Absolutely wonderful thread 👏
@ Ipoona ...loved the way you described Arnav as kadva karela...indeed he brought about upheaval in the lives of gupta sisters...the coming days were going to be kadve as karele...but in the end they both met their soul-mates
@Arshicritic ...take a bow 👏..absolutely loved the way you described the meaning of payal and khushi...I always felt that all the characters in IPK were aptly named.
@redwine1 ...wonderful as usual 👏
love for these 2 happened on a starry night under fairly lights...when they first came upon each others sight
loved ..loved this line 😃 😃
@Girloffire...you summed up the episode very beautifully...
objects in mirror are larger than they appear 👍🏼

Spice Girls are around...at least some...and who knows what may happen next? 😊 Thanks much for asking.

Sabs... From one Mr Darcy fan to another ... I had never in my wildest dreams imagined that I would feel this way for another character what I felt for Darcy, Lizzie in particular .. And Pride and Prejudice in general...
Let me tell you... No one is more shocked than me that I am so so crazy about our Desi version... I think it has all the elements that made P&P a classic and then some... But you are right the similarity ends somewhere around Diwali...love both all the same ... But am loving IPK a tad more these days coz it has context for us... More than a Brit book...no offence to any Austen fans as I am one myself...



Cannot help but jump in here...😊 Don't know if you guys were around on the forum during the early days of the show, but apparently Gul herself had mentioned in some interview that this was based on P&P. I remember resisting the notion with quite a healthy intensity, chiefly because the ASR of yore was no Mr. Darcy. All the other parallels were there as enumerated by tvbug (love your name btw😊)...and additionally, there was the Anjali-Georgiana, and Shyam-Mr.Wickham parallels. But, ASR of the first thirty or so episodes was eons removed from my Mr.Darcy...and then the guest house happened, and the process of darcification started. There was lots of discussion on the subject, circa July-Aug 2011.


As for loving desi or firangi, both are on separate, but equally immovable pedestals in my heart's hall of fame. 😊

Hello all ...

love the discussions happening here .. throwing in my 2 cents worth ..

Any lover or admirer of Romance probably loves P&P .. one of the classics of modern romance .. most love stories will find connect to several classics .. specially such long running love stories like the ones shown in serials ...

Now if u reflect ... Doesnt IPK .. find amazing similarity to Taming of the Shrew .. but ofc in reverse .

Throwing this thot up for discussion .. 😉

@ TVbug2011...Sabs
@Vistaa
@redwind... Ruby
I agree... That you can not be a lover of romance and not love or try to relate all epic romance you see to P & P somehow... After all it was the original...

Brooding... Arrogant...Contemptuous AND of course a Prejudiced hero...
A Spirited...Disarming... Principled...Disadvantaged AND of course Proud heroine ...The story of "First Impressions"...on how erroneous and incomplete they can be... The love story .. Woven into a rich tapestry of familial love... sisterly bonds... societal values... I think those are the threads that link our IPK to P & P...
As for taming of the Shrew... I don't remember enough to make any intelligent comments... But the title sure suites the taming of our very own ASR... 😛

Ruby...ASR makes so many biased, erroneous value judgments about Khushi ... Tum jasi ladkiya...Auukat... Hassiyat... All based on the first encounter... Now I too personally ( very strongly) believe that this ASR does not gel right... He is after all a modern, cosmopolitan, liberal man... His world view seems very elegatarian ...yet he spouts these antiquated sentiments... I think this was done to suit the story line rather than his true character...

I have already written my views on Episode 7 ... Will post them once 7 is up and discuss more there...😛
Such words out of his mouth always rang untrue to me... He is completely intolerant ... Does not suffers fools at all and incompetence even less... He yells at the Prakash brothers or Aman not so much out of class divide as he does because of his inability to cope with incompetence... He would be a horrid but completely fair boss... Maybe completely off topic but..
