How JJKN gave ME a makeover! - Page 6

i dont remember when i started watching jjkn, i have surely missed lots of episodes, i was so disillusioned watching kekta ones,and was just ignoring all serials.but the day i saw perhaps some scenes of jjkn,i just got hooked for life, 😃 i think it was probably the newness of the whole story which caught my attn or perhaps the romantic angle which was bound to soon develop 😳 .dunno

but then began the war in my house, the control over remote, which i started fiercly possessing by 7 pm before the menfolk returned,it irritated my sibs so badly, i just refused to give coz they refused to change channels in time,they were like u can still watch repeat next day, but what if electricity fails ,i was all agony,(i knew i was being selfish)but i could not stand against them when cricket matches started , lost out on some episodes. 😭 and i did not know of if then.
the worst part was on purpose ,my family would wait upto 9.30 sharp before starting the family discussions,and that too in the same room tv is kept and at times apu speaks so low cant just understand, 😕 other thing which i noticed was they kept looking at my face ,saying her face is more expressionful then the actors 😳 (so could not pay attn to details,imagine someone looking at u,when a good romance is on in tv 😳 ),god then i refused to talk with them, poor things,stopped troubling me to a great extent. 😛
worst part was when phone comes around 9.30 ,and one of my friends did not take well to my i -will call u back-till date she acts offended.silly girl,but then what when superiors call,cant give any excuse nor the actual reason -lost out on very imp scenes due to this, and when visitors decide to visit at the same time, my family rule is tv should be shut off when there r visitors ,as a mark of respect so they know we r paying our full attn to them and inspite of telling she is jjkn addict they insist on talking to me about their serials for good 1 hr 😡not letting me at least watch the scene on mute,😭 those times i hated myself for not letting a second tv be bought with the excuse that we should all be watching together ,now my family wont listen 😆 they want the tv cable to be pulled off, fed up of my jjkn addiction.
and how many times i have made umpteem excuses so i dont have to go to native place coz there is no sony there.how may picnic trips i had cancelled so i dont miss a jjkn epi, not that they know till date the real reason 😳 ,but what to do, addiction saw me thinking, speaking only jjkn, and got the nickname jassi from my friends,every scene i analysed, and made my own stories over janda and manda in my silly head .and watched sony throughout the day to catch promos of jjkn. 😳

i identified with jassis hardwork, loyalty, love , her dad(mine is the same,over protective) and on flipside also the way she never confronted mallika and kept silent no matter how much she shouted at her inspite of being right.and her specs (i had one like that)and no make up,clumsiness,trusting all,fiercely protecting whom she loved etc. 😃
and with mona ,i saw a dif actor than the rest ,down to earth,she too like ghazals,music , she too is a papas girl, she went to parties with her parents, and i got an actress i atlast liked ,someone who is just putting in her best😛
i used to forget all my problems when i watched jjkn coz at that time certain things were happening in my life which only my little diary knows( like jassi i too maintain a dairy)and i never have been able to show my pains to anyone. 😭
there was a time i also thought jassi should marry purab and let mallika marry armaan, but when i had to face a similar situation inspite of not having any armaan,and having a horror horoscope😳, i could not say yes to the well matched proposal,and i realised why jassi should marry only armaan or remain unmarried till her heart says yes to any other person ,but that too will be only to make her family happy

i loved it coz it assured me that love and trust still exists in todays world, unlike kekta serials which showed again and again u cant trust a relation , one day u may find, u parents r not urs, u are someone else child or ur husband had or is having another girlfriend or wife, ur child will be taken away or misplaced or replaced , u cant trust the doctors, nurses, relatives, all who showed pos till now will anyone day become negative except female lead ,even their spouses should have exes,ur friends were plotting against u, ahem scenes shown exceeding the limits, rape cases never ending ,i can go on .....
jjkn stood beyond and over all these,it gave me immense relief from so many tensions that filled my head.
i wont say it gave me a makeover ,but it gave me solace, peace of mind, comfort ,relief ,u name it, u can say it was my escape route,something no books, no friend, no music ,nothing could give me, jjkn gave, and i remain indebted to it for life. 😃

sorry, if i bored you 😳 but i did edit a lot 😛

The story of Moni's addiction and then she will go into an essay so be prepared😊:

I was addicted to Kutumb(my sister got me hooked~don't ask😆)...So i was pretty much used to the 9:30pm slot😃😃..and then Kutumb ended---->i was very sad😭...I always wanted Pratham and Gauri to get married..and *SUPRISE* *SUPRISE* Gauri and Hiten did!!😃😃😃..like any other on-screen pairing at the time(heck, just because they acted together, they all got hitched around the same time!..wedding bloom was on🤢)<Spring-Summer 2004>..like Sai/Shakti(Saara Akaash), Varun/Rajeshwari(Astitiva...), Apu/Shilpa(Well, they haven't acted together but they are a telly-couple🤢)..Rakhshu😡😡😡..you SHOULDN'T have arranged for coffee, that fateful day in 2003🤢...SandA drank chai and fell in love🤢🤢🤢.

Anyhoo!😆...enough of discussing couples and their marriage habbits😕😆. After Kutumb, i became very lonely and sad because i missed the great pairing of Gauri/Hiten together😭...I'am not sure if Naam Gum Gaya cam on after Kutumb😕 on the 9:30pm slot, because i don't recall watching it😕. Anyways, i forgot about the 9:30pm slot, and went to bed early after that😃. Around November/December 2004, i remember one day coming downstairs for a midnight snack(okay 9:30pm isn't midnight😕..but it is if you've been sleeping since 5:00pm😃). My momma coincidentally had Sony on and it was 9:30pm...I remember entering the living-room and:

😆😆😆LMAO😆😆😆...that particular moment at this geeky girl with absolutely no fashion sense at all🤢..wavering this childish pink umbrella about😕😕..btw, whatever happend to that umbrella??😕😕😕...I sat laughing at her for like a full 5 mins😆..and i watching the rest 25 mins what was left of the show😃😃😃..and i enjoyed it😛😛😛. I remember seeing Maria and laughing at her poodle-perm😆 and Maria's boyfriend-later-on (sorry i've forgotten his name😕😕😕)..i remember laughing at his greasy-shabbir-aluwalhia-hair😆..and i thought "Yuckkkkkkkk🤢..someone needs a rub-a-dub-dub😳".

And then i saw this choua(mouse) named Armaan Sir------>i thought he was ugly, and needed to eat more as his cheekbones were reallllllly sticking out🤢. I then saw this snake that was accompanying him(Sorry, Mallika realllllllly reminded me of a snake in the early stages🤢🤢🤢)..and plus, her character turned out to be a coniving/scheming snake😡😡🤢.

But the character that stuck with me the most was that dude...i can't remember his name as well😕..but he was the one who had a full-grown beard🤢 and his hair was reallllllllly messed up all the time..and he has these huge glasses too(and no, i'am not talking about Nandu😆)..If anyone remembers his, of Maria's boyfriends name, plz let me know😃. I lubbed the office crew: Nazneen, Ruby mom(LOL i thought her name was Rubicon😆), Jassi, Maria, Maria's boyf, Bindiya and that dude who i just described above😆.

*LOL i'll never forget that night when i watched JJKN😃..that day the 25 mins that were left of the show..me and my sis laughed like mad on alll the characters😆..and compared them to some illustrations of some geeky French dudes of my sisters French text book😆😆😆.

Okay, enough of character discussion, i started watching this programme daily and the track that really got me hooked, was Jassi's engagement with Purab🤢..and then he left her😡. OMGGGG, i cried with Jassi that day😭..when she opened the letter and then Purab the idiot(@ that point) said how they don't fit together in society blah blah...🤢...I felt sooooooooo sorry for Jassi, and cursed that tyrant Purab 15411152.565 times!!😡..i mean she already had a low-self esteem as it was😒..and the guy left her!!...OMGGG i remember when she showed Armaan the letter in the cabin😳😳..and he tried to cheer Jazzy up😃😃😃..i thought "what a gentlemen😳"...and then a few months after HE plotted against her!!😡. Talk about a sick joke...🤢

2005 was da year for JJKN, JandA love and IFians addiction😃😃😃...JandA lurb has us hooked..😳😳😳. Oh the glory days of Tham Jaa😳...Apoorva and Mona were the perfect leading pair of tellyworld😳..they beat sujal-Kashish, Karan-Nandini, Kavya-Anjali, Mihir-Tulsi??, Prena-Bajaj.........and all the other screen-pairs by farrrrrrrrrrrr!😃. And SS was a good lidl girl😊..she didn't complain once..😛...She sat chup chap at home while hubby Apoorva came home after a nice day at work filming Tham Jaa with co-star Mona😳😳😳..nope😊...no shikayaat😃😃..but then again😉..do we know??😉. That reflected hugely on her actions as she started became hugely insecure and started chipkoofying of Apoorva everywhere they went😡..espesh. if Mona was there.

2005 was also the year, when Apu suddenly got so damn HOTTTTT!😳..and starlet Jassi baby got a makeover to suddenly transform into diva Mona!😃😃😃..and boy Apu couldn't stop gawping😲...For gawds sake!😡..I even took two stills of him <photo evidence> looking where he shouldn't be looking!😡..a la my previous threads...

And 2005 was the year of the KMH's👏..go LR's CJ, Brownie's Reggie, Mollie and that pschyo Devil😈<Angel🤢>..And how could we forget that day: 5th August 2005?🤢🤢..so many events happend on that Friday..but a shaadi wasn't one of them..that my friends, is the day we cursed the Sony camp the most🤬..and some of us praised Big B for saving them👏.

2005/2006, bid adieu to JJKN's finest characters: Raj, Mallika, Pari, Bindiya, Maria, Rhea, Raghav, CJ and Purab Mehra..but i'am sure there's loaaaaadz more that i haven't mentioned.

Thankyou friends, for reading this essay😃..about our addiction of indian televisons most-loved serial Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin!😃..its taken an hour to write this😭..plz read and comment!.

If it wasn't for IF so many great personalities wouldn't have come together to discuss these programmes that have become a part of our lives!😛😛😛...I have met some great people so far thanks to this journey embarked with IF so far...😳...

i also should add,that i too had to hear remarks like, chasmis, double battery, four eyes etc 😭 😭 even more stinging ones as i grew up, but i have yet to switch to lenses 😃
and sorry dears, i could not share my personal and prof problems, not coz i dont trust ,but coz i never have told a soul to date 😭
i end with a para from a famous ghazal by lata (which i love)and relate to to a great extent,

"dard se mera daaman bar de ya allah
fir chahe diwaana kar de ya allah
mein ne thumse chaand sitaare kab maange,
roshan dil, bedaag jigar de ya allah"

Welcome to JJKN Forum. Sorry, we cannot do much of your "KHATIRDAARI" because we are still in shock that JJKN has ended. If you had joined this forum last year, like most of us did, you could have treasured a GEM in your memories for years to come.

But anyways, something is better than nothing. We are still planning to keep this forum alive by doing some discussiions and fun games etc. So please continue visiting us.

Take care and love you,

Ditto , ditto!!

Isn't it a coincidence that we are all alike in some way??

My friends have been telling me to switch to contacts since the last 3 yars and when Jassi got her makeover i seriously thought about it.

I even have a pair of "free contact lenses" from bausch and Lomb that were distributed as promotion ofor Jassi's makeover. I haven't even opened them since then.

Mona came to Chandigarh when i was there, for the promotion; and iwth my usual luck i came to know about it only after she had left.

imma also pretty, remorseful wit the whole idea that i would scream at the t.v. and say JASSI U DUMMY!!! however now its not on so i hav to scream at another show!!!

i had been thinking shud i post this or not is it late or not but then i thought let this out of me thas why my post is late

nice topic what shud i write and where shud i begin i dont know
jjkn makeover for me i dont think that happend or mayb it did

i remember the promos comin for new show everyone sayin who is jassi and so much curiosity was there. at that time i had no idea it was inspired by blf and imagine my surprise when i saw jassi first time. that was me there chasmish with messy eyebrows ajeeb choti and idiotic giggle and the way she kept crashin into ppl and clumsy ways. that was me all the way

then when i saw billu papa further shock for me as his strict ways was just like my dad always protecting his daughters. and very conservative.

my dad also never wantd us gals to ever interact with guys and wud get real angry if any guy wud dare to talk to us also.

then armaan suri came on screen ye i also recognised him from pardes and said arre yeh to pardes wala hai and my god he looked so dashing and handsome and as i was followin jassi story it took me back in time to my first crush my boss which was in funny ways one sided.

i know one of my fav scene was some time after jessica bedi time when armaan still didnt know jessica was jassi and he had jassi with him in his car and jassi had trbl adjusting her seatbelt and armaan had to help her with that. and u wont belive same thing had happend with me and my boss though this fact i have shared with hansa only. i was with my boss in his car one day and i just simply cudnt put the seatbelt on and he had to help me with that and i was gone case. pity he never knew what i felt for him😆😆😆. when i saw the same thing in jassi i started laughing like crazy thinkin hey thas me

like jassi also i used to think i m in love with my boss but i guess it was just infatuation,the only difference in jassi story and mine is jassi got her armaan sir i didnt😛

the struggle jassi faced and the rebuke she used to get and wanted so much to fit into society fitted me so well that i thought i m goin thru all this myself.
one thing jassi had was never say die attitude which i admired and i learnt to fight back when i m right.

though the serial had its ups and downs it was the same case with me

i wanted jassi to win and fight for what is right and not be cowed down

i didnt like purab character much but he was her biggest support at the time armaan let her down but i changed my mind when he dumped jassi with one letter

as such there is no makeover for me though i wish i cud have had like jassi did then chashma gone and dress sense change wud come but im like her in other ways simple down to earth but bit naughty at times

one thing i know now that i was not the only one who went crazy after jassi and armaan and i came to forum and made so many friends who have become strong pillars for me and i know if i fall or if i make wrong move i wud be corrected.

i guess thas it that was my connection with jassi the chasmish simple gal jassi the adorable sweet jassi

the funny jassi

the clumsy jassi

the jassi i loved

and armaan is bonus😃😳

😆 CB actually you are right..billupapaji reminded me of my dad too....no late nights, no mingle mingle with guys, and at home i was queen victoria...kaheki victoria..itni sari pabandhi 😕 😭
