As many of you know, news has been circulating in regards to the show going off-air. It has shocked some people, saddened others, and for many, it has sent them into a rage.
Here are my thoughts on the matter.
The show was always going to end. This is an inevitable fact that was always dependent on a matter of when.
Personally, I had seen this end coming months ago when Beyond Dreams began posting all those BTS posts on their IG page. This Production House has ONLY posted this much about the show way back in 2020 when it was first about to be launched. For them to post so many consecutive posts now, just when they had announced the arrival of Kuch Rang S3? Something was definitely off.
Lo and behold, today my suspicion was confirmed.
In terms of my sentiments, my only sympathy goes to the cast and crew of IMMJ2. Many people are going to lose their income and who knows if they'll be able to get a job quickly during this difficult time. They should have been notified beforehand so that they could arrange for another job rather than have this news be sprung upon them like a surprise.
In better circumstances, I would have felt upset about not getting to see Rrahel anymore either. However, given what they have been through, I don't feel that way anymore. We all have seen how hard Helly has worked since the beginning of the show, and especially during the fast few months ever since they shifted out of Mumbai. If there's anyone who deserves a long break, then it's her. The same goes for Rrahul. He has gone through tremendous losses in the past month. I obviously don't know how he feels or what his state of mind is, but I personally believe being home with his family will help him heal better than being at work. The sheer amount of work he has done during this time is also something to be noted and applauded. He too deserves a nice long break to recuperate and come back stronger than ever before.
As for rest of the cast, we have all seen their work ethic and I'm sure other production houses and channels have too. Given the right strategic movements, I'm sure they can find a job as well.
If there hadn't been a pandemic going on, this show would have wrapped up a long time ago. The writing is absolutely abysmal and it has done nothing but give a major headache to the audience. Thriller is not the production house's forte. They should stick to family drama instead.
For some of us, this show was merely one source of entertainment while for others it was an escape. Whether it was interacting with others on various platforms, reading and writing stories, or making creations, this show gave us all something that is worth cherishing - and that is love.
COVID hit all of us in an absolutely horrific fashion, yet we managed to find some form of positivity through the friendships we created, the laughter we shared, and the love we fostered. And that is something worth remembering above all the nonsense that was served to us within the show.
Even if canon ends, fanon will remain alive. This show and this forum will live on as long as you want it. So let's do what we have been doing best since the beginning of this show; maintain positivity and keep spreading the warmth and love. ❤️
