Sir,

I am not very big fan of nay serials of star..but the way they closing shaurya anokhi ki kahani is not appropriate..show has few good msg for today's generation rather just having saas bahu drama...where womeo should always be sacrifice ki Devi if not she is portrayed wrong..also star is closing it's new serials which is giving platform to new story and talents..but it gives a big part of screentime to it's old serials yeh rishta Kya kehlata edited and sath nibhana sathiya old one...same thing happening in other channels too ..why old serials repeated so much...CID Crime patrol savdhan India etc...we stopped watching TV and afternoons because of the repeated programs in all the channels...plz give chance to new stories and talents...let Anokhi and shaurya team get fair chance.

    Why Condom ad is shown between 10.30pm to 11.00pm on starplus everyday ? This time gap is considered as prime time. Why Starplus is so hungry to earn money out of condom ads that too during prime time. Our kids wre also awake with us. Show some maturity.

            The show Shaurya Aur Anokhi Ki Kahani on starplus India is going to off-air which is the current best ITV show in india. The show is based on the real current affairs. The show is bringing the real taboo of society, breaking the stereotypes and norms of the ITV. This show addresses about Indian society's problem and orthodox mentality. It talks about girls education, independence and empowerment. How the society is always man leading where the girls face the hurdles for their rights. Indian starplus is more of the terms in TRP but we don't know how the TRP measured but as the fan base is so huge definetely there is an issue in TRP. The show has been slot leader from months when it was not promoted, in dead slot & not telecast repeatedly. But then it suddenly got decreased & got stable losing the slot leader though the situation is doubtful. Here the fan base is getting increased and one of the strong fanbase of Starplus. We don't want to lose the real show which is so positive, realistic, unique, inspiring & motivating for youth as well as the perspective changer for the adults and old ones.

            Please request you to reconsider the decision. The show is so deserving in every aspects.There is stil a lot in story to tell. There are teenage, students and adults who get inspired by the show. This show has changed so many people in a best way. There are people who got inspired by show & chose their dream in real life. The teenage & students are being traumatized after getting news of show being off -air. All fans have trended for continuously day & night for 5 days and still are doing. SLOT CHANGE FOR SAAKK & Extend SAAKK has reached 1Millions + tweets in history of ITV trends.

            An earnest request to starplus to not off - air the phenomenal show. If alternate please change the slot for the show or shift to another star channel or other channels. Hope to be heard & waiting for positive good news. Thank you.
            I'm the regular viewer of shaurya or anokhi ki khani. I'm the biggest fan of this show. I love this show very much. I request to starplus to please take your decision back and please continue this serial.

              The serial Anupama should be blocked because it shows rubbish content in the name of indian house wife which is not at all possible in todays time. It creates trouble in joint families where there are working women and does not fall to the expectations of indian bahu shown in ur serial. Your serial disturbs the environment at indian house hold between saas n bahu...plz stop showing such rubbish stuff 🙏

                  Sir, we, our family and relatives love the serial "Ye hai Chahte" especially due to the amazing kid "Sharansh" a child of Prisha and Rudra.
                  It's our humble request to get back Sharansh in the serial.
                  Please please please.
                  Without him, the serial became boarding . We miss him too much.

                    Mujhe star plus ke sabhi shows ke episode gande lagte hai aajkal family or bachho ke sath to yeh shows dekh hi nahi sakte kuch shows hai jaise ki anupama, Imali, Yeh rishta kya kehlata hai sab mein 2 pati or 2 patni ka roll khaskar imali serial bahut hi bekar dikha rahe hai khaskar anu ji ka seen har time gande word use karti hai itni high society ka roll diya hai par ghatiya bate karke roll ka apman kar rahi hai waise unki galti nahi hai jo show wale seen denge wahi to karenge.
                    Agali bar agar language nahi sudhari gayi to mein consumer complain karunga please kuch dhang ka dikhaiye.

                      Dont show such things that house chores is only for women. In your serial its currently showing that anupama and kinjal is doing all work of house. Whereas kavya who is not able to do it so others judge her according to it. In yohr one episode you mentioned that anupama has made their all children self dependent but its not at all shown as you say it. None of them help in house chores rather they just sit on dining table and just gossip. And stop showing such non sense that Anupama is always right in whatever she says and kavya is always wrong. No person can be completely right or wrong.

                        This serial being aired on Star Plus is such a crap. While commercialization is ok, there is a responsibility to have some moral ground. This is disgrace at its peak with the entire family encouraging polygamy, women in the family having affairs with other family members,
                        Most importantly it shows the entire heads of family supporting wrong doings and cruelty in every single instance. I guess this serial is a disgrace and demeans the society and the human race at large. Depicting humans in such a cheap way is so sad and this serial has to be removed and should go off air immediately.

                        It is getting worse by the episode and it has crossed the line of tolerable indecency. It is actually leaving a very negative impact and it has to go off air.

                          The serial airing nowadays "gum hai kisi ke pyaar mein" is a provoking show which is harming the mental health and spreading negativeness and negative ideas among family members. Anyone has no right to do anything for TRP this show is much worse then big boss. This dialogues are stupid and the content and storyline is ridiculous. The irritating dialogues are being repeated again and again. Either try to change the storyline and content or stop the show being aired.

                            Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin is disgusting show on star plus... Full of negativity and fights, this serial literally provokes everyone to fight for silly things, there is no more peace of mind left in our family. The main purpose of this show is to teach how to fight and yell at others, this show is affecting our way of healthy conversation. Request to take action.
                            Hello Star Plus

                            Ghum hai kisike pyar mai, sai aur virat ki jodi bahut acchi lagti hai.

                              Good afternoon,
                              I have been watching star plus since many years and being a loyal viewer i have been currently noticing it's growth toward different daily soaps. The level of star plus in producing good shows is going down, like 9 out of 10 shows are just love stories or a typical family drama while other channels are also promoting shows that are mythological, historical, comedy, love story, social awareness, etc.types of serials but your channel has just one genre to produce remakes of baseless and senseless and moraless love stories. Kindly look upon it as a issue as we are also paying for this entertainment channel and try to promote some social message kind of serials rather than stupid love stories. I hope you will look upon it as a issue.

                                I wish to bring to your kind notice the deteriorating quality of programmes that are being telecast on your channel. Yeh rishta kya kehlata was a family show now they are trying to show love out of wedding locks. A girl who married her lover falling for another man. This serial is passing a wrong message to the society . Marriage is not a joke and many may really get influenced by this.An action should be taken against it as majority of people on social media are criticizing this track.

                                    My complaint is that stop showing those ridiculous advertisements about coronavirus because you have over exaggerated the coronavirus this virus is not killing people and Away day you keep saying on the advertisements the disease is even deadlier than it is that is not true it's false information if this busy is was so deadly you wouldn't need to have a test to know you're had it and you wouldn't even be able to go out on the street exactly it's not a killer virus isn't just like the common flu virus 99.8 percent is the survival rate stop showing Dozer ridiculous advertisements on Star Plus channels about coronavirus and we know that a hardly anyone in the hospital because we've got families who work in the hospitals and we have to go off what's been said by the real people who are working on the ground

                                      Timing of ye rishta kya kehlata hai serial is too much . Must reduce its time upto one hour . It is too compulsory to reduce family violence.

                                        Hello Star plus,

                                        I have a complain for you that you don't do any repeat telecast of t.v serial Shaurya aur Anokhi ki kahani that's my favourite show. You should do two to three repeat telecast cast of it in a day. I remember when Saath Nibhana Saathiya season 1 would came at 7o clock you would always make many repeat telecast of it. But now when Shaurya aur anokhi ki kahani is coming on 7p.m you don't make any repeat telecast that's wrong.

                                        Also if you can you please change its timing between 8 to 9 or 10 because at 7 p.m my mother doesn't allow to switch on the tv but some how I manage to convince her very rarely. I have hotstar but I don't have that perimium something so I have to download every episode of it. Also it's trp is getting down day by day this is the best show from that saas bahu drama serials which my mother sees and whenever I see those drama I have a headache. Also news are coming that Shaurya aur anokhi ki kahani will get off air if you that I will be very angry with you Star plus.

                                        Please it's a request make repeat telecast and if you can change its timing. I bet you if you change it's timing this show will be on top.

                                        Warm regards from
                                        Saakk' s fan

                                                  I request to starplus channel, to please restart the mahabharat show in morning 8:00am. Its give a positive vibes in starting of day. The morning serials are like giving negative vibes they are not good and people are less intrested in watching the serials you telecasting in morning.
                                                  Soo please restart mahabharat in morning

                                                      Why Star Plus is so obsessed with the serial YRKKH... It seems a never ending story which is just dragging.
                                                      Even it has started from the beginning too ...
                                                      There are so many other stories...
                                                      YRHPK stopped so quickly and not even they are showing any repeat telecast.
                                                      Full day it's just YRKKH new..then old... And with them SNS1 and 2...
                                                      Please stop it...

                                                        Pls relaunch this show. One of the most progressive shows ever…with the same cast…it will do well if marketed properly…it’s much better than some of the other shows happening rite now…it’s time to take TV content to the next level…if not at least launch it as a web series…pls…there would

                                                            Why all the serials are showing two women fighting for one guy. Literally am fed up, I don't watch them particularly because I don't have another way instead of watching what my family is watching.
                                                            Already it's a pandemic without any interactions, sports, movies etc., and you are fueling with these kind of stuff. BTW the advertisements in this channel are tooooo repetitive.
                                                            Lastly, I know your ### channel is not gonna do anything after reading this, am just relaxing by putting my badass here. I'll pray that one day this channel must get washed away.. Uff that's it.
