Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon

"Such is the inconsistency of real love, that it is always awake to suspicion, however unreasonable; always requiring new assurances from the object of its interest." The above lines might summarize the bottom line of Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon (IPKKND)however words might fall short to describe the beauty and depth of the love story of Arnav Singh Raizada and Khushi Kumari Gupta. Love - hate stories have hit the Indian Film and Television industry but never before have we seen such a response to it.

Arnav Singh Raizada a.k.a ASR is your quintessential M & B anti-hero who comes across as ruthless and shrewd but is blessed with a heart of gold. No one managed to unveil the love in his heart except one woman, Khushi Kumari Gupta. Khushi is a woman with high moral values but likes to enjoy life and never lets the problems in her life get the better of her. They are as different as chalk and cheese but are in every way each other's better half.

IPKKND is the journey of discovery and unveiling's. It is Arnav and Khushi's journey to discovering true love. It is the unveiling of the ugly face of the world to Khushi and also the unveiling of a pure soul like Khushi to Arnav who had lost faith in humanity. It is the journey of a brother to save his sister from the clutches of a spineless villain alongside the unveiling of the high regard the love of his life has for him and his family. It is Arnav's discovery of him having the right to true love after his difficult life and to Khushi, it is the unveiling of the truth of her life.. The man who she reckons a beast is her handsome prince in reality.

IPKKND boasts of one of the most fabulous performance you will see, from the leads as well as the ensemble cast. Each character compliments the other and the end product is a show that will make history. Barun Sobti and Sanaya Irani play Arnav and Khushi respectively. The actors have done other shows before but this particular show has taken their career to dizzying heights. Thir chemistry is electrifying and they have raised the bar of performance up several notches. It will be a while till any other actor will gain the love and undying support that these 2 amazing actors have achieved. Their humility and down to earth attitude sets them a class apart.

Watch this show if you want to witness the pain and joy of love. Watch this show if you want the best love story portrayed on celluloid. Watch it if you believe that "True love conquers all."

If an Indian television show is featured in an Entertainment Weekly's article, then it must be good. If it's featured as the one of the shows that should be recreated for an American network, then obviously it's a must watch! For those of you who have seen the show, you know what I mean by "Hai Devimaiyya" when I see the on screen couple (Arnav & Khushi). The chemistry they share is something a lot of Hindi television shows have been missing. The core of any soap is romance. If there is no romance then the show is a flop and does not attract a wide range of viewers. This is definitely a show that brings the romance back from a long hiatus. I just wish Star Plus did not cancel the show. Barun Sobti need to come back so we can have season 2!

First, Little bit about me. I am currently unemployed for a while now. So sitting at home I watch tv series and movies all day. I have watched lots of great tv shows in my college days from crime dramas like Breaking Bad, Sopranos to comedies like Seinfeld, The Office etc. So you see, I have seen some superbly written stuff on the screen. IPKKYND is not one of them. I am an Indian and I hear a lot about quality of our hindi TV shows . One has to understand that the target audience is very different in case of these soap operas. You can't expect 'Sherlock' to be enjoyed by a audience that consists primarily of Moms, teenage girls who are looking for some entertainment. Secondly it is unfair to compare shows that are tightly written for 80-100 episodes with these tv shows that run for more than 400 episodes. So when I say IPKKND is very good serial ,I say it minding all these limitations. What works for this show is the chemistry between two leads and I have to say that, the director has exploited that a lot. Sometimes it seems Arnab and Khusi make eye contact for too long amidst an shot sequence that seems improbable in real life. A background tune comes every time they meet, (I have to admit that I really started liking it ,by the time show ended ) while camera moves around showing their faces. It amazes me that it never felt overdone (It might have to do with big crush I have on Sanaya) Apart from the two leads, small charecters are woven beautifully into the plot. Mamiji ,Buaji,NK, Nani ji all do justice to their role. My favourite is Buaji with her 'NandKishore', with Mamiji a close second. The show is far from perfect and around sixth season I wanted to quit watching . It seemed like they wanted to overstretch the show with some loose storylines. However I stuck to it as I really felt connected with the characters. All in all a show recommended to viewers who like romance with bits of comedy.

Love this series a lot.......specially ArShi

I have seen the first promo of this telly series and thought this JODI have that sparkling chemistry which can get u hooked..........And the 4th promo is the icing on the cake....With that promo I fell in love with the serial and actually waited for 6th June for the serial to get started

In the first Episode itself heroine falls in the arms of Hero........And the sparks flew.........I think this is the best First episode i have ever seen on any telly soap...........everything is done so beautifully right from the leads entrance till the time they meet........

As time passed.....the chemistry just grew and became magical.......I have never seen any couple having that magic in them that shows on screen...........ArShi r a pure treat to watch

And of course the BG music also played a very important role........ Rabba Ve has become the anthem for every ArShian.......... every song has its own importance..........Teri Meri has literally became ArShi's song

Coming to the supporting characters.......Each character have their own style and charm.......although i agree that there r no parallel tracks involved but still they have made a mark. A special mention to NK.......His Hindi-English is awesome

Coming to the negative lead...Shyam...............And we love to hate the character.kudos to Abhas...

The track I hated most is Sheetal track......I wish it had never been there in the soap.......but because of that 1 stupid track i cant ignore the rest......

Direction by LM and AK is awesome.....and thank u 4 lions for making this amazing love saga........

And of course kudos to both Barun and Sanaya for making Arnav and Khushi come alive on our screens.....The way these two performed is wonderful and they made ArShi an eternal couple...

I have never watched any serial with this much interest from day 1 to the last day...........this series has some magic in it that just kept me hooked on to it

my rating is def 10/10

IPKKND is a part of our life, my family...young n old enjoy this show!!! What makes this show gripping that all of us our glued to the TV for half hour? Unmistakably, chemistry between the lead pair - Barun and Sanaya - Hats off to both of you!!! They are very convincing as Arnav and Khushi, another person to be applauded is Abhaas for his portrayal of Shyam....truly the best villain on TV.

A big round of applause to the entire crew and cast, amazing work!!! Can't wait to see what the creative team has in store for us. This show is truly worth a watch....not your run of the mill...tear jerker..that's for sure!!!
