hello people,
Recently I read some negative posts about the serial, claiming that people only want to watch Shivika scenes. In response, i am writing this post.

Let's not forget that ishqbaaz is a story if Oberoi family and the three brothers. Even then, from the very beginning the emphasis has been on Shivika, given Nakul and Surbhi were main leads.
But I certainly don't watch ishqbaaz for just their scenes, their love story is interesting, just as Rikaras story is interesting for me. Personally I don't like Ruvya pairing but I don't mind their scenes as all actors should get a chance to showcase their talent. A story, a family is a sum of all parts , not just two people.

I certainly want to watch balanced serial , which I think the makers I trying to give to the audience. I am really liking the baby track as it us hilarious and brings the much needed relief from Rona-Shona.
I also disagree with people who think Rikara are being given importance, coz that is not the case. If one actually gets down to the maths, Nakul and Surbhi still have maximum screen space and dialogues, which is fine as long as Rikara story is also explored in equal measure and Kunal and Shrenu given a chance. I also like Rudra very much and hope Saumya track would come back at some point in the future.

In addition, I like to watch, khanna, dadi, Jahnvi, etc etc
Those who want to see only Shivika scenes can go back and watch old episodes again and again as there are plenty of those. I like the current track between Shivika actually. Want to see bit more of Saahilll as well.

The only tracks I didn't like were Anika memory loss, and Svetlana being the superwoman in DBO and now she is coming back, yucks! Also, don't like horrible Mahis mother.
Pinky is horrible but she always fails and always will, so not worried at that end.

In summary, currently Ishqbaaz is quite balanced giving fair opportunity to all, exploring various relationships and equations and still keeping the storyline interesting...

What say people ?

I am posting first time in this forum though I have been watching Ishqbaaz from start and did watch Dil bole oberoi as well. Its funny that a post about how well balanced the episodes are gets so less comment while the fan war topics can have 14 pages of comment... People are so ready to fight...

I am primarily a shivika fan but does that mean I hate Rikara or obros or rumya or ruvya?? I really enjoy Rikara scenes and even bhavya seems to grow on me with each episode. I would definitely want some more meaningful conversation between shivika but I will take the present comedy over nagini and Pinky 😡😡😡any day... I like the present division of screen space between all actors and looking forward to some good acting by the whole cast.


I love your post... Thank you for making it

Well I agree that it is a family story and it is good to see everyone. And I would say not only NM-SC but everyone is getting equal ss. In each episode you can not have balance but it is there. In one episode if it is gaurika then in next it is shivika or ruvya. I am a shivika fan and shivika fans main concern is their story is stuck. But I am sure it will be on track after few episodes so I am enjoying the baby track

Thanks for the post! So agree with you guys. The fan wars go for 20 pages of comments. Those of us who enjoy family comedy-dramas are clearly in the minority.
I started watching Ishqbaaz to see the Dil Bole Oberoi love between the brothers. Along the way I fell in love with video taping Khannaji, brilliantly nasty Tej, snarky Jhanvi, sweet Dadi, adorable Sahil & oh my mata Pinky:). I did not start watching the shows for the couples.
I have luvd Shivika and watched every single episode of DBO for Rikara (still adjusting to Ruvya). But i missed Anika bhoujai-and possibly Chutki Gauri together & Omru in Ishqbaaz & vice versa Shivika in DBO.

I think the fanatical Shivika & Rikara fans need to give the "family show" a chance. If we want just a main lead show, we should watch the Star Dopahar shows instead. The family drama and hiw every single character having their own story that intersects and interacts with the others is exactly what a family is like and what I feel the unique selling point of Ishqbaaz is and why it's so loved.

So enjoy the moments of Ishqbaaz and become part of the fandom family instead of Team so and so.

Please no chappals or tomatoes. Just my thoughts:)

Very well Said. Pretty much a balanced episodes but still More of Shivay and Anika.

Lots of people think this merger differently. Even when I was watching DBO I always thought that Ishqbaaz and DBO should have cross over episodes and mergers. Bcoz its was like 3 different stories and no link between the stories of the brothers. No common tracks. Was really Adhuri. Especially During Svetlana revelation and Marriage rituals sequence And Omkara Coma and Gauri fake pregnancy track so much missing links for a One Family Story or a Story of 3 Brothers.

I love this merger so it show the sync in the story of all 3 brothers. By the way people shouldn't forget that the Extended time slot is to show Rikara and Ruvya stories too not to show extended Shivay and Anika story. So In the extended time slot all the brothers are equal stake holders. Always too much of anything wouldn't be nice and people loose interest.

So Quality Matters. Shivay anika Track is again good. How long they show all is well between them yar. There needs to be drama and different tracks separation reunions again some problems. If all is well the Serial ends. They have to show you their drama. Give it a time and enjoy the show.

Completely agree!!! Actually if the makers had given all the couples equal importance from the starting itself, then these fan wars wouldn't have happened. Because then they would have liked the show as a whole instead of just one couple. But when the makers became biased, the fans too became one towards their favourites and don't want to give any other couple a chance. I'm an OBros fan, though I like Omkara the most...but I want to see the love story all three brothers because that is what IB was always supposed to be and finally it's happening.

Now this merger may or may not work. It may won't work because audience isn't habitual to watch a show for one hour. But it also has a solution, if CVs give us more qualitative episodes with good story, then it won't feel like drag. Just having an ensemble cast isn't. You should know how to utilize them.

But you can't blame a single couple for that because TRP audience doesn't watches a show for a couple, character or actor. You are being delusional to think so.

IB has the potential to top TRP charts...It always had..The story has enough juice in it...only if CVs give proper attention to the storyline. And also when fans give a chance to all the characters apart from their favourites instead of fast-forwarding their scenes. We need the appreciate the show as a whole, otherwise you are just watching some random clips which makes no sense.

Thankyou for this post dear
It was much needed

Yes Shivika is the lead and hence have more footage in the show but that no where means that others would be non existant. You can't expect them to show one hour of only Shivika especially when IB is a family drama n not a love story

I agree the episodes are pretty balanced
