The show that has been going strong for the last eight years has finally reached the end of its rope. Star Plus has decided to axe the show 'cause of its sinking TRPs. I'm sure women all over the country are on the verge of a collective depression. My mom is on the verge of a breakdown. First Kahaani Ghar Ghar Ki was taken off air, now Kyunki is ready to bid its final farewell; my mom's world is not a happy place at the moment. Out of the 90 minutes she lived for every weeknight, 60 of those minutes have no meaning anymore. She still can't get over the fact that lovable, science defying Baa who stubbornly refused to die even as generations after her bit the dust, finally went into the light (and finally is not an understatement. Believe me). I keep trying to convince her that she was only a character on a television show and the actress isn't really dead, but all mom does is stare at me blankly and keep saying over and over again "I can't believe Baa is dead. How could they kill her? How can she die! How could they do this to us!?" And in response, I laugh and pointedly remind her that the show is going to end very very soon. Model daughter, eh?
I don't really find all this melodrama weird though 'cause hey, I'm no stranger to it myself. I had major withdrawl symptoms when Charmed ended. And who can forget the days before, during and after reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows? I cried after each death. I sobbed hysterically for 20 minutes when Dobby died, and I didn't even like him that much! I completely emphatized with Facebook groups like After Harry Potter Seven Comes Out I Won't Have Anything To Live For, I've Read Harry Potter # 7, Now What Am I Supposed To Do With My Life?!?!, I Can't Believe Harry Potter Is Actually Over, I Wish I Could Get Amnesia So I Could Re-experience Harry Potter Anew ...... well, you get the picture.
Getting back to the point, yes I sympathize with Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi lovers everywhere. I might not understand why you love what you love but I understand your broken hearts. I might find it absurd how you lap up whatever the show offers; the just-for-the-heck-of-it generation leaps, the deaths and re-births, the plastic surgeries, the so-bad-they're-funny dialogues, the ludicrous situations, the foolishness of it all; but my heart goes out to all you fans in this time of grief as you say goodbye to the show that spawned a saas-bahu revolution in Indian television. So goodbye Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. And good riddance too.

Interesting post and I think you forgot to mention one show which actually left us "wanting for more",Friends.I don't know if there could ever be a better show than that or heck,even come close to it.
I thought my mother would have the same effect as your mom,but she's gone on to different shows and different genres for that matter.Like Balika Vadhu which has actually been able to catch the attention of Indian households.
Also,there is some respite for Ekta Kapoor fans,the 10pm slot on Star TV has been given to another show but don't think it caters to the saas-bahu/Indian joint family topic addicts.

I meant another Ekta Kapoor(Balaji Telefilms) show for the 10pm slot.

Oh yeah I did cry during the F.R.I.E.N.D.S. finale too. But then I don't even need an excuse to cry usually lol so I kinda forgot. It's a good show but there are many other good shows too. I'm not biased.
I heard that the rising popularity of Balika Vadhu was one of the reasons Kyunki was axed. The 10 p.m. slot is another Ekta serial without the "K" but the 10.30 one is the Kiran Bedi show; you know? The court thingy. Mom was really excited about that show making a return until she realized (thanks to yours truly) that it was replacing Kyunki.

I'm a How I Met Your Mother(HIMYM) addict but nothing compares to Friends.Its just been all out amazingly funny.Yeah the 10pm slot is going to a show which doesn't have its name starting with a K.(Shocking).Its story line is how two people meet and their families have been enemies for centuries/decades/years and they obviously being oblivious to it,fall in love.Typical,huh?
Its a show making a return?I don't know.I don't think I've ever seen or heard about it.But as for Kyunki...I read its going to air on some other channel now.
Also a fact,Baa was told to be 93 years old when she "died".lol.ONLY!

omg, i totally identify with you over being very VERY miserable and hollow and depressed after reading HP and the Deathly Hallows...:(
And i can't believe it myself but there was a time when i was actually ADDICTED to kyunki saas...hehehe..bt tht was a long time ago when i had loads of free time every day but only one tv, which my mom stubbornly controlled so i kinda didn't have a choice. Though, about two years back, mom gave up on it too. THANK GOD!

Yeah I know what you mean Cx3. My mom had complete control over the remote from 10 to 11.30 every Monday to Thursday. But now the remote monopoly has come to an end *cheers*
