IPK, the brush colors my life with shades
hi sohara, i saw this the moment you posted, loved the opening, couldn't get back to it till now... so don't mind as i read and ramble with you right here...
did you have to post that gif right here, now my heart is flying 😳... this intoxication that has made me almost not need whisky any more.

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?
pagalpan ko pagalpan hi rehne do koi naam na do... you know i have always enjoyed your complete honesty and unreined fascination... i have been there, and every once in a way in a day i am there. it matters to me this serial. that is all. not complaining not explaining.

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. lovely, so it is.


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.
nothing comes close even... they are real yet they are mythical, they are here, transient, on tv yet they are in some other space, always there, classic, nothing fades them.

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. did i tell you ever i love asr's flaws, his cold, staccato vein... his inert eyes, sometimes you catch the turbulence, at others he just goes so thickly asr, you think he has no feelings. his walk into the dargah i can watch in a loop for eternity. why must i like the unlikable? an actor thought deeply about his character and made him human... and a human as big as asr, his flaws also had to feel magnificent... no smallness in him. i recall barun saying how he was the last person who could not to like asr. even what he did not like in asr, he had to make it likable. i hope barun knows this worked like a charm... that thought of his.
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. oh she was so so lovely, sanya making khushi was mesmersing too.. making her zany, not predictably cute, making her jhalli but sharp, making her sassy... she was such a girl. she sometimes would remind me of zeenat aman in hare rama... a clean untouched sparkle, a real cool. when i saw queen and rani, i thought ah, she was there on a tv screen really and thenwell, reality got her. she was magic, only a girl will know how potent and powerful that understanding of a girl... tradition blending wonderfully with acontemporay heart and spirit... trust me, i am the last person to go gaga obver the telling of the krishna kansa tale, but i watched witha smile growing, how light and frothy and earnest and deep was our khushi. he was shatir, of course he would fall for her. 😳 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. my heart too. 😃
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 hamesha suffuses my face, a frisson of excitement runs through my spine.
The air simmers with sensuality and desire with their presence. yes yes oh yes... what is it they create... my shins, back of my ears, upper arms or back of neck at times... catching fire, breaking out in goosebumps... two people are doing nothing at times, just looking at each other or inching a little closer or raving and fighting.. never ever has a jodi done this to me.
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. me too... and yes, barun and sanaya really should act together again, they are fabulous together... good enough reason na?
