Of course AD being a good freind will defend Barun! However, it is NOT fair to just blame Barun when the PH and SP were aware of his impedning departure for weeks, even months!
 
 
They could have made a call to wrap the show in December! They could have done a proper job and closed ALL the tracks! 
 
 
4 LIONS themselves put that "Open Letter" on Forum 32 saying the "Story has run it's course"!! SO that means they were quite willing to shut up shop! But SP didnt want them to!
 
 
Barun decided to leave and the audience was NOT able to accept another ASR or another man with Khushi! The LOVE story was such that either of them with someone else would NOT have been accepted! Sanaya leaving would have done the SAME damage! NOT just Barun leaving!
 
 
 
Therefore, I beleive that ending IPK with ARSHI is the right decision! THIS is the decision they could have taken weeks ago, and given this story a proper end! If NOT, they could have carried on the story with a time leap and focued on the story of A & K's daughter!
 
 
Viraf could have been HER love interst! But instead, they wanted to bring in a new man for KHUSHI! The PH and SP should have known this story is NOT like other soaps! This would NEVER work! Now blaming BARUN alone is NOT the right decision! THEY should have known better!
