Man’s angry letter to the channel
The man penned a letter to the channel Set Max (Sony Max) and stated that he, along with his family, have now watched ‘Sooryavansham’ enough and that they know each and every detail about Heera Thakur (Big B) and his family members Radha, Gauri and others.
“I want to know how many times has the channel telecast ‘Sooryavansham’ until now? And how many more times will it be played on the small screen in future?” he questioned.
He went on to ask, “If this affects our mental health or if it drives us crazy, who will be responsible for it? Please take the pains to inform us.”

The unidentified man’s letter left netizens in splits, with several claiming that they totally relate to him and his frustration.
