So much movement!!! ;)))

I don't believe this! One episode I miss of Maryada and so much happens???!!! *rofl*

I don't like the Vidya-Gaurav track right now - I liked that innocent, naive Vidya - this girl who is totally under Imli's direction and is becoming sly and conniving, is not to my taste.
Still love that Minister Roshnee Devi ... rarely have a seen such a delicious combination of evil and funny! That actress is good ... very loud (wish she would lower her voice by a few decibels) ... but good. And the guy who entered in the last scene ... what was that??? If Brahmanand Jakhar is Mr. Lech, this new guy is pure Evil personified!
Ok, so is the history of the SSP's evil misdeeds with Priya going to be revealed finally to all, including Aditya? And what will Aditya's reactions be - not just to his father, but also to Priya, when he realises she has kept this truth from him?

Intense?

Gear up for Is Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon?


The story of IPKKND

Is Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon? is a story of LOVE that happens to Khushi and Arnav who constantly HATE each other.


Khushi is a modest girl who basks in the love and care of her quaint family in Lucknow, who run a Halwai shop. She strongly believes in Devi Maa, truth, honesty and the goodness of people. Arnav is the richest man in Delhi, who redefines affluence as a Garment tycoon. All that matters for him is success, money and power. His life has no place for God and Goodness.
Their first encounter in Lucknow is disastrous. Arnav mistakes Khushi to be an opportunist and shatters her reputation. Only the intervention of Shyam, a very charismatic man, saves her the taunts and molestation from the local goons. As a result of Arnav's actions, Khushi has to leave her hometown with her elder sister, Payal and live with her Bua in Delhi. Arnav and Khushi's tryst with each other continues in Delhi too.
In an unusual twist of fate, Khushi by mistake ends up damaging Arnav's expensive car. Arnav blames her again and she promises to pay him back for the damages.
Khushi now has no option but to find work to honor her commitment to Arnav, and that too she has to find a suitable job without even being acquainted with the ways of Delhi. Shyam again comes to her rescue and finds her a placement.
But to Khushi's horror, she ends up working in Arnav's office. And this marks the start of a journey filled with tremendous battle of wills, hatred, adjustments, attraction and love.
Khushi likes Shyam who appears to be an erudite and rooted character as opposed to Aranv. She thinks of him a friend while Shyam is truly besotted with her and has ulterior motives which Khushi is unaware of.

Herein begins the tryst of relationships where this seemingly romantic love triangle gets its edge and a surprise twist. Due to the irony of fate; the eternal star crossed lovers – Arnav and Khushi are put into situations where they battle their emotions and feelings; where they come face to face again for sake of their cherished relationships, their family. The misunderstandings ensue, the passions collide, and there is pain and betrayal; desire and desertion; promises and commitments...

It is a story of love which can not be decoded in simple terms. When it looks like a love story of hate, the passion brings them together...when it looks like love will conquer all odds; the destiny plays its cards. The characters in this story are motivated by different forms of love which further propels the Arnav and Khushi "love" story. The question one is left asking is that will the opposites get bound by attraction or will hatred push the chasm between them even more? Will the last person they want to be with will be the same person they cannot be without? And what will be of this "love"?

Comments later ... :)

Other shows - snippets

I like -

The new SGP title track, with the theme of Ishaan's lost memory and Suhana trying to make him remember - peppy and cute, and Ragini's expressions are bang on!

The scene in Navya where Navya's parents discuss whether or not they should try to help in the problems between their daughter and her husband, or would it be taken as interference. Also liked the way Navya's father shut up his mother when she started badmouthing his girls.

I don't like ... Vidya's over-reliance on Imli, who gives the worst possible advice always.

Tangled web

Yet another article on IPKKND
IPKKND is a different love story

Four Lion Films and Panglosean Entertainment's upcoming prime time love story Iss Pyar Ko Kya Naam Doon on Star Plus is all geared to present a love story but with a difference.

Our source says, "The story will focus on the lives of Sanaya Irani, Barun Sobti and his sister played by Daljit Kaur. The story is set against the backdrop of Lucknow wherein how their life changes when they meet their right match. The relationship between Daljit and Barun who play brother and sister of almost same age will be one of the highlights of the show. Daljit will be essaying a very complex character of a physically challenged girl who walks with a limp. But this weakness will not be a barrier in her life as she will be her brother's strength and his motivating factor. Barun will be a young business tycoon in the show and his sister will also be associated with him in his business. They belong to a higher class of society and what happens when they meet their perfect match who belongs to the other class of society. Other than this Akshay Dogra and Abhaas Mehta are also part of the show. Abhaas will play a lawyer who is very positive and practical. He falls in love with Sanaya. But later his character will turn grey when he comes to know that Sanaya loves Barun and not him."

We spoke to Abhaas Mehta who says, "We have already started shooting for the show and I am very happy to be part of the show but I can't reveal anything about the show right now."

We also spoke to producer Nissar Parvez who said, "As the name suggests it is a love track. But you will have to wait till the launch to know more about the show."


And the web grows more entangled ... so the lawyer, who is the sister's love interest, is actually in love with Sanaya ... who is in love with Barun ... so does he marry the sister, or go after the sister for revenge? Or for jaydaad types?
This begins to go the usual SP masala way ... well, at least, no family drama yet ... until the mother's mysterious past kicks in :) However, the good thing here is that they seem to be tying in all the characters in one interwoven story ... and there actually seems to be a story, however hackneyed. And Sanaya is very much in the centre of it.

Oh well ... mainu ki farq paynda ... the biggest draw factor remains the same ... Sanaya in a mature love story. Bring it on! *sitting back with popcorn*

Ah, and two new promos ... in the first, I liked Sanaya - very chirpy and Sanaya-ish, and looked good even in that teekha yellow suit. And her name is Khushi ... I like that better than Payal! In the second, I liked Barun better than either of the first two promos ... looked good!

Good News

Two pieces of good news today ...

One - they finally started airing the promos of IPKKND here ... so have been watching the promo every now and then during the day :) Can't wait for the show to start!

Two - another article ... can't get enough of them now.

Sanaya is hopeful about IPK

Sanaya Irani is hopeful about Is Pyar Ko Kya Naam Dun! Feels she will bag the same fame as she did with Miley Jab Hum Tum

Her pretty face and subtle beauty made all love and applaud her! Last seen in Star One's "Miley Jab Hum Tum", Sanaya Irani is all set for her new venture. This time the girl would be seen in a different avatar and a different role in Star Plus' "Is Pyar Ko Kya Naam Dun".

In the show she will be playing the female protagonist and will be paired opposite, Sony TV's "Baat Hamari Pakki Hai" fame Barun Sobti.

Talking about this new show, Sanaya said that this show is fully based on youth but it is not the same like "Miley Jab Hum Tum". She stated that the love story which will be seen in this show deals with more mature individuals who are completely opposite to each other.

When asked the reason behind choosing this role Sanaya said that "Miley Jab Hum Tum" had many faces and everyone had his or her part kept safe from all, while in this show she will be carrying the whole thing on her shoulders. As she is the main lead it is quite apparent that the prime focus will always be on her character only. She wants the audience to see how well she can take up the leads and this will even open more doors of opportunities for her.

Hmmm'That's quite true Sanaya! We know you can do it without any problem and our best wishes are always with you.

A mature love story between two very opposite individuals *dream*

Still a youth based show ... so no saas bahu crap ... just a mature love story *dream* again

'As she is the main lead, prime focus will be on her character only' ... *totally lost in dreamland now*

*Coming back from dreamland* ... I always felt that the Samrat Gunjan love story in MJHT was way too mature for a college love story, and indeed, for the audience that MJHT had, which was mainly schoolkids with a sprinkling of young adults. Especially the first two months of Season2 which was as mature and intense a story as I've seen on Indian tv for a long, long time. And Sanaya carried it beautifully - Sanaya and Mohit both - the entire onus of S2 was on their shoulders, and they performed - and how!

So this article is really very welcome ... as Sanaya discloses that the story will be a mature love story ... her strength is in portraying such a role, she did it as Gunjan, and I have no doubt that performance is what has got her this role. So she has already proved that she can carry such a show and such a role. Even more welcome is the fact that this will be the main love story ... sure, there will be the sibling story as an important part of the show, but that is necessary, to have a strong storyline, that involves multiple characters. A simple love story would wrap in within six months! Also, again comparing to S2, one of the strengths was that all the characters were interlinked - here indications are that the same will happen, with Khushi being the connecting thread.

And again, the show will be 'youth-based- - so no saas-bahu dramas hopefully - SP seems to be slowly going off the stereotyped stuff, judging by what is currently on air.

So hopes are building ... anyway, if Sanaya is there, will watch the show. She can make even the crappiest stuff worth watching. It will be a bonus if the show is decent as well!

Finally - the date!

IPK launches 6th June

Finally we get a launch date - let's hope it's correct.

And let's also hope the promos start here ... am fed up watching Survivor and Simi and Sima ... I want Sanaya!!!

Also means we have to suffer SGP inanity for another week ... although must admit I liked Suhana in the last couple of episodes - not as brattish as she usually is, and I really felt her pain for once. Confirms my belief that her co-actor is the weak link. But I want Mahesh Thakur back ... missing the twinkle in his eyes!

And of course ... need I say it ... I want Sanaya!

Downpour ...

Yet another article ... I can't keep up any more!!! :D

Akshay dogra in IPK

Akshay Dogra in IPK - and the family grows more

Yet another addition to the rapidly growing family in IPK ... are they planning to make this a family saga spanning three generations or what?

Ah, and I don't know what the name smoosh of Payal and Arnav will be decided, but the name smoosh of the families was a no-brainer - Raizada and Gupta = RaiTa!
By the time this show starts, I will have bheja fry! Papple, I miss you at times like these! :D

Back!
