Fans of Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon have been known for applying the "One-Month Theory" to a lot of aspects of the popular Star Plus serial. Discovered by UltimateBarun aka Zoha during the February marriage track, she confirmed exactly one month later in mid-March that indeed there were many important plot and story points which were carried out for an exact month before moving in a different direction. 
The CVs and Production House, always happy to listen to their fans, decided there was no better way to prove the One Month Theory than to have their hot and happening male lead be clad in a baniyaan for exactly a month. Eager fans lapped up the rare sightings of Barun Sobti day after day in the same old baniyaan.
India Forums member MagicalPoolside commented that since "Barun was on leave for 11/28/40/45 days, fans would do anything for a sighting of him. Hey, if they decided to show him for a month in nothing but leaves, we'd gladly appreciate the CVs gesture. The bottomline was that Barun must be seen for keeping TRPs afloat. The PH's decision to outifit the hottie in a baniyaan ensured that girls drooled over his bulging muscles. And it's been scientifically proven that the more amount of drool puddles on the floor have a direct correlation to the TRPs."
And so now the journey of Arnav's infamous vest is coming to a happy close. As we tearfully wave goodbye to the month-long baniyaan of Mr. Arnav Singh Raizada. Let's recall that happy day when the baniyaan journey started on June 4th in the hut scene:
After seeing ASR in nothing but a banny for an entire month, we are now happy to bid it goodbye. Hopefully, exactly a month since the baniyaan-track started, July 4 will mark the end of this blessed article of clothing.
[Please insert last scene of Baniyaan here] But for now, this will do. Please pause to observe and appreciate how utterly dirty it is. A moment of silence please:
When we contacted Barun Sobti for his take on the baniyaan, here's what he had to say: "Yeah, the baniyaan was great - our shooting location was really hot and humid, so I'm just glad I didn't have to wear a shirt. Obviously, there was a big change in the way our shooting took place during the baniyaan-track. Earlier I had to make sure my hair was gelled and my makeup was touched up. But now I just had to put dirt on my face and clothes, and everywhere else. Everyone knows boys love staying dirty, and we would never take baths if our mothers, wives or girlfriends didn't make us, so I'm happy. Though, it became extreme when the smell got too strong wearing the same thing for a month. And my costars run away from me now and keep a distance. Honestly speaking, I'm kind of tired of the baniyaan now - just look at it. It's ripping at the seams. I'll be happy to make the transition to regular clothes and makeup again."
IF member MagicalPoolside was beside herself with happiness: "We are all freaking happy because we'll finally see Arnav in CLOTHES!!!!! REAL CLOTHES!! Things like shirts! Maybe the white shirt... sigh... Have you seen how it makes Barun/Arnav's face shine?"
And so RIP Arnav's Gandi Baniyaan. Hoping to see you in shirts, vests, suits and casuals soon! May we never see you in this awful banny for as long as we live.
