POPULARITY IS DIFFICULT TO HANDLE

So many problems that happened in our dear serial were only becoz of the high popularity it gained. The popularity was as such good for a few & created a great pressure on others.

1st problem started with our serial when the hate marriage started. There was a huge disappointment from the fans side. TRPs started to fall. We are so greedy that we want 'all is well' & the show also to run for so many episodes. How will the CVs manage to give episodes then??? The CVs really had planned the story so well initially & managed to cross about 180 episodes without getting the main leads married that usually doesn't happen in other serials. Great applause to CVs for that. And as everyone feels that was the GOLDEN PERIOD OF IPKKND. Then saturation slowly started to set in. A twist was mandatory hence the hate marriage. Ya the CVs failed to show ASR as a shrewd guy & instead showed him as an emotional fool who took a hasty decision of marrying khushi forcefully & keep her in the same house as Shyam is. Definitely so stupid. But how to drag the serial & at the same time keep it entertaining. Minus the logic in the hate marriage track, we should not forget that we got so many wonderful arshi scenes like I hate you, Shirt scene, Mandir, Kheer, Water fight, Holi, Khushi's nautanki, Bali, Heer-Ranjha, Tuition scenes, Swamy track and GH track. It is true that if u try to satisfy everyone, u will never succeed. There were so many complaints about whatever they show after that. Few said we don't want fake romance (infront of family members), some didn't want rona-dhona, some didn't want khushi to comeback to her old chirpy & sanki attitude. But if we feel positive, we can justify everything. ASR has few reasons to be cold & ruthless to khushi becoz here & there khushi-shyam were found together after terrace scene (like heer-ranjha, gift wrap & minor other incidents too). Khushi couldn't get the truth from arnav's mouth & hence she decided to torture him in her own OTT but cute way (which Arnav enjoyed anyway. I laugh at her swami act & other antics at GH. That period only I started to watch IPKKND & I got attracted to it. It was really nice) so that ASR himself throws her out of RM. Finally she felt Arnav loves only la & the suicide track. Many felt that was OTT. But it was fine to me. She loves Arnav unconditionally. Though she had hurt her number of times, she wants him to be happy. If he would be happy at her death, then she was ready for it. This shows her selfless love, not stupid. But the saddest point was they failed to show Arnav to realize her motive behind the suicide attempt. They didn't show a shrewd ASR in the mean time. It should have been good had he used his brain to have a bg check for shyam. He did nothing except blocking all his accounts. Nothing more than that. They could have shown the intense of hate marriage in a better way like Asr makes khushi sign contract papers (showing how both of them suffer from inside). In the mean time the CVs flattered badly with payash track & hence brought in bubbly track which could have been avoided or they could have shown her in a positive way. The main fault I found with the introduction of new characters for story development is that all were negative (Bubbly, dummy masala mama, dadi, Sheetal). For story development they could have introduced some positive characters. The only character NK introduced in the middle was loved & adored by everyone after arshi because of its positive energy & freshness that brought into the script.

2nd problem was due to ASR's popularity, Barun got film offer which is very good for his future career. I will love him the same way in all his future projects as well. But as a greedy fan & an ASR-lover, I felt bad that he got distracted from IPKKND. I have really thought why he got movies in between IPKKND. He should have got the film offers after IPKKND ended on a happy note with about 500 episodes (just I wished). Ya I am being selfish, I know. This was the major blow to IPKKND. Barun told in interviews that he would be brain-dead if he continued with the show as he had nothing new in the show to contribute to it. But if he didn't get the film offers, even if he hated to act the same role he would not have moved on (atleast 90% of chances for him to stay in IPKKND). He was lucky to get movies & we are unlucky to have lost ASR L He kept up his promise to come back & really worked hard at that time to juggle between 2 commitments at the same time. I pity him for taking so much pain. I love him for that. The show become seriously irritating with khushi's act to shyam. But poor CVs they originally planned to kidnap Khushi but had to change the script. They prepared the script to cover up barun's absence for 20 episodes but again they had to drag it for another 20 episodes. Haste makes waste. They didn't have much time to plan the script, hence ipkknd suffered once again there. Yet I applaud the CVs for giving us some wonderful scenes inbetween like arnav's confession through phone, khushi's dream, arnav's dream, their meeting, first complete hug & jungle intimate scenes. But they were bashed as usual for the almost SR. Come on, they made arshi meet to make us feel better & happy (obviously to raise the trps). They are with each other after a considerable time & they have so much love in their heart for each other now (Arshi missed each other badly, Arnav confessed his love to khushi & Khushi has risked her life for him). Love is overflowing after not meeting each other for about a week. Changing dress because her dress was torn was silly. But don't think from brain, feel that scene from the heart. Now he has no reasons to control his passion for her. They know what they feel for each other. But they were deceiving themselves all this while & now they have removed their masks and are being themselves.

Popularity and fame are like passing clouds if serial is hit it gives fame too.
But nowadays its a different theory serials story run not stars so new stars arise once in 6months or year so new set of fans and new fame so its a tough place to be .
About ipk it had lost it charm after 7 months no offense but that's harsh reality .

YA CHINKI... u r right... Popularity is like passing clouds... I always wondered who was at no. 1 in television ranking before barun... He is at no. 1 from april I guess... Who was at no. 1 before?... I guess Gurmeet not sure though... May be barun's ranking may also go down in future already SI's ranking started to go down...

But I have never been so obsessed with a serial in my 23 years. After hrithik, my crush is only ASR. I am not sure if it is ASR or Barun. I love barun's offscreen masti. But I couldnt enjoy his other roles (tried watching a few). But I will watch his movies & wait for his new projects, because he made the character ASR iconic & I will love him always for that.

Don't know if some other movie/serial/actor/character in future would ever make me obsessed. But arshi & IPKKND will always be cherished by me forever.

i guess...i kinda agree...
anyway.. one fact.. that hate marriage was NEVER on IPK Cvs own schedule at that time.. they had no intention to get the leads married even then..
but SP forced their habds just before SPA...and well CVs didn't buck up and pick the pieces and simply let everything fall apart...

and well honestly as for the rest.. let's just say i'll forever be disappointed that I lost IPKKND and the love of my life ASR and his Khushi due to the undue importance fans bestowed on everything related to this show...
for me even today i worship everything to do with IPK.. I cannnot help it.. but sadly it was this very worshiping that resulted in us losing everything we loved too..

IPK taught me one lesson..
Never to give something or someone so much importance that you give it or him the power to break u...

after a while i replied in a post lamenting about my loss... cz no wishing would ever bring it back... nothing would bring back the most precious and cherished days of my entire 24 years of life...

AGREE - it still hurts - time heals but what we want can never ever be- you have to grasp something & behold & appreciate it whilst you have it. DID WE DO THAT? Remember all the criticism that was leveled at all the different issues etc & now its all gone NEVER to return.
LESSON learnt to never get passionate over anything to that extent - like most it was the first time for me too & I know not to repeat this adualtion again - it affected my every day when the rumours started surfacing about Barun leaving last September & then beginning November again- I felt ill- now I reflect on it & think WHAT THE - you silly billy!!!

first I thought of giving it a quick glance then started reading it line by line .. it felt nice ..

many of things you said very straight forward ..

from the fan's point of view and the cv's one also .. nice job there..

but the whole point is for both of the cases IPKKND suffered and eventually what happened we all knew ..

when I was re-watching the episodes I found some of my earlier reactions were not the same .. dont know why ..

anyways loved reading this one..
