IPKKND OS: So This Is Love | Valentine's Day OS | RWR Special

Ridz, I loved it! Such a lovely idea for Valentine's Day. Love stories which endured the test of time and the opprobrium of society. 

You've given each of them such profoundly apt back stories. Totally in keeping with their character. Of course, as they were all being interviewed by this kind, accommodating and empathetic young lady, so the truth came tumbling out ... 😉

Shashi was always Khushi's staunchest supporter. You brought out his strength of character so well. His loved ones will always have him standing unflinchingly with them. After his initial reaction to Arnav and Khushi's temple wedding, he was the first one to want to give Khushi the benefit of the doubt. His determination to be with Garima, given her history and the state of society then, was truly creditworthy. 

The reticent Mamaji a perfect foil for the outlandish Mamiji. I had always liked his quiet sense of humour, remember him telling Khushi "lage raho bitiya" when she was trying out her Bollywood nuska on Arnav. And despite appearances, he was never a doormat. He chose to keep the peace by taking a backseat but stood up when needed to for his son. 

I love how Aman "discreetly" checks for Arnav's messages. Some things can never change! I think most of us wanted Anjali and Aman to end up together. Arnav would also be able to accept someone he trusted implicitly to look after his Di. I like how you have Anjali moving on accepting her past and not attempting to bury it away. 

Aakash and Payal both needed to be away from the shadow of Arnav and Khushi to discover themselves. It's not that it was deliberately done, just that A&K's personalities were such. Theirs was always a quiet kind of love. A sweet adoration without the highs and lows of a grand passion. Not that that made it any less real. Umm they all exist for me okay ...

One can just see NK blithely moving through life genuinely uncaring of what may have transpired in the past. It's the here and now that matters. La's past history with Arnav would always be considered by him as just that, past. 

Ridz, that expression on Arnav's face when he first set eyes on Khushi at the photo shoot. Goose bump inducing ... sigh. And how can a "I love you" mean anything unless followed by a "dammit"?! Loved how you had that little touch of sarcasm which Khushi doesn't cotton on to. She really is such a sweet soul! Just as well she has Arnav looking out for her. As he had said "tum hosh mein hi nahi hoti, aadhe waqt tum kya kar rahi ho and tumhare saath kya ho raha hai". And Arnav may have said it for Khushi under the influence of Bhang but it so holds true for him as well - "uski aankhen, uski smile, uske baal (uh maybe not that  😆)"

Such mein, aise pyaar ko kyon naam doon?
