Bravo for a rave on positivity..something which is void of in this forum..if one creates a drop of negativity they embark on a continuity journey taking many with them, in simpler words no aspect of the show makes them happy unless there is ROMANCE 6 days a week for the entire length of episodes!!

Extent of absence from this forum has started to become a norm for me, the reason being building of stress from just looking at post titles on the forum, the vibe is quite strong from the title that I maneuver away from such topics..another thing which actually embarrasses me is the outburst on actors on a certain social networking site, it's disgusting to witness

As stated by yourself, a drama can not be sustained on purely romance..it will most certainly not survive in the TRP race and will face a premature axe..a successful drama needs a balanced quotient of drama, romance and comedy..void of any one of these will result in disaster..I comply with the fact that the younger generation only want romance but looking at a broader perspective this drama is watched by all ages and therefore it needs to cater for audience of all ages, the makers are doing just that..therefore I see it as selfishness that people throw a mild tantrum in wanting their ways (I'm sorry to readers who find this harsh, but it is the genuine truth based on immaturity I witness)

The arrival day for TRP's is much awaited and when it's not as expected, people are angered..questions buzz in their heads 'why is it so low?' and blah blah blah..but that's the result of makers giving into demanding whims..I empathise with them for digressing away from romance for a while and adding in spice..they want their show to survive and want to up them dipping ratings which I have no qualms with..oh and when them TRP's rise just watch out for all sorts of justifications 😆

Hypocrisy is what may be thrown towards me after many read this..yes I too do create topics which weigh on the negative side more than the positive..but I beg to differ, I bring forth my view in a constructive manner..as long as the discussion is healthy then I see no harm

I was an ardent fan of Pretty Little Liars and Vampire Diaries..yes both the shows tested my patience and made my blood boil at certain junctures in the story..some things didn't make sense yet I still managed to search for positivity in them..if your a loyal viewer then why not stay that way instead of digressing in and out of chosen themes..the word 'fan' I still can't quite take a grasp on, doesn't being a fan mean sticking through the good and bad? Then why the roaring!

One thing you have failed to mention is the fact that this is a daily show unlike American shows which are weekly, Tashan-E-Ishq actors shoot around the clock to produce content for us to watch and not appreciating this gesture of theirs is unfair..gruelling hours of shooting and tiredness is witnessed on Jasmin and Sidhants face, so being unappreciative of their efforts is very egocentric..an apologetic mention, if you want good content 100% of the time then it's time for you to shoot off and find another show

Thanks for this post it really helped LOL cause I'm one of those that needs to chill 😆 I tend to get very invested in my OTP and when things are going pretty shitty for them I make the poor CVS my target when really, at the back of my mind I have always comprehended that at the end of the day they need to SELL their show. By whatever means possible.

So I can sit throw a contrived mess more easily now knowing it means TRP will likely increase and therefore the show will stay on longer and thus Twinj romance will come eventually. We've just gotta be be patient. 😆 The makers have to find that balance after all. But the little things in between the drama like how in today's episode Twinkle's sindoor fell on Kunj's forehead - very OTP-esque things like these 😳 - keep me going cause I know it'll all be worth it in the end. In most cases 😆

I just wanted to emphasize the last part of your post. What angers me more than people spread negatively uselessly, I can't stand when people go and bash the actors on social networking sites, a main reason for me being off of Twitter cause I feel like that's where most of the stuff goes down. These actors work endlessly and tirelessly to give us solid episodes SIX days of the week. That's why when there's a filler here or there it's compeltely understandable cause these dramas are meant to go on for elongated periods of time. I know that this is Sidmin's job but they deserve appreciation and encouragement, not our whining. I hope this drama quotient helps the TRPs go up because the show is deserving of it. The CVs have often given into our wishes, but drama is needed for TRPs and I'm all for it, it's gonna keep things interesting.

And as always, well said buddy lol!

heyyy i read your post yesterday but didn't get a chance to reply.Just wanted to tell how amazing this post is. The way people usually jump to conclusions that also negative ones is so not fair. Especially when TEI has time and again proved that this is not any ekta show. Its so different and their tracks are never regressive. So i don't seen whats the negativity all about.
And the english shows you mention, i watched literally all of them. And you are so right if anyone did follow pll, they know how unrealistic the tracks were and how it was stretched for the A reveal.
Tvd and gossip girl had their share of dragging too.

and am not saying to tolerate any kind of nonsense like supernatural , abuse, violence or ekta logics but whats annoying is how people get pissed about the track in one day.
Guys give it chance. I was so sure that after yesterdays epi, to day the cvs would bounce back and they did ok at least for me i loved todays episode.
And bashing actors is something i never understood. Like guys they play a role and they work really hard for it, its high time we as fans should understand the difference between criticism and abuse.

I agree with all your points, well said... 👍🏼
but in my opinion, every person is different, all are not same... some have patience and some dont... but all have equal right to express their thoughts/feelings until and unless it doesnt turn out to be bashing each other or bashing the actors... If they feel that they should stop watching, let them say it, whats is there...

Comparitively this is the place where there is minimum negativity, so i wont complain... 😳

my opinion, no offense...

Gurl, you're spitting straight fire 👏 I compeltely agree! I remember when we had an entire week of romance, people were complaining and I'm like omg when will the CVs win?! They give us romance, people want drama, they give us drama, we want to quit the show. Like what the heck. I've been watching dramas for too many years now LOL, and one thing I've learned is why get your BP high unnecessarily because at the end of the day, every show has its ups and downs. If it was a perfect drama, then everyone in the world would be watching it. It's virtually impossible to please everyone in the audience and I would say that this show has done a pretty good job of that. I trust Sidmin saying that this is a comedy, drama and romantic track. Honestly they're having so much fun shooting it, why should we pick at the twists and make it a bigger deal than needed. And I truly admire your point about how this is with shows in general, I stopped watching PLL season 3 like I couldn't LOL. Honestly from experience the only dramas that done drag are Pakistani ones, but they are like 20-25 episodes long and really really serious usually LOL. That's why I like Indian dramas and now I'm just blabbing.

I totally agree and even if Rajjo is preggers, it's not Kunj's kid. Plus seems like he was getting hit in a fan video uploaded on YouTube so like Twinkle- Kunj ointment scene part 3 coming up? 😆 😉 Love this post but you a little more!



I was actually in a good mood when I was writing it 😆

Tell me about it Teddy, there is literally no win-win situation for the show. LOOOL same, I've watched enough dramas in my life to know how to handle my heart now. If you can watch an Ekta serial, you can hack possibly anything.

Dont even talk about PLL, I literally binged the show in a week, it was such a huge disappointment.


Hahaha I love these domesticated ointment scenes. The fan girl in me is getting so excited now ☺️

It's not something that I wanted to write in all honestly but the negativity was reaching a limit so I thought I may as well put forth my views.

I tend to stay away from posts which I know I'll have something to say about and it wont be liked by many, hence I create my own or engage myself in reading ffs, so I understand your position.
The social media thing is totally unacceptable! This is a problem with some fans in general. I dont understand why its hard to grasp that the actor has no say in the script as such and are merely portraying a character. I remember seeing horrible comments on Sid's accounts when Kunj slapped Twinkle. It is so uncalled for and unfair to the actor.



As stated by yourself, a drama can not be sustained on purely romance..it will most certainly not survive in the TRP race and will face a premature axe..a successful drama needs a balanced quotient of drama, romance and comedy..void of any one of these will result in disaster..I comply with the fact that the younger generation only want romance but looking at a broader perspective this drama is watched by all ages and therefore it needs to cater for audience of all ages, the makers are doing just that..therefore I see it as selfishness that people throw a mild tantrum in wanting their ways (I'm sorry to readers who find this harsh, but it is the genuine truth based on immaturity I witness)

I dont think its harsh. The truth is bitter as they say. I believe that you cant truly appreciate a certain genre without experiencing the others. Its like not knowing the true value of happiness unless you've witnessed hardships. Therefore, romance is only nice to watch when there is a build up and we've been deprived of it. At the end of the day, too much of anything can make you sick (cue Cheryl Cole) and will bore you eventually.

The arrival day for TRP's is much awaited and when it's not as expected, people are angered..questions buzz in their heads 'why is it so low?' and blah blah blah..but that's the result of makers giving into demanding whims..I empathise with them for digressing away from romance for a while and adding in spice..they want their show to survive and want to up them dipping ratings which I have no qualms with..oh and when them TRP's rise just watch out for all sorts of justifications 😆

I've actually witnessed this so many times which is why I made this post to begin with. The change in attitudes are hilarious at times.

Hypocrisy is what may be thrown towards me after many read this..yes I too do create topics which weigh on the negative side more than the positive..but I beg to differ, I bring forth my view in a constructive manner..as long as the discussion is healthy then I see no harm

Thank you! My post isnt saying that you cant make negative or dissatisfied posts, of course you can! Who am I to stop you? I'm just saying that there is a mannerism to conveying dislike and hurt. Throwing around threats of leaving the show etc. simply degrade the post in my opinion.

I was an ardent fan of Pretty Little Liars and Vampire Diaries..yes both the shows tested my patience and made my blood boil at certain junctures in the story..some things didn't make sense yet I still managed to search for positivity in them..if your a loyal viewer then why not stay that way instead of digressing in and out of chosen themes..the word 'fan' I still can't quite take a grasp on, doesn't being a fan mean sticking through the good and bad? Then why the roaring!

Exactly. I've watched TVD since it began so I physically cant stop watching it regardless of how much I dislike the coupling or story lines. Pretty Little Liars I started a few years ago because of the hype and I pretty much caught up but I dont feel the same passion towards it as I do with TVD. Regardless, like you said, both shows really mess with your feelings but they still remain to be some of the most popular TV series going! Like I said, be a Fan, not a glory supporter. Glory supporting is watching it when its all good and up in cloud nine but leaving as soon as its down in the ditches without even giving it a chance to get back up.

One thing you have failed to mention is the fact that this is a daily show unlike American shows which are weekly, Tashan-E-Ishq actors shoot around the clock to produce content for us to watch and not appreciating this gesture of theirs is unfair..gruelling hours of shooting and tiredness is witnessed on Jasmin and Sidhants face, so being unappreciative of their efforts is very egocentric..an apologetic mention, if you want good content 100% of the time then it's time for you to shoot off and find another show

This is actually a really good point! I agree, it is definitely unfair to actors especially because you can literally see the fatigue and tiredness.
I beg to differ, if someone wants a good show 100% of the time, they should just stop watching TV in general. I'm yet to come across a show that abides by every viewers wishes. It's not possible.

Thank you for sharing your views!

LOOOL dont get me wrong, you can make posts about dissatisfying tracks, but its only nice when people can discuss the ongoing events in a respectable manner rather than embark on a hate spree.

I understand OTPs trust me. But you only ever need to worry about your pair in an Ekta serial on Indian television. Majority of the time, it will end happily ever after. Twinj are end game and I'm pretty confident about that.

I agree with you so much! I'm exactly the same. Its the little things that keep me positive and hopeful about my pair. I dont need big gestures just the small things that give me all types of feels.

Thank you for commenting!

Thank you. It genuinely baffles me that precaps still cause so much commotion even though we know for good that they should not be trusted. Maybe we're just more patient? I agree. It's not an Ekta serial and Twinkle and Kunj will eventually be together. Its just a matter of time.

I think PLL and GG really tested my patience because they're plots were about this one person and it took them 6 seasons to drag out the revelations. TVD story lines sometimes just really annoy me. Actually I think Elena just annoys me.

Exactly. I'm not saying take everything on the chin for the sake of the show. No. I'm saying discuss it properly and put forth your views in a manner that can be easily discussed. There's only so much one can reply to "I'm quitting the show". I'm actually really enjoying this track, I dont know if anyone else is seeing progression but I definitely am.

Completely agree. Constructive criticism is one thing but bashing is another.

Thanks for your input.

Hey thanks for replying. I agree with you. Everyone is different and people will react to things differently. As far I've seen, this forum is one of the most considerate forums on IF. There is always healthy discussion if any disagreements occur. I'm not saying that they should stop posting or just go along with the track, but they should portray their views in a way which other members can understand and give advice towards. If someone makes a post saying "I'm leaving the show" there is not much room for discussion. It's also not nice when that post is repeated every three days because it really puts people off.

I agree, we definitely have the least negativity.

None taken my lovely 😊
