Glad you made this post OP...my heart has been so heavy ever since I had heard /read about the possibility of this show coming to an end...Moh Moh , Aru, Mukhi, Armu, Chammo have become such an integral part of life . I have no idea how to fill that void once this show ends..I was being optimistic--thinking such a great show will atleast continue till end of 2017, giving ample time to the CVs/ creatives to develop and finish each track( Armu love story, Dharmi n Rami being caught n punished, Saanvi baby, Mastana and his lady love track etc etc)..It is just so shocking that it had to be wrapped up so abruptly..I feel angry, beyond pissed and furious at the TRP aunties and the pathetic mindset of Indian audience; helpless at not being able to get an extension ( I had emailed );heartbroken that such a beautiful show must end and there will be no more Armu .
I am not really a TV person, don't get hooked on to shows easily and with time being a constraint I havent watched/followed any show since 2008..I watched moh moh from the 4th week ( but binge watched n caught up within 2-3 days) We usually put on the tv during the weekend for an hour or so but didnt catch any promos of this show even when the TV was on..I am usually a one show person and that too I usually avoid Hindi serials because of their sometimes convoluted storylines and cringeworthy twists and turns...Something has to be speak to me about the show for me to give it 20-30 mins of my really busy day...
I started watching a show ( another channel) sometime in fall of 2016 ( My parents were visiting from India and they follow a couple of show) and liked it for a few months but lost interest in that too..One of my IF pals mentioned about moh moh on that forum..Boy , am I glad she did! My mom is visiting me this year too and I showed her 1-2 episodes of moh moh..SHE LOVED IT and said this is such a beautiful deviation from that bakwaas Naagin , multiple marriages,souten, illegitimate child that they show on TV. She called my dad and said he could give this show a try..She adores the character - Mukhi ..She was so taken aback too when i told her the show ends this August 18. She was like haan India mein people dont like clean shows like this where a man respects women or women are independent .. only when a man marries multiple times, has fathered 3-4 kids with different women, FL is crying buckets and is bound by pati dharam and is like a doormat will the show be loved by the masses..
Now ,coming back to moh moh..I live in the New York city suburbs and commute to the city for work..I am on IF usually during my 75 mins commute..I love reading what everyone has to say and not to mention the FFs. I usually swipe in by 9 ( 6:30 pm IST) and have back to back meetings till 1 pm.I will be starving by then but even before I go out to get lunch I will check If for the WU and then watch the episode online..on days I have a 30 mins gap between 10-11, I get to watch the episode a little earlier..Just to make sure people to dont stop by my cubicle for idle chitchat I will have my official headphones on to show I am on a concall..😛😆.. I am on IF again on my evening commute back home..After putting my kid to bed , finishing off chores I usually sit down with a glass of wine at 10pm to watch moh moh on sling tv..I may or may not watch it again or repeat a few Armu scenes..😊..I look forward to my lunch break at work and 10 pm ...I am so attached to the show ( thankyou makers for the wonderful concept and progressive thinking) and the benchmark is so high that I am not sure if any other show will be able to live up to it..
I just realized I rambled...but glad to put it here because I know you all get it..
