Their dashing looks, charming personalities, and hilarious jokes always leave their passionate fans wanting more. Their superb acting, dialogue delivery and chemistry have rendered both actors multiple accolades. The lead actor’s exit from the popular television serial created headlines, and the show was forced to shut down by popular demand. Which two actors am I talking about?

You guessed it, Barun Sobti and Sanaya Irani!

Two of the most all-time loved stars in the television industry, Barun and Sanaya know how to steal hearts away on and off screen. Being a fan of their hit show, Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon myself, here are 7 ways you know are one crazy fanatic too!

1. You watch and re-watch episodes of Iss Pyar Ko Kya Naam Doon

This one is a given, but you religiously watch and re-watch IPKKND episodes without fail! Regardless of family events or commitments, your life revolved around Arnav Singh Raizada and Khushi Kumari Gupta from 8-9pm when the show was on air.

2. Now that the show is over, you satisfy your desire by watching the show’s scenes on repeat

You’re guilty of mindlessly spending hours on YouTube watching scene after scene of Arshi (Arnav + Khushi). Admit it, you’ve watched them dance to Teri Meri at least 10 times. Make that 11 now! 😉

3. Your dream man/woman is Arnav/Khushi

From the way Khushi innocently blabbers to the way ASR says, “What the”, who wouldn’t want their love interest to be like Arnav or Khushi?!

4. Rabba Ve is the theme song to your life

If anything remotely romantic happens in your own life, you secretly wish Rabba Ve played in the background. Whether it was the happy or sad version, Rabba Ve melted your heart every time it played.

5. When you heard the news of Barun exiting the show, you were heartbroken

When Barun decided to exit the show, you couldn’t imagine anyone else replacing him. So whether you spammed emails to the producers to bring him back, comment on IPKKND fan threads to shut down the show, or sit at home depressed with a tub of ice cream, you’re not alone.

6. You know the Balwant Kaur song by heart

Besides Barun and Sanaya’s sizzling chemistry on screen, the entire cast of IPKKND had an awesome relationship off screen too! You’ve definitely watched Akshay Dogra, Barun and Sanaya sing the hilarious “Balwant Kaur” song they made up on the sets.

7. You’re conflicted about Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon Ek Baar Phir

When the makers of the IPKKND announced their new show starring Avinash Sachdev and Shrenu Parikh, you were conflicted as to how to feel. While the storyline is similar to the original show, it’s just not the same. So, you either love it or hate it. No in between.
