Social media expert Subin John jibed at KRK Twitter account suspension

Kamal R Khan, who has been into controversy every now and then for his derogatory remarks, is once again the talk of the town. The self-proclaimed film critic not only revealed the climax of Secret superstar on the micro-blogging site but also went on to personally target Aamir khan on Twitter. As a result of his act, Twitter suspended the official account thereby leading to humiliating comments from his followers as well as other users. Well known social media expert Subin John, owner of smdude.com, jibed at the entire controversy following the account suspension. 

Subin says, “I don’t understand what made Twitter wait for so long before suspending his account permanently. He has been breaking the policies of Twitter since long and this time he actually crossed the limits. Every user mandatorily needs to maintain his/her twitter account under the mentioned policies.” 

Compelled by his habit of going against the ethics, KRK once again crossed the level of disgust as he openly threatened to commit suicide on the social media platform if the twitter does not restores his account within a span of 15 days. The widely circulated press release says, “I request @TwitterIndia and staff Ms. Mahima Kaul, Viral Jani and Mr. Taranjeet Singhto restore my account within 15 days. 1st they did charge me millions of rupees and then suddenly suspended my account. So am depressed because they have cheated me. If they won’t restore my account I will commit suicide and all these people will be responsible for my death.” 

The whole issue was initiated after Kamal Khan revealed the climax of Secret Superstar. Things worsened when he openly criticized the movie by calling it a “deadly slow 2.5 hours torture (sic)" followed by a personal attack on Mr. Perfectionist. In a follow-up tweet, he disgraced Aamir saying, “if u r not a good father or ur father was not a good father whom u never respected then don’t say dat we don’t love children.” 

It was only later that Aamir filed a complaint in reference to the remark which led to the suspension of Kamal’s Twitter account. 

Adding to his opinion, Subin John, highly criticised the action saying, “revealing the climax of a commercial movie on a social media platform is extremely unethical. I completely condemn such unprofessional behaviour. Moreover, threatening to commit suicide on Twitter, a platform where almost 5 million people follow him, is majorly of unprofessional and nonsensical.”

Happy that my show is called a ‘children’s show’: Meri Durga producer Ravindra Gautam

Producer Ravindra Gautam’s Meri Durga seems to have not only found an ardent fan following in adults, but in children too. The show has been recently awarded the best children’s show at the ITA awards. “We got the best children's show award at ITA Awards recently. It has given a big boost to us and the whole team as it requires extreme hard work to make a show like this with such a different theme based on sports and to make it work amidst a sea of popular Saas bahu sagas,” says Ravindra. 

The producer adds that there is a need to make more shows for children today. “Children’s shows have almost vanished. There are no children’s shows as such. Our show was about a child and about her dreams, which we showed for a good six months. In today's day and age, children are just used to show the childhood of an actor for one month or two months. The problems children face today are hardly shown. My show was based on that, made on that and we are happy that it got the award for the Best Children Show. More than the best show award I like the tagline children’s show. I think it will be a step ahead making children watch television again because children hardly watch television now. If I got the Best Children Show Award then I think children are watching and coming back to television,” he says. 

He adds, “I think the era in which shows like Kacchi Dhup, Ek Do Teen Chaar were there, television was not a money-spinning medium. Now it's a money-spinning medium. Everything is about money, TRPs and the children’s shows don't come into the main categories of daily soaps.” 

Ravindra, himself, has a teenager son Aaroh at home and says that he, too, doesn’t have much to catch on the tube. “He doesn't watch television, especially daily soaps, he doesn't watch at all. He only watches YouTube content and he watches Netflix. He used to watch Meri Durga only till Durga was a child because he says there is no entertainment for him on television.  In mythological shows, children have scope to be interested, but not in daily soaps. In mythological shows, I really think that children learn more about our culture.  I think in the reality shows are just using children to make money,” he says.
