@Fairy...😆..oh how i hate u (u know me kidding)...coz u make real hard core sense.😉..yes...things are gonna change...we have to accept it...the sooner ..the better for us. You know what hurts though...that things changed so quickly..see all shows die down eventually...they lose their flavor ..but its an elongated gradual process, months long and I was prepared coz nothing lasts forever...but here...its not even a year yet..they have tons of angles yet to explore...ends to tie...we are nowhere near the end...they have not run out of juice yet...plenty of story left to be told...but this show is dying a premature death and that too for totally different reasons...(hope they manage to pull though this)...

Hmm..who moved my cheese huh...have to say what a cheesy comparision (i loved that book too 😆)...but hey i come here to be totally unreasonable...i watch this show to escape reality..practicality...this is my 20 minutes of madness...gosh now i'll have to use logic here too..change happens..philosophically accept it..its good...😭...no...i dont want to be real or practical here...its like snatching a popsicle out of a hot and thirsty child's hand...bwah...bwah...😆

You know what makes me really sad is that they had a winning formula here 2 leads that rocked a story line that was amazing supporting cast of stellar actors and veterans they started off wonderfully and then they decided to commit harakiri and killed the product before it even had a chance to grow They saw it getting slowly asphyxiated yet did nothing to stop the choking they lived in their own delusional world of all is well and now it is really hurting not just them but us
and yes i know the feeling bwah bwah Ah well cest la vie and now I can go find my bucket list that was languishing all this while and do something about that before my cheese ages and stinks😆

Sandy thanks😊 and no after today's episode it looks like very much a case of kidnapping Phew! I also dont want him to say ILU over a phone as a romantic gesture let it be a message please
I spent the best part of last year and a good part of this year hoping to hear those words from both of them so please let it not get messed up let all our hopes and dreams not be shattered and most importantl let this stupid MU that has gone on and on forever end
On the flip side amazing how the story seems to be moving forward so smoothly and with great moments

Yea after watching today's episode.. lots going on. Our girl will soon be on a mission now!! Nancy Drew cap on. But I am just loving the track from ME. Its like the old time charm is back. I want Khushi to give us that million dollar smile at least once now!! Fake one also will do!! That will brighten up everything..

its always a pleasure to see you🤗

always been rather cynical about Indian telly I am afraid, though i have now begun to realise that I need to be less critical and more understanding about the constraints or variables they operate under and they are actually doing a stellar job in the situation.

A lot of it has been due to one of Laddoo's posts, actually - she had one great post on Indian telly and the viewing behaviour which made a lot of sense and JW 's posts too...

i can now appreciate serials like lamp and light (as someone in this thread said!) etc. even if i cannot really relate to it.

A lot like reading Pather Pachali by Bibhuti Bhushan Bondopadhyaya - I understand its landmark literature by any standards but since I am v urban in my sensibilities, I lose the opportunity to relate and enjoy it as much as I could if I was not deficient in my sensibilities. I am really being honest here and not trying to sound superior. it is in fact a deficiency in me if we cannot understand another culture just because it is couched in a cultural context that is as foreign to me as say, Malay customs or Congo customs.

Those three words finally uttered by the very person who doesn't believe in it...we were all waiting for that for dunno how long ...and when it did happen...I felt not even an aorta of excitement...will wait until the actual scene is shown..but him saying those words thru phone and looking from his state either in captivity or remorse is like pouring ice cold water on ur fantasy.Do they really wanna rush thru the confession part too...when they could drag the endless 0OTT and other stuffs...why not give some time for this main focal point???????I am very disappointed ..


And regarding BS interview...if the aim was to pacify his IPK fans...it was a huge letdown...He said ...any body can play ASR...and I was like ouch!!!!! that did hurt and I am 😕

Indi he did not start off that well in the initial episodes and only later as he grew into the skin of the character that he started performing I also have a strange feeling that he is also a directors actor so probably he did get his ideas from there but no taking away from him the credit of making the role of ASR his. I have not seen any of his serials or for that matter anything much of Indian soaps so i really cannot comment too much on his acting prowess but he nailed ASR and that is what is going to be a problem for any one who decides to step in if there is going to be change
Hmm interesting days ahead for him



swathi, you are absolutely right, he does seem to be a director's actor, i have the same feeling too. i didn't find him this madly attractive in any of his previous shows. "hmm nice looking boy, " i thought, "lopsided grin," but that was it. didn't keep me glued to the tv. despite the heavy romance and much heartfelt dialogue on deep love.
i recall he did say how tough it was for him to do asr initially, and of differences of opinion with the director, but he came through. yes, direction was key. as was his ability to find the right nuance and tone. and i think he has learnt a tremendous lot in these months.

it's always easy to do something you're familiar with, stay in your comfort zone. it's when you step out that the real fun begins.

since end february, had a sense something was going wrong at a fundamental level. the writing just didn't add up. sadly, my addiction to the candy called khushi-asr chemistry kept me here. my gut feel is this is a ph problem that's gone haywire. otherwise the leave/leaving of one actor would have been handled with much more sense.

barun, i feel, has the potential to be a marvelous and true actor, so does sanaya. it's been a treat watching them. maybe this whole thing will be good for all of us in the end.

hey, rita,
lovely bullet point post (gosh how i hate it when the client says, i want the copy in bullet points, hyuk hyuk.)

i joined the forum just a couple of months back and it has been an energetic traipse of discovery. i am addicted to the opinions thoughts chatter humour writing and all those takes on everything ipkknd.

and these days i too find the forum more interesting than the only hindi soap i've ever watched regularly.

moi not at all a tv watcher. but somehow as age catches up, need to hear and see things indian goes up. so tv is on the moment one's back, surfing through the 5 indian channels i now have hehe. pure bg noise and splashes of colour, little delves into extreme melodrama, but no serious following or can't go anywhere now because "serial aa raha hai."

till mid october last year. ufff.

yeah, that's right, there's this feeling of method acting in barun-asr that just pulls me right in. rabba ves nice. but some really ordinary, everyday things often rivetting. the way he takes off his waistcoat in anger and flings it anywhere, or buttons on his jacket, or yells at aman (that character is a treat to imagine, thanks cv's). barun has the beginnings of a great actor, hope this flurry of strange interviews and excessive/unnecessary media attention doesn't ruin it before it even started.

love sanaya irani too. has something of the great actresses (yeah when women were not afraid to be women) about her; a nargis, a meena kumari, a waheeda, an audrey hepburn, a suchitra sen; i write this only because i truly sense this. again wonderful potential. and that beautiful voice with that quality of flow. lovely.

i have had so much fun since october, feel a bit sad that might end soon.

but as swathi pointed out so well, got to keep looking at the cheese and adapt to change.

the only good news: my barun mania seems to be abating a bit. aw to let go of such a perfect fantasy... ok ok, i'll be grown up about it. here's to looking at the cheese!!!

Are you in or are you not? Just say - Yes, I will be in after a bit of adjustment in my dates.
That would end the controversy.
Man!!! Barun!!!! you need to stop confusing fans.
Yes, you did say you will return and you should have stopped at that point, instead of adding that anyone can do the role of ASR.
NO! that is not what you tell your fans who fell in love with your ASR.
*facepalms*

He is making me want to kill myself, SJ!!! How can he say something like we fell in love with the character ASR and not Barun as ASR? He is trying to say that if any aira gaira nattu khaira came and played ASR because of his characterization, we would buy it?!?!? 😡
No Barun.. IPK's plot has been dwindling for a very long time and if it is anything, it is the amazing performances of you and Sanaya that keep us coming back. This show would have no takers based on storyline because unfortunately there isn't one!
So, please stop being vague and indecisive. All we need to know is, "I am coming back on so-so date. Dont worry. Cut it!" But nahi, Barun has to go the extra mile and say, my movie is better, you will prefer me here..
Yes SJ, he needs a PR Manager and that too pronto.. His nervousness is endearing but messing around with our heads is not fair.. He has been at SPA, interviews and spends time with Sanaya who is just excellent in an interview.. Please take some tips, Barun and do not underestimate the love that you have got as ASR!!!
Rant done? Check..
Apology required? Nope just a a few simple words... Love you Barun!! ❤️

Hi Indi
Thanks for writing back. Agree age and distance from roots changes things.. Love the sound of Hindi, watching rituals that seemed well ritualistic when younger and family bonding seems infinitely sweet:)
The addiction to IPK is strange and hopefully the makers will justify it with better tracks
About the bullet points, :) yes true but it really seems to have messed up my ability to write

And you are so right, ASR and Khushi tiny gestures and body language is so powerful in developing the characters for us.. Such a pleasant change from my expectation of over the top cinema
