In spite of being an ardent follower of IPKKND, I know the show has serious social issues which were conveniently ignored in the name of artistic expression. This is my may of removing those stigmas. The characters and story of Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon is not owned by me and all the credits for them goes to the original creators of the show, including the images used.

The story of a naive Khushi and a kind hearted Arnav together at the wrong place at the wrong time.

Keep your acquaintances close... but your enemies even closer. That's exactly what Khushi Singhania did. She got close to her rival. Her nemesis. Her storm. Arnav Singh Raizada. The name she was raised to hate. The man she was ordered to destroy. But no one warned her what happens when the enemy looks at you like you're his entire world. Or worse-when you start to look back. And everyone knows... You can never trust an enemy. Because when they backstab... they never miss the heart.

Khushi Kumari Gupta was happy. Her Arnavji came and married her but due to the ongoing tension Arnav proposed to move to Sheeshmahal their ancestral property. Khushi nodded feeling finally she'll get the love for her husband but she never knew she'll be facing a new problem.

Blurb Two families. One legacy of hatred. And four hearts that never stood a chance. Muskaan Malik and Rahul Gupta were supposed to grow up on opposite sides of a battlefield, heirs to business empires that have been at war for decades. Instead, they fall in love in the quiet corners of university life - where 1loving each other doesn't feel dangerous... yet. Their secret romance is a reckless gamble. A fragile truce in a world built on rivalry. The fierce, sharp-edged Armaan Malik - is locked in a corporate cold war with Riddhima Gupta, the brilliant daughter of his family's sworn enemy. What begins as disdain and rivalry turns into something neither of them can control: desire, tension, and a connection that feels like fate. But when hidden loyalties, family politics, and long-buried secrets begin to surface, love becomes the most dangerous weapon of all. And the war between their families? It's nothing compared to the war inside their hearts. Disclaimer © @fizalicious101, 2025. All Rights Reserved. This work is an original piece of fiction created and owned exclusively by the author.

He is order. She is chaos. Arnav Singh Raizada's life is measured in profit margins and deadlines until Khushi Kumari Gupta threatens to dismantle his silent world one jingle at a time. She shouldn't belong in his sleek, perfectly ordered universe. And yet, he can't stop noticing her. This is a fanfiction based on Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon? set in an alternate universe. Story, concept and everything else except the characters' names belong to me. That said, I do like to include elements and references from the show here and there and in those cases complete credit to the makers. Please do not copy.

Arnav craved for love and attention but mistook the bare minimum validation for love. Khushi just like Arnav craved for love and validation and she mistook the bare minimum validation for love. But now, they were done sacrificing their lives for their respective ungrateful family. They only have each other to lean on and they were now ready to be selfish. It was now them against the world but will their bond last as secrets and twisted truths are exposed. The story starts from the aftermath of the kidnapping and Shyam being kicked out of Shantivan.

In a world of simple joys and unexpected adventures, a small-town boy Arnav Ji and a small-town girl Khushiji find themselves tangled in moments that are anything but ordinary. With a dash of mischief, a sprinkle of heartfelt chaos, and a whole lot of laughs, let's witness their journey.

A different take on IPKKND's story starting from Arnav's kidnapping fiasco. Was the kidnapping really to hurt Arnav or was it to scare Khushi? Who was the real thorn, Khushi or Arnav? Who will really suffer Arnav or Khushi?

My take on one of the most crucial points of the show from where the story could have gone anyway, when Arnav calls Khushi "the biggest mistake of my life"
