Looking good

"Iss" has some kinda effect but not the rest of PKKND... did you mean for it to be that way?

Also there are a couple of white lines visible when we use dark mode on IF... so either you will have to make them transparent or add a white bg to the whole thing...

Brief Story

06th June 2011 had made us embark on special journey of a clash of contrasting worlds called 'Iss Pyaar Ko Kyaa Naam Doon?'

Millions of people worldwide watched the Saga of Khushi Kumari Gupta and her Barfi Ka Tukda.

The first episode introduces us to Khushi in Lucknow, a simple, sweet young woman deeply rooted in family and tradition, preparing for a local festival. She's clumsy but endearing.

Meanwhile, in Delhi, Arnav Singh Raizada, a ruthless and arrogant business tycoon known for his cold demeanor and sharp intellect, efficiently takes down a rival company.

Their worlds collide dramatically. Khushi accidentally disrupts one of Arnav's fashion shows, she falls straight into Arnav's awaiting arms leading Arnav to misunderstand her intentions and believe she is trying to sabotage him. He creates rumours of a false affair brewing between them, inclined to ruin her reputation. This put the Guptas in a situation where they are left with no choice but to move away to Delhi.

Despite this terrible first meeting, fate keeps bringing them together. Khushi eventually starts working at AR Designs, Arnav's company. Their professional interaction leads to constant clashes, witty banter, arguments, and moments of reluctant attraction and curiosity. Khushi finds Arnav rude and insensitive, while Arnav is intrigued and sometimes annoyed by Khushi's traditional ways and optimism. ASR does all he could do in his power to throw this low-status girl out. He decides to make her life hell as a punishment for making his heart starting to beat for her. One after the other his given tasks tries to make her life miserable but in return, he starts falling for her more each day.

And after a series of misunderstandings, Khushi finds herself hired by Anjali, Arnav's elder sister as an ethics instructor for his then girlfriend, Lavanya Kashyap. Lavanya, a dusky beauty, loved ASR dearly and hence embarks on the journey to woo his Grandmother with the help of her aid Chamkili i.e Khushi.

With much of her time being spent in proximity with the Raizada family, hatred soon begins to turn into attraction between Khushi and Arnav. Their proximity becomes inevitable and on Diwali, he dresses her with her own anklet with all the respect and honor of this world. Both get lost in each other.

Trying to ignore his feelings for Khushi, Arnav announces his engagement to Lavanya. Not to forget, ASR doesn't believe in the institution of marriage. Heartbroken, Khushi gets engaged to a paying guest living with them under her family pressure. It turns out that the paying guest is in actual Shyam Manohar Jha, Arnav's brother-in-law, who is already married and has been deceiving Khushi, her family and the Raizadas.

When Khushi is asked to organize Lavanya & Arnav's engagement party, a series of events leads Lavanya to realise that Arnav is in love with Khushi. Lavanya gracefully back out for good.

But these confused mates are still at the loggerheads. However, things mellows down when Khushi's sister Payal engages in a relation with Arnav;s brother Aakash. The two families are now officially related. Circumstances changes, so does Khushi and Arnav's feelings.

Meanwhile, the Guptas learn that Shyam is the son-in-law of the Raizada family & kick him out of their house. To save Payal's wedding life, they decide to keep it from the Raizada's. The wedding preparations help in bringing the Arnav and Khushi closer as they explore the hidden emotions within their hearts. Love is just beginning to flourish but Arnav's foreign returned brother, NandKishore brings the jealousy within Arnav to surface. Though they get affected by each other's presence and absence, neither of them is ready to accept their attraction for each other.

Arnav starts wooing Khushi and plays along with shy and feisty Khushi with his soft yet naughty gestures. He kisses her on the poolside followed by Payash sangeet where he dances with her in front of everyone.

When Arnav decides to confess his love for Khushi, he heads towards the terrace where he sees Shyam hugging and declaring his love to Khushi and she lashes out with rage asking him to leave Anjali. This triggers Arnav's deepest fears and past pain – he believes Khushi is having an affair with his sister's husband. Arnav misunderstands and that takes a new turn in their journey.

Arnav wants to tell his sister the truth but fate plays another game and he finds out she is pregnant. This makes him take an extreme step in anger - a contract marriage for 6 months in hatred so as to protect his sister's marriage. He blackmails Khushi, threatening to ruin her sister Payal's upcoming marriage to Akash if she doesn't agree. Khushi, devastated and heartbroken by Arnav's cruelty but needing to save her family's honor and her sister's happiness, reluctantly agrees. The wedding is done, tears are shed, yet Khushi is blamed by Arnav for every single deed. Khushi, being the fighter she is, pushes away her feelings for him and starts facing him bravely.

Living under the same roof in a forced marriage intensifies their relationship. Despite the initial hostility, their stark differences and constant proximity lead to a complex dynamic. They share intense moments – passionate arguments, undeniable chemistry, accidental touches, and glimpses of vulnerability behind their facades. They slowly begin to see the real person beneath the surface. Arnav starts respecting Khushi's values and resilience, and Khushi begins to understand the pain hidden behind Arnav's arrogance.

Khushi wins everyone's heart during Holi. A beautiful confession and lovely gesture from her bring tears to mighty ASR's eyes. His one side always believes her but her intoxicated state still keeps him wondering but he softens more towards her.He partially confesses during Heer Ranjha act but his rage peeks in after seeing Shyam in this picture again. Arnav is shocked and disgusted to see Khushi behave so innocently; while Khushi is shocked and disgusted to see Arnav become a monster.

Khushi's love for Arnav crosses a new limit and she decides to commit suicide for his happiness but how can he let that happen when she is the reason for his own survival.He discloses his reasons for marrying her which leaves her devastated.She tried her best to clear her name but he leaves for London hanging her in the middle. One thing she made him clear again after Holi that she really loves him, "It matters because it concerns with you" which made him turn around for her but he gets kidnapped.

Khushi follows her intuition of seeing Arnav in danger, seeks help from NK and mami goes in search of Arnav. She finds trails after trails which takes her right into Arnav’s arms. They both escape and find a hut where they spend some intimate moments but goons find them and Arnav takes the plunge for her safety and hands himself over the goons.

Khushi then connects the dots and realises that the kidnapper is none other than Shyam. She puts her life on the line to save Arnav and they unite. After coming back, they reveal Shyam's true face. Arnav admits Khushi to be one of the most important persons in his life. He throws Shyam out of the house without any immediate legal action. Anjali is in disbelief and in a state of shock, the entire family is in despair.

Arnav then wants to take their relationship to the next level but Khushi backs down saying that their marriage is an incomplete act. As a reply he declares his love to her loud and clear - "I love you Dammit!" which she wanted to hear all along. Khushi's confession – “Hum bhi aapse I love you dammit,” brings the true joy in him when he needed the most as her assurance. He declared to marry her once and for all according to the rituals.

With remarriage in cards, for officially making Khushi as Khushi Arnav Singh Raizada for eternity, Arnav paved way for beautiful life with Khushi.

In between the rituals, they share the most beautiful and intimate moments but fate still has so much store in it. Shyam gets his final success but at the high price by killing his own child. Khushi brings him back for sake of Anjali enraging Arnav. It becomes the reason of the fight in between them Arnav completely becomes an open book for her by taking her to his mother’s garden where no one else ever stepped before. He declares her his wife and his Mother's Daughter in Law.

But on the eve of the wedding, Arnav’s Dadi reveals that Khushi's aunt, Garima had an affair with Arnav's father. Arnav is heartbroken. The love, the joy, the anticipation - it all curdled into a burning pain.

The woman he loved more than his life, the woman he was just moments away from marrying, was now revealed to be linked with his traumatic past, in the ugliest way possible.

But then, she is the woman who has brought colour to his monochrome existence. The woman whose smile was his sunshine, whose tears tore his soul. He loved her. And nothing, absolutely nothing, from the past or the present, could diminish that truth.

He decides to choose love over pain, future over the past, Khushi over everything else. He embraces Khushi, declaring that he loves her and wants to marry her. He shocks everyone with the dawning realization that Arnav Singh Raizada, the man who built walls, had just torn down the biggest one of all for the woman he loved. The wedding happens. Love, against all odds, wins.

On the wedding night, Arnav discovers a hidden camera in their room and uncovers that Shyam has been spying on them. They expose him to Anjali on their wedding anniversary and hand him to the police.

Raizada household is once again happy and content. But here enters Sheetal, Arnav's ex girlfriend along with a child - Aarav. She tries to trick the family trying to prove that she has a son with Arnav. But Arnav successfully exposes her as a gold digger and gets her arrested. Feeling love and care for the child, Arnav and Khushi decide to adopt Aarav. Then Khushi enters the Mrs. India competition and Arnav becomes her silent pillar her at each step. She finally wins the contest because of her true self, and determination with the support of her family.

The show explores the complexities of love born from animosity, proving that even the most opposite of souls can find solace and completeness in each other. It is a story of redemption, forgiveness, and the power of love that defied societal expectations and personal demons. And we still do not have answers to the love we have for the show even after 14 years (and still counting), Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon?

Here's a sample of character siggy with the chosen color theme.

This is so beautiful Katelyn 😍 😍

I feel you should make all the siggies 🤭 our siggies will be looking so dull in front of yours

1.

Arnav Singh Raizada — The Man Who Redefined Intensity

From the very first glare to the softest gaze, Arnav Singh Raizada wasn’t just a character, he was an era. His sharp suits, sharper tongue, and that smouldering intensity made him unforgettable. But beneath that ruthless business tycoon exterior was a man with a heart that only beat for her — Khushi Kumari Gupta.

He wasn’t the typical hero. He didn’t believe in love, or fairy tales. But when love hit him, it hit hard — shaking the very foundation of his beliefs.

"Kyun farak padta hai Khushi Kumari Gupta?"

Because she was the chaos to his control, the colour to his grayscale world.

Arnav’s journey was raw and real. A man who broke and healed, who loved fiercely but silently, who chose her over everything — every single time.

"Main tumse itna pyaar karta hoon ki main khud se bhi nafrat karne laga hoon."

This wasn’t just a confession; it was a culmination of every glance, every tension-filled silence, every accidental touch.

Even in his most broken moments, he stood tall — not as ASR, but as a man who finally learned that being vulnerable isn’t weakness.

Today, years later, Arnav remains etched in our hearts not just for the iconic "What the", the poolside brooding, or the flying dupattas — but for the way he loved.

Because in the world of Indian television, there was, is, and will always be only one ASR.

2.

Anjali Singh Raizada — A Heart That Kept Beating Even After It Broke

If Arnav was the fire in Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon, Anjali was the light — soft, gentle, but unwavering.

She loved deeply, trusted completely, and gave endlessly even when life gave her every reason not to. Wrapped in a red dupatta, with a soft smile and hopeful eyes, she was the one who brought peace to the chaos of Shantivan. A sister, a daughter, a wife — but most of all, a woman who believed that love could heal everything.

"Jab tak mere Chhote khush hain, tab tak main khush hoon."

To the world, she was delicate. To Arnav, she was sacred. She raised him like a son, protected him like a mother, and stood by him like a friend.

And yet, behind her warmth was a woman silently breaking — piece by piece. Lied to. Betrayed. Shattered. But not once did she let her pain steal her grace. She wept behind closed doors but walked out with strength in her spine and love in her heart.

When her world crumbled, she didn’t scream. She folded her hands, bowed her head, and prayed harder. Anjali didn’t need to be loud to be powerful. Her silence echoed louder than words.

She was the embodiment of forgiveness — perhaps too forgiving, but never bitter. She taught us that vulnerability is not weakness. That tears don’t mean defeat. That even a broken heart can keep beating — for others.

Anjali wasn’t just Arnav’s sister. She was his shield. His conscience. His home.

Years may pass, but her character still lingers a reminder that quiet strength is the loudest kind.

Great job on the siggies. Be sure they are 500 x 250.
