So why did I make this post?
Firstly, I am a Srilankan and I watch South Indian movies and soaps ( Tamil). The main entertainment for all us Srilankans are - South Indian movies and Tamil serials. I know this will not be any surprise for anybody here, because there are Tamil fans of IPPKND - I am very well aware of that! But I am considered special! Why? ... I would have only watched one bolywood movie ever, before being introduced to Iss pyaar ko kya naam doon? and it was - ' Jab We met': I happen to watch that film because a tamil film was released approx a year ago, which was the remake of , ' Jab we met' ! It was called, ' Kanden Kadhalai' - I was deeply in love with the story line and wanted to watch the Hindi version of it, with subtitles!! 👍🏼
Other than that - I had no experience of watching anything in Hindi for a long - term!
My Journey to, ' Iss pyaar ko kya naam doon?'
I remember that day...It was last year November..when I was busy searching for a tamil song on youtube! For some strange reason; I could not find the right video and ended up by mistake clicking on the Diwali episode of, 'Iss pyaar ko kya naam doon?' That was it!...I was glued to my laptop! I could not take my eyes of ARSHI! I felt my heart telling me - " This is called love!" I became so obsessed with them that, I ended up spending a whole night searching for the episodes on their romance! Cheeky! - I know! I didn't and I couldn't sleep that night! My hunting began from that day onwards...to find the root of Iss pyaar ko kya naam doon? - To fully understand the storyline! It did take me a while to eventually, watch all the episodes prior to the Diwali episode..BUT I MADE IT! Believe it or not?..I watched all these episodes without any subtitles! Their actions spoke the words for me! I was only interested in their love ...NOTHING ELSE! I do not have Starplus so I never knew that they show the episodes with English Subtitles 🤔 - I am a fool right?
I began my hunt to properly understand the episodes and happen to discover , ' desitvbox' - Which written updates every episodes! I was satisfied with that and thanked god for enabling me, to understand the idea of every episodes! But then I was not satisfied anymore after...Discovering that IPKKND comes with subtitles 😲!!! 😵 I was like, " What the?" - LIKE ASR Then I happen to discover, ' Desirippers' - who update episodes with subtitles! Then I became filled with satisfaction! That did not last...I could not wait till getting over with the drama of Anjali! lool 😆
That was my discover to IPKKND! 😃 I am really HAPPY!

I am really happy that I discovered Iss pyaar ko kya naam doon?..Otherwise I would have been forced to the traumatic situation of having to watch meaningless Tamil serials! I might seem, ' sarcastic', but that is honestly how I feel! I was never a great fan of tamil serials, but I mum was and is! 😛 After watching, ' Iss pyaar ko kya naam doon' - It was like someone put a tight slap on my face! I have been watching tamil serials all my life, without any logic, story and literature! I am not degrading the Tamil industry! I do not have any ' hate' on the films ..but the Small screen industry is for the typical Tamilians! I honestly feel that the small screen should develop more! Not in the context that it should copy the hindi serials, but the directors of Tamil tv shows should grow some bulbs and realize that they are only covering the, aunties and elderly! I totally believe in the difference of the two industries, but it is just sad!
I just want to finish off by saluting each and every actors of Iss pyaar ko kya naam doon! And a bow for the director and writers of Iss Pyaar ko kya naam doon? A special thanks to Sanaya and Barun for making the characters of; Arnav and Khushi stay glued to our hearts! Annd!!...Last but not the least..Love you all IF members and writers! You never fail to entertain me! I am addicted to this forum...it is unbelievable! ❤️
Thank you for reading my post!!! 😃
