Romance on the small screen is very much like ours. In fact, it is common to find a love like that of a couple we watch on our favourite TV show. Television largely influences the way we see at relationships, for we become so deeply attached and invested in the life of characters we see on the small screen. We laugh when they laugh, we feel happy for their happily-ever-after and shed tears as or when they call it quits. Same goes for our jodis on leading Zee TV shows Kumkum Bhagya, Kundali Bhagya, Ishq Subhan Allah to name a few.

Thus, we rounded up seven best couples from Zee TV serials that taught us about love, relationships, and heartbreak. We couldn’t find a better pair to start with than Abhi and Pragya from Kumkum Bhagya. Having entertained us for five years, Abhigya taught us that love is all about patience and sacrifice.

Kabeer and Zara from Ishq Subhan Allah are all about loving each other despite the differences. They have their fair share of disagreements, but that doesn’t deter them from being each one’s ride or die. ZaBeer may challenge each other when they are wrong but they are equally about sharing and companionship on the road to amendments. They also taught us that letting go is sometimes a blessing in disguise.

Come on, Karan and Preeta, confess your undying love for each other already! This Kundali Bhagya jodi has always maintained hilarity despite all the curveballs life throws at them. They taught us to not take life so seriously and keep the laughter rolling no matter where you end, as long as it is together.

I am not crying, you are. Kalyani and Malhar from Tujhse Hai Raabta have been through one hell of a ride. But KalMa understood that past baggage should not get in the way of their feelings. Braving all the storms, the couple stands rock solid, together.

Guddan Tumse Na Ho Payega pair Akshat Jindal and Guddan married under odd circumstances. But Guddan practices her love for AJ selflessly! There have been times she has placed his needs before hers, even if it meant bearing a painful experience. Happiness is sweeter when shared after all.

Age gap is a big theme of Aapke Aa Jane Se. If you want a love like Sahil and Vedika, you ought to accept everything about your partner. It can sometimes get messy, tiring and even scary for all you know – but true love ain’t easy! However, with the right partner by your side, it all turns out well.

Siya and Ram’s journey is farther from the cushioned love stories. The lead couple of Manmohini has a 500-year-old witch haunting their romance. But if there is anything we can learn from Siya’s earnest dedication is that you need to tell your partner that you have every intention to meet them at the finish line. Love your partner even on days it seems like you cannot. Remind yourself why you fell in love in the first place and that they have been the only one!
