Love Of A "Thorn"
By ArshiHamesha
A rose fell in the arms of a thorn full of animosity
He plucked her petals with the force of hostility
She faced the wrecking nature of his shattering
With smile Here and there against his asperity
She challenged to enter where no one could dare
The Heart of his fluttered with her feathery touch of care
She Smiled at the palpitated veins of venomous savage
That altered the course of pulsation in the beast of a scare
Thorns of his venomous hate made her bleed to her heart
Still couldn't remove her from the kinship of his drought
Hate denied love several times from the ruthless pact
Still Love found the way seeping into the shoving hate
He smiled ,cried, allied by making her part of his skin
She was the bride of same beast and a prince of akin
Winning both she persecuted all the thorns of his kin
Making him, kissed silky Rose by showering petals of tin
Iss Pyar Ko Kya Naam Doon!!!
IPK, the brush colors my life with shades
6th june 2011, was the day since when my life has been changed.
My inner rambling stumbled to a halt when I tried to find the reason. It's because on that day Arnav and Khushi entered to my life officially. Can't believe myself for loving a TV soap in that extent!
Iss pagalpanko mein kya naam doon?
Iss Pyaar ko kya naam doon is not just a TV show but my oxygen to breath, nourishment for my soul; a deluge of feelings that wreak havoc in my heart.
![]()
IPK taught me the meaning of love.
It taught me how love can reduce a person to anything.
IPK is a brush that colors my life with shades.
No Romeo and Juliet, no Laila-Majnu, no Heer-Ranjha, no epic love story touched my soul so deeply how Arnav and Khushi's love story did.. My life is just preoccupied with the thought of Arnav and Khushi only.
Arnav, a young devastatingly sexy tycoon, who is a turbulent ocean of conflicting emotions; who is complex, sometimes bipolar a very astute businessman, who doesn't believe in love or marriage. But he eventually became lovelorn for a small town simple, zany girl, who is extremely beautiful from inside and out.
Though Arnav loved to remain in the facade of a shrewd man, but his love for his family sure proved he was a much better human being that he let on in the world. Later his myriad love for Khushi proved that there is no other man in this word who can love a girl with so much enormity.
On the other hand Khushi is a girl with very strong ethics and values, who also loves her family immensely; who is childish but very mature when needed. She fell in love with Arnav who is just opposite to her character.
I can say if he was like fire, she was like water falling in pearlescent drops from heaven, to cool his sou. He clamed to hate her but despite that he never could get her out of his thought, always tried to be around her. He was a heartless beast but always was her savior. And finally they both broke through all the walls, hurdles, and tumult and drew to each other like a moth to flame. She was like a force of the nature who jolted him awake.
And finally the love of this star crossed lovers got it's name.
My heart felt gratitude to Barun Sobti and Sanaya Irani who made Arnav and Khushi so real, lovable and enthralling. Their magical chemistry captivates me so much that I can't love any other couple besides them.
Since the day Barun landed in my TV screen from a helicopter, he had become my ASR. Since the day sanaya Irani entered the screen riding a scooty she had become my Khushi. And still they are ruling my heart as a magnificent couple called Arshi.
When Arshi comes to my TV or computer screen an involuntary smile suffuses my face, a frisson of excitement runs through my spine.
The air simmers with sensuality and desire with their presence.
My heart pounds erratically when Arnav looks at Khushi lovingly or even with rage.
My heart does somersault when he walks towards her prowlingly, causing her to take steps back involuntarily.
A million butterflies flutter their wings inside my stomach, when ASR speaks in insanely attractive timbre of his voice.
My heart spasm with pain when Arnav and Khushi cry in grief.
My mind stirs with enormous feelings when I hear the romantic or the melancholic note of rabba vey.
Arnav and Khushi's love story is sheer magic what ignites my body, cools my soul.
Arnav and Khushi's love is the greatest love story what I will cherish for my whole life. So IPK's anniversary is not just a day of celebration, I celebrate and cherish everyday for coming across to a magnificent love story called iss pyaar ko kya naam doon.
My warm thanks to Gul khan to conceive and vision Arnav and Khushi and cast Barun and Sanaya in the roles. I know if Sarun were not Arshi, I wouldn't love IPK that much.
My thanks to the whole ensemble cast and the whole crew who worked behind the camera to make such wonderful show what is so far the best show of this universe.
I always mutter a supplication under my breadth just to see Barun and Sanaya again as Arnav and khushi in season-2 of IPK.

~~~~Nafrat Paas Aney Na De~~~~
How did the Hate try to keep em apart...
IPK is a story of a Thorn who loves to take care of Roses [All mothers, Payal and his Khushi] with his own bleeding heart.A heart which had lost it's own beat within wounded war of his childhood and adulthood's perceiving notions of life.A life full of pain , regression and loss.A loss of his Rose, his mother who was the brightest star in his life with a canvas of full of colors.Her guiding light was always with him and directed his heart to perceive another and bigger light of the Moon to diminish all the darkness within and around his life , to spread all the colors of the rainbow around him ,to make him happy and laugh forgetting all the pain and the regression.
Her guiding light open his eyes to show him the Red Rose in that dark night where that Rose fell in the arms of this thorn.A thorn felt a small jolt in his heart first time as someone opened the jammed doors with a key but he rejected it with the same jolt by punishing the Rose to lock it with the same key ,just to control these prohibited and abandoned feelings.
![]()
"Arnav Singh Raizada ko kissi Ladki se koi fadak nahin padta..." and here starts the journey of a Thorn whose cravings caressing that rose turn into rage of scrunching that Rose under his feet for making him feel and sense what he never allowed to even think of .His reflex under the receptivity of innocence and love always punish that Rose but unintentionally he fed that Rose the life of eternity with his own blood.Arnav's love for Khushi increases with each pain he transferred her but his own hate also got cloaked under the fragrance of purity and innocence and he couldn't stop submerging in the fragrance of this Rose totally unaware of that Evil eye has chosen His Rose to pluck and to wake him up from a slumber.
![]()
Fate played it's own tune and Khushi ends up working for him but her determination and stubbornness made him halt to see his own reflection in her.He put her through the intensity and harshness of all weathers but in return get rained with the bolt of thunder too.His fuming exasperation put her life in danger and the first time he felt a strong jolt which left a mark for eternity in him.She made a crack through the shell of ASR and suffocated Arnav breathed fresh air of love in years.He caressed this Rose with delicacy and craved for more but Rose detached herself from the pinching cruelty of this thorn without realizing the pain of his bleeding heart without giving him a chance to explain his state.
Destiny did play the game of it's own and Rose couldn't pluck out thorn from hers either.Arnav and Khushi got their first knot under the sound of shunk with their mothers' blessings under the star, the Sun and at the top it made Khushi back to her wriiten fate, Next to Thorn's heart who beats for her but gets rejected from Brain.
He smashes the petals of Rose throwing her out but again forced to protect her and ASR reached her home to bring her back to him in his home.She asked to train someone else to beat his heart the same way as she does but during that process she lost her heart and he heard her erratic beat too which stirred his passion to caress her lips with his... but his bitterness took over to smash her with another jolt of rejection which bleeds her heart to mix with his blood but this time again Arnav couldn't stop it either but ASR within did "iss baat ka koi matlab nahi"...and he threw her out without his protection to be very vulnerable which made evil to claim her as his...But Destiny brings mother to join hands and make another knot in their relation under the bells of blessings and this time Evil remained unaware that She already has been not only marked by her owner but again has been under his safe heaven.
Naniji and Anjali bring Khushi back to make La his bride but this time he gets smashed by Khushi's engagement and that make him roar to claim his Right on her but this time she makes him taste his own meds."Humain koi fadak nahi Padta"...
Destiny couldn't see the silent tears and Rose gets smacked by the bitter truth of Evil but this time she wanted to save the thorn , his Arnavji from the agony of Fate by putting her in all weathers by herself.Fate gives her a chance to spread smile and happiness among all without knowing the true face of evil.Her murmuring heart delivers a silent message to him to make him realize his true Love for her.
Both get a chance to be with each other and thorn does open his heart to adore and replenish this Rose with his visage and leaves no stone to caress her, to devour her ,to inhale her, to capture her essence with his lips , with his touch , with his passion and burning desires.
He wants to awake her desires, to awake her heart notes to mingle with him again which he rejected on Diwali .Arnav did open his bleeding heart to let the essence of this Rose feel him and let him feel her.During this ,he feels his stone heart can beat only for this Rose"Khushi" ..."Farak padta hai dammit Kyuonke..."but still a hesitancy makes him stop confessing his true feelings...
Fate plays another game and Evil burns the hope of thorn with his ugly and nefarious acts which make Thorn to burn the Rose with his acrimony.His passionate hate still couldn't remover her from him and Destiny made them knotted together for forever but in front of mothers under the star with the bells of blessings by screaming out pain and convulsion over thorns way of squishing Rose again without telling her the reason of his asperity"Aaj se tum meri patni ho...".
Evil got defeated but he did get success tearing apart two hearts for a while yet Love finds it way back in there...and two hearts confess their Love on a colorful day of Holi..."Humari dhadknain eik ho jati hain" as Khushi never failed to put this thorn in challenges and smacking him with her innocence "aisa kyuon hota hai"...to make him human again...
Their pull and push within not only make them understand each other but also make them to feel the Need and dependence on each other till Khushi brings him to the edge where he tells her the reason of his burning her like that.He throws her under the fire again by marking her with someone else with his bleeding yet roaring in Love...
Thorn goes back to his impassive state but this time Rose doesn't let him...All the Hate and Evil couldn't stop this Thorn and Rose to be one with Love bloomed with divine powers...
How this love will keep em together...see in Part two
SCROLL DOWN...😊

Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon?
What should I name this love?

The Journey From Hate to Love
by cinthiann1758
I celebrate the day that this wonderful serial was placed on the air on Star Plus, Monday to Friday with occasional Maha episodes (that I longed for) on a Saturday, which played on my computer and television multiple times a day.
I long for the reliving of those moments of waiting, butterflies in my stomach, palms sweating and the feeling of anticipation, sitting on the edge of my bed to see my ASR turn into my Arnav and wondering what will my Khushi Kumari Gupta do next?
(Didn't we all feel they belonged to us?)
I use to talk to ASR and even myself while watching,
"How dare he?" and "Did he just do that?"
and then just melt when he looked a certain way. I laughed so hard at Khushi's antics and mannerisms.
I got lost in his chocolate puppy dog eyes, which could express every emotion with a blink, a stare, a wink and you could always tell his fury by his eyes.
It was the emotion of love, unfolding and deep hurt which built walls that would crumble before our very eyes that I came to know and love, seeing it in his eyes, slowly but steadily through his mesmerizing gazes at his beauty, Khushi and her possessive flying dupattas. I couldn't wait for his stone cold heart to crumble and melt into the warm and loving embrace of the young, zany, middle class girl who really didn't know about love herself.
They had a common link, orphaned at a young age from parental tragedies and both were raised in loving homes in Lucknow, only causing both to be stronger individuals. They were complete opposites as well, ASR didn't care about anyone or anything, power and money and he himself were his gods while KKG was powered by her devotion to Devi Maiiya, sanskars and tradition.
Their paths crossed with Devi Maiyya intervening many a time. Starting from Khushi being at the wrong place at the right time where she met the infamous and furious ASR, falling into his arms and ruining his show right before his eyes and as those eyes gazed at the dazzler in his arms and her pink luscious lips... to her dupatta flowing freely over his face caressing him lovingly... to her holding the key to his wish... to her scooter running into his car even though they moved to a different state... to Khushi being hired by his company and her unintentionally ruining a fur coat for a VIP model and that's when he noticed, really noticed the beauty in red.
How could she make him feel this way...stirring things inside of him he didn't really care to understand, he chose not to understand or want. Walls went up, anger took over and revenge settled into his heart. He would not feel this way and this was his punishment to her; so he sent her out in the rain to park cars and made her work extra long hours knowing she had to go home for her sister's birthday and then banished her to the guest house all deteriorated and decrepit, ready to fall in a instant only to realize she was stuck there and off he went to her rescue late at night where he was confronted by a lioness and the battle really started.
Anger took over and as much as he pushed her away she came in front of him.
Devi Maiyya had other plans for them.
So I sat at the edge of my bed waiting and watching, biting my nails, palms sweating and heart racing in anticipation for those plans to unfold. I waited and watched, as our couple hated each other, argued, fell upon each other, and continued to come together over and over again and again I waited and watched Devi Maiyya's plans unfold.
Watching Lavanya become his live-in girlfriend was not easy. She was the arrogant ringleader at work who hated Khushi but Khushi was there to rescue and help her out at the Raizada Mansion making her fit into the role of bahu of the Raizada household. Anjali and Naniji loved Khushi from the beginning since her sari selling days and were her greatest champions and Devi Maiiya's matchmakers on earth. We see Khushi's magic change a girl like Lavanya into a proper bahu for that same Raizada household only for Khushi to find herself attracted to the man she longed to hate and avoid at every turn. She didn't understand what was happening to her but something was pulling her to him, stirring deep inside to her soul...a lifemate perhaps?
I hated Shyam with my whole being even from the earliest I can remember. He just made my skin crawl and I must say Abbhas did an excellent job portraying his character. The plot thickened with Shyam weaseling himself in as a paying guest at the Gupta house. He followed them there from Lucknow where he first saw and saved Khushi from some very sleazy goons and they didn't forget the favor. So the innocent Guptas made a place for him in their home and he was a perfect candidate for marriage with the Sanka
Devi, Khushi. Babuji's illness was brought about by the evil Shyam for his scheme to marry Khushi. In their helplessness it would be good to have another man around the house and someone who could take care of at least one of the marriageable aged sisters.
I was still at the edge of my bed, sitting on pins and needles as I watched Khushi hatch a plan to sabotage a business trip so Lavanya and ASR could be alone but needless to say our Devi Maiyya gave Lavanya a zit and alas the vain woman couldn't go but Khushi wound up in ASR's trunk unconscious due to a knock on her noggin' and there she went instead of La.
What ensued changed everything.
A trust built in a very strange way between them. He was angry at first...of course he would be after all she put sugar in the gas tank. So they walked through the woods and she had to trust him. He lost her for a while for she was forbidden to speak and she fell in a sinkhole and he panicked a little until he found her. Her clothes were stolen and she was left with bridal attire so when they stopped at a roadside stand they were assumed to be eloped lovers.
Oh yes, she made him suffer. Dancing away, Khushi happily let go of her inhibitions and her hips swayed and the beauty in all her glory mesmerized him. He scooped her up, after all it was their "suhaag raat", and brought her to their honeymoon suite where he dumped her on a chair and furiously he left her there all night to sleep in the cold dark living room as he slammed the bedroom door. Honeymoon over.
I saw another side of ASR that episode because when he woke up and went to check on the now unconscious Khushi, he swept her off the chair brought her to the bed and cared for her so lovingly you would think she was his wife. I saw a changing ASR and a little bit of the cold in his heart was warming as he gave her medicine and held her glass for her to drink. I sighed.
On the way home Khushi was mistaken for that runaway bride who stole her clothes and after seeing Khushi manhandled by a goon, Arnav in a fit of rage beat the living daylights out of the goons until Khushi called out his name and placed her calming hand on his shoulder to stop. I sighed again.
What was going on? Was he changing? Iss Pyaar Ko Kya naam Doon?
Upon the couples return Khushi finds out about Babuji's illness and he is in the hospital. She goes with great despair. She can't lose her parent again. I sat there crying feeling Khushi's pain and sadness.
I just knew she needed a hug, someone to support her and then there he was...
There were so many times in this show where he supported her as she crept into his heart. She allowed the cold walls of doubt, distrust, hate and fear to melt away from his heart and she built in him trust, friendship and support and a place where he had no fear to feel and he could feel love was safe. His attraction to her kept growing but his denial was great and he continued to push her away but again Devi Maiyya knew there destiny. Through twists and turns, misunderstandings and deceptions the plot thickened and our couple fell in love with fairy lights, lit diyas and poolside as its backdrop. Enchanted by the other and mesmerizing gazes across the room, something stirring, iss pyaar ko kya naam doon? He followed his attraction, her eyes and lips beckoned him that night at poolside, a gaze of permission perhaps but he couldn't control himself any longer and he surrendered by attempting a kiss. A kiss that was so breathtaking that had us on the edge of our seats again only to be interrupted by reality's ringing of his phone. That night he returned to her, her mother's precious payal that he had in his keeping- holding close to him but all was destroyed with reality's ring and an engagement announcement took place instead. He would hurt her and push her further away. ASR announced his intent to marry La.
Through twists and turns, again our IPK took us to the limits wanting to hate La but we couldn't, wanting ASR to openly confess his love to Khushi and he didn't, but we saw a self centered woman change into a caring respectable human being and became mature as she realized that the man she loved and wanted to marry loved someone else even though he never would admit it. So La left us and I actually cried, did you?
IPK did that to me, to us, it let us love every character developed or undeveloped, even a goat named Laxmi.
Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon? Continued with more storylines and we were still waiting with anticipation for this love bud to bloom into the rose.
This love remained unspoken and I delighted in all the crazy scenarios as well (as the entry of NK, Khushi BFF) and then was destroyed finally by a misconstrued incident by a devious, deceptive, lying and cheating husband and BIL. Trust was broken and I cried so much, it was heart wrenching to see their pain.
It's hard to even write about.
We all know what happened next with the following tracks... the forced marriage, Gupta House, the bridge and Revelation of Shyam Part 1, Arnav's kidnapping, The revealing of "I love you, Khushi", the search is on with detectives Mami and Khushi, Dadi's entry, Arnav's Safe, the Revelation of Shyam Part 2, Anjali's Accident and Miscarriage and Remarriage of A&K with Garima's Truth, The Revelation of Shyam Part 3 and then all the silly story lines after that I choose not to even acknowledge but I still watched on the edge of my bed in anticipation.
Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon? a Hindi serial, which although off the air, still stays with us. We gather in threads on this Forum, pagal in love with the show's story and the actors. We haven't forgotten, nor will we.
Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon?
Has been our journey from hate to love, from sadness to happiness and because of this show we gather together united in love as sisters. We transcend every nationality, creed and even age for we have a common bond, a show with brilliant actors that taught us that hate can become love,
Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon?
😉
What if Arnav had not released the fashion show tapes? What if Khushi had adamantly refused to come to Shantivan and teach Lavanya? What if...
After almost 10 years, I started watching IPK again from the Diwali track and continued until Shyama’s exit in just 2 weeks It felt like nothing...
