Rangrasiya
Parvati, affectionately known as Paro, loathes the Border Security Defence (BSD) officers, holding them responsible for the murder of her loved one. Get lost in this classic story of love and hate and more love, starring Sanaya Irani and Ashish Sharma.

Ek Vivah Aisa Bhi

It has it all: meddling mothers-in-law, former love interests and 176 episodes. Binge-watch it here.

Tumhari Paakhi
Based on the novel Naba Bidhan by Saratchandra Chattopadhyay.
