    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. ๐Ÿ˜˜

    As for this utterly drool worthy Arnav, Central Park here I come!

  • anupamachand567

    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

  • 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.

  • vrunds

    Thanks for posting this story again…. I was waiting to read this story as have seen very good comments on this story in IF but before I can get the chance to read the story was removed. Now am happy as you have decided to re-post it. Will wait for the story to start here

  • divsk

    Jigs, I am thrilled to hear Stripped is back !! ๐Ÿ˜˜โค๏ธ
    I have heard wonderful things about this marvelous tale. I am excited that I will finally get to read Stripped.
    Looking forward to joining the sisterhood of Strippedeans !! ๐Ÿ˜˜๐Ÿค—

  • 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!

  • aafrahipk

    Congratulations Jigs on the relaunch of your first story! I haven’t read it as of yet, but after reading Revealed and Temptation, I can only bet it was will be amazing!

    Sorry I haven’t been around lately ๐Ÿ™ it’s been extremely hectic with the little one, with no help and hubby traveling. Though I have been reading it every spare moment I can get. Hoping to comment soon, pakka promise!

    • Chokri_ASR

      Hi Aafrah! No worries my dear, please there is no rush for comments… as long as you are reading is all that matters ๐Ÿ™‚ Hope you and the baby are doing well! Can’t wait to have you on this adventure… Welcome to Stripped!

  • atakeofitsown

    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 ๐Ÿ˜€ — I can’t wait to have the chance to read this! Thank you for sharing your writing with us.

  • thefirstrays

    I can’t tell you how happy I am that stripped is back! ๐Ÿ˜€ 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 ๐Ÿ˜›
    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! ๐Ÿ˜€

  • rizib

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

    Wow… So happy to have you relaunching Stripped..

    The first story that got me hooked onto your work .

    Waiting patiently….

  • Jayeeta (tuli_jayee on IF)

    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.

  • 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 ๐Ÿ™‚ So happy to have you on board once again my dear M!

  • The Girl of Ravens

    I’m so excited, dear Jigs. I thought I would not be able to read it but what a good surprise in my birthday month. I’ll take it as a birthday gift ๐Ÿ˜€

    This story I am determined to follow from the beginning..

  • rainysunset

    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.

  • Lovetoread08

    Hello,
    Iโ€™m a new reader from IF name Lovetoread08.
    I have heard a lot about this story and finally Iโ€™m able to read it on your blog. Usually strip has many shades of meaning but mostly it involves removing something. Iโ€™m so intrigued,as how you will shape this story. As me reading this first time, so damn excited to join this journey of yours. Iโ€™m 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 itโ€™s 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 ๐Ÿ˜‚

  • sehnila

    All set to read “Stripped” ๐Ÿ˜€ ๐Ÿ˜€ ๐Ÿ˜€ 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 ๐Ÿ˜€
    Loads of love
    Sehnila

  • sansid123
