In an age of anti-heroes where unfortunately there is no difference between angst and outright abuse, Arnav stands out as the perfect blend of an anti-hero – mysterious with a touch of good heart. There is an effort behind the creation of Arnav Singh Raizada.
While a great share of that credit lies on Barun Sobti – the incredibly talented actor who brought him to life – a significant part of this is his characterisation. He starts as trouble but ends up becoming everyone’s dream man. He was everything not on the family TV.įrom rejecting social norms and customs to being a declared atheist – he was more human as a character with his nightmares, trauma and its continued effect on his perception of the world.
In the era of kitchen politics, embellished sarees, family drama and sacrificial queens swooped in an anti-hero who would receive everyone’s disapproval. So unattainable that he becomes everyone’s fascination – our Heroine’s included. So here I am, nine years later, trying to decode the fame, buzz and cult status IPKKND achieved beyond its impeccably talented cast and chemistry of the two leads. The brand of romance on TV suddenly turned to broody, jaded heroes and sunny heroines who hide their tears behind smiles.ĭespite all this, none quite lives to the original. Romance is universal, but no one brought the magic of Mills and Boons to the table like IPKKND. It started as a simple romance show but with time turned into a (nearly) cult romance classic. The Law of Diminishing Marginal Utility states that the more we consume a product, the less it satisfies us over time.Īnd Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon (IPKKND) is a great contradiction to that law.
