IPKKND Cast & Story

About the Show:

 

Sometimes the last person you'd want to live with is the only person you cannot live without. STAR Plus presents an intense love-hate relationship between two individuals in a new perspective, highlighting the dilemma of how they cannot do without one another, and at the same time cannot be with each other. Catch 'Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon?' starting June 6th, Mon-Fri at 8 pm.

'Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon' is a star-crossed love story presenting an interesting contrast of personalities entwined in a relationship swinging between love & hate. Khushi and Arnav have diametrically opposite ideologies. If Khushi believes in means, Arnav believes only in ends. Khushi's relationships are the most important to her, whereas Arnav believes all people come with a price and can be manipulated for one's benefit. Khushi, an 18 year old from UP, is simple, rooted in family and is driven by a clear moral compass. She stands for what she believes in, and never lets go of her inculcated values. She will not change herself to conform to people's shallow expectations. In stark contrast, Arnav is a 28 year old self made, ruthless, 'win at all costs' man who believes everything can be bought in the world, including love. He has no consideration for relationships and no qualms for using & manipulating people as pawns to achieve his ambitions. As the story progresses, their love-hate relationship witnesses a series of dramatic conflicts. While Arnav constantly tries to break Khushi's steadfast morals just in order to prove to himself that he can control everyone; Khushi on the other hand, tries to always follow her values & morals.

Produced by Panglosean Entertainment Private Limited, Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon stars seasoned actors Sanaya Irani and Barun Sobti essaying the lead roles of Khushi and Arnav respectively. Apart from the leads, the ensemble cast also has many well-known actors from the industry like Abha Parmar, Tuhina Vora, Daljeet Kaur Banot, Abhaas Mehta, Sanjay Batra, Deepali Pansare and Akshay Dogra. While producers Rajesh Chaddha and Gul Khan have lent their expertise to the show, director Nissar Parvez and his talented crew have infused fresh energy into the story with some aesthetically shot scenes in the classic locales of Lucknow.

So Bua's character is not what they described in the TB article,that she has a funny side,lives a colorful life and even though a widow but not very sentimental.
