SHYAM

i think ippknd is the only serial where we hated the negative character to such a extent and we have missed that character so much during khushi's wooing days

true ipk is unique in all ways

IPK was a family for me.. i liked abbhas, he is such a wonderful actor...nowadays i prays to god that give me such family as my sasural (shyam a good jeeaji).

ya we missed everone except bubbly and sheetal

Really, I even missed him after the revelation xD

But one I don't miss is Sheetal and Aarav😛

Very true, even I don't miss these two but really miss Shyam's character. He was d best villian so far I've seen on TV screen. He's truely a best perfect villian and even miss our dear Lakshmiji also.

Actually now that I am re-watching the show.. savoring all the ins & outs without the tension of what is going to happen next... I like each & every earlier hated character... well except Masala Mama, don't get the point of this Mami's relative... maybe the writers couldn't explore this character further due to falling TRPs during Arnav's kidnapping track absence.

Lavanya: I started watching as this character was departing.. but during the re-watch from epi 1, this was the one the most delicate transition from the absolute bit**ch hated by everyone to someone who is loved by all, in a TV show..

La is shown going negative to positive the same time as Shyam is seen going positive to negative.. almost the same ratio.. like a See-saw.. one side going up, the other going down..

Shyam: Loved his journey from the boy next door, can't help falling desperately in love with Khushi... to the revered & respected Jeejaji... to the slow spiral downwards towards the darkness of jealousy slowing descending to murder & revenge.. excellent.. both by the actors & the writers

Bubbly: This actually on second viewing is extremely good track (of course went Haywire towards the end).. the little girl getting jealous of his brother's wife... was very well executed.. slow realization that there is someone taking center stage & again progressing into the dark realm of human nature.. the ugly jealousy.. this emotion is not restricted to GF/BF, Saas/Bahu.. but also in a child's heart...

Sheetal & Araav: This too started off very strong.. but fizzled out very lamely with the writers taking an easy way out of the dilemma... I think i am in a minority here.. but I wish that Araav was actually Arnav's kid... they completely changed Arnav's character by making him love drumming, to implying that he didn't believe in relationship out of marriage.. when we knew that prior to Khushi.. that was the only relationship he believed in... The suspicion of Khushi of Araav's parentage to Sheetal - Khushi slow acceptance of the other person in Arnav's life.. to the budding relationship between Arnav & Araav.. the slow acceptance by the family of this new development...all excellent, gripping story.. Araav was an excellent actor.. until the very cheap/easy way out of making Sheetal the bad guy.. a typical 70s movie formula...

Again these are just my viewpoint..

ditto
even i missed shyam.
he was such a great villain😆brought new thrills to the show.
His character was interesting..unlike most negative characters in other shows.
