Thanks @Savera84 for listing these statistics! You guys are doing a phenomenal job all of you to revive this forum <3 I agree that our IPKKND is a classic show & just like we keep on discussing a classic work of art or literature, various aspects of Arshi / IPKKND too will be discussed and debated by its viewers, fans for many more years from different / newer perspectives. IPKKND, Arnav Khushi will continue to intrigue us forever. Just when we think we have said or read almost everything on it, some fresh perspective may spring up! Quite a few details which we might not have noticed even after watching IPKKND umpteen times, we may start noticing & discussing in this forum. For example, here @ssttuuttii pointed out that the woman who had played Manju (in the AR Canteen) had also played the role of other background actors in the same show. I did not mark that earlier! Though we all knew that many side actors may play different roles in the same show - for example, the girl who was playing the role of a reporter in the fashion show in Episode 1 was also there in the last episode when Khushi was participating in the Mrs. India Contest. This way we can keep on discovering & re-discovering so many old and new things! Moreover, I have come across many new viewers too on other platforms who watched IPKKND for the first time in 2018 on Star Utsav (re-run of Rabba Ve on Star Utsav). They are there on Instagram & some may be on twitter or Facebook or Wattpad! Those new fans too may have many things to say now. Besides, during the lockdown I have seen many people binge watching original IPKKND on hotstar & many of them regularly used to update on twitter their takes on each of the episodes or scenes while they were binge watching! All of them can be encouraged to participate here. If there is a Facebook page & twitter account & Instagram account totally dedicated to promoting this IPKKND Forum, many new & old fans can join in. When IPKKND can be still discussed on other online platforms then why not continue the discussions here too? Let our love for IPKKND Arshi live forever, hamesha 😊❤️

• Garima and Payal's actual relationship - I found out about it only a year ago, when a reader raised this question. I searched IPK forum, Google and written updates in various blogs with a fine tooth-comb to unearth the truth. I felt like I won a medal at the end of it.
• Why Anjali limps? She was fine when her uncle kicked them form Sheesh Mahal
• Why and when Anjali permanently moved to Shantivan? - They had a place in Greater Kailash
• Why Arnav deposits money into joint account? - He already deposits money into Anjali's personal account. What is the need to create a joint account and deposit money into it, when Shyam was shown as hard working lawyer?
• Exactly how did Manohar marry Manorama

Cheers.....

@ Savera Thank you for posting these statistics. We really needed them to get some clarity on what we need to aim for. So thanks for all the efforts you have taken to go through the forum pages and get this data. ⭐️

@ HerFiction I understand what you're saying but here's my PoV.

Yes, everything has been said and discussed already, so why to go around rehashing the same things over and over again? Infact, this is the reason I decided to drop out on writing a simple Written update in my episode analysis and will instead link the older one itself. But I think (and hope) that the character analysis was never done in this manner for every episode. So we do have something new there too.

About discussing the same topics again, I think that is inevitable - we know it is going to happen. But then, the people we are discussing it with are new aren't they? And we ourselves have changed over the years - Now I don't have the same view for some of the things in the show as I did back when it was airing. I've changed, my perspective has changed too. And the people and atmosphere has changed - now we have a much more stable and mature fandom as compared to the passionate but volatile one of the olden days.

Apart from this, there are things that I notice when rewatching even though I've seen the episodes so many times before. And few of the observations came from reading others' posts while I had missed them completely

Eg. Did you know that the lady who plays the canteen wali aunty in the office track has played 2-3 different background roles in the entire show. This was a slightly funny but very keen observation I found by reading someone's post. Even after watching so many times, I hadn't noticed this!

So I believe there will always be something new to discover, something new to discuss and a new point of view to hear. That is why some books / movies / shows are considered classics, right? Because they inspire passionate discussions even years after they have ended.

And there will always be new edits, VMs and stories coming up. You're right, there are other platforms for them so why do we need the forum? Well, which is why we've requested for volunteers to act as mediators between the different platforms - read it in the third post here.

Because IPK fans are many even today. But they are spread out over so many different platforms that it's difficult to track things going on everywhere.

Eg. I read a color analysis post by ItsRain now but she has mentioned that it was posted on her Tumblr earlier. I would have missed out on such a good post if it hadn't been reposted over here currently.

So what we need is a central base - which IF can act as - so that activities going on everywhere can be synced together. And we don't miss out on wonderful posts by people just because we don't use that particular social media / don't follow that specific person. By integrating things, we will be able to access everything related to IPK - old and new, whichever platform it is posted on, and by whomever it is done.

I know this won't be an easy job but I'm willing to put in my efforts for this. And I believe that together we all can do this. I truly hope you can see things from this perspective and continue being a part of this ❤️.

Love,

Stuti

I agree I see a lot of discussion and fun stuff on other platforms.

I joined in Nov 2012 so I missed discussing the show here. I think now things are better.

If we come here daily putting our thoughts don't much time. I think if we are reading Arshi ff we are still into them and imagining them into different scenarios.

Also I don't visit other forums are all other inactive forums shutting down?

This forum is closing ?? I am bit confused. Ples someone reply to me with a NO !

Yes 👍🏼 all these questions & many more!

Hi everyone,

I mentioned in the First Post on page 1 that we posted 21 pages of new topics between September 2019 and September 2020.

Guess How many pages of new topics we posted since September 2020?

Little less than 14 pages!!!!

That is correct. In the last 3.5 months we posted 14 pages of topics. May be a handful of them were created earlier, but majority of them were new topics.

Good work everyone.👏👏👏

Keep it going if you want this corner alive.

Every single topic counts, every single comment counts and every single like encourages the topic makers.

Cheers....

Thank you for the new update on stats. More importantly, the recent threads have deviated from being only FFs 😊.

We are going good and need to maintain the momentum 😳.

New Statistics

We posted close to 20 pages of new topics in the last 6 months. Even if we take out a handful of topics which were created earlier, this is a big improvement.👏

Just for information, in the previous year, in the whole year we posted 21 pages of new topics.

We are doing well.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to this goal.

We need to just maintain these numbers. Any contribution is welcome.

Keep it going fellow IPKians.

Cheers....

I don't know how this forum during show on air. I join forum September 2020 during Arshi Remarriage event. Before I don't know about IF.
