Holaaa!!!

Lovely post Sari! Today's theme was really "can't live without you". Everyone is chanting how hurt Khushi is, but Arnav hurts 2x as much as her. For a guy who can't stand her tears, watching Khushi like this and having to live with the fear that the love of my life may be cheating on me with my sister's husband is a lot and he definitely hurts more than her or just as much. When it comes down to it, she is more expressive of her unconditional love with actions and vocally whereas he is only expressive through actions, he will get vocal once the RTR starts.

His "sadda haq" has started taking new shades, and this is before the truth is revealed. He'll reach a very new level once he knows. I just hope its soon. I am not liking these BS leaving rumors one bit!

ME have never really had the "chunk" in them, they've had the buildups and then very strong followups, so I don't really know what to expect tomorrow. It will end with "last calls" and realization that he is missing.

I'm sorry although I keep saying he won't leave the show, I think I've hit my low today. I want his movie to wrap up earlier than expected. I trust him to make sound judgement and stay loyal to IPKKND, but, there's always a "what if". Though, SBS and that TOI interview are framed... big time!!!!

Something to keep off the BS sadness, he was back in his three piece suit and I was sad when they didn't let him take out his waistcoat completely before getting all possesive with Khushi. Don't you get it Gul, like you I find M&B heros super sexy too, which is why I would like to see them look uber hot and not in the middle with one button out that made it look like he had a pouch!
But then it came out and he had that black shirt on (yesss the God for good looks heard my pleas), but they turned off the light and I couldn't oogle too much. But tomorrow is a new day and I'm pretty sure he'll be tied with his shirt and not his entire suit so yaa, when BS is shown after the hiatus, it'll be goood 😉
(just don't leave the screen Barun... you'll break my heart if you do, I'll even promise to not oogle you out creepily if you don't leave! 😳)

Sari - 🤗 for opening the hangout this landmark Friday!!!

So...Spice Gals? Does today teach us not to build up unrealistic expectations for so-called milestone episodes like #250?

I thought so.

Screw KSR's suffering - it PALES in comparison to what the audience has been through for the past 3 months. But when compared to the pile of poop we've had to watch so far, today's installment wasn't too bad, since the story MOVED.


1. The Hulk (Snake rechristened) threatens the boss' wife - in full view of the office staff. She hangs around the lobby all teary-eyed and waiting for hubby - while he pointedly ignores her and burrows in his glass cave.

With all the dramatics in that office for the past year - how does anyone ever get any WORK done? 😕 The boss's personal life is like a freaking soap opera !

Oh wait, it IS a freaking so...never mind.


2. Arnav (I'm-mentally-shooting-for-my-movie-already-suckers) Singh Raizada drives away without listening to his wife, who decides to accept the Hulk's compromise and get the file signed.

KSR - Okay fine, but I want to read it first - so there!
Hulk - Sure honey, you want ketchup to go with them fries? (You little idiot, you think that's gonna trip me up? I've had all of you running around like headless chickens for months!)

Face-palm. 😡 Head-desk. 😡 Hair-pull. 😡 Teeth-grind. 😡Oh Lord, if I promise never to get obsessed with a show again, can we pretty please get this MU over with before I start looking like a 90 year old hag due to all this abuse?


3. More Bubble brain nonsense. Even Mami and her nimboos look good by comparison (Mami used to have those fantastic one-liners and amazing sense of comic timing that mitigated things somewhat).

Doesn't this kid need to head back to school, both the reel and real avatars? Just let Payash have their knock-down, drag-out WWF mudfight already and ship this pocket-sized vamp back to where she came from! 😕

Also - did Payal really, Really, REALLY offer to pick up a band-aid off the floor and put it back on a bruise??? 🤢 🤢 🤢


4. ASR enters the sterile confines of his room after accepting a mysterious envelope from Anj, only to find status quo restored. (And by status quo - I mean the eight and a half shirts that have been gathering dust in his closet)

Buddy - of all things, it took the missing Salman Khan poster to actually elicit a reaction? 😲Stars = parents, ring a bell? 😕 Some home-truths, more push-shove-grab-spin-glare, and the pre-GH sleeping arrangements are back in play.

I gotta say - if someone had to actually sleep on that hideous recliner all night long, they'd be stiff as burnt toast by morning. We're supposed to believe that Arnie's been doing it for weeks?


5. Isn't this the same outfit that SI wore while she was in the UK? She looked gorgeous in those pix!! Amazing how the Gangotri ruins her looks - no matter what she wears.

Since dear Anj apparently has the gestation period of a giraffe or a camel (12 - 18 month pregnancy, going by the yet-to-appear bump) and plenty of free time to meddle, maybe she could take her bhabhi for a makeover?

BS is back on his HUP-TWO-THREE-FOUR suit rotation. Nuff said.

For everyone expecting a Hallmark Moment today due to the milestone 2-5-0...When will we ever learn? (Just replace flowers with Rabba Ve's)

Great post Sari!

I think we all agree that the episode was not 250th worthy. Nevertheless, they didn't resort to contrived situations and got the story to move ahead yet again. So, they did good by me.

- I think I now see why the CVs felt the need to add the comedy track at the beginning of the marriage track. Sanaya is brilliant, absolutely brilliant as a heartbroken Khushi; she's been churning out amazing performances all week. While I have longed to see Khushi's broken heart, the show has taken on an entirely sombre mood. Khushi is the very heart of IPKKND, isn't she? Had they shown this Khushi back in February, Arnav would have hit the redemption track in a week, tops 😛

- The waiting at the office was shown very well, she doesn't want to anger him any more, she who barged in with the tiffin carrier is resigned to waiting quietly. Arnav keeps checking as if asking himself -"she can't possibly still be here, can she"?
A miss at the meeting -ASR turned into Barun for a few seconds while delivering his presentation lines -it felt jarring.

-Another possible rahasya dropped to us by the CVs in the form of the cryptic exchange between Anjali and Arnav and the mysterious envelope. "Insert head scratch icon here"
Methinks they're trying to lay the openings of the post-redemption storyline. Hallelujah, they actually have an idea for later? Then why has this god-awful MU been dragged for so long? 😡

-Khushi again trying to remove as many annoyances from Arnav's life was so typical of her. She wasn't trying to make a point at all, this wasn't her way of showing him her hurt feelings. She genuinely believes she can make things easier for her husband if she keeps her stuff out of his sight. 😭

-I don't have any expectations from tomorrow's ME. The promo is all that's going to happen in the 40 minutes. Of course, I will be very very happy to be proven wrong.

-For the last time, CUT IT OUT Bubbly!

So its the 250th episode of IPKKND, could it have been better? Yes but it could have been worse. I thought it was a fairly decent episode, at least consistency remains and we got a week filled without mindless OTT comedy.

Sari, totally agree about how one minute its pitch dark and then into the lightness we go. Poorly done but I did like Khushi trusting her gut and walking away from Shyam. Khushi then silently waited for Arnav to finish his meeting, gone are the days she would barge into his office, his meetings now the poor girl quietly awaits his call. I loved the scene where you could see the inner turmoil both Arnav and Khushi are going through, I felt for both.
Khushi tried desperately to talk to Arnav but once again he did not listen to her so she became desperate. Khushi just can't endure her husband's hatred, him not trusting her so she desperately seeks help from the devil himself.
Loved the bedroom scene, Arnav immediately noticed the windchimes were gone, then the stars, the poster and lastly Khushi's clothes. I do believe for a moment he thought she left and in a way she has. Khushi is removing her existence from his life believing that he hates her, she doesn't want to cause him anymore pain but little does she realize just how much she means to him. Both souls tortured, longing for each other's love.

Today was a meh for me...I have a lot to say...but i really need to take my time with this...I struggled with it today...this was a total insult to the week they created...yes story moved or something but today even with no expectations it stooped to another level of disappointment for me...episode 250 or not...it was just a slap in the face to who ever created the first 4 episodes of this week.

The actors were great as usual but honestly even they couldnt save it for me today.😭

The first time i watched it in haste on my iphone and figured i was pissed because i didnt get the essence of the episode but after re-watching it it got a tad better but not by leaps and bounds really...

Couple of things...I love the new Rabba Ve...BUT I dont want it wholesaled in every episode...it loses its feel when i hear it every 10 minutes...STOP the weirded out Rabba Ve's!!!!

Is the PH that low on funding that they are stuck with this Bubbly and Payal and this Bhoothnath and random other crap? Like Where the f**k did that Bhooth shit come back from???

I liked some of the scenes but it all was over taken by the Shyam sickening scenes...i will be very honest...I cannot watch this Shyam crazyness...i dont have it in me to sit thru this crap! 😡

Hello SGs ...

So is the "Growing Up" phase of Ms Khusi Kumari Gupta . Her journey to become a women and realize that there is a real world out there , the "bedrad dunya " whcih Arnie talks of where people manipulate each other to get their end . Finally for this girl to to say to herself "Yes I love this man " ???
I sincerly hope so.
The episode was sad . its hard to see a girl so full of life broken , hurting herself yet wanting to ease the pain of her loved ones. It was hard to see a man who cannot let go this women he loves yet is resistant to let go of that one memory that haunts him. Unable to face her and be with her lest she gets a chance to break his resolve.
Both actors did very well in the office scene as well as the bedroom scene. The new RV song has kind of grown on me and fit perfectly well in the background.
We asked for no comedy and we are getting drama now. That is good right ? Did we somewhere miss to tell the cvs that we need "love" in this love story . that happy and mushy feeling which has hardly shown its face in the 250 episodes we celebrate today ,
What are they waiting for , the next 250 episodes or the departure of the lead ? Where is the love ???

Hi Sari, thanks for making the hangout! Completely agree with you!

I liked the episode, though it did not meet upto expectations of being a landmark one. But I guess they are at a stage in the story where they need to go with the flow and not make anything look forced. It was heart-breaking for Arnav and Khushi today😭😭 How much pain can someone tolerate, when will the day come when they will be truly happy TOGETHER?

I loved the ARHI scenes today even though they were so heart-breaking, Khushi is just so desperate to show the man she loves that what he thinks of her is not right because she she sees that this is killing him too. She can't bear the fact that he has such a poor opinion of her and is willing to try anything to make things right. Arnav seems just as confused and devastated; poor souls, my heart went out to both today and I just wanted to give them both a hug and say "it's gonna be allright, hang in there". The scene where he sees her things gone and gets upset, when she tells him she wants to relieve him of his pain of having to tolerate her and her things, the rabba ve 😔😔. I guess this was a small preview of the heart-break and devastation he will go through when she really leaves him. One day he threw her out of his room and said some nasty words, today he stopped her and insisted she sleeps on the bed and no further discussion on that. It is a step in the right direction and subconsciously I guess he already knows how much he has wronged her.

Shyam-Khushi scenes are much needed to show her exactly how evil he is and also to move the story ahead. Shyam has sensed her desperation and is trying to take full advantage of it but what he does not realize is that DM is by Khushi's side and she will not let the devil come out victorious. Plus all this back and forth about the will and signature is just to create suspense, drama and twists. I'm sure Shyam will not get the signed papers and will in no way get all the property. Plus more suspense about the Arnav-Anjali conversation and envelope..Ufff is suspense track ko kya naam doon?

I was quite amused by the uproar on the forum about the SBS segment and everyone's fear that Barun will leave the show. Some people have resorted to pretty nasty posts and Barun and the PH. I think SBS is all about creating sensationalism and Barun's answers seemed to not sync to the voice over. He clearly said that he does not know how things will work out and does not make plans about the future. Plus there was some news on Sanaya joining Nach Baliye which added to the chaos. There is no way Barun is quitting the show after the popularity and adulation he has received due to ASR's character. Apparently the latest article confirms that he is not quitting but will be gone for a month. Looks like everyone is trying to put out their version of the story; Link to TOI article as below: https://www.indiaforums.com/forum/iss-pyaar-ko-kya-naam-doon/2974190/read-at-ur-own-risk-toi-latest-on-barun

Let's see what the ME brings. I'm not a major Shyam fan and hate Bubli so my expectations are low for the ME and the coming week, but I hope the CV's surprise me!

Hey Sari and Spicegals! Here is my "assignment" for the day just finished typing it! Lol but b4 that lemme share a funny story i was at college this morning watching the epi alongside doing "work" and my friend comes and texts me asking where i am but i see it much later since im busy in my epi watching lol..when i go to meet up with her she is on her blackberry on YT watching yest epi and that too without subs even though she doesnt know hindi lol i have totally got her addicted! Ok random storytime over here is my take:



Pretty ok epi for me!! Too much of snakewa but i was able to get through it!

Not really gonna talk much about Snake and khushi scenes ill just wait and see what the whole thing with signing the papers is all about after the maha epi...

I liked the sad rabbe ve tune playing as Khushi waited for Arnav! The way Arnav was shown doing the whole ASR walk as the tune played loved that..reminded of old days! Also liked the ppt presentation part lol..And the way he looked at her through his office window..that look makes me melt hai..i liked the direction here the way the passage of time was shown with Khushi sitting still as everything moved in the office..but Arnav refuses to listen..so sad..i really feel for the actors as we saw in sbs that scene with the car and seatbelt took so many takes and was only shown for a few seconds..

Ok freakin Bubbly is the limit now..the way she spoke back..not spoke Yelled at Payal..it was total vampish..if kids are watching this show and lets say some do sitting around with their moms then this is the total wrong idea that bubbly is giving them lol!

And my fav scene was when Arnav goes to the room and misses all of Khushi's things! Hai bechara Arnav missing Salman khanji lol maa da ladla bigar gaya ;) loved the dialigues in this scene..and the sad rabba ve seems to be working well..also satyanash here is..i guess they dont feel the need to change into their night clothes coming back from GH :\ weird!!

Also i really wanna know everyones take on what Anjali was talking bout that Arnav does every yr..was initially thinking about the london thing but that doesnt make much sense i think its something to do with the parents..the way Arnav looked upwards towards the end of that scene indicated that for me.

Btw what time is the ME? Someone tell me EST because i wanna wake up in time an catch it so i can spend the rest of the day editing my thesis lol!

Gonna catch up with others takes b4 i fall asleep again hopefully rofl!!

Hi Girls...just a quick post...just got home and watched the episode...actually strike that ... Ended up forwarding most of it...all of Shyamu,s stuff...and bubbly,s too...I have no interest in watching either one of those...

That left only a little to watch...but liked the BR scene with KHushi removing her stuff and ARnie stopping her from sleeping outside...

With the news of BS leaving the show for at least 40 days and perhaps forever...makes me wanna not invest any more time in it...what a waste...it is like reading a book that the writer decided not to finish...I understand it happens in Indian soaps..but feel cheated...don't they have any contracts, any written rules of engagement? In any case with him being kidnapped and all, I dont think the show will have my interest...had it been a plot that go wrapped up in a few days...I would have been interesting...but it will stretch and be painful...

Any way, the looks in his new movie are more like the one he had in the previous serial I think...long hair, loose casual clothing...I much prefer ASR/ Arnav look...


Jab ASR or Arhi hi nahi hei to IPKKND mein kya rakhkha hei dekhne Ke liye? Chalo...it was good while it lasted...I guess it will be hard to give up the habit of watching it ...but the 250th episode ...came with bad news...may be the contract was for 250 episodes...! sorry...to be pessimistic about this...but it is not looking good...
