I spent 30 mins last night to know what’s on @StarPlus . Started with #YehRIshteyHainPyaarKe, as usual Kuhu Meanu nonsense, brilliant leads & characs relegated to the sidelines while vile bro spews venom & the bigger monster threatens this one. That poor baby she is carrying

Next, #ShaadiMubarak It’s a shame not a single woman in the cast, crew, channel exec team, marketers found the atrocious lines thrown at a woman ( and a mom) objectionable. Poor acting, worse lines, worst IDEA ever. Cudnt watch for 5 mins @StarPlus #YehRIshteyHainPyaarKe

Next #Anupamaa The less said the better. Cheating husband, infinitely patient wife, the rejoicing other woman, clueless family, biggest caricature for a villainous woman. Performances ranged from super hammy, wooden to laughable @StarPlus #YehRIshteyHainPyaarKe

Next #KasautiiZindagiiKay2 I could not recognize #EricaFernandes from #KRPKAB. She & a guy were reconciling their differences. He told her abt how he was threatened by his wife & casually they both said nope i didnt marry & nope i didnt have sex type stuff #YehRIshteyHainPyaarKe

Acting?i wasn’t prepared for that level of crap! It just goes to show what a tight leash #EricaFernandes was on during #KRPKAB. Her voice was awful, the facial contortions in the name of emoting was seen to be believed. @StarPlus #YehRIshteyHainPyaarKe

she was ably matched by that guy who appeared to be pretty cynical and looked like he wished he were somewhere else. Most importantly, the plot. Disgusting incidents he related. @StarPlus #YehRIshteyHainPyaarKe

Next i attempted #YRKKH. Dear god, even the generous me could not bear a couple of minutes of this. The leading lady instantly put me off and I switched off @StarPlus #YehRIshteyHainPyaarKe

the only running theme in all these - women plotting against women, the society enabling them, abjectly idiotic characters, no real story but just a random stringing together of poorly executed plots, fancy dressed women and huge sets. @StarPlus #YehRIshteyHainPyaarKe

As much as the channels or the creators of these shows, all of us who watch these are endorsing this garbage & assuring them that the poor content will fly. The day young ones will realize that TV shows should rise above chemistry (contd) @StarPlus #YehRIshteyHainPyaarKe

...and romance is when things will improve. Blaming traditional tv watching crowd for anything isnt helpful. If you give them better content they arent going to reject it. We have had good storylines & fantastic performances way early in DD days. #YehRIshteyHainPyaarKe @StarPlus

Ever since the advent of daily soaps, writers dont write stories but tracks, which can be dispensed off for one ridiculous idea after the other. The amt of time spent on emphasizing the evil & plotting and scheming isnt matched by (contd) @StarPlus #YehRIshteyHainPyaarKe

the correctional/redemptional ones and the negative stuff lingers on. Traditional tv audience just change channels & move on to other stuff.Stop underestimating their intelligence & blame them for your failure to create an entertaining show. #YehRIshteyHainPyaarKe @StarPlus

You will be a poor excuse of a creative channel if u cant promote good entertainment & encourage your PHs to write real ‘stories’. Make your shows a year long, have a nice positive story to tell, tell it entertainingly, preshoot them before airing and leave an impact @StarPlus
