Oh yes, even I started after Teej. In fact my first epi was the one where Shyam enters RM officially as damad after Teej. And since the next 1/2 epis were all full of Shyam, but the title still suggesting it to be a love story, I thought it was a love story of Shyam and Anjali, 😆😆 two handicapped people.. since Shyam/ Abhas was on crutches that time and Anj the handicapped..It was from their first SUV Janmashtami feud that I would completely get hooked onto, and watched the previous 3 months of epis 2 in about 2 weekends..but even during that hurried watching, Guest house and Teej firmly stood out and I confess I watched them over and over in the first few weeks/ months. 😳Their longing for each other after the guest house and her resignation was brought out tremendously well. By that literal heat wave at that temple, ground was firmly laid for a ballistic fire, with him denying of her the basic rights and regulations of an employee and she denying him of a chance to explain himself.. those cheesy words of that song almost felt reading their hearts out there hiding under their fire. and the first impression lingers on.I often wondered which way that song was meant for Anj (was it menat for Shyam and her??) except for that rather basic flat tune wihout much variation in notes as opposed to Arshi's metallic ones with lot of range, and teh choice of instruments. Sorry, I can slip into the boring details..Known Raju singh since the late 1990s when he did some albums with Alka Yagnik, but in IPK he was some one possessed!
