lajo ji and what was alok nath caled? master ji? so cute. a certain understated elegant heat... nice. his first show i think, and the lovely anita kanwar... i saw it in the '80s wjen it was made. there was also humlog and ashok kumar at the end of every episode with the "gyan." the idea of the show borrowed from mexico or somewhere... an attempt to reach out to people with certain ideas via a serial. majli was the troubled one, right? way back then, the girls were more cool than they are in serials today, though may be in jeans and speaking angreji.
remember khandan? i also saw a bit of tara, never liked it. but there have been several shows in the pre saas bahu days, which were different and had interesting ideas. there was nukkad and yeh jo hai zindagi... good actors.
ipk will always be the only serial that completely hooked me. something unforgettable about its apprehension of love. and i was always a big fan of this feeling. in our cold hard cash and carry times, this love is just so much more necessary than we know.
so if anyone's copying, have fun...

Okay, don't scream or kill me but I watched it!I bit the bullet and watched IPK2, not during its initial airing but I DVR'd it so it wouldn't get the ratings at 2am, and OMG,what are they thinking?It was awful.They used the whole concept of the raging man (good looking, but not good) and the zany, sweet girl (who actually was not bad). They had him behaving and acting with ASR characteristics, ie. him pulling at her and making the fist and talking through gritted teeth and she as the tearful wee babe.I couldn't finish it.Good concept IPK, bad for remaking of season 2.Did they not think we would compare it to season 1?Star Plus what are you thinking?There is only one IPK, Arnav and Kushi, everything else looks plain silly. Just my POV.ps this is going against forum code we are not suppose to compare them.
my nineteen year old niece and i just finished a conversation about why we liked the screaming shouting manhandling mr raizada. and our feeling... a) we knew he was in pain himself, and b) somehow barun could sense and portray the tender beauty clean noble side of the man, even amid that chaos.
still, while many people felt there was no need for him to apologise, i did feel there was and i loved the way he chose to make a trip in the middle of the night to do it. i however did not feel the need for a major redemption thing and see how wrong you were asr track.
life. this happens that happens, no one's perfect, as long as there's love and respect finally, and an understanding, good enough.
everywhere, women are asked in various ways to be less, to curb, to hold back... this is the one thing i tell my daughter... never accept any situation where you are asked to be less. today i made her read the wiki entry on "misogyny," after five lines she said, her stomach felt queasy.
i love the mills and boon type, or at least the idea of him, but over the years, clear to me, i am not into being dominated. i liked the fact khushi always fought back... that sense of equal. you shut up (or that very sexy "shaat up" as hd75 says) and she replies after a few bouts of this, "aap shut up," nice. his equal. i always believed that is one of the reasons he fell for her, her guts, her indomitable trait, like him, he sensed she was like him... also that friction was exciting... no one spoke to him like that.
they made khushi into a what i have no idea. what the h was that mrs india thing... yes catering business anyday or even math tuition... but this?
love your post. i called my brother whom the mother doted on but pretended to be mad at... the blind spot. but then my dad had a thing for me i think, so it never really bothered me.
adam's rib, ah thesis can be written on that. or the song sung to the wife every sabbath in an observant jewish home... or the whole place of "bahu" in an idian home and the exalted position of "damad" the son in law... we need characters like asr in this world... for that rready to put up with some nastiness... woman enough to handle it.
biting? while hard kisses feel sort of exciting... uh huh to serious biting and things.

While reading this I had a mixture of emotions. While being raised in the west to an Italian American family, my youngest sibling is male. I am the middle child, my parents eldest was also female. My brother was god especially to my mom. We still to this day call him the messiah. He could never do any wrong and he walked on water according to mom. Still, I never felt inferior, in a matter of fact I would fight for my rights to do things but I do remember me not being allowed to go away to college. I am not sure if it was that my parents couldn't afford it (which I very much doubt) or girls just didn't leave the house until they were married.Anyway I got married at 20 to a hateful, abusive man- maybe I just wanted to escape. Needless to say you all know my story and I found my John because of it...now 32 years later!What disappoints me is when I read the FF and all the girls write about someone biting them during lovemaking. This disturbs me, for I have heard of love nips but not the description of actual biting. Without going to deeply into this I "assume" (hate doing that), that this is an amorous part of the culture or is it the man's dominance over a woman? I know that when lions mate, the male bites the neck/shoulder of the female showing his dominance until she submits. Is not love suppose to be a sharing of each other in a beautiful way? So like I said it disturbs me and I apologize for bringing this matter up especially to our youngsters they do not need to hear this.In IPK what disturbed me, was how attracted I was to the ASR character, whom I in my POV, was very abusive to Khushi in the beginning. He degraded her, physically man handled her and kept putting her "in her place". Why was I so attracted to this terrible man? But deep in my heart I knew he was hurt and his reactions were because of this. I still feel terribly guilty when I am attracted to the alpha, dominant male. I play the role of the lowly female/ lion awaiting domination.I was watching a show called Jodha Akbar and I am ashamed to say I love it. There must be something deep in my core that calls out for the dominant male and I probably was raised not knowing that a woman does not have to be dominated.Until we raise our daughters, (which unfortunately have none), with the belief that we are equals to men in all rights and aspects of this world, nothing will change. When G-d created us, the story in my Bible states that we came from the rib of man, formed so he would not walk this earth alone. People take that literally. A woman gave birth to the G-d, he would never exist without a woman! Men should remember this! LOLAND finally I hated the Khushi of the last few episodes. I remember calling ArshiH and screaming about the Miss India contest. Just like Miss America, Miss World, Miss Universe what's the point? A woman's talent and beauty does not have to be judged at all. The CV's could have had Khushi run the tilffin business or join AR Designs to prove that point. Ughhh, absolutely hated it.Our zany, cray girl was one to be admired. I never felt that she was not worthy of greatness and love. BTW of love the culture of the extended family and everyone living together. The mother-in-law in charge and all the women helping to run the household and caring for the family. This is a beautiful! But if a woman wants to be educated and go out to work why not? Some love to take care of family while others want to enter the business world, either way neither is wrong unless imposed and forced on someone.Okay, my idle chatter and rant is done. I love and respect all you wonderful women of this thread and we know no matter what we are stronger than anyone thinks!
