My IPK story started when my mom was majorly fangurling over the actor and character of ASR coaxed me into watching one episode. The first rabba ve (photoshoot episode) was the first one i watched and those 20 minutes of magic turned me into an IPK addict that today 4 months after the show ended no story, character or actor can connect with me like IPK and Sarun did.
I literally sat up all night n did a marathon watch of all the previous episodes and was hooked for good.
The magic of the creative team, the actors, directors and music worked wonders and gave me the best 18 months of TV entertainment i have ever witnessed.
While IPK lost much of its charm in story telling way before it ended Barun and Sanaya and their awesome chemistry kept me glued to it till the last day.
I started watching the show and became an ARHI fan but by the time it ended i was a Sarun fan.
I love Barun for the brilliance he brought to the character of ASR; for his humility in always crediting the writers and team for the characters success, for his passion and conviction to move away from such an epic character to try new, challenging opportunities and for the dignified silence he maintained through the ending fiasco.
I love Sanaya for the wonderful actress she is and for her positive and full of life approach to things. I appreciate her dedication to the show when all other parties involved had clearly lost interest.
So IPK gave me a fairytale in ARHI but introduced me to wonderful actors and human beings like Barun and Sanaya and i look forward to their future projects.
Plus the show introduced me to this forum and i made some wonderful online buddies who shared my passion for the show and its actors.
