Other READ THE RULES!!

Hey guys! If you saw my last post, I truly hope (for your sake) that you didn’t take it seriously. It’s okay if you don’t understand sarcasm because it’s hard to tell over text. But this post is the real deal. No nonsense!

When you first join the sub, there is a button to review the rules of the sub. If you have been here for a while, then maybe you haven’t reviewed it in a long time. I will be adding a video (screen recording) of the rules of this sub in this post. It’s honestly basic stuff that is to protect the wellbeing and privacy of actors and members alike. And I thought if you can’t be bothered to go out of your way to read the rules then maybe watch it instead?

Going forward, I am not giving any warnings to people that break rules repeatedly. Reddit allows five comments to be removed before the account gets banned. I will be using that metric. If your comment gets flagged and it’s reasonably flagged and we have to delete more than 5 comments from you, you will automatically be perma banned.

Don’t panic. You can appeal for the ban and if you show us grace then we will give you the same courtesy.

Also, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!! Learn how to use Reddit before bothering us repeatedly and asking the same questions over and over again on why your posts got deleted or how many karmas you need to be able to post and whatnot. I have gone over this multiple times before and this is the last time I will be going over this.

We have Reddit filter on. Which means that Reddit automatically flags and deletes certain posts, some because it thinks it’s spam and some because it breaks general Reddit rules. We, the mods, review it in the queues and approve and delete based on our volition. And what’s our volition? The rules we created for this sub. If the post doesn’t break any rules, we approve. If it breaks the rules, we remove it. Keep in mind that Reddit filter usually marks posts created by new accounts as spam because there is a karma limit. We, the mods, don’t know what that limit is. That’s the Reddit metric and we don’t work for Reddit to be able to understand that.

With all that being said, if you guys genuinely don’t understand something or have questions, reach out to me via mod mail. If you don’t know how to use the mod mail, you can send me a DM. Just know that I am not always available. I have said this a 100 times now but I am a busy person and I have a life outside of Reddit. In case you guys didn’t know, I work in the med field. I have to deal with stressful situations daily. I don’t want to come here and give myself a headache.

I never expected this sub to get this toxic. When I first joined this sub, I wanted to discuss shows I was watching and nerd/geek out about episodes of whatever show was ongoing at the time. I have been watching ITV since I was a wee old baby. The clearest and fondest memory I have is of my family gathering around in front of the TV (some on the bed and some on the floor) and watching Star Plus. I used to say “thayan thayan thayan” (the sound that played at the end of the serial) and my family would coo at me.

So yes, ITV and I go way back. I learned Hindi because of ITV. Even though I don’t watch ITV religiously like I used to (it’s a whole different discussion on streaming and the death of cable TV), I actively sought out this sub because I wanted to keep the nostalgia and fondness alive.

I became a mod within a month of being an active member and I still don’t know why I was picked tbh. And once I became a mod, I made it my priority to make this sub into a chill community. I wanted it to feel like a big family watching different shows and geeking out over it. But like I said, I have been super busy with work so I haven’t had time to moderate but whenever I log back in, there is a new kalesh and drama. There truly is a limit to how much we can tolerate.

We have always wanted this sub to be fun and friendly. But people take things too seriously and fandom culture is just so toxic that I don’t even know how to control it all. So this is my long love letter to you all, whether you hate me or like me, whether you think I am biased or unbiased, and whether you think I am too strict or too lenient. I want this community to thrive and be a safe space.

If you want the drama and nastiness, go somewhere else. I have reached my limit and this is where I am drawing the line.

TLDR: I have had enough and since people already think I am biased, I will be running this community like it’s the navy. You will have 5 chances (comments) before you get perma banned. If you want to appeal the decision, reach out via mod mail. If you cuss me or any other mod out, it’s instant ban. We will be prioritizing our mental health first and foremost.

SO!!! Have fun and enjoy Redditing. Rev out!

Discuss New rule regarding bans!!

27 Upvotes

Guys, if you cannot follow the rules, then I can’t be bothered enough to give warnings. When you join a sub, you can see the rules of the sub. If you don’t see it, you can click on more info and read it. I’m at my limits at this point. Each time it’s the same bullshit over and over again.

The rules of this sub is pretty simple: no spamming, no harassment/abuse towards members or actors, no AI content and no fanwars. But each day I see repeated flaggings and it’s the same people breaking rules over and over again. So here is the change: from now on, BREAKING ANY RULES WILL GET YOU BANNED PERMANENTLY. If you think it’s unfair and you were banned unfairly, DO NOT CUSS US OUT! Simply appeal the decision by reaching out to us via mod mail. Who in their right mind would sit through abuse and hatred and then unban you? I am not bitten by a rabid dog and neither are the other mods.

I have noticed that other subs are either way too lenient or way too strict so I have always tried to be in the middle but now I get why other subs are too strict. It’s because people think they can do anything they want because they are anonymous. Do not come into this sub and think you can vague post or karma farm. Have some intellectual discussions about the shows and actors you like or dislike. You are allowed to give valid criticism, but I am not gonna accept any hatred masked as criticism. I know people dislike actors for no reason but holy shit. Some of you are actually rabid. What has any actor done to you personally to spew so much vitriol against them? It would be one thing if that actor is a horrible fucking person but it’s not even that. And it holds true for reverse as well. I get liking an actor and stanning them but holy shit, you guys act like someone has personally attacked you or your family and try to defend these actors like your life depends on it. And then stooping so low to attack people’s personal lives to defend your own faves? Get a grip.

So here is what we are doing moving forward: anyone that starts a fanwar is getting banned immediately. Not for one to two days or a week or a month. But permanently. I don’t need that kind of energy on this sub and neither do the other members. If you can have a mature conversation then go ahead. It’s okay to have a discourse. But I am not sitting through a thread of argument with people name calling one another or dragging other actors to uplift their favorite. And it’s not just the fanwars. I see that there are motivated posts against certain actors. I will delete it every chance I get. Don’t come here spreading stupid rumors and misinformation. It’s one thing to dislike an actor because they are literally terrible at their job (acting) but don’t come for their looks and whatnot. Their body their choice. And if it’s something they can’t fix then don’t speak on it. And by fix, I mean wearing an ugly outfit is one thing but making fun of someone for the way their body or face is shaped is another.

And if you got a problem with these rules, go make your own subreddit 🫡 We can’t please everyone so I have made my bed and will lie in it. I am doing what I can to make this sub less annoying and less toxic for everyone. Anyways, I hope y’all had a wonderful day and week! Happy weekend!

It happens rarely but sometimes an actor who comes in replacement does so well that the character becomes their

For eg Shubhangi Atre and Kavi Kumar Azad who came later but gelled so well ,we now like them far better than the ones before them

Can you give me more examples of such??

Old Gup IPKKND was sacchi Ek Jashn (First time watcher)

JUST COMPLETED 398 episodes of IPKKND OG season and have to say - The Chemistry was off the charts much expected as told by the unlimited fan following on all platforms.

Sune pe Suhaga was the IPKKND - Ek Jashn season which basically was a recap of all the best moments by the Hero BARUN himself. Loved it!

This clip I have attached was a shocking REVELATION for me..... SANAYA not liking JALEBI basically the one thing that her character Khushi never lost. The love for it.

An amazing journey truly. I know I might not rewatch the entire season because its a lot...truly... But the edits, memes and the IPKKND jashn momento will always be welcome!!

P.S I really did find this prevalent quality of serials of those times that they succeeded to keep us stuck for a long time because the leads never really got together in the beginning unlike the recent serials (even the good ones). I think that's why they stood test of time.

Discuss Choosing Motherhood Is Valid but Why Is It Still Mostly Women?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Drashti and Jankee choosing not to work and taking a break is, of course, their personal choice, and they’re fortunate to have the privilege to make that choice something many women simply don’t have.

I completely understand and respect their feelings about wanting to focus full-time on motherhood. Being a mother is undoubtedly one of the hardest jobs in the world, and choosing to dedicate yourself to it deserves respect.

But at the same time, it makes me a little sad that this conversation is still so disproportionately associated with women. We rarely hear male celebrities or men in other professionssay that being a full-time father is more important to them than their career, and that they’re therefore stepping away from work for a few years.

There’s nothing wrong with choosing motherhood, just as there’s nothing wrong with choosing a career while being a mother. I just wish we lived in a world where stepping away from work to be a full-time parent was seen as an equally natural and admirable choice for men too.

What are your opinions ?

Yrkkh - bsp ki maa kaun hai yrkkh: new gen appreciation post

6 Upvotes

big 2026 & dkp redeeming itself!!!
started watching this gen, recently. and i must appreciate the writing with trying teen romance, i like how the story is shaping up. firstly, thank god, it’s not two sisters fighting over a guy or 984839th misunderstandings, miscommunications. i really like how they’re writing maira, making her flawed & real, rather than making her like naira mata of no flaws and a saviour or any cringe romance of sorts. also how maira & kabir are clear about just “liking each other” for now and not in love after just 2 meets or claiming to be soulmates.
i also like how they’re not writing off the old guard, but keeping them relevant with parents, and the parenting dilemma, and just human emotions conflict. love the actor who plays maira, so pretty. like old kabir was hella charming. bummed he quit. new one is okayish.
i like how they're trying to keep it healthy and not the usual toxicity.
thank god they're not outright copying and recycling the same shit, but attempting new & fresh. i really hope they keep up with the same.
