Karan Wahi Slams The Makers Of Cringeworthy Serial ‘Pehredaar Piya Ki’ And It Makes Sense!

We are well acquainted with the fact that we no longer have ‘quality’ TV shows like we had, back in the day. ‘Malgudi Days’, B.R. Chopra’s ‘Mahabharata’, ‘Dekh Bhai Dekh’ and many more. They took the time, well-written scripts and amazing actors to introduce us to valuable lessons of life, our culture or sometimes made us laugh.

But these days, we have shows that talk about breaking stereotypes but end up breaking our calm. I would still sit myself through a ‘Naagin’ or ‘Sasural Simar Ka’ episode ignoring the hilarious VFX, but this new TV serial is beyond any forgiveness.

 

Yes, I am talking about the serial that is called ‘Pehredaar Piya Ki‘, which glorifies the indigestible love story between an adult woman and a 10-year-old kid. Its first episode aired yesterday and man, what a cringe fest!

It ended up glorifying stalking, normalising LOVE between a woman and a child and lots of things that would make you storm off the room.

 

And we are not the only people who feel this way. Renowned TV actor/anchor, Karan Wahi spoke his mind and slammed the makers and producers of the serial. In a Facebook Post, he wrote,

Dear producer and channel..
I understand we cant make shows like ‘How I Met Your Mother’ and ‘F.R.I.E.N.D.S’, and honestly I don’t expect us to also, but for the love of God and for the reason we all got in this industry please don’t sell me stupidity in the name of content which gives TRP because honestly, no one is watching this. Leave aside other people I think the fraternity only doesn’t. I wish and pray well for everyone who is a part of this show also but it would be great if we started enjoying our work and not just working because we don’t have an option…
Not to sound arrogant but we can be better than this.

 

Suyyash Rai, ex-Bigg Boss contestant, who is also on the show, put up an Instagram post writing that this is not what the show is about. He asked his fans to wait and let the story unfold. While constantly asking Tejaswi Prakash, the lead of the show, to smile, he said,

Pehredaar Piya Ki ❤️ ❤️ @tejasswiprakash baby smile 🙂 plz ❤️
Guys whatever @imkaranwahi said its his POV (point of view) no one can question him neither me nor you guys.
But this doesn’t change the fact that WE the whole team of #PPK we love this show and we all have worked really hard for it and we still are andddd we will ❤️ our motive is to entertain you guys not promote child marriage or anything.
This show is different, please dont judge it and jump onto conclusions ??
If a channel like @sonytvofficial has approved the show they must have thought something right ??? Even the producers must have thought a lot before making this and investing soo much money ?? its my request to all, please watch it first and then decide 🙂 maybe m wrong MAYBE 🙂 but lets wait n then decide.
Love to all ❤️❤️ n thanku for such a good response for the first episode .❤️ @tejasswiprakash baby smile 🙂 plz ❤️

 

Honestly, I DON’T WANT TO WAIT for the story to unfold because whatever it is, it is unjustified or is just being packaged the wrong way. For TRPs and catching people’s attention, you can’t normalise such a bizarre idea!

Half of our country follows TV serials like bible, including children. They sit together with family and watch them. If this is what you are leaving for your viewers, then it’s a shame.

Thank you Karan, for speaking your mind! We need more people like you in the industry.
