9 Years of Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon (9 of?)

“Khushi main-”

“-hum jaante hain.” Arnav and Khushi, talking about stars, love and themselves.

[”Khushi I”- “I know.”]

The first and last of their iconic moments (excluding Ek Jashn).

“Woh ladki Khushi hai Di, jiske bina mujhe aisa lagta hai ki meri saansein ruk jayegi. Maine kabhi nahi socha tha ki mere zindagi main aisa hoga. Par aisa hua. Bohot pyaar karta hoon Di main usko.” Arnav, to Anjali.

The first and last of their iconic moments (excluding Ek Jashn).

“Humne bhi unhe aise kabhi nahi dekha.” Khushi, to Payal.

The first and last of their iconic moments (excluding Ek Jashn).

For a woman of words and sentiments, it is a surprise that Khushi has never truly seen Arnav for the longest time. She has felt him, touched him, loved him and cried for him - but seeing him? 

From the first time she ran into his arms, stood as he untangled the fairy lights and evoking new desires in her, stood right into her path, or quietly listened and allowed himself to be consoled by her faith in the stars... 

To having his arm naturally wrap around her, unleashing what the desire truly meant, intentionally flirting with her by standing in her path, and telling her that he too has faith in her stars...

“Khushi, Arnav ji bilkul waise nahi hai jaise humne socha tha. ?” Payal, to Khushi.

The first and last of their iconic moments (excluding Ek Jashn).

From the first time he gazed at a part of her left behind, the moment Khushi’s breath hitched when he leaned forward to do her seatbelt, her surprise at his tenderness to his sister, when he caught just when she stumbled, the first time her dupatta gets stuck to his cufflink.

Every sign that showed that Arnav was different than what she had imagined. He is a romantic, for all his temperament he does, gently, hold on to the smallest moments. He exercises a right, not over her, but for her - even for something silly like a seatbelt. He is a loyal brother to Anjali, a woman Khushi grows to love as her own. No matter how many times Khushi stumbles, he is always there to catch her. And the dupatta? The honest accident morphed to pure intention. If there was anyone who could hold her like that, it was Arnav Singh Raizada.

“Dekhna, jab tumhare zindagi main woh aayegi na, tumhe pata bhi nahi chalega, aur woh tumhari zindagi ban jayegi.” - Anjali to Arnav.

This is first and last time of their iconic moments (excluding Ek Jashn).

The story is incomplete without the legion of Prakash’s. 

The ones who bear Arnav baba’s temper, Anjali didi’s puja preparations, Mami’s orders, Lakshmi’s hide and seek adventures, NK’s Hindi, but above all, are a faithful ally to Khushi Kumari Gupta (Singh Raizada).
