ADIEU REPORTERS - JAANE SE PEHLE

And finally today the last episode airs.

Reporters is one of the Once-In-A Lifetime shows.

I wouldn't be alone in saying Reporters has shown us what a show with brilliant writing, excellent production and direction , and the best cast ensemble cast can look like. It has left very big shoes for other shows to fill and I firmly believe if ever any show DOES fill the shoes, then it would be Reporters Season 2. I hope kaayanaat conspires to fulfill that desire of its ardent fans.

What is an adieu without a mention to the 130 Jaane Se Pehle?

Each JSP not only conveyed the story but also a moral and a life lesson. Life lessons that will live beyond a story. Life lessons adopted by all in their daily living.

Rajeev will eternally be known as Kabir Sharma, his Jaane Se Pehle equally legendary.
Kritika will remain Ms Kashyap for us.
Ronnie will be the Friend we all want and
Sunny the loyal dost.

But Jaane Se Pehle,

THANK YOU TO THE ENTIRE CAST AND CREW FOR A SHOW THAT WILL SET STANDARDS FOR THOSE THAT FOLLOW.

Thank you #SrishtiAryaBehl #GoldieBehl #RajeevKhandelwal #KritikaKamra #SammeerArora ,all the actors ,Tripathiji , Palak. Samir and every single person involved in making the show.

REPORTERS WILL BE TRULY MISSED.

ADIEU REPORTERS - ROMANCH BHI

The curtain finally drops on Reporters today.

The thought has saddened me for days but facing the reality is a different ball game.

The last episode will be aired in a few hours and thereafter there will be a huge void not just in my life, but in the lives of all its ardent viewers.

Yes we all knew it was a finite show, but we didn't know then, that the show will end up meaning so much to us. There wasn't a single episode that wasn't chocoblock with content. Missing a single episode was blasphemy and led to requests of live updates on various social media platforms.

The concept of the life and happenings of a news channel were never before explored on TV. We saw how dedicated Ananya was to her principles even while following a variety of leads. We saw Kabir go from a power hungry channel honcho to a man with feelings, all along covering relevant topics of the day.

We saw a Nidhi Rane wrongly incarcerated, a Mahi Malhotra recover from drug addiction, a Bhavna Shroff manipulating an entire channel for her purposes to an arms deal thanks to Ananya and her Fida  Bhadresh Kutty. We saw the Sudhir Kashyap murder being solved at last....albeit at great cost.

After seeing such finesse, how does one move on?? I certainly can't. So come tomorrow, I start rewatching from Episode 1. And I know for a fact, many are following suit.

ADIEU REPORTERS - ROMANCE BHI

As we bid farewell to the show of a lifetime, I sit reminiscing on the episodes passed.

The confession, the sitting near the table, the date, the I LOVE YOU in numerous languages........

But the episode that to me will forever represent KaYa's love is the Green Room Hug episode. Such joy, such happiness, such love. An episode that I can watch umpteen number of times and then some.

Kaash like for the show Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon, someone had compiled all the KaYa love scenes. It would be a keepsake.

And by now, you must have understood I am a die hard romantic.

So since I can't edit Nor make VMs, I will slowly, hopefully, compile all the JSPs together (Hope I succeed) and also, make a compilation of my reviews from Episode 1 onwards. It will take time I know......but time hi time hoga....coz after Reporters, I won't be able to watch any other show.

A big HUGE THANK YOU to #SrishtiAryaBehl #GoldieBehl #SammeerArora # Rajeev Khandelwal #KritikaKamra and the all the cast and crew of #Reporters for a Once-In-A-Lifetime show.
