REBLAST 1 Episode 1 - 5 - Page 3

^ Indi di yes... that same forum with Cecilia! I visit there now and then. We used to discuss ipk when it was airing. I was on both forums at that time.

I guess I am one of the few who started watching Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon right from the very first minute of the first episode.. granted it was 2 years after the show had ended..aah the good old days when episode one was on youtube for new viewers like me to watch.

Anyway, so I watched because I wanted to see Sanaya Irani in this talkative role and knew nothing at all about the show.. the background music caught my attention first.. the initial wedding song was rustic and pleasing.. Payal the bride was pretty.. I was a little impatient when Khushi came.. I feared she would be one of those too cute do-gooder heroines.

A man stepped out in style off a helicopter.. I thought oh no.. another supposedly model types guy who won't have any idea how to act.. which won't matter because the heroine will be the only one speaking and getting all the attention. This man won't have a role.

I saw his scene with chachaji.. yes was intrigued but still quite skeptical.. so he speaks less and his face is closed and aloof.. maybe he will just be expresionless throughout.. the pigeons and sheesh mahal were beautiful.. I kept watching

It was night time and a fashion show.. he called a smiling di on stage.. I had started to like his accent.. and then he closed his eyes.. and I watched riveted.. was he acting? did he mean to swallow just then.. and did his jaw just clench? Had I ever noticed such things in other actors?

Sanaya had a cute poem.. bhul bhulaiya mori maiya.. and puri khasta.. she was different from the role I knew her in.. quite charming here actually.. She was pushed onto the stage.. his eyes remained closed..

She closed her eyes..he opened his.. She stood shivering.. he stood up unmoving.. the music notes had started to ascend.. Strangely beautiful was the girl as she covered herself with a golden shimmering dupatta.. he looked on unblinking.. yes why wasn't he blinking? oh was it the past his di had spoken about that made him this way?

I was already rooting for a love story.. how would she break into jhis self imposed walls of darkness.. how would he let her in..

Then she slipped..

right into his arms.. his gaze slid over her.. leisurely.. scorching..simmering.. for an infinite moment.. her fingers were curled onto him.. her pink lips quivered.. he stared right at them.. now she swallowed.. unsure..taken a back.. regular girls don't find themselves in handsome enigmatic stranger's strong arms.. and never ever does anyone look at them with this intensity..

what must she be thinking? i wanted to know desperately.. I didn't come to know that exactly, but a second later she squirmed to get our of his grip.. and he jerked her back completely unfazed and unapologetic.. ensuring she remained in his arms..

the world and everyone in it had fallen away.. all that remained was me and my love story with the two absolutely gorgeous people on screen.

It was while I started to click on episode two did I laugh at myself.. did I really think the man had not been good looking? and boy was I proven wrong when i thought he would not know how to act.

i was so sure the guy would be embarrassing trying to act suave. the girl, well i didn't think of her. one does not think of soap heroines.

and of course, the guy was not good looking. 😆

rhea, lovely memories and ponder on episode 1. really it's such a shame that you guys can't just go the net and catch an episode.

With Daiyya ho tune breakdance seems to be the only one that can go with the song I can imagine...😆

shyamwa with shades breakdancing in slow and fast motion. to dhaiyya ho... 😆

rulama, hi... good to see you. i am 🤣 at this sudden vision before me.

Rhea, just popped in in here and read your write up Indi quoted, felt every second with you...it sure was something...the moment we fell for this love story... just like they fell for each other...a sheer intensity, raw talents i saw on on my screen... of two people I have no clue of them about...

i want that moment back... some thing that arrests all my senses.. and makes me its captive...

res...

Okay, let me also tell my ipk story, even at the risk of sounding like a broken record! 😆 Since we are doing the reblast...
Let's start at the very beginning...
May 2013, one woman who had taken up studies again after a long time, at the end of a busy semester, when she was left twiddling her thumbs, chanced across an Indian tv soap, can't remember what made me look it up, I remember I was browsing and read something and then looked it up in YT. Have a feeling it was the man's (we all know whom I'm talking about, he need not be named!😆)people magazine picture and somebody had written something about the show in the comments section. So thought I've nothing better to do in life at the moment so let's look it up and I also remembered that my mom watched it. And the rest as they say is history!!!
Started off with the love scenes and then watched the episodes and then watched it again and again and again...and so it continues to this day. The first couple of weeks I spent with very little sleep and eating when I couldn't stand the hunger! In the process came across IF started lurking around and reading the stuff posted here, came across blast thread and started lurking there most of the time!!
I can't remember what I felt when I watched it for the first time, just that I got hooked very fast. For me a key point was episode 100 (hospital hug) when I had the feeling that this is not your average Indian soap.
Most of the love scenes and episodes were available on YT and if not on daily motion then. It really is sad what's happening now. But what the hell, we shall watch again and again! Devi maiyya ki kasam!
