YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE ME!! 😭😭🗣🗣

Hi,

I totally understand the obsessive need to watch the episodes with it's silly songs and enactments of said songs.

Because I am one of them.

It's just more fun that way even though it adds nothing. Plus, it's hard to find organized episodes on youtube.

Honestly, I saw the show on Disney Hotstar, but without the ads.

*Cough* I also didn't pay for it *Cough*

Hopefully you know what I mean!

Basically, there are a lot of versions of the app that don't come with shitty ads and are one Google search away.

Apart from that , Ishqbaaz was my first serial and I have only started Ipkknd so I wouldn't know their similarities yet. But Gul Khan is quite popular for recycling her tropes in almost all her serials, like the darga scenes.

So, there are always enemies to lovers, most times bordering on bullying because the female leads are powerless and the male lead is an egoistic, narcissistic, and abusive CEO with anger issues.

Then, there's a slow burn, miscommunication, misunderstandings, forced weddings, and the beast-to-human-esque transformation of the male lead.

He gets praise for doing the bare minimum. The woman gets a feeble apology (if she is lucky!) for tolerating his bullshit and being mistreated for months and they live happily ever after.

It's like if one thing worked, Gul would take it and place it in the next show but amplify it to another degree. That's how the men in her show just keep getting toxic, sometimes to the point of no redemption. It's a ripple effect that started from Arnav.

Also, I don't know which episode is 262. Hotstar has sorted it into 13 seasons. But I would suggest sticking around till the Laal Ishq episode aka the episode they have sex in. I think it's in season 11.

According to me, the show truly hits its peak in season 5 with the whole amnesia saga. That's the most fun I had watching the show. After that, it starts losing substance but there are still some really wholesome moments to stick around for.

But I think it should've ended in season 11 right after the sex, when they were all sitting at the table, everyone was happy and it somewhere concluded their journey. If I were to watch it again, that's where I would've stopped.

That's it! Sorry for the post being so long. I am a classic yapper. Hopefully, I was able to answer your question.

this is my all time fav desi quote, and it's from an old, Indian daily soap of all 😆

It translates to:

“the tales/words become (feel) more real, when you keep reciting them repeatedly by heart..

Surbhi Chandna, famed for her roles in 'Ishqbaaaz' and 'Sherdil Shergill', has become a key personality in the Indian television landscape.
