Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon: Will Viraf Phiroz Patel win over the audience like Barun Sobti did?

The makers of the popular daily soap have confirmed that Barun is indeed quitting the show, apparently to find work in films. Good luck to him!
While we are still upset that the hottie Barun Sobti is leaving Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon, the makers have found a way to lift our spirits by roping in Viraf Phiroz Patel of Mahiway and Kismat fame for the role.
There is no doubt that Viraf will set our hearts racing, ‘coz he looks ‘oh-so-hot’ and sexy. The actor was last seen in Sony TV’s Mahiway as one of the leads and then in Kismat, where he captivated the audience with his suave looks and brilliant performance. Anyone and everyone who has seen these shows will certainly agree with us. But will he be able to deliver in Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon? Will he and Sanaya Irani (Khushi Kumari Gupta) be able to evoke the same chemistry that Barun brought to the small screen? Now that’s something we’ll be able to answer only after we see them together.
Arnav Singh Raizada, who is an intense and complicated character, is arrogant and showcases very little of his romantic side. And that’s exactly what made him so adorable, no? His equation with Khushi initially bordered on love-hate until he came out of his shroud of denial and decided to marry her. Since then, the romance between them has made audiences go gaga. Giving Arnav a new face is a bold decision in terms of TRPs, as many ardent followers have complained and threatened to quit watching the show.
We think that Viraf is probably the best replacement for Barun. Giving him the benefit of doubt, we believe that Viraf will indeed raise the bar of the show. And just in case it doesn’t work, they can always end Iss Pyaar…, right?

Viraf Patel not that good looker but Mohit Sehgal would be best match for Sanaya Irani and Barun Sobti can GET LOST HATE HIS GUTS, his an idiot. We would want IPKKND show back part 2 with Mohit as ASR and Sanaya as Khushi again and they should end Chhan Chhan show.

Don’t like Viraf Patel but still would rather have him then Barun Sobti anytime because we hate Barun Sobti because his fans ended IPKKND show and we wanted the show to continue. Would love it if IPKKND show season 2 comes and would love it if Mohit Sehgal was our ASR with Khushi. End Chhan Chhan show it’s rubbish, especially with those dogs and Farhan Khan acting.

We can’t beleive how mad Barun’s fans are and they ended IPKKND show for one Idiot Barun Sobti. Barun Sobti is a total crap actor who should be throw out of show business. Return IPKKND show with Mohit Sehgal to be ASR that would be the day and this new show Chhan Chhan sanaya Irani is beautiful and Sony Tv got a rookie actor to be Sanaya irani Jodi, he is Farhan Khan and come on get him replace with Mohit Sehgal and get a beautiful jodi

Yeah Mohit Sehgal would make a good ASR man for Khushi and we IPKKND fans love to have the show back with this jodi. No one wants Barun Sobti back and we all want him to suffer for what he did to IPKKND fans and IPKKND team. Barun Sobti and his family are responible for the end of IPKKND show and all the people who lost their jobs
