Hindi TV Serial - Pyaar Kii Ye Ek Kahaani - The serial coming to an end

The serial finally coming to an end. It was an interesting serial, since if you think of a serial with vampires and werewolves, you would think of the serial to be a horror serial, and many people would ignore such a serial. However, given the story of the serial, focusing on vampires and werewolves who live along with humans without being recognized, things get more interesting. The story focused on the love story between a vampire (who is immortal, and is also recognized as a non-living being) and a human (who becomes aware that the other is a vampire).
Things get very complex near the end, with werewolves and vampires fighting for a treasured potion that gives powers to the owner of the potion, and with a renegade vampire who is much more powerful than most vampires and werewolves (although no reasons are given as to how Mythili became so powerful), with Alina being the werewolf who would have been the nature leader of the werewolves in the fight against vampires, but who wants peace between these 2 types of ancient creatures. Further, in another twist, Arnav, is called away by the vampires and made the head of the vampire clan, leaving his family unaware of his fate and causing them great distress.
The serial ends with the fighting Jay (who wants to kill Abhay, who is now weak because he is a human) capturing Abhay and trying to kill him, but instead being killed by Arnav. In addition, Chand and Haseena are freed by the vampires (although they are vampires themselves) along with arnav and Abhay. 2 sets of marriages happen, where Misha gets married to Kabir, and finally Piya is getting married to Abhay in a grand event.
The last few months of the serial was very confusing, but it is now over.

Hindi TV Serial - Pyaar Kii Ye Ek Kahaani - The deaths of Panchi and Mythili in a single episode

For some time now, the serial had been dragging the story around a magic potion. The potion was supposed to give a huge number of new powers, and only Alina had the power to find the potion and to use it. Alina also had a special power that came into use once when she was being threatened by her own brother Jay, which caused injury marks on her own brother.
For the recent few weeks, the serial has descended into chaos. Everybody is hunting for the potion, with the werewolves, the vampires, Mythili, and others all looking for the potion inside a graveyard. At the same time, Arnab was also hunting for vampires with a group of people using instruments which apparently are able to detect a blood hunting vampire (Mythili) - one is not sure what such an instrument would be like and how it would be made.
At the same time, there is an impending romance between Kabir, where Kabir has fallen in love with Misha, but is not able to tell her. It is only when Mythili starts attacking the 2 sisters (Misha and Panchi) when she is sent off by Arnab with these 2 (when Arnab thinks that this is actually Piya), and then Kabir gets injured, is when Misha realizes how Kabir feels about her.
Things get even more complicated when Abhay is almost killed, and then the potion is the only thing that can save his life. To the horror of Chand and Haseena, they find out that the rest of the vampires were only around Abhay in order to try and get his spirit, since that would give them a lot of power. It is then that Piya and Alina come there with the potion and finally manage to save him; but the use of the potion turns him into a human and he is no longer a vampire. In the fight, Mythili is killed by the rest of the vampires, and Jay just manages to get out of there by claiming peace (but he is determined to hunt down and kill Abhay). At around the same time, Panchi also dies in hospital, never recovering from the injuries she suffered at the hands of Mythili.
It is now 3 months after these incident, and Abhay and Piya have moved to Mumbai; while Jay is wondering how to attack Abhay.

Hindi TV Serial - Pyaar Kii Ye Ek Kahaani - Abhay also under the control of Mythili, will bite Piya

The serial is again coming to a point of climax. Earlier as well, there was a lot of clash between Jay and Abhay, this being the conflict between the werewolves and the vampires. They contested over the love between Abhay and Piya, about Alina not supporting the werewolves like she should be doing, and so on. And now there is an added complication; Mythili is back into the whole game with very strong powers. She is so strong that she can take on the shape of anybody (even when the other person is not dead), and can make anybody do what she wants. And all of them are competing for a magical potion that gives the person who owns the potion incredible powers - these powers can ensure that Haseena no longer wants to drink human blood (although since she is under the control of Mythili, it may be that once Mythili is not controlling her, that urge may go away on its own); Deepanita wants the potion since control of that potion will give the werewolves more power than the vampires and also help her defeat Mythili (Mythili has also been able to control Dipannita and she is not able to shake off that control); Mythili wants that potion since it will make her invincible and prevent anybody from shaking off her control and also get Abhay to come to her.
Things are moving to a head. Mythili has taken on the shape of Haseena, and commanded Abhay to get Alina towards her; and most interestingly also kill Pia.

Hindi TV Serial - Pyaar Kii Ye Ek Kahaani - Misha getting bitten by Haseena

The serial has suddenly taken on a much more serious turn. For the last several episodes, they have been showing how Haseena has suddenly developed an intense desire for human blood, and as a result, her fellow vampires have been wondering at how dangerous she has actually become (since the vampires do not want to call attention to themselves by suddenly having a number of humans starting to appear dead with puncture wounds on their necks).
So, there has been a need to get Haseena out of the picture, and Abhay, as the leader of the vampires, agrees to this. Chand is very angry at this, but Abhay tells him that they will have a solution before it comes to killing off Haseena. Haseena in the meantime is under the influence of some mysterioous lady who wears a hood.
The situation gets even more deadly at the local festival. There, Kabir wants to make his love pitch to Misha, and so sends her a note to meet her outside. When Misha goes outside, before she can make it, Haseena appears on the scene and finding Misha alone over there, she sinks her fangs into Misha's neck, but before Misha can die, Abhay appears on the scene and tries to save Misha by using his own bite.
However, soon after, Kabir and the others arrive at the scene and see Misha lying almost dead, and Abhay very close by. Suspicion falls on Abhay, with Kabir and Arnab questioning him, and Jai trying to get Abhay into more trouble. Piya is also very suspicious about what has happened; Abhay manages to get out of the situation by claiming that she was bitten by a snake and he was trying to help her.

Hindi TV Serial - Pyaar Kii Ye Ek Kahaani - Haseena getting into a dangerous mode, bites and kills T

The serial has been moving a bit slowly for the past several weeks (the confrontation between Jay and Abhay has not happened except for some verbal dialogues). In addition, Chand has told Abhay to focus on Alina, since she seems to be the weak element of the werewolf family, and Abhay has decided to follow this. Alina also got a makeover from the others such as Piya and Misha, and looks much better with a new look. Abhay is now spending far more time with Alina, and Piya knows the reason, but she does get jealous from time to time. Jay of course does not like that Abhay is spending so much with Alina, and considers Alina to be totally useless in terms of helping the werewolf family beat the vampires.
The other major twist in the story is about the change in Haseena. Recently, there have been several cases of humans being attacked and killed, and the culprit seems to be a vampire, and after some detection, it is found that Haseena is doing this. Haseena explains to Abhay that she is getting an uncontrollable urge for human blood, and it is difficult to stop this. She even attacks Chand once. As a part of these attacks, she apparently attacks and kills T, which would mean that this would be the end of the road for T's character. Haseena also tells Abhay that the only thing that can save her is a serum which can be provided by Alina.
However, this is still not clear as to what is happening to T's character, since after her death, T calls Misha, who is shocked to hear the voice of T, who is presumed to be dead. So Misha goes off to T's house to determine the truth.

Hindi TV Serial - Pyaar Kii Ye Ek Kahaani - Piya with a doctor, trying to get her memories back

The situation is very complex. Neil has been killed, and Abhay now knows that Chand and Haseena have killed him. When he confronts them, they tell him that he did not stop them from killing Neel, only from killing Dipannita. There is a confrontation between them where both of them tell him that they do not really trust him to take the right decision for the vampires, and when he states that he wants to give up being the leader of the clan, they are fine with that decision and tell him that this is the right decision (since he cannot think properly, being always concerned about Piya).
Arnav had seen the body of Neel, and seen bite marks on the neck, and after consulting books and all, realizes that these are vampire bite marks, and that this means that vampires are indeed there in the Dehra Doon area. He tells Jay that the vampires were behind the death of Neel, and that the police should be informed. Jay thinks about this, but then thinks that maybe this will cause the police to chase Abhay, and this is what he wants, and so the police come to Abhay. Abhay turns them out, accusing them of not having done any investigation on their own, and only when they have some proof should they come.
Piya has gone to meet a doctor in order to try and get some of her memory back, and slowly gets taken back to the time when she met Abhay, and then recalls the episode where she met Mythili, and Mythili was threatening her and Abhay and this causes her to become almost in a fit like condition. Abhay realizes this and rushes towards her, and by then the doctor has realized that she has committed a mistake. Now Abhay thinks of giving back her memory.

Hindi TV Serial - Pyaar Kii Ye Ek Kahaani - Confrontation between the families and people involved

The serial is moving towards another escalation point. The proceeding are moving away from the clan of werewolves. First Dipannita was trapped by Abhay and jailed, and then removed from the jail by the whole group of vampires who take her away in order to kill her. It is Jay along with Neel who kidnaps Piya (since they know how Abhay feels towards her) in order to force Abhay to release Dipannita. And Abhay does so, even though Chand and Haseena feel otherwise. Further, Jay forces Abhay to remove his mother from the accused tag, and Abhay presents himself to the police as the actual murderer. In the meantime, Misha and Panchi find out about the kidnapping of Piya, and know that Neel was behind all this, and along with Danish, manage to go and rescue Piya from Neel (and Piya then goes to the police station and gets Abhay out of there).
Jay is very angry at Alina for whatever she has done to help Piya, and attacks her, but Alina, using a previously unknown power, gets lighting to attack the werewolf (Jay in his animal form). Panchi's parents get to know everything about Neel and decide to break the engagement so that Panchi is liberated from such an engagement.
Jay, for some reason, tells Neel to leave from there so that he is safe from danger. it could be that Neel does not have the powers that others in his family have. However, soon after Neel leaves from there, the Dobriyals find his dead body in the road and are shocked (even more so since they are going to his house to break the engagement). The precap shows that it was Chand and Hasina who killed Neel.

Hindi TV Serial - Pyaar Kii Ye Ek Kahaani - Dipannita in jail and in danger

For some time now, there serial has been showing a deep conflict between the two families, the Khuranas (werewolves) and the Raichands (vampires), with the concept being that vampires and werewolves being traditional and historic enemies who cannot stand to see each other. By now, the Raichands are also aware that it is the Khuranas who are the werewolves, and the real danger to them. Both of them use another rich family, the Dobriyals, as their pawns (and the Dobriyals are always confused with what is going on, since they cannot make out what is happening - even though individually they suspect what is happening; so Arnav saw that Haseena does not have a reflection in the mirror and is now pretty sure that she is a vampire; then Piya saw Abhay drive a wooden stake into Dipannita in the jungle, but later Dipannita was alive and well).
The rivalry is getting more intense, with Dipannita attempting to kill Chand and Haseena in the jungle, after which Abhay tries to kill dipannita with a wooden stake, but she is saved by her children (although they have to give up any chances to resurrect their older brother gaurav, for which Dipannita is very angry). The business rivalry also intensifies, with both of them attempting to spy into each other's offices and see what is happening.
One of this spying is the next attempt by Dipannita, when one of her office employees is hired by Haseena; Dipannita goes to the employees house when no one else is there and kills the employee, blaming Haseena for the murder, and the police arrest Haseena. However, Abhay turns the tables on dipannita by getting a girl to claim that she knows that Dipannita is the killer, and when Dipannita attacks the girl, by trying to kill the girl. Abhay saves her, and then the police arrest Dipannita for the murder.

Hindi TV Serial - Pyaar Kii Ye Ek Kahaani - Confused situation with respect to fighting

The battle between Siddharth and Abhay was so simple. Siddharth was the elder vampire, fighting to defeat his brother and his parents (all of them vampires); they tried to manipulate situations against each other, and then more confusion about the re-emergence of Mythili in the form of a vampire after a couple of centuries, and the confused Piya in the midst of all this. Abhay finally defeated Siddharth, and then Mythili put Abhay in a deep sleep. What caused confusion was the presence of a werewolf who was supporting Siddharth, and in the end, Abhay manages to end both Siddharth and the werewolf.
However, then the serial took a turn where Abhay was finally brought out of the deep-freeze through the efforts of Piya (who was not sure about the connection between her and Abhay since Abhay had wiped out all her memories of an year); and there was the presence of the werewolves (the family of Gaurav, the one who Abhay had killed earlier). So, it was simple, that it was the confrontation between the werewolves (led by Dipannitas) vs. the vampires (the Raichands, where Abhay was leading the effort).
In the middle are the Dobriyals, with 3 daughters, who are all involved in some way or the other with these 2 sets of families, and who periodically are confused over what is happening all around them. Now, Arnab seems to have figured out that the Raichands are vampires, and wants to expose them (and they keep on arriving at his house for him to expose them); the next situation is that Dipannita wants to take revenge on Piya for whatever happened to her son Gaurav (who is not yet fully dead in some form - he is still present in a coffin, and Dipannita wants to bring him back).
Dipannita attacks Chand and Hasina, but Abhay comes in between and stakes her, with Piya thinking that Abhay has killed Dipannita, but Dipannita is saved through the combination of her daughter Alina and using the presence of the undead Gaurav (who because of being used for saving Dipannita cannot be brought back to life); and then Jah also does not really like targeting Piya (but is possessed by Gaurav when he attacks Piya). It really is getting very confusing.

Hindi TV Serial - Pyaar Kii Ye Ek Kahaani - Constant changes in the relations between key people

The serial seems to be losing its touch and becoming boring. One of the key features of the serial besides the inclusion of vampires and werewolves was the fact that the serial moved fast (unlike the traditional saas bahu serials), and the viewers did not get bored. However, that seems to have changed, and the story line of the serial has started dragging a bit. The storyline also seems to be getting a bit confused; recently the serial did something that was abhorrent - they devoted huge chunks of one episode to the promotion of Reebok, and I was very disgusted with that.
Currently, Abhay has the quest to keep Piya safe, but at the same time, prevent her from getting involved with him. So, he first strikes a deal with Misha that he would pretend that Misha and he were involved, this would also ensure that Piya would stay away from him and not get involved. During the course of this, Misha also learns that she was thinking wrong about Abhay, and he was a decent person. Then next, Piya learns that this affair between Misha and Abhay was a drama, and so, Misha tells Piya that actually it is an affair between Panchi and Abhay, and since Panchi is engaged, she has to hide this affair. And Piya accepts this; although with some brief portions of her memory coming back, she realizes that she has deep feelings for Abhay as well. So, like most times in the show, she remains confused.
Abhay is even more confused than Piya, since he cannot figure out who the werewolf is. He knows that there are werewolves in the house, and that Dipannita is not who she is (Danish has been doing all the investigation). Dipanita's younger son, Jay, believes that he is in an affair with Piya (although Piya remains confused as ever); and Abhay suspects that all this is also part of a plan to trap and kill him. And now they have introduced another character, Alina, shown to be Dipanita's daughter. Whenever she and Abhay look at each other, it is pretty clear that there is some tension in the air.

Hindi TV Serial - Pyaar Kii Ye Ek Kahaani - Chaand in grave danger after being mauled by werewolves

For a year, Abhay and the Raichands were away from the area after the events involving Siddharth. Abhay was in deep freeze, but finally Piya managed to get him away from there and back into the land of the living. Further, the memory loss that Abhay gave to Piya has been causing Piya a lot of problems. She has forgotten the past 1 year of her life, but slowly Abhay is coming back into her life, causing problems for everybody else involved.
The major issue driving Abhay is that there are 2 issues in the whole story. One is that he needs to protect Piya no matter what, while at the same time ensuring that she does not get involved with him again. Further, there is the conflict with the werewolves, whereby the wolves had got to know that Abhay was back and were out to get all the Raichands.
In addition, there is the competition between Dipanita (who is the new powerful rich person within Dehra Dun) and the Raichands, who are one of the powerful families in DehraDun. And it turns out that Dipannita is not who she claims to be, since the real Dipanita died some time back. For this, Haseena has been using Danish as her investigator, which ends when Danish is found out on CCTV inside Dipannita's office and is warned off by the police. Further, Danish is attacked pretty severely.
But before all this, Chand is caught outside by the werewolves and is badly injured, going into a coma like stance for which the apparent solution is only if he is administered the blood of a werewolf, and this needs to be done within 7 days or he will die. Abhay decides to hunt the werewolf and so goes back to the college, to the surprise of all.

Hindi TV Serial - Pyaar Kii Ye Ek Kahani - Abhay decides to stay away from Piya after seeing her with Jay

The serial keeps on moving fast, which is one of the parts that I like about this serial. Unlike some other serials, this serial moves with a lot of speed and gets its mini-stories over fairly quickly.
The story had come to a significant point after the 1 year in which Abhay had spent in the ice after being entombed by Mythili, but there was a loophole, that the true love of somebody could liberate him from the ice, and after that, it was a just a question of when Piya would come and set him free. And with Abhay communicating with her from below the ice prison, it was pretty clear that the moment would come soon, and so, Pia did manage to get Abhay free from the ice. Abhay still managed to keep himself away from Piya, since he wanted her to lead a normal lie and not get stuck with a vampire (Abhay) again. But he had promised that he would do whatever it takes to ensure that Piya remains safe and that he would protect her at all times.
The story is also taking along 2 budding love stories. Neel was in love with Panchi, but got offended when she rebuffed him, and decides to take revenge by actually carrying out an engagement with her and then dumping her. She is shocked when he tells her this, and maybe this changes her outlook a bit, since they her softening in terms of attitude towards Neel. Jay also hated Pia, but they show him softening towards Piya, and her also softening towards him.
This gets amplified when all of them go for a bike ride, and where Pia falls down from the bike after an accident and gets lost. Abhay leaves his house (after arguing with Chand) and finds her, and after he hands her over to Jay (without revealing himself), finds himself surrounded by werewolves who have gathered to kill him. It is at this time that Chand and Haseena arrive and together the 3 of them scare the werewolves away, but this will not be the last confrontation between these vampires and the werewolves; also because the mother of Jay and Neel is shown to be a werewolf herself.
