Its a sunday, normally people are happy on sundays but we SGPians are not. Normally SGPians on sundays would talk about the precap, their version of what will happen next and some creative ones would prepare OS, VM's. I won't do any of these but I would like to share my experience with SGP in these two glorious years.

Being a male viewer, its very torturous for us to watch a hindi tv serial. Everything in a hindi serial is very monotonous and basically it's a crap for us. But SGP was something special. It was my first hindi show and I can bet on this, SGP had the largest male viewership in comparison to any other daily soap.
In the following, I have described my likes and dislikes in SGP in different phases because one cannot like each and every thing in a show. So I have shared my true thoughts about SGP episodes here. It's a long post so read with patience and something toi eat by side😆.

I. From day 1 till the arrival of Sonali
In this phase, I was just mad about SGP. I adored each and every thing in SGP and I guess it was the phase which had the best family moments. Some of them were Suhana giving that traditional smile to Badi Maa (I think it's the daddy of all moments), Dadaji fake death news, Alok stopping Suhana from leaving home when Radha slapped her, Suhana arguing back to Rano when Rano asked her not to go anywhere without informing anybody, rifts between Rajni Disha and Suhana.
But the thing which I liked the most was the moments between Sushaan ( I guess that's why I watched SGP).They had some great moments which were priceless. Suhana making tie-knots for Ishaan, Ishaan staring her like a dumb, Suhana trying to leave home after knowing the truth about Sid but somehow she's not able to leave and Ishaan giving parting gifts to Suhana and the day when Suhana hugged Ishaan saying that she'll never leave this home'.. In my view, it was SGP's best phase.

II. Arrival of Sonali and Suhana confessing her love
I didn't like the idea of a third person interfering in a couple's life and making them realize how much they loved each other. Its too melodramatic. But still our Ishaan-Suhana did a fab job. Even in this phase, Ishaan Suhana had some great moments and it was very beautiful shown how Suhana is realizing her love for Ishaan. I know many people don't like Sonali but I think she also did a great job in bits and pieces. This was also the time when Raunak was jobless and I think it was a great track altogether.

III. Honeymoon
CV's gave their fans a treat for what they craved for. All the romantic moments were there between Ishaan and Suhana. They became the hottest Jodi by then in television. It was superb.

IV. Brain Tumor

This was the first spoiler in my view. During this phase the whole family use to cry, feel bad and had long faces. This was something which contradicted the style of SGP. Even Suhana cried a lot. Although it showed the intensity of love between Sushaan and how much Kashyap family loves Suhana, I feel CV's could have ignored this track and should have shown something else.

V. Amnesia
When the track started I thought it will be like one of those in Ekta Kapoor's serials, but CV's did a fab job in modifying it. They showed it in their SGP style and the whole track became humorous with a little bit of emotions here and there. That rain dance was awesome. Also positive signs were shown in the relationship of Panna and her MIL and the return of Raunak covered it up nicely.

VI. Recovery from Amnesia and Disha's negative report
I think it was a very important track as after Ishaan recovered from Amnesia, all Suhana cared about was Ishaan Ishaan Ishaan. Disha's negative report that she'll never be able to conceive and her outburst at Ishaan's b'day party was shown superbly. Even Rajni asked questions about Suhana's contribution as daughter in law. In this track CV's showed that Suhana can't be just a wife only, she has to take care of her family also. Rajni-Disha were also at fault. I liked it a lot although I think many viewers have different views about this track.

VII. Disha's baby and rift b/w Illesh-Inder
Suhana in order to patch up with Disha and Rajni, brought a orphan baby in the house and gifted it to Disha. But things between Disha and Suhana again got sour as Suhana couldn't stop imposing herself as mother of Khushi and Disha objected it. Although the reason shown was valid as Suhana was a child without mother, so she wanted all that mothermood moments with Khushi. Also the rift between Ilesh and Inder was shown superbly. I guess it was their 1st fight. They did a fab job.

VIII. Mumbai and Bade Papa
Here onwards there was a decrease in my interest level because I didn't like the Mumbai track at all. Although in its earlier stage, there were some funny moments in Mumbai and Madhuri bai was superb but after the introduction of Abhishek-Sonali the track became boring. I used ctrl+forward in my vlc player whenever they showed that Mumbai track. The same old suspicious behavior of a wife against her husband and same old confusions etc etc. But I loved the Bade Papa track. It closed all the questions related to BM-BP relationship and that slap on his face was just an awesome performance by Supriya Ji.

IX. Suhana becomes actress
Again for me it was an ordinary track. Suhana taking up the job of an actor and suddenly Rano and Disha starts acting weirdly. Although one thing I liked about this track is that CV's showed how Rano feels about her status in Kashyap's house when it comes to decision making; Whether its Ishaan going to Mumbai or Suhana going for acting. Again people may have different opinions on Rano's behavior but I respect the counter views too.

X. Deepak's engagement and the end
I am sorry to say but I wish CV's could have taken some different track to bid goodbye as I feel Deepak-Sanjana were not that integral to SGP (no offense to Deepak-Sanjana fans). A track related to Ishaan-Suhana or BadiMaa would have been the best choice for the last episode as they were the characters who made the show.

No need to bash me if you don't agree with my views because every person has their point of views.

Overall 7 likes and 3 dislikes. Considering myself both as a fan and a critic, I guess SGP did more than a fantabulous job to score 7 likes. Its amazing, SGP had more than 550 episodes but I still remember each and every storyline and I am sure other fans remember them too. It was worth watching a show for 2 years which taught family, friendship and marriage values with so much of practicality in real world. There's no way to deny that I'll miss this show, Suhana and etc.

There is a very nice line in the ending promo of SGP "YEH PYAAR KI SAUGAATE, RAKHNA GALE LAGA KE". I guess that's the message from the makers and characters of the show. So kudos to the makers of the show.

Seriously after this who would remember that the song "Sasural Genda Phool" is a folk song from Chattisgarh modified by A.R. Rehman for Delhi 6? From now on every one would say this song suited and belonged to the best family drama show of India -SGP

I posted this not to get likes and praises but I would like other fans to post their views, what they liked and disliked about SGP, their emotions since SGP would not be aired any more I guess this forum is all we SGPians are left with.

agree with each and every single one of your points👍🏼

also about the male viewership thing...my dad and my brother are standard serial haters...they think every serial is a Kekta maiya production and hence all of them will turn out to be crap eventually but with SGP when me and my mom used to tune in even they used to sit and watch. My brother to one extent said tha SGP was his favorite serial because it showed such light hearted moments and tracks which was very surprising to me since he hates everything about serials.

Reagrding the tracks BANG on right with every single track you have said...I feel the same with that you do with the tracks as well...I feel like in order to be a little too original they lost sight of their true concept and premise and hence the downfall of the show after the brain tumor track I did enjoy some moments in every single track portrayed but the overall feel of the track after Suhana's brain tumor was a big turnoff since they started to stray away from consistency and logic that had made SGP a class apart

Still I stand by my saying that even when SGP was absolute crap, it was still a million times better than the rest of the shit on TV
