WOW! this is just the word that is coming in my mind right now! 😳

I think I've seen you here and there in the forum but never got a chance to interact with you (and sorry for that😕).

I simply can't imagine the hard work you've put into making such a beautiful tribute to IPKKND EJ. and wow the use of pics is cherry on the top! The whole IPKKND is here, with Sarun, the cast, and the team behind the cameras. 😳

You're making me emotional really, it'll be really hard to say a final goodbye to IPKKND on Tuesday. You know it's like the show became a part from our lives because we have so many memories attached to it! The fun, the masti, the pagalpanti, EVERYTHING!

and our forum is really special for that. Like the show we've been through ups and downs but it doesn't matter because at the end we're still together after 3 years. 😳

Let's wait for Tuesday and see what is in store for us for the "final" epi (I'm putting final into " " because who knows we might get a chance to see them together again?😉)

As you've said Sarun feel uncomfortable when it comes to romantic scenes but I trust them and the team, I'm sure they'll give us memorable moments to cherish. ❤️

Once again you've totally blew me away with your post! FLAWLESS! 👏

love, Maria

Hi Lin,

You bring that harmony back...trademark of yours... beautiful post.

When i heard of Jashn.. you/ your last post here 3 years ago is what came to my mind, made amidst all the enormous hue and cry that time. how that post said let barun/ sanaya explore their careers...and a couple of years down the road.. let lalit mohan come back with all his ken for the show/ asr/ khushi..let us all pack and do Iss Pyar Ko again! Yes that director's vision inescapable from the characters and the show esp. early on... that picture you posted post guest house close to many of us... a shot of the much in trance asr from behind an orchid pot near that french door...the aesthetics, the longing, the action and the direction... all of which made this love story exceptional and made us continue to be here after 3 years..

Lovely analogy to metafiction. Jashn can not possibly be an extension to the finesse and excellence that is IPK. But then, its hard to come close to that perfection, with the limited resources/ personnel allocated for Jashn. There needs to be a whole ambience, groove, creatives to resurrect/ recreate that.

We indeed are one lucky bunch that our much avid and abiding fandom made sure to turn the impossible to possible and this pyaar into a celebration!

Ok. I am lost for words. This is going to be word vomit in all probability but what the hell, right! This post is the most comprehensive, unbiased, reasonable take on IPK-Ek Jashn that I have come across.

Firstly, those pictures. Damn. I can see the story flash in my head when I look at them. And, it is finally really settling in that that story is drawing to a close. This is bittersweet. I am glad that it is ending because with that, there will no more meddling with the classic. But it is ending. Even though, perhaps, I'll always feel that in a Sapnon ki Duniya somewhere, Arnav & Khushi are still living it up, in their own way-bickering, loving, laughing & then some. What a show this has been. I think, a lot of people would agree that the show, as a story wasn't that different but there was some inexplicable magic that transcended all borders of age, geographical barriers, educational backgrounds, language. Something clicks. And, it just connects. IPK wasn't a show. It really is an experience. Sigh!

And, your post. Perfect. This is word bliss. I swear. If I didn't have truckloads to do, I'd be reading this again & then, again. You summed it all up. The writing, the direction, the acting, the issues with sequels. Everything. Everything. And, THANK YOU for pointing out that Utkarsha Naik struggled because I thought I was the only one who noticed her difficulty. I love her. She is terrific, but they all had the burden of 3yrs gap. Even the writers. Damn. I have been going on & on about bad writing but you might have actually made me get over it. It happens.

And, that last bit about the show, I hadn't thought it possible, but I had Goosebumps reading it because this show is so dear to me, not for any other reason but the simple fact that it was wholesome entertainment in the most positive manner for the most part, untouched by the usual tv drama negativity. Brilliant show & brilliant tribute.

I will look forward to your take on the last episode. I have a feeling, I'll cry reading it because your post moved me, it did. It reminded me of why I am here for a show which ended 3yrs ago. It isn't a bad hangover. There was something there, that inexplicable thing that holds me captive even today.

So, yes. I have fingers & toes crossed for a new show with the cast because they are brilliant & be it on screen or off screen, oh the feels...

But that is for later. Come Tuesday, it is a final goodbye to IPKKND. A show that did redefine Indian tv & the power of a vocal fandom in its own way.

IPK probably will always remain in some small way a part of most fans' lives, I think. Because Hamesha was a self fulfilling prophecy in some ways. The universe heard & whispered a yes, when the word was uttered in IPK, maybe.

Wonderful post. It has been days since anything inspired me to write so much. Brilliant!

But thank you for giving a beautiful thanks and appreciation for this beautiful piece of art.

Beautifully put aquiline.. its hard to copy perfection, specially if you can't feel what was originally felt by the creators and are only trying to mimc with a vague idea of what is expected of the show..

Thanks for the pictures.. was a trip down a warm glowing happy place in my heart.. and a special thank you for the pic where Barun is concentrating while Lalit Mohan explains something..

I want to say all those clich things...But the truth is I am just Speechless after reading your Post! 😛

Somehow You echoed everyone's thoughts and summed Every Damn things so perfectly and outstandingly wic left me to Awweee your analysis and compelled me to give you a standing ovation to your Post👏

After a long long time something really touched to the core of my Heart and at the same time Everything came rushing back in to my mind... All those Everlasting Beautiful Memories were flashing in my mind seeing the pictures you posted, their song sequences, Dialogues, their cute little LOVE-HATE & Nok-jhok moments...Everything!. Nostalgic attacked me and I'm feeling full of Bliss yet pain again.

I agree to each and every words of yours and really appreciate you for giving us such a brilliant Post, Thanks aton Dear!🤗

Keep rocking like this by giving outstanding Posts👍🏼

Well done👏

lovely post ⭐️ while i dont necessarily agree with everything u said i loved the way u beautifully showcased how amazing the original ipk was, is and will always be. u reminded me of all those amazing posts that this show used to inspire and that i would spend hours poring over trying to understand and analyse, hours that i'm never getting back 😆 but those days and this forum were so much fun, almost as enjoyable as watching the show was, and i'm sure many of those posts i lost myself in were urs so a heartfelt thank u 😃

i admit my expectations were so low for this jashan that i'm just happy with whatever we got. with barely two days of filming i was prepared for an extended promo and this is definitely more than a footnote of where r they now. nothing can match the magic of arhi for me but i'm happy they tried, whether for fans, business or clicks, and some if not all loops will get a closure. so i feel quite benevolent towards the jashan, not at all bitter, and i know i will even cherish some moments. even though it wasn't quite ipk for me it was still a believable version of Arnav and Khushi, and they got their blissfully sweet happy ever after so i get my joyful peace 😳

At first I did not want to comment...not because I did not like the post or anything, but because I felt that whatever I would say, won't be deserving of the magic you have woven in this magnificent post of yours. But later I realized that it would be unfair on my part to not let you know how much I loved your tribute. I am really bad with words but I will still try my best :P

Perfection is not flawlessness, it is what triumphs over the flaws and shines through them. IPK is not flawless, never was...but IPK is, was and always will be perfect. Despite of the shortcomings, IPK has made a special place in our hearts. Did those flaws manage to lessen our love for this show? Will it ever? No! This answer comes instantly to us, right? This just shows what a special place IPK has made in our heart...what it truly means to us. So why are we not happy now? Shouldn't we be celebrating this epilogue? How many people are this lucky? Does any other fandom possess this amount of power and control? You have made me realize that I actually don't give a damn about the sloppy writing or the struggling of the actors for a few brief periods of time. I am watching the EJ because I want to see IPK having an ideal closure, I want to enjoy every single moment of IPK, the only show that has managed to make me fall in love with itself. And that is what I am going to do for the last episode...enjoy IPK, enjoy Arshi...without bothering about the technicalities. I don't know how I will react, how I will feel after this Jashn is over. But I know for sure that I will enjoy it. I may be sad now that my favourite show will be over, this beautiful chapter will be closed forever. But then again, IPK is not an ordinary show...it's a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence. I doubt anyone's love for IPK would ever lessen. As you have said already...IPK will always be remembered and cherished.

I thank you for making such a phenomenal and exceptional post...really mean it! I can say, without a second thought, that I agree with you on every single thing you said. We really need to demonstrate this kind of spirit and optimism for the sake of this magical show's closure. I came across this beautiful quote quite recently: "You'll never find a rainbow if you're looking down" (Charlie Chaplin). Just like that, we won't be able to truly celebrate the last episode if we watch it with a critical and scrutinizing mindset. Thank you for making me realize that :)

Hoping that I didn't come across as a pakau and whatever I ranted, wasn't utter rubbish. As Archana di would call it my brahmastra...can I call you di? :P
