Karan Kundrra, Reem Shaikh and Gashmeer Mahajani’s new show Ishq Mein Ghayal gets mixed reactions from netizens, read tweets

Tere Ishq Mein Ghayal which premiered on television on Monday, February 13th, has made a lot of buzz already for its plot and actors. Fans went on Twitter after watching the show and shared their views about the new show. Many of them compared it to the English series, The Vampire Diaries as the TV show is a remake of it. Netizens loved Karan and Gashmeer’s acting in the show, especially their fight sequence. Fans also loved the title track and were seen sharing glimpses of it on Twitter.

In the first episode, we see Gashmeer Mahajani making an entry as Armaan and returning to his old ancestral home. He falls for Isha (Reem Shaikh). Further, in the show, we see Karan Kundrra as Veer. He plays the brother of Armaan. In one of the scenes, Armaan and Veer get into their werewolf avatars and fight. Arjun Bijlani has made his comeback with the show and is seen playing a werewolf, too.

Netizens shared some positive and negative reactions after seeing the first episode, Ishq Mein Ghayal. Let’s look at some of the comments. One of the fans wrote, “THIS PARTTTTTT THEY WERE PHENOMENAL OH MY GAWD THEY KILLED THIS SCENE @kkundrra.”

Another tweeted, “ His screen presence is something else you can never get enough of him. It felt like the episode ended too soon after his entry…His presence is that powerfulVeer is going to be everywhere TERE ISHQ MEIN GHAYAL PREMIERE.”

One more tweet read “Song is really good tbh especially when starting — " ishq mein ghayal mein bhi .. " One of Arjun Bijlani's fans also commented about his role. “After several months of absence from the screen, he returned with a very impressive and powerful performance. It was a fun scene and this transformation performance was very very wonderful. Seriously, I enjoyed watching this performance a lot.”

On the contrary, some of the viewers also commented about the show not living up to their expectations as they compared it with the original English show. One of the comments read, “What a mockery of a cast is this? Who did the casting? And why the hell was Mr. Gashmeer crying foul when he was being compared to Stefan, saying it's not a copy? WHEN IT SO CLEARLY IS! The characters, the plot, the twists EVERYTHING IS COPIED.”

Another user wrote “Will people kill me if I say the first episode of #junooniyatt was 1000x better than #IshqMeinGhayal despite having big names in it! Cz in the end story and execution matter to me which the latter one lacks big time!”

One more person added “#IshqMeinGhayal saw 1st epi, this is a joke right? Sorry KK fans but he looks awful in this show. They both look too old & tired. Also both Damon & Stefan had beautiful chiseled faces, capable of playing broken hearted villains/heroes. These 2 fighting will need ben-gay after”.

The show stars Karan Kundrra, Gashmeer Mahajani, Reem Shaikh, Arjun Bijlani and others. The first episode of the show premiered on Monday and fans were quite eager to see their favourite actors. Unlike other regular TV shows, Ishq Mein Ghayal will premiere from Monday to Wednesday at 9 pm.
