It was just in January that I watched all the episodes of Season 1 on Hotstar sacrificing my sleep. Arnav Singh Raizada made me fall in love with Barun and when I completed the last episode I wished another season of this cult show with Barun as lead. I guess that day God heard my prayers and then on 13th March when I was randomly scrolling my Instagram feed my eyes caught the attention of Gul's post where she presented the teaser of Advay Singh Raizada. I was dancing and jumping in joy but prayed the show to begin after my exams were over in May. And the day my exams ended, there was no stoppage to my curiosity, I started joining the discussion forums, madly waiting like a crazy fangirl about any new updates of the show, the female lead, story etc just so that I don't miss out anything. And then it happened on July 3, my man was back on screen after 5 long years.
I already fell in love with Advay seeing the promos but gradually also started to like Chandini and ultimately my heart started beating for Advini. They are hot, sexy, passionate, fierce, affable, cute, adorable...and the list goes on and on. Slowly, I started to live with the characters and didn't realise when they formed an integral part of my life. My brain started weaving stories and my hands itched to pen them down. I engraved my imagination by writing fictions. And then suddenly, when I saw the episode where Advay recited shaayri I fell in love with him all over again. Not at all a shaayri lover, that was the episode when my heart did a somersault and I hopelessly started to pen down shaayris encompassing different situations in the episodes. Advini are my life..they made my belief stronger on childhood love. They will always be my inspiration for fictions. It is as if Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon? 3 had begun just yesterday. Though I am sad that it ended abruptly but I am equally happy with this sweet and small journey of 3 months where I practically fet and lived with Advini every single day. My love for Advini is endless so is for Barun and Shivani.
