KHUSHI KUMARI GUPTA - She is everything which asr is not. She was fierce as a tigress in front of ASR. She changed in her love for him just like asr changed for her. I have seen some say that her characterization is based on Kajol's K3G. Comedy is a serious business. But Sanaya rocked with her comic timing & expressions for about 300+ episodes. She was equally good in sad scenes too & made us cry.
Both of them with their best chemistry made even simple scenes intense & passionate. They both deserve to reach great heights in the career they aspire.
ANJALI - Perfect example of blind love & faith. She is selfish but doesn't intend to harm others. Little complicated character still a sweet sister.
SHYAM - An obsessive lover for money & Khushi. He values money more than anything. Despite being the villain, I like that he never forced himself on Khushi, though he has manhandled her once & falsely accused her in front of the family.
NK - A sweet & funny character. He initially had crush upon Khushi. He was always a sweet friend to Khushi. He is always helping to Arshi.
PAYAL - A protective sister, obedient daughter, good wife & good bahu.
AKASH - A brother who is ready to follow his brother blindly. He respects his decision & never want to question his decisions.
NANIJI - Righteous person & a very sweet nani who can dance with her grandchildren. She loves her pet laxmiji too.
MAMIJI - Loves Anjali & ASR as much as she loves her own son. She wanted high-class bahus & hence taunts payal & khushi. Still she loves her DILs & does not to show that openly.
Nani-mami quotient is also adorable.
MAMAJI - A good father, son, husband & father-in-law. Mami-mamji nok-jokhs are sweet.
GARIMA - A non-biological mother of two. A mother who can sacrifice anything for her daughters.
SHASHIJI - Though Khushi is not his daughter, he loves her as much as he loves Payal. A man who had brains but paralysed to our disappointment.
BUAJI - She taunts Khushi a lot & gives her several names 'sanka devi' 'sanki' 'parameshwari'. Sometimes she gives step-mother treatment to Khushi. But she loves both Payal & khushi.
GUPTA Neighbours - Happy singh & others are very understanding & helping.
LA - A modern girl who initially didn't bother about family values & traditions. But with Khushi's friendship, she changed so much. She became a genuine friend to Khushi. She loved ASR & wanted arshi to be together while she left.
HP - Man with several faces. Does all the household works. Adds to fun quotient & man power to the show sometime.
AARAV - Adopted son of Arshi. Basically he too has some qualities like ASR & was also trained to behave like him. He loves his adopted parents so much.
Hope I didn't miss anyone out (ignoring the last 2 tracks).
IPK has a wonderful & the best cast. The IF rankings too reflect that. Only show where many side characters are within 100. Their off-screen bonding are so adorable.
Happy to know that Daljeet is pregnant. God bless her. All the best to everyone's career. God bless them with a happy love life too. How can we all forget naniji's thumkas, mami's hello hi bye bye, buaji's hai re nandakishore, arnav's what the, khushi's hey devi maiyya & nk's tooti hindi. I have never seen such interesting characters in other shows. They will be in our memories forever.
