Hi everyone,
I'm making this post after constantly reading hundreds of mourning and crying and complaining to shut down IPK, if Barun Sobti leaves the show.
Now let's talk about fairness...
Those of you who are in school, how would you feel if, just because one of your popular classmates decided to bunk the exam, your entire class is not allowed to sit for your final exam?
Those of you who are working, how would you feel if, just because one of your popular colleague resigns, the entire department is fired from their job, including yourself?
Those of you who are homemaker, how would you feel if, just because your mayor decides to quit, your entire city funding is hacked leaving your entire city with no water, electricity and public transport?
Doesn't seem fair... is it?
Now look back and think what you are all doing to every cast and crew who are working for IPK and who never complained about their job and may even like it.
Let's think about Sanaya Irani, Utkarsha Naik, Karan Goddwani, Jayshree T...
Not to mention all those hundreds of cast and crew who work there.
If this serial shuts down today, Sanaya will be fine. Karan will be fine too. But Utkarsha and Jayshree T might get another role, but will they be as dynamic as the roles they are playing here?
And while they are still waiting for a better role to come, how will they pay the bills and how will they put food on the table?
That's practical life, not a fantasy.
And not to mention all the extras and technicians, cast and crew who depend on this show for their daily bread will loose them because the fans don't want to see anyone else with Sanaya.
Really? Then when Barun will go make the movie with Shehnaz, how many of you are skipping it because you don't want to watch Barun with anyone else?
You call yourself Barun's fans? How do you think he will feel when he hears that his fans took away all those people's livelihood because he wanted to pursue his dreams whatever that may be.
He will feel guilty as hell because at the end of the day, you will be punishing his friends in the name of loving him.
And this quitting is not because complaint about the storyline, or track, or acting or anything worth discussing.
It's because of a face you want to see everyday. Then why don't you buy a poster of Barun and stick in your wall? Why kick on someone's belly?
So step back and think... What if whoever is brought can actually do a good job?
Remember Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi? Amar Upadhyay left the show. But then Ronit Roy came in and did such a fabulous job that for me, Ronit Roy was a much better Mihir Virani than Amar.
Why not give this show you love a chance?
Why not give Lalit Mohan a chance?
Why not give all those wonderful actors a chance to make a newbie seem the perfect fit like they did with NK?
If the actor is not up to his calibre, if the storyline sucks, if the track is bad... then by all means complaint or quit. But don't give up on our Khushi, Mamiji, Naniji and NK just because of one Arnav Singh Raizada.
So here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to stick by this show and give it a chance to bring whoever and fill the empty spot left with Barun's leave/leaving.
If you agree with me. Like this post and comment. I will send this to as many people as possible, so that they can continue with the show.
I'm giving them a chance to bring back the IPK magic and if they can't for some reason, at least I'll know that I gave them a chance and not gave up on them.
DISCLAIMER:No offence to people who don't want to watch IPK without Barun and Sanaya. If you don't want to watch IPK without them, feel free to quit. After all, it's individual preferences.
But I personally would continue watching IPK until they screw up the track/storyline/proper casting. So all I'm doing is trying to keep it going until there is a reason bigger than one actor's leaving, to dig a grave and bury it.
Thanks.
My idea for a new track: If Arnav and Khushi are killed. Aarav grows up to be just like Arnav (in looks and in everything) and somewhere Khushi is born again, we can have a brand new romantic IPK again.
Aarav can grow up as Anjali's son and all the characters remain exactly the same. We get our IPK and Barun gets vacation. Even if he doesn't come back, some other actor can play Aarav Singh Raizada, the new ASR without taking away from Arnav Singh Raizada.
On the other hand, the new Khushi can be named Muskaan and is a well-educated but traditional girl in love with jalebies and may be Ranveer Kapoor?
Let me know what you think about that track?
