So its a request to the PH,the makers of IPK to recreate the old magic...Because if TRPs continue to drop then the channel will be left with no option other than axing the show...
TRPs will not increase overnight it will take time and don't forget this is based on only 8,000 households. SP has approved the tracks as they also want the TRPs to increase.
I also want to add SP are well aware of the popularity of the show on an International basis and among all non-TRP viewers so the show will not be ending any time soon.

Hello interesting points but then the viewer is queen and err can you please tell me in the current avatar of IPKKND where is the strong independent bahu? There is no difference today from this serial than the others I might even go on to say some of the so called traditional serials actually have become very progressive in their portrayal of women characters and that is why this serial is sadly failing at the trp office

I was referring to shows in general when I made the statement about the independent bahus. We know that saas bahu shows are what Indian housewives prefer to watch.
The PH is trying to balance the show with romance, spice and drama because it is catering for different segments and ages. At the same time it is trying to increase TRPs. It will take time to increase.

i think what indian viewers or for that matter any soap viewer wants to see good emotional drama heart tugging moments women who although suffering find ways to come out of it they wish to see women in positive light and yes saas bahu maybe is what they identify with because it is also their own lives here Soaps generally are family oriented revolving around the family IPKKND stood out because it had no conniving mother in law no scheming sister in law no cuckolding husband no manipulative partners We had two highly charismatic leads with their own story to tell
Today there is no emotional connect and let us accept one thing this PH has not closed one MU to date they have not tackled the video tape nor has her name been cleared by her husband we saw kkg being called characterless first by her husband then by her brother in law and family and then the matriarch so many women find that repulsive and will not like to watch something that is demeaning to a woman
they lost the grip over the narration

yar i want the old cvs who used gave us beginning of ipk! who used to surprise us with their awesome ideas nd scenes! but nothing is same now , never on the earth i want this show to get closed but i want them to get a warning so that they open their close eys nd brain!



That's the biggest mystery to me - where are the CVs who gave us the first eight months of this show??!! Now everything is so predictable, you hardly see any surprises. I also can't believe that they skipped over the redemption track and Arnav's realization that Khushi is innocent. Nobody talks about the kidnapping and the 6 month contract is under the carpet along with many other things.

1.Was the kidnapping track really needed??😕
We all know why the kidnapping track was included - so there is no use in questioning that.

2.If ASR did not know that Shyam was the one who kidnapped him,why did he suddenly say "I love you" to Khushi over the phone??😲
Just after getting kidnapped,he started to believe in Khushi's innocence all of a sudden...😕
He did not realize that Khushi was innocent after getting kidnapped - he realized that in the airport that is why he turned around to go back. However, due to not being able to see Khushi for so long - his feelings came out.

3.Nobody cared about how and why Arnav got kidnapped...Was throwing Shyam out of the house the only solution for such a critical issue?? 😕
I agree - not a single member of the house cared about Arnav, they were busy with that idiotic lady (poojali). Regarding Shyam - I don't want to comment.

4.The Guptas still don't know about Arnav's kidnapping...Neither do they know about Shyam's truth being exposed nor the fact that he was thrown out of RM...😲
I know - the Gupta's know nothing. Buaji didn't even question anyone about Shyam's whereabouts - that was a bit odd.

5.Did the makers forget that Shyam is responsible for Babuji's present condition???
6.Did the makers forget that Shyam tried to kill Anjali thrice???
Looks like the CVs are suffering from Amnesia. Also, if they remember these 2 aspects then how will they reveal it because in Babuji's case - only Shyam and Babuji know. If Babuji tells the truth - then Dadi and that lady will think he is trying to save Khushi. Regarding his attempts for killing Anjali - no one knows. Unless, Shyam decides to accept it himself.

7.I have always felt that Anjali's character is quite complex,behind that sweet,innocent & caring nature...But now,the complexity of this character is making me feel disgusted...😡 🤢
To be honest, I never ever thought Anjali was sweet - I always took it as an over-reaction and somewhere I knew that one day she will betray her brother. I HATED her and still HATE her.

8.Although I'm enjoying ArHi's track post kidnapping track,Khushi playing hard to get when Arnav was acting all lovey-dovey with her or a redemption track would have been preferable...
I am enjoying this track - I don't want a typical redemption track because that won't compliment ASR's character. Although, the CVs did show his redemption - in a different style.

9.I can understand Dadiji wanting to meet Garima...But why is she always insulting Khushi,whenever she gets a chance??Its evident she is not happy with ArHi's remarriage...😡
Well, yes she only wants to see her Damadji and Anjali bitiya happy. She is re-uniting those two serpents and on the other side she is separating 2 doves.

10.Will the Guptas & Raizadas ever come to know under what circumstances ArHi got married??
I really don't care about that because if they come across this - who knows what fuss they will create again. However, I think Nani knows this - Arnav did tell her.

11.Hats off to Sanaya Irani for her professionalism...Wearing the most 🤢 outfits,without any complaint or demand...(Proud to be her fan ⭐️)
I would like to say Hats Off to both Barun and Sanaya for repeating the same outfits without complaints - I am proud to be their fan (mainly Barun's). However, look at Daljeet - she created a fuss over her role. I am glad I don't like her or her character. [Not bashing her].

they used to focus on the support cast also last year but was done in a very interesting way You wanted to know a bit about them also
I used to find Akash Payal tracks soothing and the BG for that track so beautful they seemed to have a nice chemistry then
Anjali shyam dynamics were really good and ironically the romance quotient between the leads was not so high but yet you waited with bated breath and quickening of the pulse for their moments together
A sensual story was being told at a beautiful pace today there is no emotional connection and certainly no riveting drama and that is why the general viewers are not that interested
not one single plot has had closure and they just seem to drift from scene to scene episode to episode week to week depending on what the brain behind the serial thinks



Agree with every word Fairy. Everything was in place then. Now it is discarded here and there and nobody wants to put the pieces back together.

The old episodes had a definite pace not a single loophole with no unnecessary tracks around. Each character was given their much needed prominence and it all made sense. Right now apart from the wedding happening and Arhi finally becoming the couple nothing makes sense.

Great post.. 👏
My opinions on your questions:

1.Was the kidnapping track really needed??😕
Yup.. it was necessary.. Barun was away shooting for his movie.. as it is, a kidnapping track was always there, whether Arnav's or Khushi's was undecided (i read this somewhere.. may/may not have been correct)..but Barun's movie eased their decision :)

2.If ASR did not know that Shyam was the one who kidnapped him,why did he suddenly say "I love you" to Khushi over the phone??😲
Just after getting kidnapped,he started to believe in Khushi's innocence all of a sudden...😕
hmmm.. good point.. but when he said ILU, i thought that he said coz he feared that he was going to be killed so he wanted Khushi to know of his feelings.. we all know that he was always in love with Khushi.. even before their marriage (however, we were told something else in 23rd July's episode 😕)

3.Nobody cared about how and why Arnav got kidnapped...Was throwing Shyam out of the house the only solution for such a critical issue?? 😕
true.. there could have been some other solution.. we still don't know how he got to know that Khushi was innocent 😕 maybe he did some soul-searching while captive 😆

4.The Guptas still don't know about Arnav's kidnapping...Neither do they know about Shyam's truth being exposed nor the fact that he was thrown out of RM...😲
The Guptas were made very insignificant ever since ArShi got married.. still don't understand why..in that household, only Buaji has some role, but Garima and Shashi..🤢

5.Did the makers forget that Shyam is responsible for Babuji's present condition???
The makers forgot many other things..too many loose-ends.. 😡 they even forgot what the concept of IPKKND is

6.Did the makers forget that Shyam tried to kill Anjali thrice???
Like I said, the makers forgot many other things 😡

7.I have always felt that Anjali's character is quite complex,behind that sweet,innocent & caring nature...But now,the complexity of this character is making me feel disgusted...😡 🤢
I think her character is pretty much the same as before.. dumb! 😡 and blindly in love with creepwa 🤢

8.Although I'm enjoying ArHi's track post kidnapping track,Khushi playing hard to get when Arnav was acting all lovey-dovey with her or a redemption track would have been preferable...
I felt the same too, till a few days back.. but then, now I find that though a redemption would have worked with us, it would have looked unreal.. in one epi, Arnav said he's gonna win over her ASR style.. and his style does not involve mushiness.. we saw that in his I Love You Dammit 😆.. besides, what's going on is actually still redemption.. doing all the rasms, entering the Mandir, etc etc..
and Khushi has always been forgiving.. the ILU changed her completely..she knew how hard it is for ASR to put across his feelings..so she was satisfied with the ILU..

9.I can understand Dadiji wanting to meet Garima...But why is she always insulting Khushi,whenever she gets a chance??Its evident she is not happy with ArHi's remarriage...😡
This is coz creepwa brain-washed dadi.. and all she can see is that Khushi is the cause for the separation btw shyam-anjali.. but once she gets to know the truth about Shyam, she'll prefer going back to the ashram before she's thrown out 😆

10.Will the Guptas & Raizadas ever come to know under what circumstances ArHi got married??
This is the million dollar question.. 😕 maybe when shyam's true face is revealed to dadi, i think Arnav will say it under pressure from the innumerous questions he'll be bombarded with

11.Hats off to Sanaya Irani for her professionalism...Wearing the most 🤢 outfits,without any complaint or demand...(Proud to be her fan ⭐️)
Ummm.. personally, i don't find her outfits very hideous, but yeah, they are slightly off the scale.. but then, Khushi is known for her gaudiness 😆

So, those are my opinions!
And I must say that this is a well-needed post.. I had some of the questions hovering in my mind.. but for this post, i thought them out and came up with some conclusions :)

I share the same feeling as you!
I miss the old IPK magic, and my guess is that its missing cause of all the dramatic changes to the characters. No one other than Shyam seems to have retained his character. I understand that people/characters change with time, but they certainly don't do a 180.

The kidnapping track introduced to cater to Baruns absence was not as bad as what they did with the other characters while ASR went missing. There was so much the CVs could have done to grow the other characters, but they simply chose to place all the burden on Khushi and moved forward with a very weak plot.

What happened after his return was equally confusing and mishandled; so much was left unsaid, and there was such a major back and forth of events and emotions that it turned into a big mess.

I miss the old IPK, and even though there was many illogical things happening at that time too, they weren't this bad. I am not complaining about the current track, i think its fine but yes i do miss the magic.

When one has watched the team deliver such great work in past, it is rather painful to accept something mediocre, specially when there are no visible signs of improvement.

In my entire life this is the first time/ first show that I have followed from day 1, to the extent of actually registering on a global forum and actively participating in discussions in (posting and all). My best wishes to the team, with hope that they will once again bring back the old magic.
