High above the earth is just where true love allowed Khushi the freedom to soar. I’m so looking forward to reading Stripped again. It was an incredible, inspiring journey. Belief in yourself, in your hopes and ambitions, while staying true to yourself makes attaining every goal possible. You have her show it so beautifully here. ๐
As for this utterly drool worthy Arnav, Central Park here I come!

Yay, I’ll be reading it for the first time. So so excited.

Meri Jaan,
It was half way through Stripped that I first joined the Jigs bandwagon! And you have not disappointed once! What can I say, for me that has been as much a journey of finding friendships and kindred souls in a virtual world. It was I believe through starting to comment on Stripped that I gained a degree of accountability about commenting on the stories I read on this lovely Jodi of ours, who has become as real as some of the people we may know in our Asli duniya!
So yes, gained a great deal, and for that I do have to say thank you! I will certainly join you as we retread this path….it is sure to be as memorable a journey the second time around! Waiting and all the very best, Girl.
Hugs,
Anu
Chokri_ASR

canapoem
Stripped is one of my favorite fairy tales of Arnav and Khushi.
Yes Jigs, it is no less than a fairy tale for me and I have told you this earlier too, many times.
If in the fairy tales I read as a child, the prince would come on a white horse to sweep the princess away, in “Stripped”, he came as her boss, friend, lover and husband to give Khushi, her “happily ever after”, when she thought such men hardly existed in the present world.
Thank you for re posting this story and I am absolutely thrilled to undertake this journey again with you and all the “Strippedeans”.
rk2127
So happy that Stripped is back.
A story which introduced me to your writing and made me fall in love with you writing as well as the Arnav and Khushi you create, always an equal.
Can’t wait to read it again.
Chokri_ASR
You are so sweet, RK! I am so glad to have been introduced to you as well during the Stripped journey!

Looking forward to another rollercoaster ride of passion with ‘Stripped’. I will be reading it for the first time.

The ride is definitely filled with lots of passion and love, though not as bumpy as the Revealed and Temptation ๐ Looking forward to your thoughts… Welcome!

Haila…. twice a week?!?! Sorry won’t be feasible with my current on-going story Temptation and editing Stripped ๐ Not enough time in the day even if I wanted to…

Thank You. Atlast got an oppurtunity to read it

I can’t wait to read the story.

Waiting for your updates
bablubli
Yippeeee..thank you Jigs for bringing Stripped back! A lovely story like this one deserves to be savored again…and again!
But please don’t be too hard on yourself…the previous version was beautiful as is. I guess it is a feeling most authors have when they revisit an older work…it is not that it was ever bad or cringeworthy … it is just that you will naturally have grown as a writer.
Jo bhi hai jaisa bhi hai…hum sab yahin honge so please post at your convenience.
Lots of love & hugs coming your way!
Chokri_ASR
I am taking all your love and hugs and sending them right back to you!
You will see there isn’t much that I am changing with Stripped, as I don’t want to lose the essence of made everyone fall in love with. Some minor tweaks to make it crisp, and make grammatically changes, bas.
bablubli
Thank you for all the love! Can’t wait to read it…again!

Jigs!!Thanks for the invite. I’m eagerly looking forward to read this one:)

Hi Jigyasa !
I read Revealed and fell in love with the story, It is one of my favorites and thankfully by the time I completed it, you’d started Temptation so I didn’t have to do without your writing for too long ๐ — I can’t wait to have the chance to read this! Thank you for sharing your writing with us.
Chokri_ASR
Thank you so much for reading my work… looking forward to have you on Stripped!
thefirstrays
I can’t tell you how happy I am that stripped is back! ๐ It is one of my favorites. I have already read it quite a number of times. The last I read was when you had decided to remove it, sneaking in between exams ๐
I had joined the journey of Stripped from the middle. This time I am going to enjoy the ride from the beginning!
I am so so so excited! ๐

Wow Jigs!! Congrats on this relaunch!! I’m so so happy!!

I have heard a lot about your first creation ‘Stripped’ & I can understand how special it was to you. Unfortunately , I didn’t got the chance to read it. So, thank you for giving me a chance to read this story of yours.
Chokri_ASR
So glad to have here… thank you for taking the chance ๐
theincandescentlights
May I just say YAY!!!
I’ve always been in LOVE with this story! I was so upset when you took it down. It used to be my pick-me up when I was down. The Arnav of Stripped is ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE!! I love him! Can’t wait to revisit and reacquaint myself to the same characters and the story that I love so much. After all it was this story that brought me to you and your incredible talent of spinning tales.
I’m so on board! Though I don’t know why you feel the need to edit it but to each his own!!
Loads of love,
M.
Chokri_ASR
The edit is really version of clean-up on grammar, and tightening up some areas. No worries, I will not change anything drastic. The essence, concept will remain as is ๐ So happy to have you on board once again my dear M!
Archana
Loved the fact that you brought it back …. thank you so much …… and All the best !!

Yay! you are back with one of my favourite stories. Thank you. This is one story which I will love to read it again, and I reread only very few which can promise me that it will not lose the magic if I read again. Please bear with me for my irregular visits and being the worst at commenting. All my energy drains out with an overactive toddler at home.

Thank you for coming back to read again ๐ And I can totally understand, so glad to have you here as time permits!

Lovetoread08
Hello,
Iโm a new reader from IF name Lovetoread08.
I have heard a lot about this story and finally Iโm able to read it on your blog. Usually strip has many shades of meaning but mostly it involves removing something. Iโm so intrigued,as how you will shape this story. As me reading this first time, so damn excited to join this journey of yours. Iโm an ardent fan of Arshi also love to read fan fictions related to them. I came to know about your skillful mastery of writing stories on Arshi. Also, you are a popular writer. It would be pleasure to read. A look at your blog itโs mesmerizing I really loved the cool warm color. The blog is designed to make its content readable at a glance. Thank you for writing such beautiful stories and will definitely catch with all six chapters.
Aj
I started reading these fan fictions few months ago and i have to apologize as i am a silent reader. But but but..i feel so ungrateful when I do see what an amazing writers are there and how I suck even to write a line on how good it is. You are one fab writer! I can never do justice in expressing how beautiful you write.
I am looking forward to reading this and I do feel sad when I hear people reading this second time..oh how I missed it ๐
Jigs~
Welcome to the world of Fan Fictions! It’s like hitting a gold mine, I remember when I first discovered them. Hope you enjoy Stripped!
Jessie
Ahhh…. am here to read it again. So looking forward to reading this story.

All set to read “Stripped” ๐ ๐ ๐ Just a little jealous of the people who read it the first time though lol…..I am gonna go slow with this one so that it takes time to finish reading the chapters! I want to stay lost in the worlds that you create with Arnav and Khushi ๐
Loads of love
