JJKN was the first show I really watched... I'm a complete book-a-holic and indian shows... weren't so much my thing. I mean I'd watch the occasional kkusum... the occasional kutumb... but that was it. I was watching sony, saw a promo and thought: hmm interesting... little did I know how much it would impact my life. It caught my interest immediately... my eyes were glued to the TV... I'd look forward to it every night...
To put it simply: I was addicted. 😆

I think we all have a little bit of Jassi inside of us... she's someone we can relate to... someone we can laugh with... cry with...
I had my own share of problems... problems that I thought no one else had... Jassi proved me wrong. I saw myself in her. I used to dream for a makeover (nope still haven't gotten one! 😆 ) like overnight I'd become beautiful and actually fit in at whatever town life took me to next.

Jassi became my best friend during the times when I had none... the dark times of my life when everyone had turned their backs on me and I felt as though I was battling the world alone.. all those nights I cried myself to sleep... Jassi kept me hanging on. That show was the one light in my life... the one CONSTANT in my life. Most of the time, I didn't even have the channel! Every week I'd call my aunt and ask for an update... Silly, I know... but what can I say?It's pretty pathetic, I admit, but hey! That's just the way things were...

It sounds cliche, but JJN taught me, my young teenage self, that beauty is not what you see... it's what you feel, it's how you think, it's how you are... and ultimately, beauty that is skin-deep does not matter at all.

The old Jassi shared my frustrations, my sadness, my happiness.. my innocence... and when she became the new Jassi, she was someone I admired... I wish I can be as confident as she is!

And of course, there's IF... my wonderful IF family! How I wish I had discovered this forum in the summer when JJKN was at its peak! Granted, I don't know many of you well... Still, I feel like I belong here... that I have a place here. I've made life long friends... had tons of special moments that I will never forget. 🤗
And JJKN is what got me all of this... a show... an Indian soap! 😆
Thank you JJKN!!! I will never forget... 😭

Sorry if I bored you guys... 😳

Woww...how did I miss this thread😕...Very sweet topic bly, and its amazing to see how so many lives are touched by Jassi...Oh how I wish any JJKN related people would read this thread....

Prior 2005, I always heard about a popular tv serial called Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahin but never really had the chance to watch it...Mainly because we never had sony channel to begin with. So in march 2005, we finally subscibed to dish and obviously I started watching ALOTTTTTT of tv serials😆...I remember the first ever episode/scene of JJKN I watched was when Purab was yelling at that model for being so bitchy toward Jassi...and so basically I started watching the show when everyone started hating the show😆

Initially the show didn't have much affect on me...it was just an average show to me. May 2005, I was going thru a very tough phase in my life. First, I got fired from my job...Never in a million year, I ever imagine myself being fired from anywhere, considering in my previous two jobs I was there for the longest times and was liked very much by everyone...My somewhat boss who very gently laid the news to me was very racist and simply didn't like me, which led her into getting rid of me...Right after my feeling like a pathetic loser after my job dilemma, the second tortured began...I started getting very sick...I was so sick that I was entirely dependent on my parents and my sister for everything starting from running to the hospital to feeding every meal to pushing me in a wheel chair...I canceled my up north summer trip and was strictly directed to be in bed rest the entire summer

While lying on my bed for the entire summer physically and mentally tormented, I only depended on Jassi...The way Jassi was tormented in life of being without her family and her love, the way she was so volunerable, the way she still didn't give up gave me real hope. Then the Amritsar romance began...Haila, that just totally completed my circle of insanity of being a JJKN freak😆...Armaan's hair😳, Armaans love toward Jassi, the whole ddlj vibe, the tu meri song...made me forgive Rajeev (aka Apurva) and made me fall in love with Armaan Sir😳...

To top everything of, seeing Mona Singh's acting as Jassi just blew me away...She was/is simply brilliant and could bring unknown tears in your eyes feeling Jassi's pain😭...Instantly without knowing Jassi's background, or her previous story I became one of the biggest Tree Huggie EVER😳😆

Around July, I wiped the dirt away from me and start looking for my job again. I even thought about suing the bas***d who fired me first, but then realized that I don't have to prove anything to anyone but myself. I did just that and soon enough, I ended up getting a job 1000 times better than the previous one.

I am a very career oriented person and thats one of the main reason Jassi is so close to my heart. Her dedication to be the best, her dedication of never ever giving up, and her attitude toward life (except for the running away part😳)...gives me hope. Jassi gave me hope and strengh. It helped me go thru a tough time in life. Jassi aka Mona would always remain very special to me. Now you see, why I am so protective toward her character😳😆

Such mei...Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahin👏 and there never will be one...

Thanks for reading my experience. In fact I am not really brave, I am still very loose tempered, when I take problems in my hands and think:"Why only I have to go through tough times?" but when I depends on my Lord Krishna, and throw everything in front of HIM, HE put everything in place in no time and I don't even feel it.
