Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon? (IPKKND), aired on Star Plus, quickly transcended typical daily soap opera tropes to become a cultural phenomenon. Unlike the saas-bahu (mother-in-law/daughter-in-law) dramas that dominated the era, IPKKND focused intently on the central couple, Arnav Singh Raizada (ASR) and Khushi Kumari Gupta. This paper argues that the show’s success lay in its chemistry-driven storytelling and the subversion of traditional gender dynamics within a conservative family setting.

Abstract This paper examines the Indian television series Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon? (2011–2012), analyzing its narrative structure, character archetypes, and its significant contribution to the "Golden Age" of Indian romance dramas. The study explores how the show redefined the 'angry young man' trope through the character of Arnav Singh Raizada and utilized the "enemies-to-lovers" formula to achieve cross-border popularity, influencing digital fandom culture in the early 2010s.
