I've been a die hard fan of IPK since beginning like most of others over here. I've never missed a single episode of ipk...until one day i just lost interest and quit it completely.
Dont ask me why i did it or how i did it, because i really dont know.
One day i watched the episode and the next day i didnt even bother to keep star plus at 8pm.
I dont even remember which episode was the last one i watched, i just know it was during sheetal track which i wasnt enjoying at all, but still i never even dreamed of quiting the show that had become a part of my life.
I think i didnt even log on to forum after that, i just dont know what got into me.
But trust me, though i had quit ipk i wasnt running about saying its a crap show or anything and i never have even thought about saying a word against SaRun, they managed to remain my favorite jodi till date.. Surprising thing was i didnt even start hating ipk, i still used to cherish my memories of my favorite show.. It was as if the show had ended for me the day i stopped watching it, i actually had no hard feelings, but i wasnt hooked to it either.
Then came the news that ipk was ending.. I wasnt aware that there were earlier speculations that Barun was quitting and Viraf was gonna enter that show because like i said i was totally disconnected from ipk at that time, no forum, no updates, nothing...
Coming back to the ending news, i remember i came to know of this from the Tellybuzz article and i wasnt shocked neither was i nostalgic but i wasnt happy either. I was just neutral, coz ipk was already dead for me and death of a dead wont be so shocking right.
But still i had watched the video of Sanaya crying on last day of shoot, i too cried with her.
I had seen the CV's message to viewers that was displayed at bottom of TV screen, i too felt they were trying to defame Barun, i too was frustrated.
I had seen the last scene of the last episode on TV. But still i wasnt emotional about its ending.
After a while I had seen a topic that the forums of the shows that had ended would be closed, but i didnt enquire more about it. I think that was the last time i checked into ipk forum.
I wasnt bothered about ipk for a long time...
Slowly i started visiting the forum, reading all the nostalgic posts, smiling and crying together after reading it and so started living ipk once again.
