Ok I just watched the SBS segment. Well well I think I will never let go of the anger, but sigh..its pathetic...
let me start,
Once upon a time there was a man..a man who got down from a helicopter, his hands were bare as he walked purposefully and then took off the shades and looked at us with unseeing eyes..eyes aching with pain...those eyes spoke to us...told of a thousand ghosts he had residing inside him, tormenting him... and it was charisma like I had never before seen, a personality so powerfully magnetic that if I was hypnotized by those caramel eyes that darkened with pain, I was left breathless with the sheer male beauty that was in front of my eyes..
And thus...started a journey...
A real man exudes charisma, power and strength through sheer personality.. it was like he was challenging the very earth he was standing on to dare to disobey him.. he exuded such strength and power that it was almost as if he could stop the earth from moving at his will..
And that defined that breathtakingly gorgeous man, whose vitality, strength, power and charisma left us drunk and addicted to a phenomena that was to hold us for all life long...
Arnav Singh Raizada...
And that is where they have gone wrong with the 2nd casting... A gun doesn't give a male that charisma...it is his personality, his innate virility, his inner self that gives it...which will never be recreated through this...
Then came a girl, a pair of huge doe eyes, beguiling and innocent...they smiled on their own..sparkled in mirth..defined who she is,
she was like a sun beam, sparkling, lively and free...
The face of an angel.. that held such innocence and purity in it that she took your breath away.. She was like liquid sunshine, lighting up all around her as she went her merry way.. her steps light...a skip in her step as she breezed through life as carefree as a colorful butterfly...titalia...
And when she faced danger, those beguiling eyes betrayed the tremor of fear that went through her slight being...And the very next second an indomitable spirit rose within her, her grey green eyes flashing fire as her petite figure stood up to her full height...A fiery vision..
that is where they have gone wrong with this casting.. they did manage to get someone who resembled her in stature..yet will never bring out that fiery spirit... a depth that lay underneath..giving her strength...making her take a step ahead towards the challenge facing her despite her hands clutching the sides of her kurti to stop them from shaking...
Khushi Kumari Gupta..
And when fire met ice..
would the fire thaw the ice? Or will the ice put out the fire...
And when fire and ice clashed...
It created..
An attraction never before seen..magnetic pull towards the very person they wanted to run in the exact opposite direction from...
Yet unknowingly had become the very person each could never live without...
Jab Nafrat aur mohobbat dono hai saath... Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon?
It cannot be recreated... the life breathed in to Arnav & Khushi by Barun & Sanaya can never be replicated..
Because...
Magic happens only once in a lifetime...
And magic cannot be bottled, nor could it be simplified to some formula...
Magic happens when the whole world conspires to bring together million entities together... simply so that magic happens..
Entities of a writer in whose mind an idea originated, an idea was nurtured with tender love.. And perfect casting for every character was done... To create sheer perfection that ensnared all of us... enraptured our hearts and souls...
And that magic...
You cannot force it...you cannot will it to happen...
Because magic happens...
when it wants to happen...
when its meant to happen..
And that magic was Arnav & Khushi & Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon?
Forever will be and forever will remain...
I spend the past 15 minutes locked up in the office bathroom cubicle with my Note and headset watching SBS today..weeping while stifling my cries lest someone heard...
And then I wiped my tears and walked out.. washed out the tear stains out of my face and sat down and typed what I felt as I watched...
I simply allowed the first emotions I remember feeling when I saw them cascade over me once again...
My, IPKKND? was Arnav & Khushi's journey.. No one can take it away from me...
And thus.. it will forever remain a classic...
A class apart from the rest..
Once in a lifetime...
I love u IPKKND and thus it will remain my own forever...
All of u.. its ours.. ours ONLY.. will be so forever...
The rainbow that will never fade..
