KaShppy 4th KaSh+Gang+DMG Anniversary everyone!!!

NOTE: The following is my point of view of DMG's story from Monday August 20th 2007 till Thursday May 29th 2008 as that was MY DMG. That time period was the real DMG. So if you did not like that time period then you may go ahead and read some other post.

Dill Mill Gayye. Monday August 20th 2007. This is the day that no DMG fan will ever forget for the remainder of their lives. This is the day when we were warmly welcomed into the lives of Armaan Malik, Riddhima Gupta, Anjali, Gupta, Sapna Shah, and Atul Joshi. The lives of the five interns that slowly soon integrated into ours. As each day passed by, we became more closer, more familiar with not only the characters but also the actors and actresses. We became friends and more. We fell in love.

We fell in love with Dr. Riddhima Gupta. From Riddhima's first scene we had already gotten an insight of not only what her personality was going to be like, but also of the show. We found out that Riddhima is actually a very sweet, conservative, determined girl. She has very high ambitions of becoming a highly respected doctor, just like her adoptive father Dr. Shashank Gupta. We also found out that Riddhima has a bit of an ego in her encounter with Armaan. She just couldn't let their basketball match's score to be equal. She had to have the victory. Her sweet relationship with her Nani, and sister was evident of her love towards them. At the hospital, she's polite towards her co-interns but when it comes to Dr. Armaan... we get to see a whole different side of her! In the beginning Riddhima is very naive when it came to the matter of the heart. Armaan had caught her attention and was about to succeed in winning her heart, until she found out about the bet. Unknown to her, Armaan had actually fallen in love with her and didn't even remember about the bet until Anjali mentioned it. From then on, Riddhima became cautious about relationships; especially with Armaan. This caution reached new heights when she found out that Armaan had hid the fact about her being adopted. Although Armaan was able to win her heart again, secretly she had harbored some doubts towards him. And those doubts just added to fuel to listening to Rahul's instigative words about Armaan during his casanova college days. When she found out about Armaan and Muskaan, she instinctively believed Rahul. She fought with Armaan which eventually led to their break-up. After their break-up, Armaan and Riddhima never did get the chance to get back together. Yes, they had some close romantic moments, some funny moments, but never the one moment that would have brought them back together. On Thursday May 29th 2008, the Riddhima that Armaan had fallen in love with had left without saying a good-bye.

We fell in love with Anjali Gupta. Anjali is very ambitious. She had made her point clear from the very beginning; she wants to be one of Sanjeevani's top doctors. Although she doesn't show it all the time, she loves her family alot. In the beginning episodes Anjali was seen to be rude towards Riddhima but during the Dandiya episodes we found out that she really does care for as she was the one who had asked Armaan to drop the bet. Anjali pays a lot of attention in her reputation. She believes that because her dad, Dr. Shashank Gupta, is a highly esteemed doctor, she has to become something that will be equivalent towards it. She always had pride of being called Dr. Shashank Gupta's daughter. When she had heard a rumour of her being adopted, she completely broke. She was scared of losing the identity that she had always assosciated herself with for her whole life. But when she found out that Riddhima was adopted, she was relieved. But at one point, when Riddhima mentioned being with her mother, Padma, Anjali was worried. She was worried of the fact that Riddhima might start forgetting them and be more closer to her mother. When trouble arrived for Anjali, she knew that she could count on her younger sister for help. After having Riddhima take the blame for the Propanol case, Anjali changed her attitude towards Riddhima and became more softer towards her. The only thing that she did mantain is her distance from Atul, she melted towards him too.

We fell in love with Sapna Shah. Sapna is a very sweet girl who is constanly trying to get her mother to stop finding grooms for her. Just like any girl in their twenties, her mother started parading her with photos, but she didn't let that stop her. She went on with her internship and become a really good friend towards Riddhima and Atul. She is hard-working and caring towards her patients and peers. Although she was infatuated with her senior doctor Shubankar, she eventually fell in love with a patient named Amit. And that had led to us having the best wedding of DMG's history. Unfortunately, Sapna left us after that, but she did leave behind some very memorable and sweet memories.

We fell in love with Atul Joshi. Atul made a spot in our hearts by his cute looks and sweet smile. His environmentalist actions made us more aware of our surroundings and also helped us be informed. The songs that he will serenade towards Anjali will forever be memorable. His friendship with Armaan is just exemplary! The way they will help each other out when in trouble, or the blackmailing they will do to get their own way, just made us fall in love with them even more. Although Atul may seem to be a bit shy and is always in the need of help for personal relationships, when it comes to fulfilling friendships, Atul is always the first one to give a helping hand. He will do anything in his power to make your problems go away and will always keep you laughing with his silly but cute and adorable antics.

The story of DMG had started off with these five interns, but later on in the story came Rahul Grewal and Muskaan Chadda.

Rahul Grewal, from Armaan's introduction, was a complete nerd. He had his shirt tucked in his pants, wore a bow tie and big square glasses. With that combination, no wonder he wasn't able to get the company of a girl. But when Rahul entered Sanjeevani, he had shed the bow tie and glasses, and became a stylish young man. Rahul and Armaan had competiiton between each other from college days and those competitions had seemed to carry on throughout the internship. Rahul to get even with Armaan stealing his crush Sonia, would flirt with Riddhima and had even instigated her against Armaan. Despite all this, Rahul was one of Armaan's closest friends along with Atul. These three would always help each other out in times of trouble, and would create riots when together. Their friendship was a role model to all DMG fans and it was their friendship alongside Armaan and Riddhima's love that kept the story moving.

And now, last but definetely not least, Muskaan Chadda. Muskaan's fights with Rahul are what made our stomachs hurt from laughing so hard. Muskaan had no experience with the heart, so when it came to loving Armaan, she had no control. She was broken when she found out that he loved Riddhima and had gone to Rahul for consolation. Although Muskaan had a big hand in taking Armaan with her to her hometown, she had no intention of doing that. If she had known about Armaan and Riddhima's relationship, then she wouldn't have asked him to go with her. Yes, Muskaan is a vivacious, bubbly, loud-spoken, frank Punjabi girl; but we love her nonetheless.

We fell in love with DMG for bringing these characters to life and creating magic. DMG has taught us many things. It taught us what true friendship looks like and what true love feels like. It has made many of us more optimistic, more caring, more ambitious and more loving. DMG has connected many people from all around the globe. People who can't even understand the language admire and respect them. DMG is truly an inspiration for all the new directors and the new ccreatives out there.

I just want to take this time out to thank Prem Krishen and Sunil Mehta for producing this show. I would like to thank Sonu Nigam and Prajakta Shukre for singing the very loving DMG title song. I would also like to say a very humble thank you to Nissar Parvej for directing this show and making it so important to us. And last but not least, I would like to say thank you to the actors themselves for portraying these beautiful characters and bringing them to life.

Thank you to:

Karan Singh Grover for playing the role of our eternal aashiq Dr. Armaan Malik.

Shilpa Anand for starting and bringing out the true character of Dr. Riddhima Gupta.

Sunaina Gulia for being the strong, independent and ambitious Dr. Anjali Gupta.

Muskaan Mehani for being the sweet, next-to-door Dr. Sapna Shah that we all good relate with.

Mayank Anand for making us hate Dr. Rahul Grewal in the beginning but leaving us no choice but to fall in love with him later on.

Drashti Dhami for being the loud and crazy Dr. Muskaan Chadda and teaching us the true definition of being hyper.

And last but not least thank you to EVERYONE who had ever had the chance of making DMG reach its height of success as it did till now. And thank YOU, my fellow readers for giving DMG a chance.

Though I had always been an AR fan at heart (I enjoyed kasu and kajen periods of AR too and liked them all for different reasons) I loved Arsh too.. and that was when I realized the power of KaSh.. because next to them, no other pair could capture my attention on screen.. No matter how much I loved AR.. 😳

Thank you Karan Singh Grover for being the enternal Armaan Malik, thank you Sukriti Khandelpal for giving KaSh such a cute, refreshing feel and thank you Jennifer Winget for being the most amazing actress ever.. But most of all, thank you Shilpa Anand for making a comeback and thank you CVS (Though I truly detested you during the end of DMG) for giving us DMG! :D

Cheers 😃
