Why not IPKKND? - Page 2

I was thinking the same, Priya. Why not IPK? Seeing almost all the shows coming back with the same cast, it hurts to see that our show hasn't yet considered for such sequels.

I am also not hoping for a continuation of season 1 but a different story and set up with the same cast. I am not at all hoping for a daily soap too. A web series is also okay. Or a 2-3 episodic weekend show. At least a music video!

Sometimes I feel like only we love this show unconditionally. CVs and casts are aware of it but they don't have such attachment with the show like us. And it really hurts, isn't it?

But I still wish someday they come back...

Ahem! I didn't want to stir up a controversy here... so I was refraining from saying this before. But some fans and their over-attachment to IPK (not referring to anyone specific here) is solely responsible for Sarun not wanting to work together again.

Although all of us are fans here, we understand the difference between reel and real. Some other fans couldn't and Sarun + their real life partners have had to face a lot due to that.

So, even if I'm very unhappy with their decision of not working together again, I understand the reasoning behind it 😒. It's like all fans are paying for the mistakes of some .

As few of you mentioned already, there are quiet a few reasons why they are not working together and why there will be no IPKNND season 2.

There were already 3 seasons with the same name. After that, a sequel doesn't make sense.

Barun mentioned after leaving IPKKND that he does not want to work in a long running show. He prefers to work in limited or a set episodic shows.

The tag line for IPKKND season one is Nafrat paas aane na de, mohabbat door jaane na de. Whenever Mohabbat brings them together, Nafrat has to intervene.

We can't see them staying apart. Bechaare, kare toh kya kare?

And there are some personal reasons.

So, they are happy doing web serieses. Let us hope they come together for a web series.

Cheers.......

Same question has been bothering me ever since I saw pratigya 2 promo, that why not IPKKND season 2. They already know, the producers, actors, the channel that fans still love the show madly, have been posting comments for a season 2 on social networking sites, have been longing for 10 yrs to see barun sanaya again, spamming gul since ages but I guess everything's falling on deaf ears. According to me it was gul who ruined the entire thing of bringing back ipk in the first place. She could have brought them back in 2017 when star gave them the platform again. Now it's like making a mockery out, coming with a season 4 especially after have a disastrous season in 2017.

Some of our friends given the answer that's why not IPKKND in this post. Read that and tell what you thought about that.

I think the actors are not interested any more..Also I believe both Sanaya and Barun do not want to be paired romantically with each other.. Because of all the murkiness that was done by the Sarun shippers.. Also Barun is doing quite well professionally...getting good number of web shows so he looks satisfied there..I dont think we would ever see them romantically paired with each other again...

Now I also think same

So true.. It does not matter to them to an extent it matters to the fans of the show.. For them it was a show that gave them recognition ..money ..fame..and they respect that part..that's to it..

Hey all,

I just wanted to share my two cents over here. To respectfully differ from the other opinions, I think for both - Sanaya and Barun - IPK is special. And not just them, even for the the writers and other people.

It is the show that's really a massive landmark in their careers, and in separate interviews both have often described their love for the show. Yes, there were also flip sides to that show being so popular.

Barun was painfully typecast as the urban upper middle class and they'd only give him roles based on what he was popular for and not what he could. It took him nine years to do a film like Halahal - and I was so glad because finally someone saw his mettle as an actor and outside the box of Arnav Singh Raizada! Even in Tu Hai Mera Sunday, WHICH WAS BRILLIANT, a lot of people didn't connect the Arnav they loved to the fabulous Arjun so quite a few unfortunately didn't watch the film (and there were issues ofc of people not watching films if it didn't have "mainstream" actors but not here for a debate so let's not go into it 😊).

Imagine working on something that made you really big and not getting good work because you worked on something like that and became that big. Boon became bane kinda thing? Damn... that's a bummer.

For Sanaya her roles have always been different from one show to the next. Gunjan was miles away from Khushi, and then to Chanchan and I'm glad Rangrasiya came her way because she again could show her range with Paro. And with the newer short films and web series, she is exploring different character, each time.

I know for us it might feel like they're not that invested/grateful/love the show for whatever reasons or because they don't mention it as much as we do, but I don't think that's the case.

I agree with Stuti that there were some external factors that probably made everyone reluctant to come back and make a show together.

I often wonder that if those (and no names being taken here as well) respected Barun Sanaya's personal lives and also admired their chemistry (like all of us) then we would've seen them together on screen more frequently.

Even now, whenever Sanaya posts a pic with her friends there are people writing to her to post a pic with Barun and vice versa.

I love the way the fans of Naagin 5 treated Sharad and Surbhi (to my knowledge). They loved the onscreen couple, respectfully showered love on the offscreen friendship and you see they're in a music video together!

Now I'm not saying that this is the only thing responsible for them not coming back on screen, but let's say it might've played a part. Who knows, they were probably never bothered by it 😆

Second of all, I think both Barun and Sanaya now are extremely careful about the projects they choose. So if IPK, canon or new, came in front as a carefully written web series on or even a well written telefilm then they'd do it at the drop of a hat. It's no secret that they both prefer limited episodes with a brilliant script.

And they've both performed brilliantly on such material as well!

So they won't work on a full fledged show because very FEW Indian shows have kept their word of "ok, six month contract, we'll keep it to six months" I think Sony at times sticks to its timeline? (Reporters and Mere Dad Ki Dulhan) I can't remember Star stopping a successful show because its written timeline came to an end (not demonizing any channel, just an observation).

I remember Yeh Jaadu Hai Jinn Ka being extended even though it was made as a finite series. While things like that can be a success for the fans, it can be quite difficult for actors and their career development (not referring to the actors in YJHJK, that's just an example).

So at the end of the day let's not think anything negative and hope that if Sanaya, Barun and the whole team decide to come back together then it's on something good that we can all love and enjoy!

See you all later 😎,

S

Sanaya, Barun or anyone from the group for that matter... hasn't posted any images of only Sarun in the last few years. I don't even remember how many years exactly but definitely a long long time.

They make sure that any picture that has them both also has someone else too. All rest are group pics or their pics with others.

This surely can't be a coincidence. And I don't think that it's possible either that Sarun never got any photos clicked just by themselves. They must have... but they refrain from posting them. I think that's proof enough of much the Sarun shipping fandom bothered them. And considering the number of crazy theories that have been conspired about them... it's not at all shocking if they are affected by it.

I'm just glad it didn't affect their friendship though 😳.

@Red Spot on!

I feel as if Barun felt typecast and doesn’t want to do IPKKND again. It was a blunder to do the last one with him and not Sanaya. Production house left such a bad taste in our mouths by casting Barun and not Sanaya, I personally don’t ever want to see another season of IPKKND. Barun, Sanaya jodi yes; the show and characters no. That ship has sailed and sunk. I do feel sad that Barun and Sanaya have not worked together again, and don’t get that their chemistry was the tv version of SRK and Kajol for some of us. Anyway, happy the other couples mentioned in the post understood their onscreen chemistry and reunited for second and third seasons. They are giving fans what they want at a time when so many of us are watching more and more tv due to being home so much.

Just think about it. If they had a good script and good story, imagine how popular a show would be with them 10 years later, more mature seasoned actors. It would be great. We know they both have the acting chops and Barun could be cast as any character he could pull off, nothing like ASR. It will probably never happen, but we can dream.
