Why I fell in love with Yeh Rishtey Hai Pyaar Ke

Hi everyone, I have been active on this forum for a while but never introduced myself formally. My name is Mimosa and this is the story of why and how I fell in love with YRHPK ❤️

I was a die hard fan of Iss pyaar ko kya naam doon and naamkaran and getting over those shows was very hard for me. I knew about this show from the beginning but didn't want to get addicted to anymore TV shows. But still I started watching it during the breakup track in december because I really liked Shaheer in his previous shows separation track. I was curious to know how mishbir would patch up. Actually, I was rooting for nishmish for a little while because I wasn't aware about mishbir's love story and I really liked nishant's character during the beginning of the track. However CVs ruined everything at the end 💔

Anyway, due to COVID, I had a lot of free time so I caught up with all YRHPK episodes and BOY was I missing out!! This show is truly unique from every sense. Starting from the realistic storyline (not talking about the current track 😆), complex and layered characters, amazing soundtrack, and last but not the least, our MISHBIR

Here's what I love about mishti and Abir as characters:

Mishti: the first thing that intrigued me in the very first promo of YRHPK was her glasses. I too started wearing glasses since a very young age and was insecure about them for a long time. I even got LASIK after turning 18. However, after watching Mishti's stand on glasses struck a chord in my heart. I have seen other characters wear glasses on TV but never saw this issue being portrayed so realistically. She made me love my glasses too. Another thing I really love about Mishti is how strong and opinionated she is! She did not hesitate to call off her engagement with Kunal despite everyone's pressure 👏

I was also able to relate to Mishku's equation to a certain extent near the beginning because I was in kuhu's shoes when I was younger. I was an only child for a long time so I was pampered a lot. But I have a cousin sister who is a few days younger than me. Whenever she visited us, my grandparents and family completely ignored me which made me feel insecure as a child. Now that I have grown up and happy with my life, I don't feel insecure anymore. But mishku's equation reminded me of my childhood.

Abir: I don't even know where to begin. I never saw such a strong headed and feminist ML in ITV. His love and support for mishti and his family sets him miles ahead of everyone else. He's truly a heera in every sense. I never liked guys with long hair but in this show I fell in love with Abir's lambi and silky zulfein Even my mom likes his long hair 😆

Finally, I have noticed something different about this show is that characters have many layers and no one is completely black and white. Even mishbir make mistakes and that's what keeps them real. This opens room for discussion among viewers. I have read so many amazing and well written posts on this forum. Despite the difference in opinions among forum members, the discussions are always so mature 👏

Ps: even though I am not liking the current track and the constant fear about show going off, I am really happy that Yeh rishtey and mishbir came into my life. I will forever cherish this show in my heart ❤️

PPS: I know my writing is not half as good as you guys so thank you all so much for reading until the end 🤗

Hi..

This is janu..

Same here..I was fan of IPKKND and Diya aur baati...even I liked shaheer when I saw navya in hotstar..but don't want to attatch to any Tv drama series so even saw and liked promos I did not see...but in lockdown I couldn't resist myself and saw full episodes and fell in love with all charectors, especially MISHBIR..💞

for me the reason I loved is

Mishti: her way of approaching the situation, how bold she is to put her POV infront of everyone no matter what others think about her..she is emotional, practical, strong minded

One of the best FL in tv and so different from typical bahus

ABIR: He is the most practcal, logical ML in Tv history..I liked how he supports Mishti..not by defaming or badmouthing others but he comforts her in his own way..and how he outspoke his ways of approaching the situation and keep least expectations from others...the way he stands against her MOM when ever she is wrong is fabulous...and that too along with giving respect to her..He is emotional, practical, not too open but cares for everyone..

Some similarities are there between them and some differences are there which are complements eachother as a perfect jodi..

But all these characteristics of these two are slightly changed after marriage..

Sumaiya 🤗

What a beautiful post straight from your heart ❤️ agree with everything that you have written I

Now that you have written, I see so many beautiful memories of the show and the forum playing in my mind ..hehe 😆

I guess if we spend less time judging the characters and more time understanding them, journey would be simpler for us , nothing is constant though

I also want to add something about how I fell in love with this show and its characters.

I would watch this show last year but I was just watching it and did not really invest myself into the story.

Then I remember during lockdown/peak of COVID-19 in Europe, I watched the whole show again and I got really attached to it. It got me through a tough time because I had to keep working and I live in a different city ; not with my parents.

Anyways I love MishBir because:

Abir: What a fantastic ML he is; he is supportive, understanding, caring, loving, a feminist, and stands up for what he believes in. He expresses his opinion even in front of his strong and opinionated mother without batting an eyelid and does not let her control his thought process. He is a great brother, a good friend and the best lover. However, he has flaws and is not perfect. I loved his hair too - I remember calling him Zulfein.

Mishti - She was fearless, fierce and stood up for herself.

Thank you YRHPK for giving me S1; like I said you have no idea what this show did for me; i really hope this winter we do not see a situation like we did in April -May in our health service. Those were really tough, anxious times. If they return though, I still hope I have MishBir and if not because of TRPs, then Thank You DKP, Sha, Rhea for giving me this show ❤️❤️

Hi Janu 😊 Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the show and characters. You have described Abir so beautifully. He really is the best!

Yes Mishbir's traits have been meddled with after marriage but that's okay..It's a TV show after all and nothing is perfect. The discrepancies keep us hooked to the show and keep our discussions going

Aww thank you so much ❤️Please do share your memories about the show and forum, I would love to know

Yeah this year has made me realize to focus on the positives only. It's a TV show after all and I watch it to keep my mind off of all the negativeness of the real world. The old episodes help me forget about everything and just focus on mishbir 😳

This year has turned our lives upside down but I am so glad you and I found solace in mishbir ❤️

Lol I love your nickname for Abir 😆 I wish he would grow his hair back and mishti gets her glasses back

Yes, no matter what the show's fate is, we will always have them in our heart and rewatch S1 episodes (and some s2 episodes)

Hi Momisa 🤗so nice to hear about you😳

Oh god you are also die hard Arshi fan 😃 I m so happy to get someone who is ipkknd fan ..I too was addicted to IPKKND.. used to visit the forum and talk and discuss about Sarun a lot.IPKKND was my fav after Navya ⭐️ it was really hard to come to term after IPKKND end I too dint watch must show after that ..but I have huge crush on Shaheer so Mahabharat was my comeback to the TV show then KRPKAB then Salim Anarkali ❤️

And now YRHPK ..I watch other show here there but I m lazy girl ..I don't follow any show regular that's my habit but with Shaheer on show I can't do it ..and have to watch the

Show😆

So my story with the show was that

Firstly I was known that Shaheer is coming back to TV so soon ..I once saw Mishti promo and that Naira introduction to Mishti wala promo ..but I was not keen to watch the show ..my first trigger was EK CHUP CHAI wala promo ..oh I was for whole time drooling over Shah ☺️

That's how I started to watch the show .. initial I was regular but sometime after Mishbir confession I couldn't be regular and I missed whole baba track and all coz my daughter was really sick and she needed extra care..so it was hard for me to come back to the show💔 but after sometime I get back and rest is 😛

I was also Nishmish supporter.Vatsal looked amazing with Rhea (plz Mishbirian don't throw tomatoes and chapals to me😆 ) but at the end of the day Mishbir is what matter the most😳

Mishti and Abir both are unique character in itv ..

Abir is something different means I have always seen only angry young man type of role in itv it's so surprising to seen some refreshing character like Awwbir only Shah can do such varieties of roles ❤️

Mishti is again a surprise package for me ..I have seen itv girl listening to all the mocking and bashing passing through her but Mishti is someone who stand for herself and her self respect matters for her👍🏼 it was before lockdown episode now Mishti character is lost somewhere ..Rhea has done full justice to Mishti character she have live it ..this girl ahve surprisingly make a place in my ❤️ Now I m Rhesha fan

Thank you so much for sharing your story about YRHPK

Yes, IPKKND, Arshi and Sarun were love. I was also very active on IF during ipk days and even made so many VMs on it. That's why it shattered me even more when IPK ended. I promised myself to not get attached to anymore TV shows and only focus on schoolwork. But here we are 😆

I had seen only one promo of Yeh rishtey which was naira introducing mishti. Never saw the ek cup chai or other promos until the lockdown lol

Aww I am sorry about your daughter's sickness and hope she is doing well now ❤️

Lol don't worry, I was also a nishmish shipper for a while

Abir and Mishti are very unique characters for me and this is what drew me to them too. I had only watched Shaheer in kuch rang ke and rhea in Tu suraj as kanak. But here as mishbir, rhesha have outdone themselves and made me a huge fan 👏

There is so much that I have already written on the show and the characters ke mujhe samajh nahi aata ke main aur kya likhu, may be I am too overwhelmed to write that kind of thoughts, it gives me a farewell type feeling , but I will write after some time 😳

You are right, old episodes had its own charm, in fact this show played a vital role in keeping me positive through out , the show is more than just entertainment for all of us here
