Like mm21, my journey also started in January 2005. Before KK, I hardly ever watched any Indian serial, as anytime my mom was watching TV, her serials had nothing but rona, dhona, and badla. Only show on Indian channels I watch are Sa Re Ga Ma Pa and Antakshari (which is now over, unfortunately).
It was a snow day and I was channel surfing. I tuned in to a show where a radio jockey and another radio jockey were named Kareena. (Remember when Pammi aped her to win Tushar? Remember when Pammi also threatened Kareena that she'll expose her double-life?). It was wa too confusing for the first-time viewer. Nonetheless, I thought that episode was funny, but wasn't something that was going to last. About two weeks later, I just randomly tuned into the show and it was getting a bit more interesting when Kareena, who lived two lives, was going to confess to her boss that she was not really married and is a radio jockey. Since then, for some reason, I wanted to watch this serial. I thought this serial was going to end when Pammi gets exposed and all ends happily ever after.
Around early February, my pharmacy started giving me night shifts. As a result, I only saw this show only at the nights and whatever I missed, I was hoping to follow up with it on the recap. At one point, I missed too many episodes that I had to find a way to catch up. Thus, I found this forum and Sumit and Poo's India updates. Since then, I've been actively watching the show and coming to IF (not registered till June though) to see how topics came about and other cool things.
I must say this serial was very very wholesome. It had every element that I was able to appreciate. Elements of love, desire, friendship, laughter, life, anger, loneliness, melancholy, revenge, inner-strength, coruage, power, dignity, honor, and victory. KK had become a significant chapter in my life. My night shifts won't ever feel the same, when I come home and KK not gracing my TV screen.
