Hearts are breaking,

Eyes are watering

Bidding adieu to #Humsafars

Is truly difficult for all of us too.

Shows come and shows go,but rarely do you find shows that will live on in the hearts and minds of fans. Humsafars is one such show.

We bemoan the unjust and unfair closure of the show well before its time. But are fervently hoping and praying we can see our beloved Sahir,Aarzoo,Zaki and the rest in Season 2, very soon.

Thank you for a FANTABULOUS Season 1. We enjoyed every episode and wish to thank all the cast,crew,technicians etc for a job extremely well done.

The best wishes of all the fans remain with all of you,now and in the future.

On behalf of the entire #Humsafars fandom, a HUGE THANK YOU.

Best Wishes,

Kitz

P.S. 

Zaki, JALDI wapas aajana. Who will retweet my shaayari otherwise? 😇

ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST....ARE INDIAN TRPS RIGGED?

TRPs

The much dreaded word in the arena of Indian Televison.

The word that turns beautiful shows in mere clones of each other.....just for TRPs.

Every show promises a DIFFERENT & UNIQUE take or story.....but 2-3 months down the line,
Clone-i-fication starts.

Which are the shows that have the highest TRPs? Saas bahu stories or stories with daughter in law at loggerheads with the mother in law. Mind you, these shows also defy all theories of India being the 2nd most populous country in the world.

Why you ask me? Oh simply because the married couple sleep separately. Every bedroom has a large king size bed and a massive sofa to boot. No prizes for guessing which spouse is sleeping where. Mind you this arrangement of chastity sans the belt, continues for 2 or more YEARS on an average in most shows.

There are shows that try to defy this norm. But believe you me,very few survive the TRPs and the aunties that supposedly donate them.

No channel can convince me that the TRPs aren't a truly flawed method of viewership rating. In fact over the years of seeing some truly pathetic serials rule the TRPs roost, I am hard put to believe they are not rigged nor positions sold for a penny,dollar or pound.

And this week, a show that tried to be truly unique is.... Biting the dust.

My next post is my farewell to that show. #Humsafars.
