Writing from the make-up room



The last few days have been incredible. Since my first post about 5 days ago, I've received loads of blog-comments and emails. I honestly did not expect my blog to generate such a response so soon. It truly is humbling.

While it is impossible for me to reply to each and every one of you, the one issue that seems to be coming up quite often in all your comments is the fact that quite a lot of you want me to leave Kasamh Se because according to you it's not the same as it used to be. Now guys- whether I agree with you or disagree with you is not the question here. However, there are a few points I'd like to make-

Firstly, I am just TOO attached to Kasamh Se. But more than that and more importantly, KS has given me so, so much...I mean, c’mon guys - most of you wouldn’t be here reading my blog if it wasn’t for KS. Last but certainly not the least, a commitment is a commitment.

While I respect all of your opinions, I can not disregard the fact that there still are hundreds of thousands of women all over the country who are still die hard fans of Kasamh Se and it would be an injustice to all of them if I were to leave the show. Don’t get me wrong guys – I do see where you guys are coming from. In my younger days I have walked away from projects on more than one occasion (you can blame it on creative differences, arrogance or just lack of experience). But today I am a married man and a father and I now have 10 years of work experience behind me. Which is why, today I realise that a commitment is a commitment, and if I want to be able to call myself a professional, then I better be professional in all my dealings. Just because you don't like something in life, you can't always walk away from it (I want my daughter to learn this so I better practice what I preach). So guys - whether I like it or not – KS is something that I will see through to the end.

Tini – your mail's the longest mail I've received yet (1000 words…. phew!!!). You write pretty well. Maybe you should write a book sometime.

Priya – 'All the Best' for your 12th!

Alright you guys – dinner break is now over so I guess it's back to work for me. Ciao!

Keep smiling,
Ram
