Stop playing with KY2S2 viewers!

Majority of KY2S2 Viewers have no problem with the Yaariyan Concept. Even they are okay with the fact that Parth Samthaan and Ayaz Ahmed are not part of KY2S2. The viewers are okay with MaNan Scene flashbacks too. Majority of viewers are also okay if Yuvraj Thakur is paired up with Niti Taylor in the future. The KY2S2 viewers are also okay with Richa Yamini not being part of the Show. But hear this loud and clear! Viewers are not okay with idiotic plots and advertisements shown as part of KY2S2. The KY2S2 viewers have supported you against fan girls who are trending for MaNan HEA and those demanding Parth Samthaan to be ‘called back’ to the Show. So have respect on these viewers and stop dishing out garbage to them.
In KY2S2, the CV’s have corrected many mistakes they have done in Season 1.

1. KY2 was supposed to be about friendships, considering the name of the Show and the fact that it is an adaptation of BOF. BOF was the story of Jan-di and the bonds she makes with the members of F4 and others. It was not about just her and Jun-Pyo. All the main characters (except for Song Woo-bin) had equal roles to play and the absence of one or more characters in any episode did not make any difference to the Show. Jan-di is shown as a very strong and daring character fighting her own battles without anyone’s support. It should have been the same in Kaisi Yeh Yaariaan but somewhere down the line the CV’s diverted from the concept prioritizing MaNan and the actor Parth Samthaan was given undue importance. And the results where there for all to see. For most viewers KY2 equals MaNan. The absence of Parth Samthaan in even one episode also became ‘intolerable’ for viewers.  In KY2S2, the CV’s have corrected their mistake and prioritized Yaariaan.
2. KY2S1 had countless editing mistakes and bloopers from the beginning of the Show. It looks like that the makers of the Show has taken conscious efforts to rectify these mistakes in KY2S2 and have succeeded to some extent too. But that’s not enough! In KY2S2 we have seen some mistakes too and WE do not want to see it repeated.
3. Majority of KY2S2 Viewers are okay with the fact that Parth Samthaan and Ayaz Ahmed are not part of the Show.  They are also okay with ‘no MaNan HEA’. As per Vishal Watwani and our own sources, when Parth Samthaan announced quitting the show, the Production House had tried their best to retain him but failed. So they decided to terminate his character and come up with a Season 2 where the rest of the characters are shown coping up with their lives. There is absolutely nothing wrong in this! It would have been foolish to wrap up the show that was doing well. Also, it would not have been right to render the other actors jobless just because some actors were bored with the Show. Ayaz and Parth did not want to continue because they had lost interest in their characters and majority of KY2S2 viewers respected their decision. 
4. Most KY2S2 viewers are also okay with Yuvraj Thakur/another actor being paired opposite Niti Taylor in future. If at all it happens, they are smart enough to understand that it will not be immediate. There will be fights, conversations and friendship before there will be love.  It will not be easy to remove Manik’s memories from Nandini’s mind and that too especially when Maddy has Manik’s voice and has some character traits similar to Manik. So if love happens from Madhyam’s side, it will be with acceptance of Manik’s place in Nandini’s life. Let’s think practical! Nandini is only 18 years old. She deserves happiness and love. Is it right to expect her to live a single life just because of her previous relationship?
5. The usage of MaNan Scenes and Cabir scenes are justified to some extent. Manik and Cabir were important characters in Season 1 and Season 2 is all about the other characters coping with their absence. The makers definitely do have the legal rights to use the scenes in flashbacks in whatever way they want it but too much of it in the Episodes is not tolerable. 
6. If Karishmaa Oluchi was brought in as replacement for Richa Yamini, she definitely should have something in her that made the makers of KY2 believe in her. It is foolishness to expect her to be Richa Yamini. She is a different individual and has her own way of doing things. She was part of shows like Sadda Haq – My Life My Choice, Veera, Punar Vivah, Hatim, Million Dollar Girl, Do Dil Bandhe Ek Dori Se, Kairi, Khoobsurat, Dhoond Legi Manzil Hamein and more. So her creative freedom should not be questioned or interfered with. Trust her judgment, she knows what she is doing and I am sure she won’t disappoint us.
7. From what I have gathered from the comments of fans on Forums and fan pages, KY2S2 Viewers are quite happy about the makeovers and wardrobe of the actors post KY2S1. Nandini and Navya especially look much better in KY2S2. Keep it up!
8. Hear this loud and clear! KY2S2 Viewers find the Sponsor Ads shown as part of the Show irritating! The Advertisements do not make any sense at all. It is fine if you are under pressure and can’t avoid it. You can show the products in the scenes or background, but don’t make the actors pitch for the product or talk about it. Just because you did not take away the bread and butter of the other actors and wrap up the show does not mean that you have to exploit these actors.
9. Most of the things that was shown in KY2S1 did not make any sense! Many things shown in KY2S2 also do not make any sense.  Nandini wants to win the Election because she wants to unveil the mystery of the bomb blast? Like seriously? How can it be bomb blast when the bomb was already removed? Also, Aryaman is aware that the Car had a brake failure.  Forget all that, how is Nandini’s winning the election suppose to unveil the mystery of the Accident? It does not make any sense at all!  And Rishab started speaking all of a sudden hearing some rock music? It is as senseless as Nandini recovering from the Pandit trauma all of a sudden. I have a friend who went through a similar experience as that of Nandini. She took almost 2 years to recover despite of Expert help. Also it does not make any sense seeing Harshad still in SPACE Academy. The viewers have tolerated enough crap in Season 1 already including bad editing, bloopers and continuity issues, and now enough is enough! The KY2S2 viewers are okay with KY2 going non-bold but can’t tolerate senseless plots and garbage anymore.

There is a limit to testing the viewer’s patience. Don’t forget that these are people who still stand by you and defend the PH and Creative’s when you are being bashed. Disappointing these loyal KY2S2 viewers is definitely not a good idea. I hope the makers will mend their ways and give the viewers a Show they will be proud watching.

Breaking News: Parth Samthaan not part of Kaisi Yeh Yaariaan Season 2!

Majority of fans have been hoping that Parth Samthaan would start shooting from next week despite of confirmations that he is not part of KYY Season 2 by numerous sites. But now the Actor himself has put an end to all speculations by posting his statement on Instagram and Twitter saying, " I wish all the best for the entire cast and unit. I truly hope that Yaariyan becomes a bigger hit than it was. I am sorry for the late announcement and all disappointments. I had the most memorable journey and I thank each and everyone on the Show for this...and hence it's time for me to move on! Of course this goes without saying that you people supported and loved me always... appreciated my work...can't thank enough on that. Most importantly, I would like to thank MTV and BBC for being there for me and helping me always. And finally... I am glad I am leaving on a high! Anyway, the show must go on. Okay...Thanks... Bye!"

— Parth Samthaan (@LaghateParth) September 1, 2015

There was an Article on two days quoting a statement from BBC World Wide Head Myleeta Aga. "He must be having his reasons, could be he is offered a mainstream GEC show. Let's face it, a youth show has limited growth potential". Parth himself had said in many interviews that he would like to make an entry to Bollywood and try new things. So this could be the reasons why he does not want to commit for KY2 season 2. However, the fans have been trending and trying to pressurize Parth to continue with the Show ever since the news than he may not be part of season 2 came out. This I feel is really wrong. Just because you are obsessed about the actor does not mean that you should make his life miserable with the emotional outburst and pleading on Social Media. He is a good actor and is capable of doing much more than what is doing at the moment. So if you really love him, set him free and respect his decision. The same article that quoted Myleetha Aga also had another quote regarding KY2 Season 2 saying , "I just wish Parth had given us some more time before quitting. Had we got that additional leeway it would have been easier for the writing team to write a more cohesive and juicy script around Fab 5. Also one more challenge is that although the other actors especially girls (Veebha Anand, Charlie Chauhan and Krissann Barretto), have willingly agreed to stay for season 2 and are obviously ready for meatier roles. They don't have enough dates as they are already committed other projects as well". I want to say that this statement that Parth is the reason why The Season finale was messed up is not true at all. As per my sources in the KY2 Sets, "He had given them enough time. He expressed his desire verbally to quit much earlier to putting his papers. They had more than a month to wind up the Show on a positive note. But Yes, Parth quit in the 2nd week of August much before the Show had wind up". So Parth can't be blamed for the 'garbage' the viewers were made to tolerate. They could have wound up the Show in the 2nd week of August itself instead of dragging it to another two weeks so that the filler scenes could have been avoided. But they did not do that! I have told this before in my Articles and Forum Posts. No Show should depend on just one actor or a couple. They were supposed to give all the lead actors equal exposure. If they would have done that, the absence or replacement of an actor in the Show would not have made much difference. But they failed miserably and they disappointed the fans.

Having said the above, I do not agree with the fans demand of closing the Show in the absence of Parth Samthaan. The Show is a top rated one despite of its numerous flaws so I see nothing wrong if the makers want to continue with a Season 2. I don't think that the other Cast should suffer because of the absence of one actor. As of now, there is no news regarding who will be paired opposite Niti Taylor in the Show. May be they may bring another actor as Manik or may pair her opposite an existing character or new character. Whatever the case may be, I think the viewers should trust them and their judgement. If the makers of the Show could create a popular onscreen couple like MaNan, I am sure that they are capable of doing it again. So What do you think? Let me know your Opinion.

KY2 Fans succeed! Kaisi Yeh Yaariyan Season 2 starts from today!

For all those who have wanted Kaisi Yeh Yaariyan Season 2 can now rejoice as KY2 Season 2 is starting today, the 31st August 2015. However, as per reliable sources I choose not to disclose, Parth Samthaan may not be part of the KYY Cast.
KY2 fans had demanded a Season 2 with all the main leads of the season one intact. Majority of Viewers had made it very clear through Social Media that they won’t watch the Show if Parth or Niti is absent in KYY Season 2. They also had made it clear that they will not accept Niti being paired with any other actor. But BBC has decided that the Show must go on as it does not make any sense in closing a show that is extremely popular despite of its numerous flaws. And they are right as no show should depend on just one actor. There are other actors who have proved their worth through the Show and it is unfair to them to wind up the Show. If an actor wants to move on to greener pastures there is no point in holding him back. And if the fans really love the said actor, they will let him go and support his decision.
Will the Creative’s of the Show will be able to make KYY Season 2 as Popular as the Season 1? As of now it looks doubtful because they had diverted from the story and concentrated on MaNan more in the first season. The MaNan pair portrayed by Parth and Niti has so many obsessed fans who have openly expressed their dislike for Season 2 without MaNan. All the lead actors of the Show were supposed to get equal exposure, but somewhere down the line the Creative’s gave into the viewers demand and prioritized MaNan. They chose to forget that no Show should depend on any one actor. It is because of this for many viewers KY2 equals MaNan/ PaNi. This Show has given Parth Samthaan name and fame. It has given him a huge fan following. Think about it! He was ‘nobody’ prior to KY2. Other than some episodic shows, he was only part of Best Friends Forever which he chose to quit after appearing in a few episodes. So if the Creative’s are capable of making an actor or couple popular, they are capable of doing it again and the viewers should trust them.
Having said the above, I still feel that success is not going to come that easily for Kaisi Yeh Yaariaan Season 2. If the makers of the Show want success they should ensure that they correct all the flaws of Season 1. They should come up with a sensible and refreshing story. As the saying goes, ‘Content is the King’. If the content of the Show is good enough, people will like it and there is no need for the Show to be 'Bold' to keep the viewers hooked to the Show. However, if the Channel and Creative’s are thinking that there can mint money by showing product advertisements as part of the Show with Season 2 as well, they are mistaken. The viewers may have tolerated ‘garbage’ for the sake of MaNan in Season 1, but they will not tolerate it anymore! Despite of the pathetic KY2 finale week and senseless final episode, many fans still think that the Writer of the Show still can undo the damage he did in Season 1, if you look at some of the responses received on the writer’s tweet below.

#KY2fans, Brickbats r understandable and accepted,Unforeseen and inevitable circumstances are the reason and not the excuse for past few weeks. SORRY & THNX 4 Everything ===

— Vishal watwani (@vagabond_vishal) August 28, 2015

So let’s see what is in store by giving at least a week for the Show before deciding if it is worth watching or not.  A Show does not depend on a few fans. The Creative's of the Show definitely may have thought of some strategy to retain the existing viewers and attract new viewers for sure. So those who do not want to watch the Show sans Parth Samthaan, they are free to do so! If some fans drop out, others may take their place. What do you think? Please feel free to share your opinion.

Are you an Obsessed fan of MTV Show Kaisi Yeh Yaariaan?

For a Show to be sold to viewers, it is very important to create compulsion and obsession for the Show. Kaisi Yeh Yaariyan is one such Show (despite of numerous flaws) that has managed to do that. No wonder it has been a top rated show beating better shows like YHM and Jodha Akbar on India Forum Chaska Meter. The lead pair of Kaisi Yeh Yaariaan, Parth Samthaan and Niti Taylor, are among the top ten in the television celebrity index. There is no denying that it is the fan power that is responsible for the success of the Show and popularity of actors in the Show.

Fans want PaNi together!

The words Obsession, Compulsion and Addiction do not mean the same thing. But yes… They are closely related and often used interchangeably. When a person is ‘obsessed’ they derive pleasure by thinking about their obsession for a significant amount of time. When someone is obsessed the affected person feels driven to do something, even when they are aware that such behavior will not benefit them or put them into trouble/suffering later. Obsession turns to Compulsion when they feel compelled to do something. Addiction can involve obsession and compulsion. An addict may think obsessively about their ‘subject of interest’ and waits eagerly for it and indulge in activities that give them their ‘fix’. An Addict may be fully aware of the harm but still can’t stop the craving for the ‘fix’ or having wild imaginations about their ‘subject of interest’. ‘Fantasy living’ is often part of addictive behavior. Fantasizing about intimacy or romantic relationship with subject of interest and fantasizing about being desirable to the subject of interest are some signs of addictive behavior. In short, if obsessed ‘you have to do it’ and if addicted ‘you can’t live without doing it’. I am sure you may have heard about Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). OCD is a condition where even when the person tries to stop doing something they feel powerless to stop themselves. This can often lead to Depression as well. This is a very serious condition that needs help to overcome it.

Some Fans like imagining PaNi as a real Couple

You may wonder why I am talking of terms like Obsession, Addiction and Depression.  I am doing so because I have noticed such signs among KY2 fans. While it is good for the makers and actors of the Show to have ‘obsessed fans’, think of the consequences it can have on you. Can you get back the lost time you have wasted obsessing about the actors and the Show? I know countless fans that make sure they reach their homes on time to watch the Show even if that means bunking extra classes or making excuses. I know fans that have bunked their classes and gone to meet the Cast in Mumbai. I know a girl who spends her entire pocket money to send gifts for cast and then had to suffer personally.  Many KY2 fans have confessed that the Show has become an addiction and they are not able to concentrate on their studies. I have also come across fans that spend a considerable amount of time making edits, writing fan fictions, watching KYY videos, making videos and more. For most fans their liking for the show has lead them to abandon their real names and pictures and use the Show related names and pictures on their social media accounts.

Height of Obsession?

There is nothing wrong in liking a particular show, but when it interferes with your normal life that can be a problem. Many obsessed or addicted fans find it difficult to focus on their work or studies. Many fans find that they have no time for anything other than things related to the Show. Many KY2 fans have interfered in the Creative freedom and personal lives of actors. However, I just would like to ask such fans a question. Is it right to stop someone from leaving the show if he wants to? Parth was clear about what he wants from the beginning itself.  He has said that in many of his interviews. He would have quit in March itself but could not take the emotional outburst of fans and continued. He had verbally communicated his decision to quit much in advance prior to putting his papers. Still fans have been bashing Karishmaa Oluchi  on social media. If Parth has quit the show, it is his decision and should be respected. Just because some fans are obsessed does not mean that he should not have a life for himself or choice. But we all know majority of fans have been begging and pleading Parth not to go. People have been trending #NoKYYWithoutParthNiti and #VwantKY2S2withPaNi. Fans have been asking others to boycott KY2 Season 2 after the news that Parth may not be part of Season 2. In all probability, there won’t be a KYY Season 2 now and fans may have succeeded in taking away the ‘bread and butter’ of the other Casts (or at least one of the KY2 Casts) with their demands for PaNi. If that’s not all some fans have been indulging in destructive behavior. There have been buzz on fans getting sick and even attempting suicide because of the Show ending.  A friend of mine having a KY2 Facebook Group revealed that one of her friends was hospitalized in serious condition and refused to take medicines till she hear Parth taking her name. Another incident of craziness is a girl writing Parth’s name on her leg with some sharp object and even posting a picture of it on Social Media. A fan of mine also admitted that she got a Parth name tattoo on her belly. Liking a Show is perfectly fine, but this sort of craziness cannot be encouraged.
I mean no offense to anyone. I am aware that a lot of you can relate to what I have written in the Post and may be annoyed. But I thought it my moral responsibility to say that Obsession and Addiction should be avoided. I am not perfect. In my school days I have been addicted to Mills & Boons and regretted it. I have been obsessed with the K Drama BOF. A Client had sent me the DVD and I spend more than a month watching the drama again and again and doing nothing else. Thankfully, none of my obsessions have lasted for long except Mills & Boons for almost 5 teenage years. Teenage is such a phase when you are curious about such things and get attracted to it. So I can understand the teen viewer’s attraction towards a bold show like KY2. But think about it! Actors have a limited shelf life. People will remember them as long as they are visible on Shows or stay in news. Once they are out of sight they will be out of mind as well. Same is the case of Shows. After the Show is over, your interest in it will be lost after some time. Then all the acts of craziness you have done will look to you as foolish and you may even regret it.  So keep your interest on Shows to ‘liking’ and don’t make Shows/Actors your ‘obsession’.
Kaisi Yeh Yaariaan is addictive and addictions are injurious. Do you agree? Comments and Criticisms are welcome!

Kaisi Yeh Yaariaan Season 2 makes no sense!

I know that some of you are waiting for KY2 Season 2, but does it really make sense to come up with a new season of the Show?
Every Show needs a Story to survive: The Show shamelessly used BOF to sell it initially and MaNan after that. The Creative’s have taken advantage of the KY2 fans obsession for MaNan and have been dishing out utter garbage to the viewers. Think about it! Does KY2 have a proper story line? Is there any logic or reasoning behind anything in KY2? It is a miracle that the Show has survived till date despite of lack of finality of scenes, bad editing, lack of logic or reasoning in scenes, bloopers, poor execution, bad audio quality, filler scenes and irritating sponsor ads shown as part of the show to name a few. For Instance, just take the example of the last two episodes. Uttz suddenly became D Star. The hard disk Nyonika gave to Mr Khurana came back to her miraculously for Manik to find it. The last two episodes also had the characters Mukti, Dhruv and Navya promoting sponsor products. There is a limit to how much crap can be tolerated. Either the Actors will want to move out of the Show or the viewers will boycott the Show if this continues.
For most Viewers KYY equals to MaNan: I am sure everyone would agree that no Show should depend on just 2 actors. Even if a character is missing in an episode or two, viewers should not feel affected as the other characters have parallel story lines that keep the viewers engaged. But as you all know, that’s not the case with Kaisi Yeh Yaariaan. The other characters in the Show are underutilized. Most of the viewers are unable to tolerate some of the other actors on the Show and it's a failure from CV's part. The viewers of this show are mostly young adults and what keeps majority of them hooked to KYY are the bold MaNan scenes. And why not? No other show on Indian Television has such scenes. Even the kissing and consummation scenes on other shows look amateurish when compared to the normal romantic scenes in KYY. Despite of it, I wonder why it has not come to the notice of Broadcasting Content Complaints Council (BCCC).
Creative freedom does not exist! Yes, Any Writer of KYY season 2 (I doubt if that is happening) should keep no hopes that they can exercise their creative freedom because they will have to give in to the fans demands. Fans will generously give ideas and plots through forums or messages and they will expect the Writers to follow it. In short, the Writers will not have the power to determine what happens in the Show without restraint. KYY Writers so far have used a lot of fan ideas and given into fan demands. And if the makers don’t give into the demands, the fans will make their lives miserable by harassing them on social media. Most of the people who are reading this will want to kill me alive for saying this.  But ask any Writer if they like others interfering in their creative freedom and I am sure their answer will be negative. Personally I don’t think there is anything wrong in giving suggestions but demanding and forcing is wrong! If a Writer is chosen for a project, it is because they have proved their worth and the makers have faith in them to do justice to the Show. I am sure the makers will think twice about the present scenario before coming up with a Season 2.
Viewers cannot be taken for granted:  In all probability, Parth Samthaan coming back to KY2 Season 2 could be a promotional tactic to market KY2 Season 2. Parth had almost quit KY2 in March 2015 but had given statements that he is not quitting when he was all set to quit. It is only later he changed his decision and confirmed to fans that he is ‘not going anywhere as of now’. However, he also gave a statement on TOI saying, “There is no specific time when I will leave. If I find something that is appropriate for me or something that makes me grow as an actor, I will take that up”. He also has made clear in many Interviews that he wants to try doing new things especially films and KY2 is most probably his last Show. If the Makers of the Show are trying to market the new season using the name of the Show and Parth’s popularity to make KY2 fans watch KYY Season 2, then the consequences can be really bad if they won’t be able to fulfill their promise of Manik’s re-entry. If the fans can make a Channel or Actor popular, they are capable of destroying too! If the makers have seen the response for twitter trend ‪#‎NoKyyWithoutParthNiti‬, they may wrap up KY2 once for all giving it a happy ending and probably may drop their plans for Season 2 as there is too much negativity. Anyways, all news of Parth Samthaan in KY2 Season 2 at the moment are just assumptions as neither the makers nor the actor has given any statement regarding the same.
Good, Bad or Ugly… Shows can influence Viewers: Yes, Shows and Characters can influence viewers. So it is the moral responsibility of Channel and makers to come up with content that will influence the viewers positively. While I agree that KY2 has tried to highlight some society issues, they have not been very successful doing it. While I fully agree with Gay rights, I definitely can’t accept a student teacher relationship (Neither in KY2 nor in Warrior High). My Indian ethos and values are against anything that violates the purity of the teacher-student relationship.  Whatever the reasons, I can’t also justify the act of bullying or sleeping around.  Any KY2 viewer will accept that the character of Nandini has been butchered beyond repair. If you are a visitor of KY2 forums, social networking or fan pages you will see a lot of teens displaying symptoms of depression and obsession. I personally know many KY2 fans who have confessed that KY2 has affected their studies and personal lives.  Two days back I saw a tweet @fireflies640 saying, “Fear of losing MaNan is so much that one MaNan fan got hospitalized. Pray for her!” The writer of KY2 Vishal Watwani @vagabond_vishal tweeted in response to the tweet, “Nothing is bigger than your ownself, so plz plz take care n b responsible to yourself”. But can we really expect that from teenagers? Can the Channel and makers really wash their hands off their moral responsibility towards viewers? While I sympathize with whoever it is, I can’t help laughing when I remember another tweet from @2310ayesha to Narendra Modi saying, “What are you doing? KY2 CV’s are ruining Manik ka character n u r sitting silently? Do something! MaNan can’t end like this!” This tweet is a perfect example of how desperate and obsessed some fans are.
I mean no offense to anyone! But after witnessing the obsession for a Show like KY2, I had to write this! Since it is not certain if Parth Samthaan will return in KYY season 2, I think the Creative’s should close all loops and give a logical end to the story once for all than drag it to Season 2.  Do you agree with me or not? Do share your opinion!
