I still remember being online one fine evening during January someday this year and having my cousin and a college friend online to chat with. The time being around 8-8:15 P.M , I decided to give the chats a wrap for a while, and have my dinner. All of a sudden one of the college friends said , "Star Plus chala..Teri Madhuri ke gaane pe dance chalu hai" .After reading that , I casually went up to TV Switch and put it on, just to see what was going on STAR PLUS! Thought it mustbe just another boring daily soap drama with someone spoiling my Madhuri number. There was this actress, Sanaya Irani, whom I had seen before on Miley Jab Hum Tum (which I left watching mid-way cos of the script ) , who was dressed as MD from HAHK and was dancing to Didi Tera Devar's rehash for the show. There was something about the dance that made me feel inquisitive to watch it!..There was a one of its kind cuteness on her face and every character shown on the camera seemed very 'worth watching'! I must say, I was pretty impressed by the clip I had just seen.
Later the next day, before it was 8 PM, i decided, I'd give it a try and watch this show 'ISS PYAAR KO KYA NAAM DOON? ', the MD dance in which, I saw a day back!
Ever since,my journey of being a viewer to IPKKND began, and not a single day when I saw the show, was I disappointed!All of a sudden, I had become a ardent TV viewer of this show , every evening at 8!..Every single character of the show left a significant mark , which made me even more curious to watch it daily! The show was NOT a RONA-DHONA FILLED SAAS-BAHU DRAMA..That was the BEST thing about it!!!!! The prime reason for me seeing it was that it brought a Smile on my face everytime I saw it! ..Khushi was always upto some gimmicks to make you laugh..ASR's 'What The! ', Manorama's 'Hello Hie Bye Bye', Buaji's 'Hai Re NandKishore' ,Anjali's simplicity and sweetness, were truly epic and one-of-its-kind!!!!!!!!
The chemistry between Arnav and Khushi was UNMATCHABLE!!! In the past, I'd say , the last most happening jodi I saw on TV, which actually clicked , was Sumit and Kumkum's, before this one!...(I saw Kumkum for Juhi...was a hugeeee fan of hers..Still am!:) ). They had that SRK-Kajol spark, which lightens up when both are seen together on screen! No many jodi's are able to generate that magic! And on top of all this, the beautiful background scores was just an icing on the cake !(Wont ever forget the RABBA VE's :D )
The show portrayed a LOVE-HATE relationship between the leads in such a surreal manner that the viewers just could connect just instantly!
Apart from this, I loved the relationship between Arnav and Anjali as siblings. Their scenes together always remind me of my sweet sis Taruna and the happy moments we both cherish. :)
While I write this, I have already seen the LAST EPISODE of what I would consider to be one among my favorite shows on television!.I know all good things always come to an end and nothing is permanent. I would remember this show as one among those shows that always relieved me from any tensions I had !:) The show's end was sudden and I was obviously shocked knowing about it last Monday!. I got to know the Final shoot was scheduled on Wednesday at a studio in Kandivali. I thought of giving it a try to visit the sets and meet my favorite characters from the show. This was once in a life time chance, as I would never get to see all those characters under one roof , post that last shoot schedule. Here are details of my visit to the sets!:
I reached NINETY STUDIOS (Where the Raizada House is located) at around 2:30. On reaching there I was informed that the final shoot is already over and the stars had gone back home. I did not believe what I was being told since I had seen Karan (NK's) Tweet that stated they were shooting behind Ninety Studios at Sana House. It was an adventure in itself to find that Sana House. I walked 3-4 odd lanes and finally found it..only to reach there and know that the shoot got over at 12:30!I asked the watchman like 3-4 times, was it actually over! He repeatedly said it was, but I believed that if I was a true IPKKND Fan, there would surely be a way out that made me meet the cast that day!.Moreover, it was Guru Nanak Jayanti and my second birthday ( was born on the same date in 1990 when it was Guru-Janam and hence its the second time my B'day comes :D ) and I believed that I surely was going to meet the stars. I had taken a bouquet along , that I intended to present to Sanaya. Post hearing the watchman's words, I walked the ahead, disappointed, thinking of now going back home and studying. At the moment, I just felt, why dont I just go back once more and take a U-Turn then , one last time , to see the Studio. I did what I felt and while I moved towards the studio now, I saw NK- i.e Karan Goddwani standing outside the studio!..I was like...Seriously?!..Felt that , maybe that 'turn' was a direction by God to help me out! ;)
I went ahead, met Karan , and told him what I was there for! He was very down-to-earth while conversing with me , and said that since it was the last day of shoot, they werent allowing fans inside, but, he would go and ask inside if anything could be done!. I was totally Ok with it!I presented the bouquet to him and told him that this was for the entire cast!He went inside , while I patiently waited out. He came back in a while , only to tell me that since it was the last day, nothing seemed possible and that there was no way I could go inside.I told him ki thats fine and whether I could rather have pics only with him and go back. He readily agreed. I took pics and thanked him for trying to arrange for me going in.
Further, I was about to leave, when the watchman of the studio, came up to me, and was apologizing for lying about the shooting being over. I told him that it was his job and I totally understood his perspective , putting myself in his shoes, even I would do the same. He was happy I understood his plight and told me to wait for a while and he would try if he could something. I just couldn't believe my luck this time!I thanked him for the efforts he was about to put it for making me get inside the studio!.While I waited outside, for the next 30 odd minutes, one of the production co-ordinators named Vicky saw me and came up to me asking what I was there for!.I told him about how much I loved the show and that I was there only since it was the last day of shoot!. He seemed to be very understanding and told me that he had few guests from his side going inside the studios in a while, and I could join them. I was more than thrilled on hearing this!I just couldn't thank him enough. He said 'You seem to be a true fan, thats why I feel like helping you!'. Well, that toh, I was! ;)
In a couple on minutes, I was inside the studios of SANA HOUSE, where ASR's Office was located, where they were shooting the Finals of Mrs India. It seemed like there was a break that time. While I waited inside the ASR Office Reception Set for the stars to come there, It all seemed a dream! First we met Utkarsha Naik who plays Manorama and looked extremely different from her onscreen character!The first words I told her were HELLO HI BYE BYE :D .. She smiled at it and I exclaimed, "Ma'am , We are going to miss your character". She replied while we clicked a picture together, "Ohh!And I am going to miss fans like you!". I thanked her for the picture and wished her all the best ahead. She thanked me and made a move outside since she was done with her shoot.
Later , we saw Aarav and Anjali on the sets. Aarav was too shy and Gujju aunty's around me were cuddling him a lot which made him blush even more :D
Daljeet i.e Anjali was getting ready with rollers on her hair and dressed in a beautiful blue saree. She was so damn sweet that she actually told her costume guys to remove those rollers to pose with us for pictures. She is truly as Sweet and Kind as her character on screen. She saw the collage I made and gave an autograph on it. The marker I gave her was not working and she kept telling me that the market isn't working fine , but then she ultimately managed signing the page with it! After me, she signed with the same marker for other fans and then did not forget to return it to me ( FLASHBACKS: Madhuri Oral B Meet: When I Made Her Laugh , Anyone? :D)
I told Daljeet how much I loved the show. She said its indeed good to hear it from a guy that he loved their show and I said the show was worth it for this to happen! :)Wished Daljeet all the best for her future projects and told her am going to miss the show a hell lot. She exclaimed she would miss it too and told us to continue pouring in the same love and affection. With such a humble nature, I am sure she has miles to go in this industry!:)
Finally came the moment when KKGSR..i.e Sanaya came to inside dressed like a beautiful doll! She shook hands with us firstly and then agreed to pose for pics!..She looked a little stressed out and tensed, maybe because it was the last day of shoot!..But, she was way too kind with us fans!:)
All in all, I had an amazing day meeting my favorite stars from the show, who in true sense of word, are STARS, as they knew how to treat the common people on their sets!
I WOULDN'T SAY I AM GOING TO MISS THIS SHOW......BECAUSE INORDER TO MISS SOMETHING, WE NEED TO FORGET IT FIRST..AND I DONT THINK I WOULD EVER FORGET THE BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES OF THIS SHOW!
