Desi hearts straight away go out to the daily soaps on the television serials. Within a matter of few weeks the protagonists almost become the household names and our daily routine revolves around them! Speaking of Indian TV serials, Ekta Kapoor gets a major share of credit to make it popular in our system. Her hit serials starting with letter 'K' ruled the small screen. The trend has been still going on without 'K'. Look at this 5-year-old serial 'Yeh Hai Mohabbatein'. The show started on the lines of Manju Kapoor's novel 'Custody' but got diverted elsewhere in 5 years. Naturally, despite the popularity of lead stars Raman and Ishita (Karan Patel and Divyanka Tripathi), the fans are demanding to put the show to end. However, the TRPs are not letting Ekta to pull the plug!
As this hashtag #endYHM started trending, the producer hit back tweeting, "For once I’ll say it my frns!Instead of hash tagging #endyhm stop watching it!!All stories will not go as u wish as an audience !! I love my tv audience I value ur opinion Bt our creatives work with ratings n tv norms! This is for show fan groups!Love n respect always."This did not go down well with the Twitterati. The fans questioned her whether TRP is the only key content to run a show!
When Fans Reminded Her of All the Love
Trust me... people have stopped watching...!!! And how easily you said stop watching... Remember fans made the show what is it...!!! So instead of dragging it with useless drama... just #EndYHM

A Valid Question by a Fan Who Follows YHM Religiously
We know the story will not go acc to us, we are seeing it since 2015 now. We opposed but you still took 7 years leap and made them saas sarur.
But what kind of TV norm is showing that a 'husband is telling his wife to remain infertile for next 7 births'
Huh 🙄#EndYHM

Well, the quality of a show matters to the pan India audience and not just 'fan groups' as Ekta claims. We hope that she takes into consideration the opinion of the fans as well who poured love on her serial in the first place. The TRPs will always follow if the content is intact. What say?
