Television audiences are going through a wave of nostalgia as two of Ekta Kapoor’s most loved shows—Kumkum Bhagya and Bade Achhe Lagte Hain Naya Season—have officially gone off air. Both serials entertained viewers for months with gripping storylines and unforgettable jodis. Now that the curtains have fallen, fans are openly expressing just how much they miss the on-screen couples who made these shows special.
Pranali Rathod & Namik Paul in Kumkum Bhagya
Kumkum Bhagya, which has been a household favourite since 2014, introduced multiple lead pairs over the years. But the recent pairing of Pranali Rathod and Namik Paul as Prarthana and Shivansh turned out to be a standout. Fondly called Prashiv by fans, the duo’s sizzling love-hate chemistry and playful banter became the heart of the show’s latest track. Their effortless romance and intensity made them one of television’s most talked-about couples.
With the show now off air, viewers are left yearning for more of Prashiv. Many have taken to social media, demanding to see Pranali and Namik paired again—whether in a new show, a web series, or even a music video. The charm of Prashiv continues to trend, proving just how deeply the audience connected with them.
Harshad Chopra & Shivangi Joshi in Bade Achhe Lagte Hain Naya Season
Meanwhile, Bade Achhe Lagte Hain Naya Season also left behind a strong fan following thanks to Harshad Chopra and Shivangi Joshi as Rishabh and Bhagyashree. Despite their track being relatively short, their on-screen pairing quickly became a favourite. Harshad and Shivangi, both powerhouse performers, brought warmth, maturity, and heartfelt chemistry that touched viewers instantly.
Now that the show has wrapped up, fans have been vocal about missing this duo. Their social media pages are flooded with edits, throwback clips, and emotional posts, showcasing just how much the audience wishes the story had continued.
Both Prashiv (Pranali-Namik) and Rishabh-Bhagyashree (Harshad-Shivangi) have left lasting impressions. While one couple delivered fiery passion, the other offered emotional depth and quiet intensity. With both shows already off air, the void is strongly felt by loyal fans who are holding on to their favourite memories.
The question now lingers: whose absence stings more for you? Is it the crackling romance of Prarthana and Shivansh from Kumkum Bhagya or the soulful bond of Rishabh and Bhagyashree from Bade Achhe Lagte Hain Naya Season?
