In the beginning everything was perfect and yes the whole team should get equal credit, but later the disinterest of makers was totally visible and the show only survived because of the mind blowing chemistry shared by SARUN.

Hence i would say that the strength of the show was only and only SARUN because even when most of the factors were missing, it was SARUN's magical chemistry that kept the show alive and also managed to be among the top 10 shows of the TRP chart, most of the time.

For the first 8 months , I will definately agree with you..Story was well executed-there were less bloopers .Well defined plots and all actors had good part in show.. After a certain point of time- It lost touch..story got haywire.. side characters got reduced to prop in the show with only saving factor being Sarun . So yes credit must be given to Gul and all creatives for conceptualising and creating whole structure...but I think a MAJOR credit of keeping audiences glued to the show inspite of declining interests of makers in it goes to two good looking and talented actors which by that time had already made a loyal fanbase ..I wont compare IPK with another show.. Still I feel there were many things that cud have been executed in better way - like outside location shoots...better dresses.. especially for khushi.. and better defined roles for side characters...


umm i used to put this in a different way last year around August😳

Till Feb 2012 IPK gave us quality ArHi scenes. And quality story line, thus enabled them to deliver a mixed episode without too much burden on the 2 leads.
BUT after 8 months ended the quality of scenes decreased and to compensate they increased the quantity of ArHi scenes thus the 18+mins of screen time AT LEAST 1 lead would be present with 12+ mins both leads would share time together.

But i would actually give 100% credit even then to Gul cz she actually did manage to FIND those 2 AMAZING actors! For that i will give hre credit always, cz she brought those magical 2 human beings together in this dream come true platform..

but once things fell in place if we take the full journey, it was 50-50 for gul + crew & SaRun.

We were lucky to be there at a time when this magical phenomena happened. And well as they say magic happens once in many lifetimes.. And ours already did..
Nothing can nor will ever measure up..UNLESS some years down the line EVERY single major variable that made the initial 8 months of IPK comes together once again.. then we will see another miracle in front of our eyes..

Until and unless that happens, expecting anything close to that is as hopeless as waiting for Sun to rise from the West..

for me the first few months, the intensity between the couple based on story/screenplay which baruna nd sanaya portrayed very well, when the story started getting bored, i also felt even the chemistry of sarun was lacking, many of my friends who watched this serial across the globe shared my thoughts that, most of the audience continued watching the story, with an expectation may be it will improve, may be we will get more arshi scenes, because the later part esp after the first marriage, for two three months, it was ok, and after that shital track, where asr's facial expressions were like he was trying to flirt with shital ignoring his wife completely, was misleading the audience to a great extent.

So in my view, the chemistry was there but it was not as promising as in the early ipkknd days, and most of the people whom I know watched with an expectation may be the serial will get better, as some pointed out about the previous posts, there are innumerable posts, where it has been bashed hard that there is hardly any chemistry between arshi now.

So it is just point of view and I dont intend to hurt anyone. Like for some people Sanaya looks always stunning, I have found her sometimes beyond the word beauty EXTREMELY STUNNING, sometimes not so appealing. This I felt and am not forcing anyone to agree with me. Just like me you are also free to think and have an opinion.

For hair extensions, I have seen many posts talking about getting rid of that, at the same time there are posts where most of the people thought her hair is real, we can see very clearly the outline of the extn, but still some felt like that, in the diwali episode FOR ME, I felt that the long hair ADDED TO HER ALREADY EXISITNG BEAUTY. If she wanted to get rid of that, she wouldnt be wearing in most of the award ceremonies including the Shaker Suman's interview where she came with her extn curled up.

IPK is an example of Masterpiece everything complimented at its best to one another just like Sholay, KKHH, QSQT, there are some eternal shows/movies which can never be repeated. You may like to watch them again and again. They happen only once, even the same cast come as a repeat, hey will surely get their audience with their past record, but it is difficult to recreate a masterpiece which has been engraved in the heart of the audience. and Masterpiece can be only once, that is why it is termed.

Script is the most important thing fir a show, secondly is the actors who can portray the characters perfectly. That's what I have been saying always. The first promos made me watch the show, not bcus of Sarun as I didnt know them before ipkknd.
But then later no matter how boring track they showed I watched it for Sarun/arhi only.
