Dear Devi Maiyya

A Tellywood confessional

[dear-devi-maiyya]

DDM,You remember that Khushi's seeing Arnav everywhere scene? Well, I know you do. Hahaha the best was "Shubh Dipabali Khushi ji" *and Arnav smiles* was so hilarious. And my favourite extra in IPKKND is that auto driver,"Aree oo madam,auto na chalau to kya hero baan jawoon? Na jane kaha kaha se chale aate hain" Ludicrous!

I see your autowala and dhobi and raise you ASR as a security guard. But my weakness for men in uniform is legendary --

I made you a gifset :)

Dear DDM, Agent Jalebi needs to file a confession. I feel Arnav Singh Raizada looks EXTREMELY HOT, post marriage, on absolutely useless scenes. Like the Hut SR attempt #1, and the Janmasthami SR attempt #2. It's terrible that he's so well built, lean, sexy (that one lock of hair on his forehead, shoulders, fitted black suit, ugh) on scenes that didn't need him to be. This is crime. Same for Khushi. They have no right being so hot aise hi. Phew, over and out. Send my love to PS. AJ

dear devi maiyya, ever since I rewatched the show I can’t make Jalebi without thinking about out Jalebi queen

Dear DM, probably an unpopular opinion, but my most favourite time Arnav says ily is "I love you the way you are Khushi" during their remarriage date because bitwa says it so casually but from the heart and it's so sweet cuz it's the absolute truth 😍 Khushi's "Hum bhi aapse I love you damn it" is still my most favourite time either of them says it though cos CUTENESS OVERLOAD

I rewatched IPKKND in lockdown. For the 4th time. Then somehow detoxed myself from this dope. Then I found PS randomly on Google and the addiction started again. Now I am like, "Study (nafrat)paas aane na de,mahabbat*For PS* duurr jaane na de".

Dear Devi Maiyyaa, i am just a 19 y/o girl who hates traditional outfits. and now i have a wedding to attend. and i really don't know what to wear. and i am as clumsy as your devotee Khushi. i keep falling/slipping here and there all the time. aap bas hume ishara dijiye ga (about outfit) aur humari raksha kijiye ga. shukriya DM.

A sequined top and a coordinating pleated skirt for a “lengha”? Pair with a contrasting dupatta stolen from another outfit.

DDM, Hello, this is about the music in IPK. Due respect to every singer/music composer, but I REALLY DISLIKE "kyun dard hai itna" and how it's EVERYWHERE after some point. (The instrumental is ok & I secretly love JUST the end of it). But it's too... on the nose? They should've stuck with something Sufi tbh - "Tu Hi Bata" is freaking amazing & I'm in forever grudge that they didn't expand "Rabba Mere, Kya Hai Teri Marzi" or any of the soundscores from the promos. - S (Give aashirwaad to PS

Dear Devi maiyya.... so Khushi and arnav’s Bet at the beginning of the show always confused me. If Khushi has won would Arnav have changed his legal name???? I mean good for Khushi but if it were me I would’ve asked for a payment of one lakh from asr🤷🏽‍♀️

[dear-devi-maiyya]

ddm, i feel like instead of khushi&arnav, anjali should've adopted aarav. 1) anjali was rlly excited about being a mom but her wish was unfulfilled due to the miscarriage. 2) the many misunderstandings of khushi&arnav's relationship were finally cleared around the time aarav entered so quality alone time was vital for them before a major step.(kids) 3) anjali was upset that she was losing arnav to khushi, but if she adopted aarav, a mini ASR, she'd still have a piece of her chote to herself. :)

Hi DDM, I am rewatching ipkknd for the nth time now and somehow this time I haven't stopped even after watching it on original and then the rewind too! Also, I have picked up this habit of saying 'what the' out loud! Yesterday I said that in my office when i was stuck on some work!

[dear-devi-maiyya]

dear devi maiyaa,i almost ignored ipkknd madness after seeing it n no.of times n doing gud n then suddenly i tumbled over phati sari tumblr n this madness started again,is it u who got me here again to feel this love of arnav khushi or u think i dint laugh enuf on mami's jokes or is it becoz i dint curse shyam(ew!)much

[dear-devi-maiyya]

Dear DM, I just realized that mami and Khushi are so similar. They both have overactive imaginations, love sweets, colurful clothes and bollywood.

They both eloped with the eldest son of the household, they both love dancing and music, they’re both selfless when it comes to the people they love, they both take responsibility for the wellbeing of those around them, they’re both loyal to a fault ...

[dear-devi-maiyya]

DDM, I feel like not enough is said about Nk and Khushi's friendship. Ipkknd managed to keep their friendship intact and wholesome till the very end despite the fact that Nk used to like Khushi. A lot of tellywood shows use the tired trope of jealous ex suitors coming back to ruin the leads lives so I think it was incredibly refreshing that they didn't turn Nk into a cringy wannabe villain types.

[dear-devi-maiyya]

DDM, I feel like Anjali was actually the most tortured character on the show. Her parents died on her wedding day, she was being emotionally abused and used by her husband, she lost her baby, and during that time she misunderstood Arnav's intentions she was insecure about losing her brother, which considering the fact that they've only ever had each other is a big OUCH.

[dear-devi-maiyya]

DDM, we do not give Mami the credit she deserves! I just found out there's a movie called Khoon Bhari Maang ( I'm probably late to the party) but omg. Mami is so clever & witty (and sometimes mean) Time to start a Manorama Fanclub

Dear Devi Maiyya, was the extra that somehow managed to pop up in all the iconic scenes in IPKKND ... really you in disguise?!?
