June 6^th 2011, is a day that is forever etched in our hearts. For this was the day a magic by the name Arnav and Khushi entered our lives. They brought, still bring joy to our hearts. We lived every moment of their togetherness.

Here is a beautiful poem written by DurgaS that refreshes our IPKKND memories.

For eighteen months ran the show

Eighteen months since we saw it go

Three years since it got us tied

Raaba ve on, we are still stupefied 

It happens when a show shuts down

The craze diminishes, everybody moves on

But IPK has reversed the trend

The fan base has only widened

What's the reason?, while some analyse

Watching again and again, becomes the premise

As dubbed ones, remakes and reruns thrive

They've helped to keep the show alive

So dupattas fly, while the gazes continue

A mesmerising hi, which still sounds new

Sighs, laughs and cries, we get even now

In an abyss of love, we happily fall down

Jo pehle hua na, ab hone laga hai

Nuttier and nuttier, dil hone laga hai

On this third anniversary we need not be sane

So let's rock and party, while going dhak dhak again

I have compiled a thread which will take you back to those wonderful days. Here's a chance to relive it. What are you waiting for? Scroll away. :)

June 6^th2011 had made us embark on special journey called IPKKND which is the common factor for we ArHians on India-forums.

Millions of people worldwide watched the Saga of Raizada and Gupta family and continue to do so. .Also, dubbed versions in Telugu ,Bengali, Kannada etc...paved way for increment in the number of fans , going gaga over Arnav and Khushi.

"Nafrat paas aane na de, Mohabbat door jaane na de"...the tagline of IPKKND aptly describes the whole story in one line.The story, brainchild of Gul khan , was the core strength , along with fantabulous performance by the whole cast.

The story started with Lucknovi girl Khushi Kumaari Gupta, full of life, beliefs, morals, principles, family values, funloving carefree; engaged in the wedding preparations of the her beloved elder sister Payal Gupta. Sashi and Garmi gupta, were their loving parents...hoping the best for their daughters.

Fate had other plans, when Khushi Kumaari Gupta crossed path with the ruthless business tycoon Arnav Singh Raizada aka ASR. If she believed in means, then he believed in end; If she believed in love, he believed in hate;If she was the calming moon, he was the blazing sun. Such was their contrasting personalities...yet they kept crossing each other's path as if some some unknown ties always kept them pulling towards each other.

The first meet of Arnav & Khushi aka ArHi happened admist the whole world, when she fell straight into his arms. For Arnav , Khushi always evoked unknown emotions right from the beginning.

It wasn't surprising when he actually made her life hell, by pulling various tactics.Eachsituation was bravely confronted by Khushi which bruised ASR's ego.

Enter into picture was the charming , sugary coated villain Shyaam Manohar Jhaa; besotted by Khushi, trying his best to get into her life and woo her ; inspite of him being married to Anjali Raizada , beloved sister of ASR.

Family values is something which is prominent throughout IPKNND.

Madhumati , the lovely buaji of Khushi , was always effervescent with her Hai Re Nandkisore chants...loved her nieces very much. Arnav's family consisted of his maternal grandmother, Devyani Raizada , his mama Mahinder Raizada, his mami Manorama Raizada, cousin Akash Raizada. 

Owing to his dreaded and painful past , Arnav grew up to be a strong person , but with major trust issues. When khushi entered into his life like cascading river, he tried his best to shield his heart ,to get away from her...yet he was pulled towards her.

When Khushi secured Job under him; lots of What the's and Hey Devi Maiyya were uttered frequently. Verbal fights, pull and push where common scenario in the office.

Same things happened when they crossed path again when Khushi was appointed as a teacher of Indian values to his ultra modern Girlfriend Lavanya Kashyap. Lavanya, a dusky beauty , loved ASR dearly and hence embarked on the journey to woo his Grandmother with the help of her aid Chamkili i.e Khushi . 

But somewhere Khushi started making way into ASR's heart.Lavanya gracefullybacked out on seeing love in the eye's of ASR for khushi. But these confused mates where still at the loggerheads. However, things mellowed down when Khushi's sister Payal engaged in a relation with Arnav;s brother Aakash. Two families where now officially related. Circumstances changed, so did Khushi and Arnav's feelings. The damn was broken. Arnav and Khushi started to feel for each each other.

But as we say , life is not bed of roses...Arnav and khushi too witnessed a  storm  in their life called Shyaam Manohar Jhaa.He created ugly misunderstandings between them which made Arnav take extreme step in anger - a contracted marriage for 6 months in hatred so as to protect his sister's wedding. The wedding was done, tears were shed, yet Khushi was blamed by Arnav for every single deeds. Khushi, being the fighter she is, pushed away her feelings for him and started to face him bravely. Their nok jhoks continued ...however , one fine day Arnav was kidnapped by shyaam manohar jhaa, who was hell bent on destroying everything that come in his between  Raizada money and khushi,

Khushi who wasn't aware of Arnav being kidnapped, followed her intuition of seeing Arnav in danger, seeked help from Nandkishore (Arnav's cousin ) and mami...embarked on journey to find him.

As her intuition was confirmed, she tried her best to get Arnav out of clutches of Shyam for which she had to risk her own life and she did it too.

Arnav was saved by her .Their love triumphed. She proved her innocence in his eyes...however Shyaam didn't backed out. He used support of his pregnant wife Anjali , to gain entry into Raizada household in order to create havoc.

Meanwhile Arnav -khushi started their own sweet life .With remarriage in cards , forofficially making Khushi as Khushi Arnav Singh Raizada for eternity, Arnav paved way for beautiful life with Khushi.

After exposure of Shyaam , Arnav-Khushi tried their best to bring happiness in the life of their sister ..which they were successful in doing so.

Raizada household was once again happy and content...But here entered Ms Sheetal (Arnav's ex girlfriend) along with child Arav. She made Arav as her bait in order to lure Khushi in trap in of misunderstandings.Arnav cleared picture soon and she was thrown out. However , they adopted Arav as their son .

In order to be independent, gain knowledge and to stand shoulder to shoulder with Arnav , Khushi wished to participate in the Mrs INDIA contest. After much cajoling Arnav agreed and she took part and  won too.

In short, the above sketches the overall outline of IPKKND, the most largest forum of India-forums, with ten thousands pages and most numbers of stories too.

The only show, even after its closure, still rules heart of many .
