It’s Valentine’s Day – when people go all out to show their love for their loved ones, but is it restricted to one day? Unless you’re a chocolates and flower retailer, then absolutely not! Television has demonstrated how love is celebrated every day, and it’s not about the expensive chocolates and dinners at all! Let’s look at some characters who show us what everyday love is!
Sachin & Sailee – Udne Ki Aasha
A couple that became loved for representing the common people who are the major part of the audience. Sachin and Sailee have demonstrated that for love and marriage to thrive, understanding and support are needed. They have also shown that gifts and fancy dates are not required. Due to financial constraints, they have shown that whenever you can afford something, you can go ahead and buy it whether it’s Valentine’s Day or not. Their moments together are as simple as looking at the stars together or threading garlands together and a simple act as a cup of tea is enough to keep the love brewing!
Abhira & Abhir – Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai
Siblings are often the people you can turn to and easily express yourself. Since Abhir’s return to Abhira’s life, we have witnessed many precious moments of love between them, making them everyone’s favourite brother-sister duo. When Abhir met an accident, Abhira fought for him and ensured he received justice. She also gave him comfort and confidence to rise again. Now as he gets married, she is seen fulfilling her duties as a sister and their love only gets stronger.
Mannat & Food – Mannat
Yes, we know Mannat has many relations too but let’s acknowledge that one’s passion can also be your love! Mannat has a deep love and passion for food and this love has fuelled her dreams to become a chef. Even as various challenges come her way, her love for what she does and her culinary skills give her strength, and the fire to overcome all she faces. So be sure to never ignore one of your biggest loves which is your passion!
Mangal & Kusum – Mangal Lakshmi
Television’s best saas-bahu duo has set an example with the love they share every day. Mangal and Kusum have both faced many troubles, but they become each other’s strength and the love between them helps them rise above it all. They feel a sense of home and comfort in each other and are often seen confiding in each other. This duo not only shows us what real love is but also gives us a new way to think about love.]
Doree & Gangaprasad – Doree
Since birth, Gangaprasad has raised Doree with love and demonstrated paternal love which is rare to find on television. Their love has become so strong that even as Doree has grown up, she is ready to support and become her father’s strength without a thought. Their bond is one of understanding with Ganga often fulfilling the void of a mother in Doree’s life. Even as Doree’s love story with Maan begins, it is clear that her first love will always be her baba!
As the world celebrates Valentine’s Day, let’s take the opportunity to acknowledge and realise that there is no ‘day’ of love, but love is a necessary emotion for every day!
So here’s lots of love to you reading this too!
