IPKKND main series has 405 ep but I can't find ep from 399 .. can you help me with it

Hello @noyontara2603,

The main series has 398 episodes, the rest are a part of IPKKND Ek Jashn, which was made in 2015 (oh my gosh it is now 2025).

Links to watch are in my FAQ.

Hello Ps .. hope you are well !! Firstly I never thought I will be writing this to you or anybody ever .. entire credits goes to you for making me write this

My addiction to IPKKND got to to you and now I’m addicted to your work and I go on and on reading you blog /posts every time I wanna divert my mind and feel happy

Great work and only question I want to ask you is , in ipk rewind, Arnav is seen saying kushi is in London as she started her own sweet shop .. does that mean they are staying separately or they shifted to London now

I can’t wait to hear from you

Thankyou in advance

My daughters name is kushi .. thus my name

Heyy @kushizmom :)

o0o0o wow what a great name :D Thanks for the compliment, I super appreciate you reaching out and being so kind!

in ipk rewind, Arnav is seen saying kushi is in London as she started her own sweet shop .. does that mean they are staying separately or they shifted to London now

I don't think it means either of those things and I wouldn't think too hard about it. It was a way to explain Irani's absence from the Rewind -- she really shooting something in London at the time so someone probably just thought they were being clever. At the most, it might indicate that Khushi travels to London alone when she needs to take care of her shop, but that's unlikely given how terrified she is of flying ala Ek Jashn.

I don't think there's much to be gained by trying to analyse Ek Jashn or the Rewind. No one cared about character consistency or deeper meanings, they just made something that shat on the canon and called it a day.

Thanks for asking!

Hello there, i have a question have you write and discuss somewhere here about Ek Jashn? I wanna know what do you think about it.. TIA

Hello!

My thoughts on Ek Jashn are captured here, and in the tag here. Thanks for asking!

Hi PS🤗 How are you doing? Hope all is well at your end. If IPK was aired in 2021 hopefully AR would’ve have had offices abroad in USA, Australia ;) so Arnav & Khushi would get time to themselves while they traveled to these countries for “business”

Heyy @barshifan :)

I’m okay, plodding along! Hope you’re okay!

I love the idea of Arnav and Khushi travelling, it’s been a popular suggestion!! Aakash and Payal basically did what you’re suggesting -- they went to help Mama in the US office. 

Maybe Arnav does have an office in Sydney! That would explain the picture in EJ:

Hello hi bye bye phati sari!! How have you been? My question is: in the show we see Arnav mentioning twice about having children with Khushi. First during the Janmashtami and then during the Sheetal track. We don’t see Khushi talking about kids in the show. IPKKND portrayed Arnav as someone who doesn’t like children at all. So could you explain what changed for him? Also during ek jashn when Akash told him that Khushi wants to talk about kids, he seemed really confused. Doesn’t match right?

Hi,

I don’t agree that IPKKND portrayed Arnav as “someone who doesn’t like children at all”, and I think it was simply character growth. This was covered in detail here.

Ek Jashn made absolutely no attempt at continuing the canon or maintaining consistency with it so I don’t think they need to match.

Heyy!! Hope you’re doing good. Have you watched IPKKND 2 and if so, what are your thoughts about it? Thank you!

Hello!

If you’re asking about Ek Baar Phir, then nope I haven’t watched it. If you’re asking about Ek Jashn, there’s a post that captures my thoughts here and a tag here :)

Hey! Firstly, I loved all your works. But Rishta has been my absolute favourite. I have read this FF multiple times and each time I get awestruck by this amazing creation. I had one question about IPKKND ek jashn. The one scene where Akash tells Arnav that Khushi wants to talk to him about babies, later they didn’t disclose that. I wanted to know about your perception about that. Hope this isn’t too much. Keep up with the good work. God bless you.

Hello!

Thanks for reading my stories, I’m glad you like RISHTAA :D

Everything about Ek Jashn is here and here, but just quickly in regard to the whole ‘Khushi wants to talk about children’, I firmly believe it was a hook to gain audiences for something they’d planned to follow.

I think EJ was the channel’s way of dipping their toe in the water to see what appetite audiences had for a sequel, but they grossly miscalculated and assumed that everyone was watching for Barun Sobti as Arnav Singh Raizada. From a marketing point of view, it went about as well as a brick trying to swim, and they’re back to the drawing board on that one.

Hey Phati Sari, I just discovered the existence of Ek Jashn! I see that its a whole section on this blog, but am sort of scared to look in it because of potential spoilers. Is Ek Jashn worth the watch? From what I gathered online its a handful of mini episodes of the cast 3 or so years later. If its bad I would rather not wreck the original for myself by watching a half-baked sequel. Would you recommend watching it? Thanks for your advice

Hello!

I reckon Ek Jashn is worth watching once. I don’t think of it as canon – I found Arnav and Khushi to be fairly out of character and the scenario itself doesn’t make too much sense. But it was sort of fun to see how the writers, producers and directors interpreted the characters three years on. There are only eight episodes, each about 10 minutes long, so you can sprint through it easily. 

I don’t think it’s bad … I just don’t think it’s very good hahaha. But like … when else are you ever going to see Aakash making a sex joke? Or Arnav making bhaang? Or find out what Anjali is doing now? 

The strength of Ek Jashn is that bitwa speaks to the audience and admits to a lot of things we had to infer. I enjoyed that (but I mentioned all of them in my recaps so I felt vindicated haha). 

I reckon you should watch it, but make sure you’re in a frame of mind where you consider it as a fun extra that won’t ruin the original. Otherwise, it’s pretty safe to skip :)

I hope that helps!!
