Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon - Ek Jashn -- Episode 1

The first episode is finally here and it`s truly a blast to watch (all 17 minutes of it). 3 years ago, I stated that if the show were to ever make a return, I'd be open to reviving this blog again......and three years later, the show is finally back. Albeit for only a short time but still, we worth the long wait.


The episode begins with a retelling of Arnav and Khushi's love story, from how they first met (and continued to meet), how they hated each other and how they later fell in love.  The 2 and half minute recap may not be long enough to tell their story but it does its job to a tee in taking us down memory lane.

We're three years into marriage, with Arnav waking up and calling out for Khushi. After a few attempts (with no Khushi responding) Arnav wakes up to see Hari Prakash bringing his morning tea. Before that, Arnav's told that he must listen to Khushi's message first (which is presented on an iPad). First thing she says....Laad Governor. Khushi is really unhappy with Arnav; which to his dismay he can't recall why. She even warns him from asking Hari Prakash the reason for her anger. She questions Arnav how he can forget today and asks him to remember what happened three years ago.

Unfortunately, Arnav has no clue. Hari Prakash receives a phone call from Khushi, where he swears he hasn't told Arnav anything. Unfortunately, he lets it slip that it's their third wedding anniversary.......something Arnav has forgotten yet again!

Arnav can't believe it's been three years since they've been married......and he's forgotten their anniversary each time. The first year, gave her a surprise party......3 weeks later. She later then only spoke to him via actions for a week. Second year, she gifted him a watch......he gave her chocolates from the duty because he forgot.....and that too on a day where she was fasting. He knows he's in trouble this year so he needs to do something quick (especially after getting an angry face message from Khushi).

Arnav then takes everyone down memory lane; recounting how he first met Khushi, what she was like and some of their most heated encounters (ie. first day at the office, the construction building site). All in all, he still can't believe that he, Arnav Singh Raizada ended up married to a girl like that. And to be honest, I think everyone else thinks the same thing. The episode ends with Khushi calling up Arnav, asking if he`s badmouthing her and stating she's leaving, which gives us the impressions she was listening in the whole time.

The first episode of IPKKNDEJ is a light hearted welcome back to the world of its parent; IPKKND; keeping in tune with the feel, the moments and the characters personalities. Khushi still calls him "Laad Governor" he still says "What the" and dresses in his trademark business suit style. The only thing that's changed is time where we've so far seen a very different Arnav (remember what he was like in 2011??). With only 1 episode in, let's what more IPKKNDEJ has in store for us. A link for the first episode can be found below:

***On a side note, a few things we've discovered from this episode:
- Arnav has forgotten each anniversary....including the current one
- He can't ask Hari Prakash for coffee. According to Khushi, he must do his own work
- In order to appease his wife, he's willing to decorate the house, blow up balloons and even wrap gifts
- Aman makes an appearance (via a phone call).....and yes, even he remembers it's their wedding anniversary
