Dear Star Plus,
It with due respect, yet with a lot of anger and a heavy heart I write this email. The news of Giaa Manek who portrays Gopi in Saath Nibhana Saathiya being replaced is indeed a big shocker to all her fans.
Every actor should be allowed to pursue their dreams no matter what show they are doing. It is highly unfair to behave in such an unruly manner with actors who put in their best and work hard in order to please viewers. Besides, when there has been an history of Star Plus actresses taking part in shows of other channels, how could you prevent Giaa from doing so, and how could you take such a wrong and inappropriate step?
As for Giaa, well
when Saathiya first started and moved on she was and she still is the face which comes to everyone's mind when we say "Gopi Bahu"... She's made her place in every household and heart today. The way she portrayes the innocence and sweetness is extraordinary. She is one of the main reasons why Saathiya became the No.1 show worldwide. Giaa is Gopi and Gopi is Giaa, no matter what, NO ONE can replace her..
It is not Giaa who is acting unprofessional, it is Star Plus whose behaviour and attitude towards budding actors is atrocious... Actors work so hard and this is the kin of respect you give them?
"Rishta Wahi, Soch Nayi", holds no meaning at all! This means that even if the relationship is the same, thinking is different...
Well there seems to be no new thinking at all, just war, competition and dirty politics.
One more point to note, one of the main reasons why Star Plus got the highest GRPs was because of Saathiya..Saathiya is surely going to dip in TRPs drastically. If the TRPs of saathiya reduce more  due to the new face of Gopi, then it would prove very fatal to Star Plus, even though Diya aur Baati Hum is leading... Star Plus is really ruining its name and reputation..
I suggest it is high time, you bring Giaa back, or you will surely regret having sacked her.
How could you portray values such as justice, fairness, goodness, devotion to god, following your dreams and compassion in your serials when you cannot express them in reality!?
Should I assume you are hypocritical?
On the last note, viewers of Saathiya have been yearning to see the blossoming love story between Gopi and Ahem for the past two years... Just when this show was about to take a wonderful turning point in their love story, how could you replace the main lead!
Every day, viewers crave to see Ahem and Gopi scenes, in fact, I am one of them too! People will really lose interest of this wonderful, budding love story..
Giaa and Nazim share an exceptional chemistry and that is also one of the main reasons saathiya has been prospering and moving on! No one can replace Ahem and Gopi ( Giaa or Nazim)
Now, Saath Nibhana Saathiya has been all ruined, thanks to Star Plus..
It is your job to make viewers happy and show them what they want to see and who they want to see, in turn viewers are the people who decide which channel is the best, based on how pleasing a particular show is...
I don't know if a long mail or rather a rant from a mere viewer like me would change your mind, for all you know it may go unnoticed, but all I would like to beg and plead of you is to bring our wonderful, cute Gopi bahu aka Giaa Manek back. Giaa has been treated very badly off late by Star Plus and we ask for justice. We will be more than happy and thank you profusely if you bring Giaa back and pretty sure TRPs will rocket...
Thank you,
An upset fan of Giaa and Saathiya
No Giaa, No Saathiya, mark my words..

Dear Star Plus and Rashmi Sharma, Please consider bringing Giaa Manek back as Gopi Vahu in Saath Nibhana Saathiya. I tried to watch today's show to give the new girl a chance, but it didn't work. Giaa is Gopi and Gopi is Giaa. If you can't bring her back, please end the show. If you can, please wait for her role in Jhalak to finish and bring her back afterwards. This is a great show with a potential to achieve more heights for you in future. Please don't give up on the show and Giaa Manek. Work something out and continue with the show. Thank you.

we want giaa back as gopi vahu...please accept all our viewer's requests and bring her back...we waited for 2.5 years for ahem-gopi confession...and everything that happened recently disappointed us big time.the new girl has of course put in all her efforts but she cant compete with giaa's emotions, expressions and passion towards the scene.
Please bring back giaa...because she is the only girl who acts well for "gopi" character.

For the sake of the show's TRP and connectivity with the audience, please bring back Gia. The new actress playing the role of Gopi doesnt even know how to pronounce the word "Ben" in traditional Gujarati accent, she kept on saying Raashi Behen..what the hell.. It is not Behen..Its a horrible change. Please bring back Gia for the show's TRP to not drop. No one can fit in her shoes.

Star Plus and Rashmi Sharma
Please bring Giaa Manek back to Saath Nibhana Saathiya. The show was at its crucial point and you replaced the soul of the show overnight. This is totally unfair on Giaa Manek and the viewers too. Giaa is not the only one who has done two shows at the same time. Then why treat her differently? She agreed to do both shows and said that the serial will not be affected. Could you not meet her half way in this case? She was loyal to the show she was doing and so, it is not nice of the channel and production house to call her "unprofessional" and question her sincerety. Saath Nibhana Saathiya is not going to be the same without Giaa. The chemistry Giaa shares with Mohammad Nazim is one of a kind and cannot be replaced. Many of us watch it for Nazim and Giaa only.Saath Nibhana Saathiya has only brought you success, but you have let go of this success by replacing Giaa Manek. Rashmi Sharma, if you care about YOUR show, then I request that you bring back Giaa Manek.

we want giaa as gopi back.sns in nothing without gopi(giaa) and ahem(nazim) they make a great chemistry.it was better to kill gopi aka giaa and ahem aka nazim in that fire and end the show rather than replacing gopi.please bring giaa as gopi back otherwise we all sns fans will stop watching the show and the show will go downhill.

Please bring the old gopi vahu... this new face ...can't bear her any more, u pll are just ruining your serial... U hv no idea after this episode am not feeling like watching it any more, this new face can not be gopi actually no one can be like her, Its ma humble request from core of ma heart plzzz bring giaa back. Hope star plus ll understand this. Otherwise channel ll lose this serial. And after seeing this reaction from all over, team of saathiya should take serious action. If U guys can't do any thing then stop this serial.
I really don't know after such remorse reaction from viewer whether anything going to change or not but m sure about one thing that m not the only one who dislike new gopi vahu there r lot of fans So, i wish, soon we can see r old gopi vahu (ie Giaa Manek).

Hello Rashmi Sharma/Star Plus production team,

Please answer three questions...No.1 -Why are you having an ego trip with JIA?
No.2 -Why are you dual faced(hypocrite)?[Different rules for different people]-you guys are exploiters and unscrupulous advantage takers(thats my opinion and that of many others who are saathiya fans ONLY FOR JIA, , REMEMBER NO JIA NO SAATHIYA)
No.3 -Will you or will not bring back JIA? If you bring back your show will resume back in flying colors, who cares, may be you guys would not bother about one soap's TRP rates, you guys are glamorous, rich etc etc whatever jazzz, crap God knows...other Soaps might do well, but please do not forget that most of the audience are same for every soap...(mostly), and people will not forget so easily and let go the soul of the show and will switch easily to other channels...AND BECAUSE OF YOUR STUPID DECISION YOU GUYS WILL HAVE TO PAY A PRICE BUY SHELLING OUT TRPs and your competitors will hail, be happy that you guys have such a BAD NAME.

Its WISE to bring JIA back!Please bring her back and let her aspire her dreams as well!DO NOT CHEAT HER LIKE THIS, YOU GUYS IN JUST NEAR FUTURE WILL END UP CHEATING YOURSELVES...

LRC...Gia's fan and supporter of justice.

This is for Rashmi Sharma, We request you to please take back Gia as Gopi to the serial. As many viewers request you to take her back, even we request u to please take her back. The serial is really fantastic. After Gopi strugling for her love with her husband Ahem and now you disappoint her for not acting it is really not fair. Actually many other co-stars in Hindi & different languages also act in 2 to 3 serials, so please do not disappoint viewers, actually i think some viewers as mentioned like when there was a fire and when Gopi goes to save Ahem i think you could have a killed her in the episode and that would have been the better, Now when she is getting closer to Ahem and when start loving her you have taken her out why, Now have you seen the rating of your serial before when she was acting & now after is gone. I think Please Rashmi & other's of SNS we request still nothing is happened, please take Gia back and then you see the serial will go very nice. You some episodes of the serial is really heart touching and many episodes i have literally cried seeing her acting. Gia is done her original acting like showing shyness to husband and scared to mother-in-law which is really too good. After so many viewers advice i think SNS should a fast decission at the earliest. Will hope to see the serial with Gia back at earliest with wonderful episodes.
