It was a show that once gripped the nation, pulling in massive ratings and sparking fierce debates across living rooms and Twitter feeds alike. But now, after years of melodrama, emotional manipulation, and what fans call “repetitive nonsense,” Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin might finally be reaching its end. And surprisingly — or perhaps not — the internet isn’t mourning. In fact, it’s celebrating.

Whispers began circulating earlier this week when an insider leak suggested that the channel was considering pulling the plug on Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin, citing declining TRPs and growing audience fatigue. What followed was not sorrow, but something far more shocking: memes, laughter, and an online bash that no one saw coming.

“Finally! This garbage is going off air!” tweeted one user. Another commented, “My mom forced me to watch it every day, now I can breathe again.” The hashtags #GHKPMOffAir and #KachraSerial trended for hours, accompanied by brutally honest commentary and videos of viewers tearing up posters, parodying scenes, and even lighting symbolic ‘farewell diyas’ to mark the show’s expected exit.

It’s rare for a daily soap — especially one from the massive Star Plus roster — to receive such a sendoff. Most series wrap up with nostalgia and emotional tributes, but Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin seems to be exiting with a storm of criticism, mockery, and a chorus of “good riddance.”

So what went wrong?

When it first aired, GHKPM promised to explore love, sacrifice, and complicated relationships. With a strong lead cast and gripping early episodes, it pulled in massive attention. But over time, viewers began to notice patterns. Recycled plots. Weak female characters. Villains who never faced consequences. Love triangles that never ended. And perhaps most frustrating of all, a male lead who fans dubbed “the most spineless husband in Indian television history.”

“I watched the show for a year hoping it would get better,” said Priya Sharma, a longtime viewer. “But it only got worse. They destroyed every character. I finally gave up when they brought back the same villain for the third time with zero logic.”

Social media has become a breeding ground for this frustration. Clips of over-the-top drama, illogical plot twists, and dragged-out scenes have been widely shared — often with sarcastic captions and eye-roll emojis. “I don’t know if it’s a soap opera or a comedy sketch,” one viral post read.

But while the negativity is loud, it also comes from a place of disappointment. Many fans feel the show had immense potential but lost its way trying to stretch its life for TRPs. The writing, which started out strong, gradually turned chaotic. Viewers were no longer invested in the characters because they no longer recognized them.

“There was a time I loved Sai,” said Twitter user @DramaQueen90. “She was strong, independent. But then they ruined her arc just to prop up Virat. I couldn’t take it anymore.”

Even actors associated with the show haven’t been spared. Some faced online trolling, others were typecast. And although the cast put in commendable performances, it was the writing and direction that fans blamed for turning the show into, as many described it, “a never-ending circus.”

Yet amid all the criticism, there are also those expressing quiet nostalgia. A few loyal fans have thanked the show for giving them memorable performances, emotional scenes, and relatable conflicts. “Yes, it fell apart,” wrote one viewer, “but I still remember how it made me cry in its early days. It deserved a better ending.”

Whether the show is truly ending or not, the backlash has sent a strong message to TV creators: audiences are no longer passive. They notice. They react. And they will not remain quiet when a show they once loved turns into something they no longer recognize.

Meanwhile, the production house has remained tight-lipped. No official statement has been released confirming the end of the series. But sources suggest the show might wrap up in the next couple of months to make way for a fresh concept.

Ironically, the online backlash might be the most publicity the show has received in months. Memes are flooding Instagram. YouTube channels are posting reaction videos. And forums are lighting up with users asking, “What took them so long?”

What makes this moment particularly interesting is how it reflects a larger trend. Television audiences are evolving. No longer satisfied with emotional blackmail and endless love triangles, they’re demanding smarter plots, stronger characters, and more accountability from creators. And if shows like Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin don’t deliver, viewers are more than happy to walk away — or in this case, cheer the exit.

As of now, the fate of the show hangs in uncertainty. But one thing is crystal clear: for a large part of the internet, GHKPM is already a closed chapter. Not with tears, not with applause — but with a collective sigh of relief.

In the words of one trending tweet: “Sometimes, the best plot twist is the end credits.”
