After watching the last scene of IPKKND today it seemed as though IPKKND was surely coming towards its end. I saw the scene twice. The first time, I smiled, my heartbeats got faster, I felt a funny feeling in the pit of my stomach, and I felt a shiver run through my spine. But when I went back and saw it the second time, the finality of the scene brought tears to my eyes. Today seemed like ASR's farewell to all of us. First, the scene in the beginning where he stood up for Khushi or as he said "all the contestants" and said "Well, I just did" when told he couldn't change the rules. I was grinning through it all, welcoming the ASR we all have fallen in love with. Secondly, the cute Rabba Ve at the end in which they showed Arnav, the Arnav we all wished to have in our lives.
It hurts to bid farewell, since this show has created so many friendships for me and so many memories, but this point in time will continuously come in life where you're forced to let go of something you love. I hope all the members that are trying so hard to keep Barun on the show or at least bring him back are successful and they're attempts don't go futile but nevertheless, all good things do come to an end. Ever since DMG ended, I was always on the lookout for a show that would evoke the same emotions that DMG had and I had finally found it in IPKKND. But I am willing to end this show on a good note and I feel that today was that day.
Today's episode brought back so many memories and at the same time put a stamp on the show as "THE END." I wish upon wish that this show continues with Barun playing Arnav and I know everyone is trying, but if Barun honestly never comes back, I am happily willing to accept this episode as the end because it summed up all my feelings for the character in this one episode. If they couldn't do anything else for us, I'm glad the production house at least created this episode. It seemed like putting salt on open wounds, but deep inside, I know I'm thankful, because it's episodes like these that will remind me of the great show IPKKND once was and will always bring me back to it just to watch these old scenes of Arhi. 👏
