Thabks Mods for making this post a sticky...and Buffie for suggesting it....

And thank you, all my IF-buddies, for posting your beautiful and heartwarming stories. I never thought there were so many people who had experiences similar to my own.
I know that it is unhealthy to be obsessed with anything. But as Sid said, different ppl have diff ways of coping; and JJKN was the one tonic that would take me away from all the troubles of the day and my own, at times unfulfilling life.

I don't know how i'll manage without this show. My lifeline is being taken away from me. 😭

I just want to tell you one thing--you guys have been a real support system. I don't think i would have been able to cope with tihs phase without knowing that there are people all over the globe who are feeling exactly the same way. I had not joined IF to make friends, i just wanted info about JJKN and get it over with. I used to think that ppl who make friends on the Net are losers who have no friends in the real world. But you all proved me wrong. Without realising it, i have become so attached to this group.

I just want one more thing from you--please, please stick around when the show ends. Let us cherish the memories and relive the best times. Don't let this show fade into oblivion. I want ppl to remember, even 10years later, that there was a show called Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahin that changed the face of indian TV--and the lives of its viewers.

I LOVE YOU ALL!! ❤️ DON'T YOU DARE LEAVE!! 🤗

And lol....some months back i was cleaning up and found my old glasses that i used to wear in class 10th. I was thinking of throwing them away...then i tried them on and VOILA!! There was Jassi standing in the mirror!! Now i've preserved those glasses and will cherish them for making me Jassi Jaisi!! 😳

It was wonderful assimilating everyone's experiences....for me, JJKN started off as a beautiful and encouraging journey of a girl whose only USP was her talent - of course, I thought the huge glasses, lose salwars with the crossed dupatta, bad hairstyle, and braces were a bit over-the-top; nonetheless, I understood the message....until her makeover, JJKN was inspiring and entertaining.

Unfortunately, post Jassi's makeover, I haven't found anything admirable about Jassi - there are multitude of instances, which totally defied her earlier convictions and the purpose of the story.....in addition, from an inspirational journey, it turned into a never-ending romantic saga, filled with boring melodrama....not very different from the usual!

To sum up, frankly, I am more relieved than sad that this serial is ending....I have shed my bucket of tears when Jassi changed her attitude and appearance more than a year ago - that was when I felt I had lost a friend...now, its just another serial that had to end some day!

"niether trusted him nor tried to understand him..."

On the contrary, I think Mallika trusted him too much, blindly - hence, she never could see his philandering ways and affairs with numerous girls behind her back....Jassi had an advantage of being with him most of the time, thus understanding his true colors 😊

No use pretending that Armaan was this great guy who wasn't trusted by his fiancee...he was a selfish, arrogant, egoisitic, lazy boss, and a dishonest lover whose secretary subtly, slowly, but surely changed his ways and stole his heart...!

thanks blyton for starting this beautiful post. I loved reading all of the experiences and stories..
yes, you all are right in saying that we all connect to JJKN. it is a wonderful medium. I am really sorry for not watching it from the beginning.
I started watching it sometime in the beginning of 2004 when I was expecting my second one. My mom told me about JJKN and she said she does not like to watch it as Jassi has a very weird look. So, that stmt. of my mom actually made me very curious and I wanted to see who Jassi is and how she looked. So, I watched one episode and then rest is history.
I loved Jassi and her character. Frankly speaking, the look did not appeal me but slowly I started liking it. It was like yes most of the middle class girls (kind of my generation) back in India are simple, studious, not bold type .... so I could connect myself with her. Her crush on her boss reminded me of my crush ..I laughed with her and cried with her. Her dreams to imagine Armaan loving her and she loving him reminded me of my dreams. there was so much in common between Jassi and me. I was badly hooked on to JJKN. After my delivery, I used to make sure that I am watching it no matter what. And I made my nanny hooked on to it too. So, we both used to sit and watch it and then discuss it.
But then after all the tracks (especially Raghav one), i lost interest. And one day of my friends asked me what's going on in JJKN. I said I don't know and then she told me about I-F and I joined in. Now I read Buffie's updates religiously. I don't watch the show anymore but just read the updates. But I am surely watching it tonight and tomorrow.

Will miss JJKN ... and buffie's updates ..and all of you.

Awe I read all the stories and it was so touchie...!

Well for me I was visiting my sis in california and that where I started watch jassi. I stayed there for 2 weeks and when I got home I had to get dish to watch the show. That was the time when there were promo for Purab was going to enter. His first look and man I loved him. I loved him more 'coz at that time Arman was such a mean casonova ....he was flirt and used to insult jassi along with mallika. I hated him like anything. And I used to petty but hate jassi for still loving him and crying chupke chupke. I can never relate myself to jassi as I am totally not like her. I never had glasses, braces, ugly looks or such things. I never required anyone to realize that I should love myself or boost my confidence. I have struggled and geathered confidence from my own experiences in life. I have sweet family like jassi, but I don't usually share my things with anyone that easiy so guess no one can know how sad I am so in short I cannot relate myself to jassi.

But then I loved Purab 'coz he was boosting jassi and they met in alibagh and despite of his wealth, looks (yes i like him), he is such a nice person by heart. Unlike Arman Suri who is so egoistic and ghamandi. I hate plp who think themself above someone just 'coz they are good looking, or wealthy, or educated or whatever.....so I got dish just to watch jassi and see purab. Then Purab left the show afte year or so and I also decided to get rid of dish 'coz i didn't get chance to watch tv anyways.... so then I was so hooked up with show that i wanted to know whats going on so found IF and used to read Daisy and Jammy's update. Daisy was arman fan and Jammy was supporting Purab and they both used to update that time and i was once again back to jassi. I was a silent read since long long time and once IF didn't let non-member read update thing i had to register to read updates and till then i am hooked up to jassi section. I stopped reading show in the middle and i dont watch videos anyways, 'coz to be frank I don't like the show anymore. I didn't enjoy show after Purab left jassi by giving note one fine day without any conversation..thanks to t&d i stopped watching show and lost interest. So i really don't care if jassi is on or off but I do care about this Jassi section on IF....i love to read your fights, your controversy, your debates, your humor, your love, your caring for each other and you all are JJKN for me 🤗 In the middle of all I forgot to mention one more person apart from Purab i love in this show..it's Nandu. I have a best friend who is like nandu and he has always been with me all my life. I can always relate to jassi and nandu's friendship 'coz i really have a friend like nandu who is cute and i can always count on him anytime of day anywhere.

I also want to thank you Blyton for posting this topic. JJKN to me is my world.
For a young girl aged 15\16 its life revolves around her parents, schoolmates and ofcourse books. But my life has spent sitting all alone in my study room or watching stupid TV shows (kekta ones). No one to talk or no one to share my emotions. Waiting all alone for my parents to return home from their respective jobs was so painful. I was always eager to tell them what i did the entire day, at school and about my new friends and subjects but normally they didn€™t have time for me.

It was 1st September when like dailies I say infront of the TV waiting for a star serial when unknowingly I pressed the remote button, which took me to SONY ENTERTAINMENT TELEVISION. My life changed at that very moment. I saw a plain, simple girl entering home demoralized and the wonderful part I found was that her parents continuously supported her with all very beautiful words, with the warmth with which bebe hugged her to soothe her lead me tears. As I had always dreamt of a family like that. i also wanted when I returned home from school my mum wud ask me how was the day, she would wipe the sweat and allow me to lay my head on her laps. These feelings were so precious but almost unknown to me.

Day in and day out i waited for the serial to begin. I found jassi so strong and so intellectual. I loved Armaan €"Jassi. I loved their boss- employee relationship. I started to make a dreamland where I had The KING AND QUEEN my Armaan-jassi. All alone I related them what I did the entire day. I started collecting their pics and waking late nights to catch the repeat telecast as well as the afternoon ones too. I felt that they spoke back to me. It was really heard to sleep at 3 :00 am and wake up at 6:00 am for early classes. Still i continued this habit as I cudnt leave without them. And one day JJKN changed my life.....

My parents came home too early from their work. I was almost baffled to see them at home when they arrived almost during midnight. I heard them talking about smth.. after ten minutes eavesdropping I cud only hear JASSI-ARMAAN. At ten as I sat in front of TV to catch my favourite serial JJKN to my surprise I found them joining me there. My dad for the first time asked me what the serial was about and I related them the story and my mum too joined in the chat. She actually asked me about my friends and even she remained awake with me till midnight to watch JJKN repeat.
It felt as if JJKN came as an angel to my lonely life and made it so beautiful. It changed my parents and yes it changed me. Jassi taught me to work hard, not to loose hope and yes to go on on and never to look back. And yes Armaan, how can I forget the love of life. i have almost changed my title for him.

I hope i haven€™t bored you with my history. This is what JJKN is to me. And now when it has only two episodes remaining I feel that my soul has departed from my body. Its not only a serial but a lot for that that. It had been with me both in my good days as well as bad. I love you JJKN, JANDA\MANDA and I shall keep on loving you till my last breath.

aww, these are really touching 😳 isn't it amazing how
meaningful one show can be? it reminds me of the book Fahrenheit
451
..the wife of the main character is so in love with this TV show, all
day she sits in the living room and watches what she refers to as her
"family" 😛


JJKN has also helped me in many ways..lekin me will tell my story in a few
days..unless you'd like me to blabber on about the burscheshaften and
the defenestration of prague 😕

a diablos! 😃
