financial stress between this couple that is reality, a lot of couples battle finances and money decisions. This is nayi soch, you gave us realistic characters now give them realistic storyline.

4) Thank you for giving us a brilliant supporting cast, it makes this show so much more fun to watch, you gave us Mihir a man who stuck by his BIL and opposed his own sister, you gave us a feisty Mihika who was never afraid of speaking her mind, you gave us Bala a voice of reason and a support system for the Iyers, he became their son and not SIL, you gave us Mr. Bhalla and his immense love for his DIL, you gave us Toshi ji.
-Do not ruin characters for TRP by showing nonsensical plots of bedding people to prove them wrong. Also have all these characters be true themselves, have Mihika expose Ashok but not by luring him sexually. What kind of message are we sending here, that all women can do is lure men using their sexuality and that men are dumb enough to get lured. Why demean both the genders. Continue all these character growths and see how it transforms your show. Also sex is not a taboo so let's not make it one, do not have Mihika marry Ashok because she supposedly slept with him, sex is not a reason for marriage, here is nayi soch, have Mihika file charges of sexual assault and using the media to expose Ashok. Sex does not equal marriage.

5) Thank you for giving us an unique and mature love story, this is the crux of your show. Thank you for showing two imperfect people falling in love oh so perfectly with each other. There are aren't enough words to describe this beautiful relationship, you guys drew these characters so oh so beautifully that we are hooked to your show. There is so much depth in this union and so far we have loved their journey. This is nayi soch to show a 'barren' woman fill all the voids in a man's life who supposedly has everything.
-Do not ruin their characters by bringing in stupid conflicts, they are a team so have them grow together and battle every problem they face together. Show their journey of progress not just a couple but as individuals. Show Ishita talking about her insecurities of not having a child, show his insecurities of feeling inadequate at making a marriage work. Show their struggle of juggling their extended families, work and their life as a couple together, show real problems a modern couple faces everyday to make their marriage work. The work pressure getting too much, responsibilities of kids, social responsibilities, complacency in a marriage etc. Nayi soch is staying together and being each other's support irrespective of the problems.

Okays I have done enough rambling. I'll stop! I love this show and I hope and pray they give me enough reasons to keep on loving it. 😆

The following blessing is for G's post above and not mine, I am not that conceited yet. 😆

Thank you, for the beautiful collage (despite the frustration).
Thank you, for allowing this space so that we can all vent.

I literally only watched the last, what was it, a minute and thirty seconds today? If that?

When I first saw the promos for this show, I knew this was one I wanted to watch (which is a big deal since I do not watch Indian television) because, true to word, when it began, it was indeed a 'nayi soch'.

I was won over by the idea of a single father and a mature, independent, level-headed girl falling in love with his daughter - loving her like her own.

The show started logically, it was mature, and fresh. And while, I do appreciate the social messages, and the way they've tackled some of the issues such a dysfunctional family faces (the Raman-Adi scene being case in point), it can't go unnoticed that the show has lost the original charm, especially after the time-slot change.

Now the story seems inconsistent, illogical, and cliched.

I wouldn't even mind the lack of Raman-Ishita (and Ruhi who has literally been nonexistent in the story line for the past few weeks), if the supporting characters hadn't been reduced to being cliched and impractical.

It cannot be denied that there are moments of sheer brilliance in the writing, but even those moments get lost in the midst of all the unnecessary, over-the-top drama. For weeks now, I have been fast-forwarding any scene that was not Raman-Ishita +/- the kids.

It simply does not make sense that strong, independent, intelligent characters have been reduced to self-sacrificing, helpless morons. Let's face it, real life doesn't work like that...and you'e not fooling anyone.

What I fail to understand is, as you said, why the need for cheap tricks when the writing has always been so strong. It would make sense to change the time slot, character sketches and plot if the show wasn't doing well, but that was not the case. This show has always had an incredible fan-base, and was breaking all kinds of records at the 11 PM slot - which was not at all expected.

I guess they let the fans appreciation and overwhelming support get to their head...and, to show their gratitude, decided they should slowly take away every element of the show which drew us in in the first place.
'Nayi Soch' indeed!

***

Now, to end this on a positive note, for the miniscule IshRa scene we got today...and for your beautiful edit:

"Love is that condition in which the happiness of the other person is essential to your own."
- Robert A. Heinlein.

Love,
P
