Most loved on-screen TV couples: Ram Kapoor - Priya Sharma, Kartik Goenka - Naira Singhania, and more​

Indian television has given us love stories that don't just feel like fiction—they feel like warm memories. We literally grew up watching these couples fight, fall in love, and stick by each other, making us all believe in the magic of "happily ever after." These couples left a lasting impression on our hearts and showed what true chemistry looks like, whether it was a passionate college romance or a stable, mature relationship. Let's travel back in time to explore the romantic icons that set the standard.

​Ram Kapoor and Priya Sharma — ‘Bade Achhe Lagte Hain’

Ram Amarnath Kapoor (Ram Kapoor) and Priya Sharma (Sakshi Tanwar) taught us how mature love can be beautiful. Their bond on the show felt real, grounded in companionship, trust, and second chances. Viewers connected deeply with their silence just as much as their words. Today, Ram Kapoor was last seen playing the rival lawyer Vikram Rai Chaudhary in ‘Jolly LLB3,’ while Sakshi graced the screen in the Netflix series ‘The Royals.’

​Arnav Singh Raizada and Khushi Kumari Gupta — ‘Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon’

These two became absolute pop culture icons. Barun Sobti as the stern Arnav Singh Raizada and Sanaya Irani as the bubbly Khushi Kumari Gupta created magic. Who can forget his angry "Khushi Kumari Gupta" or her playful "Laad Governor"? Their story was the ideal balance of humor, angst, and passion. On the current work front, Barun is now leading acclaimed projects like ‘Kohrra,’ ‘Rakshak,’ and ‘Raat Jawaan Hai.’ Meanwhile, Sanaya continues to maintains a strong connection with her fans through her buzzing social media presence.

​Shivaay Singh Oberoi and Anika Trivedi — ‘Ishqbaaaz’

Nakuul Mehta and Surbhi Chandna owned every single frame as Shivaay Singh Oberoi and Anika Trivedi. They affectionately called each other as "Billu ji" and "Kanji Aankhon Wali," on the show. Their bond on Star Plus’s ‘Ishqbaaaz’ was electric. The show delivered high-voltage drama and emotional vulnerability, but it was their sharp banter that made them unforgettable. Currently, you can catch Nakuul on ‘The Indian Parent Pod’ with his real-life partner Jankee Mehta. Meanwhile Surbhi made her OTT debut in ‘Rakshak- India’s Braves: Chapter 2.’

Karan Singh Grover and Surbhi Jyoti won everyone over as Asad Ahmed Khan and Zoya Farooqui. They were total opposites, and fans loved it. Their playful fights were the best part of the show. He called her "Miss Farooqui," and she teased him as "Akdu Ahmed Khan."‘Qubool Hai’ was a beautiful mix of love, faith, and modern life.

As Kartik Goenka and Naira Singhania, Mohsin Khan and Shivangi Joshi carried on the tradition with an exciting fresh energy.
