Edited: Since some PMed me asking what I meant by certain things I edited this for clarity and to avoid further provocation. Please read fully before sending me comments.
What did IPK mean to me?
It is the first Hindi show I watched on TV.
How did it happen?
My sister was spending too much time online and when I mocked at her for this she told me what she is upto. I googled Iss Pyar Ko and ended up on a YT video (the one where Khushi saves Arnav in the kidnap scene by replacing fuel with water).
First impression on seeing that scene?
I was ROFL and made fun of my sister for 1 whole week for watching that crap. It looked like the makers didn't have a brain. The lead male actor (although good looking) stood frozen with an expressionless face. I found his act damn funny and not intense at all. The female actress looked ugly-bad-dressed-stupid makeup(usual SOAP jhalli types) and old (while SP synopsis said KKG is 18 years old). She was shown like a fool trying to do some nonsense.
And then when did I become a phangurl?
My sister told me its not that bad and I should give it a try again. She said it is because I watched one of the most illogical scenes of the show. The male lead is a good actor and that the female lead is good looking if you watch her acting the role (just that her dress/makeup/hair style is bad). And she is not dumb and irritating, its just that she is a little sanki in that serial.
So I watched Love Scene 122 and there was no going back. I loved the chemistry and it intrigued me so much I wanted to know what followed. When it was ASR behaving like a jerk and acting like a total bipolar nutcase I just couldnt stop myself from watching more of that. So within a week I watched the whole year's scenes. And I felt Khushi looked better (face/dress/makeup/hair) until hate marriage track.
How did I find IF?
My sister referred me to the forum and till date this is my biggest regret. This forum is not a good thing at all. It is like nafrat pass aane na de, mohabbat door jaane na de. I hate what happens here. I hate what I do here sometimes. But I just cant keep away anymore. Thank God the show ended and I mostly restrict my IF time to reading FFs or occasional posts like these. I DO NOT LIKE THE VIBE HERE.
Did you even like IPK?
Yes. But I felt that after Feb, the makers messed up the story. It was ok in parts after that.
Barun Sobti?
I did not like the first scene (kidnap) I saw. I thought his act was funny. But later I fell in love with his acting. I love his portrayal of ASR and he is the only TV actor and among the very few Indian actors I admire. I think he can pull off author-backed roles very well. His Strength: Emoting with his eyes, husky voice, good looks.
Sanaya Irani?
Initially I didnt like her. I thought she looked old with a receding headline (for a 18 year old?). And too pasty for my liking. Then I fell in love with Khushi and loved her portrayal. She was perfect for that role. But I prefer Sobti than her because I always prefer subtle acting than OTT. Khushi was OTT I accept but still I dont think Sanaya has a face that can do subtle acting. She is the typical Indian Serial actress with OTT expressions and dialogues. BUT it was so Khushi and so I liked her portrayal. She has a beautiful body and voice. Her Strength: Her Dialogue delivery, her physique which aids her in passing off as years younger than she actually is. (but still 18 year old was too much in the show).
What about the show's abrupt end?
I AM SO GLAD IT ENDED because I was fed up of the crap that was dished out weeks after weeks. The side characters had no proper story line and the main story line was also shitty. I had my remote yes, but my brain was already wired to watch this show no matter what crap was shown. So the only way for me to escape was unplugging the whole damn thing.
I LOVE IPK and I LOVE EVERY CHARACTER.
