I have also watched ishqbaaz. But I didn't trust gulkhan post the exit of Vrushika from Ishqbaaz. It was heart breaking for me to watch Ishqbaaz then. I followed upto the 200 episodes only. My most favourite actor in that was Kunal who lived as Omkara. Later they killed the poetic side of Omkara which I didn't liked much. They made a spin off DBO and I expected some good story but to be honest I didn't liked it much. I like Shrenu but I didn't liked the version of Om with Gauri.
You know I never watched that show par ff ss is TS sab padhe bahut man laga kar padhe.
