One day, my frnds and I were talking abt the show and my professor also joined us. That was the shock of our lifes, our kadoos prof. and EBP. My dad isn't interested n my mom sees it frm time to time...

LOL...really interesting dear...I would get shocked too if one of my professors would be a ebp viewer as it changes a way you see them normal...they appear normal n human...no offence if anyone here is teacher or professor😉neways if all siblings watch one show together then it cuts out the remote war n brings peace into the house😆😆😆

Nice post. It's lovely to read how everyone got hooked to the show and that it appeals to a wider audience across all ages.

I watched season 1 but was not a massive fan as I caught it in the middle and left it when the story fell flat. Anyway, so saw the promo and was intrigued about a season 2 without the same leads. Never watched either Avi or Shrenu's previous shows, although I knew of both of them through SBS segments that they featured in, that I only half paid attention to as I didn't watch those shows so couldn't care less about them. No offense to CB fans but the name itself would have put me off from watching because of it's obvious association with saas-bahu drama.

Alas, I started watching EBP as a skeptical viewer as I didn't want it to be IPK redux, so initially I used to skim through Ashlok scenes as I felt they lacked chemistry but I got drawn in by NA-Anjali's chemistry instead. Then it was the scene in the dream rain sequence that convinced me Ashlok have potential too. The chemistry was there, it just needed the right director to bring it out so Waseem Sir is the reason I adore EBP today. Even when the story meanders, the main pull is the characters, the ensemble cast and the direction.

As for family members that watch with me. My mother is the reason I started watching Hindi serials because she hogs the TV so I begrudgingly got interested in them too. Our tastes differ but nowadays we watch the same ones. EBP strikes a chord with us because I joke with her that she was an Aastha in her youth and married an Niranjan, not a Shlok but NA. lol. Yep, my father had his dark male chauvinistic side in his youth too. He has changed somewhat as he has aged but the ego lives on.

first of all thank u dear...yeah it really is interesting to see n read everyones story on how they got to watch ebp...n to be honest I loved season 1coz of its own charm n arshi chemistry n all but other then than the show had nothing else to offer then romance..audiences now a days crave for a great story n in depth characters n romance in bits n pieces...I mean we all love ebp for aashlok n all but its incomplete without niranjan, anjali, carat, sojal n even kavya n rani...I mean for how many shows can you say about this we want to watch supporting actors scenes...I mean before I used to change scenes if they didn't feature romance between the leads but for ebp I never miss a frame in an episode of 22 minutes...post thumps up n smileys if anyone agrees😉😆😆

superb...👏👏 👏👏👏magic of ebp spreadg

this is my first ever serial and first time ever in any forum.

My mom watches a lot of serials and I always hated them due to lot of reasons ..lot of unnecessary drama, saas-bahu dramas, rona-dhona etc.,etc.,

This show is unique , it has that sizzling chemistry between leads (Avinash, Shrenu) which I have only found in movies. They are very natural. I love romance, suspense and this show has both in it. The rest of the ensemble cast are wonderful too..Geetanjali, Manish, Prachee, Sameer, Sheetal all are very natural actors and not just adorning the screens space ..and there is volcanic chemistry between Shlok-Kalinid, Shlok-Anjali, NA-Anjali...beautiful. On top it off the meticulous direction of Waseem. There is some drama in the show but that is bearable for me till now and it gels with the script so far.

They have raised the bar so high in the beginning that even a mediocre episode is not tolerated by us fans..I throw tantrums once in a while!! oh..I hated that Aditi fiasco..I hope they don't bring up such twists again. I have not watched it since the beginning ..one saturday I think it was repeat telecast at night I was browsing channels for a movie and saw this scene where Shlok holds Astha and says "tum keh kyu nahi deti tumhare dil mey kya hein.." and she doesn't budge..that's it I went back and saw all the epis online. And after that no looking back...I catch up epis early in the morning so that I dont have to wait till evening..so you can imagine.

As far who sees it ..my whole family sees it ..even my Mom,dad who is not upto the romantic movies types ..they too 😆..we talk about this on phone

well dear I m grateful to you to try n take efforts to share your experiences with us...I totally get u n share your dislike for SaaS bahu dramas n totally non sensical romances coz we have currently around 40 something shows on prime time n almost everyone of them have either SaaS bahu drama genre or romance with leaps happening n look alike daughters n I mean how idiotic is that but this show is tots different n I m not surprised if your entire family watches it coz it really is good n different😃😃

I would like share my first experience of EBP with all the viewers of EBP.

After returning from a religious trip to Shirdi in Dec2013, I was laid up with fever and took leave .I was casually changing channels on my television and guess what EBP on STAR PLUS did the magic and my life schedule started changing from then on I was and am still under the spell of EBP.I am from Chennai and my mother tongue is TAMIL.We usually watch Tamil Serials. As you all have first hand experience of this happening to you that once you get to taste of sweet or in this case of this show you crave for more and the same thing happened to me ,watching the retelecasts of EBP spellbound..

Then I told my cousin to see the serial as it is quite interesting.She also joined the crowd and guess what Her son too fell a prey.Then came my sister's turn.She was wondering for what reason I am frantically rushing to reach home from office before 05:55 pm and she also started seeing the serial EBP after I gave her the details of the story .Her children were astonished to know that their mom was watching a Hindi serial and that too a Romantic serial .Now Six of us watch this serial and discuss day to day scenes in the EBP.

I like the show so much that if some phone call or the door bell rings between 06:00 pm to 06:30 pm My blood pressure rises because I don't want any disturbance during my favourite show.My daily schedule has been thrown aside due to this addiction and I don't want to miss even a single moment of EBP.

If somebody descends on us unexpectedly around 5:40 pm I would be so upset and wishing they left before 6;00 and that doesn't happen be it a friend or a relative or an electrician/ plumber who has come to attend to a complaint . I am very happy to know from IF that 2 more persons from Tamilnadu are hooked to EBP.In short EBP has done wonders and casting a spell on us one by one and we have to acknowledge that enthrallment and No turning back for us from all the actors of this show especially Avinash and Shrenu for their wonderful performance .Keep rocking EBP

dear savi u have a very interesting story of getting hooked to ebp n also getting ur family addicted...n I know what u mean about guests n electrician or plumber decending down at 6-6:30 pm...its like u waana kill dem...I usually don't attend door bell n land line or mobile rings n also avoid to step out of the house unless its an emergency ie someone dying😃😉
