There have been a lot of posts about the good parts of Ishqbaaz but I was curious as to what made you stop watching?

For me, I started to get put off when the writers started giving Annika insecurities about her looks while Shivaay was portrayed as a catch despite the fact that Surbhi looked better on the show as Annika over all.

I guess this is where the differences between Indian and Overseas beauty standards come to play (I am from a place where female Indian beauty means clear dusky skin, full lips, and curves; not fair skin / thin / short), but as this show generated a lot of income for Star Plus overseas it would have been nice for the writers to at least consider us!

I finally switched off during the ep where she had insecurities about Shivaay leaving her when she got older. It was hard to swallow considering Surbhi looked like a supermodel even with white hair, while Nakuul looked at least 10 years older than her.

You took it quite personally it's a drama watch it with a grain of salt and insecurities happens in every relationship we aren't blind to how many men marry younger brides in their late 40s. As for Nakuul looking older than that's because he is older than Surbhi by 7 years I think. For me it's not about Shivaay/NM is hotter or Annika/SC is gorgeous it's about how they look together & how well they've given justice to Shivika sirf ek ki mehnat nahi hai both have given equal afford and we should respect it.

I stay away from Fan wars and NM vs SC when they don't have problem with each other why are fans fighting & always pointing fingers at one another?

As for why I stopped watching Ishqbaaaz that was due to personal issues nothing to do with how the story was I actually enjoyed the episode you mentioned it was more realistic insecurity is that bug that can bite anyone no matter how gorgeous/handsome, rich, popular you may be it happens.

That's when my mum stopped watching in favour of Bepannah. She loved Ishqbaaz like a crazy person up to that point!!

I started watching the show for obros and gradually fell in love with Shivika too, but I stopped watching the show when in the redux OmRu turned against their brother
I personally feel that the bond between the Obros are way stronger and can never make them hate the other or cause them any kind of harm both mentally, emotionally and physically.

Same. Apart from the fact I never watched DIB.


I think I was kinda in shock after the forced marriage of 2016. Before that I was fine with Shivika, but after that nope!

I shifted to DBO once it started, though that was a headache too, 'cos of Sci-fi 😆 but i loved Gauri so I kept at it.

I think I finally stopped watching around Nov 2017, yeah 'cos they changed Gauri's character once the whole Vanvaas thing started. Yeah thats when I stopped like finally. 😆
