@JalebiJane...Thanks for making this lovely thread.

IPK was an experience of a lifetime! Words are never enough to describe my feelings for it, even after all these years, I can't seem to decipher how a TV show could make me insanely happy. I had joined IF for IPK and man it was SO worth it! This forum was filled with such amazing, witty, funny posts dissecting every scene, BTS videos, pics, promos, spoilers, etc. Not to mention the extremely talented writers who came up with their own versions of the storyline..sigh! I miss those days TERRIBLY.

Initial episodes were such a delight. Arnav's and Khushi's entry, the sibling bonding, and of course, first Rabba Ve shot❤️.Sarun's acting was perfection and their level of chemistry remains unmatched. About Shyam, I was very intrigued by his character n wished they showed his back story. It would have been interesting to know wat made him negative cause surely no one is born evil.Looking forward to reading the discussions here.😊

Maya yet another riveting review from you. What fabulous attention to detail and an equally interesting take on Epi 6. THIS one is one of my favorite episodes from the show, I dont know why but I think because of the much awaited collision and the second meet of our very own fiesty Khushi and the angry ASR. I loved it and I still do. ❤️ But before I talk about Arhi, I need to talk about 'khushi'. You have pointed out how she was child-like and yet mature in her own way and Maya, i could not have agreed more to this. As much as I love Arhi, Arnav and Khushi, I would say that Khushi somewhere touched my heart in more ways than one. I dont know if it was because I was going through a brutal phase or had it to something with my thought process, but I can tell you that watching Sanaya play khushi everyday was the 'only' bright spot in my life then and Khushi was the reason I could connect so much with- a fighter, her never say die attitude and a go getter, I fell in love with her instantly. So thank you for that bit on her pointing out Garima's habit, I missed it out the first time but saw it now. 😳

Coming to the rest of the epi, Buaji 'runs out of her asthma medicine and we see our girl asking Payal to take care off her while she fetches it from outside. Inane qualities again Maya that we got talking about yesterday. Payal has been 'homely' and Khushi the 'man', sorts. I can so relate to it because I have a younger sister too and while she is more active in her comfort zone, as she is the younger one, I am always the one whose been the fighter, stepping out and I love challenges too. Can relate so much to Khushi and Payal here. The writers of the show were brilliant and there are no two ways about it.

Ah and now coming to my fave scene, the collision. What fabulous expressions from Barun and Sanaya, they nailed the scene to the T. The comic timing, the shock the expressions and the subtle chemistry were palpable and mind blowing. He looks on in disbelief as she removes his aviators and oh boy!! does he look hot or what 😛 I loved his styling in the early days and Khushi's spunk blew him away. She goes all "aap ne jo kiya' while the man in question is more amused than ashamed. He lifts his eyebrows asking her what he had done, he is shameless and she knows it now. 😆 But our girl wont back down without a fight and she did just that gave him a piece of her mind to feast on while promising to returning back his money 👏 And Khushi Kumari Gupta stole the show and how while Arnav Singh Raizada was challenged and he sure didnt like it but the lion he is, he wont let her wa;k away without paying a price , a heavy one at that, for disrupting his mental piece. Iss Pyaar Ko kya Naam Doon? starts off in all the sense of the world 👏

PS Oh! you are back with your stories at a time when I am the busiest in the year. After managing the family, kid, work and writing I am barely left with time to come here, but I will bookmark your stories and read them as soon as life is less brutal. Your writing here has me hooked and I cant wait to catch up on your stories. 🤗

N,

This was a superb addendum to Maya's piece. Words fail me. Very well scripted. Yes, Garima drawing circles on the table as Khushi tells her mother to stop doing that, the young lady who jumps into every fight for her family no matter how big or small - a trait she definitely shares with her bete noir Mr Raizada by the way - the defining qualities of Khushi Kumari Gupta were beautifully brought to the fore with or without all those elements of drama! And yes, Khushi did say her two bits here although ASR would not have gone down without. Fight...so he decided to spin off the dialogue about how it was very easy to talk about self respect. Amazing acting by those two!

Ditto, I rush from work to IPK and then wing it to the other compartments of my life...sigh! An obsession that refuses to let go five years down!

Hugs!

Thank you for this brilliant analysis...it is very enduring to see the different perspective of different people about this show..and I am really looking forward for this, because I am coming under the category of people who never watched the show when it was on air

IPKKND Nostalgia: Episode 007

Meet the Raizadas

1. The collision scene certainly belongs to Mr Raizada. Our poor Heroine! She reaches for her wallet declaring she will pay for the full damage to his vehicle, only to realize that the cost is beyond her means. Far beyond her means. Mr Sobti's raised brow and "Kya hua?" drips of smug triumph. He wins this round and leaves her in the middle of the road clutching a broken side-mirror and a confident, "we'll see." Fabulous scene.

2. But do they really part on the road? She remains on his mind throughout that episode. Anjali senses he is disturbed and enquires. There is a long moment before he replies, "Kuch khaas nahi." Hmm. And Khushi is also disturbed. She can't get Arnav out of her mind. She can't stop talking about him. She even blurts out "Governor" in Shyam's presence. So the question is, has Shyam seen the film footage? Does he know at his point that his own brother-in-law is responsible for Khushi having left Lucknow?

3. What are the odds that Khushi will run into both Arnav and Shyam on the same day in a city the size of Delhi? Ah! But this is a tv serial, you say. Suspend your disbelief, Jalebi Jane. It's clear that Shyam is more and more taken with her with each meeting. And who would not be? Khushi is delightful in that scene. Authentic. Child-like. She is so unaware of how very beautiful she is.

4. Buaji certainly does not affirm any part of Khushi's beauty. She makes such an obvious distinction between Khushi and Payal. Speaking with dripping affection to Payal; almost barking at our Heroine. And I love how gracefully Khushi deals with it. Such scenes make me realize how far I have to go in terms of maturity. If someone treated me like Buaji does Khushi, I would warmly protest. And if protestation was not possible, I would make sure that Buaji felt my full resentment. But observing Khushi over the years has taught me that her manner of dealing with such inequalities is the more refined response. And ultimately the more successful.

5. I'll conclude with a wink to the writers. I love how they are building up the Lakshmi thing. The manner is which Nani is asking after her, we are all convinced that Lakshmi is an especially important member of the family.

PS If ever I had the privilege of meeting someone from the IPKKND writing team, I would ask how they came up with Mamiji's "Hello-Hi-Bye-Bye." It's such a quirky catchphrase.
