One of our loyal fans has unearthed a rather startling phenomenon on the small screen. Turns out that most of the series on Star Plus have been featuring separation sagas where the lead characters are unable to meet each other, thanks to myriad reasons. As stated by our reader, we take a look at the show…read on:

Jaana Na Dil Se Door: In this high-octane romance drama, Atharve and Vividha are unable to become one…due to family oppositions and issues. Even though they are very much in love. Sigh.

Mere Angne Mein: Even in this typically middle-class fare, the leads- Riya and Shivam-are unable to meet up due to the strict matriarch. Will the lovebirds ultimately unite? Let’s wait and watch.

Suhani Si Ek Ladki: Suhani and Yuvraaj, who are very much in love, are unable to unite because of their personal differences. If family oppositions weren’t enough, we have a couple that’s fighting over each other’s views.

Saath Nibhaana Saathiya: Gopi and Ahem’s tragic love that ended with Ahem’s death. Despite the many differences, they were wonderfully in love. Alas!

Yeh Hai Mohabbatein: The star-crossed lovers aka Ishita and Raman have faced many tragedies together. They are madly in love, but they are forever away from each other. We want them to be together, don’t we?

Siya Ke Ram: Lord Rama and Sita stayed apart for a long time because Ravana abducted Sita while she was on vanvaas with her husband and brother-in-law. Even though she had to give an agneparikha, their love is eternal. After all, Ram and Sita’s kundalis matched all 36 gunas.

Humko Tumse Ho Gaya Hai Pyaar Kya Kare: The brand-new show has just started heating up, but the lead pair of Anokhi and Tushar are only seen fighting. While we desperately want them to unite, there’s no love between the duo so far…

Diya Aur Baati Hum: The progressive pair of Suraj and Sandhya faced many challenges because of Sandhya’s ambitious ways. While Suraj stood by her though the worst, they eventually grew apart. When he became paralysed, their separation became inevitable…but their love didn’t diminish. That’s the mark of true love, isn’t it?

Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: With Akshara and Naitik’s daughter falling out with her mom, the father is seen supporting his daughter. It’s obviously created a wedge between the couple.

Although Tamanna and Dahleez wrapped up last week, they too embodied the separation track. While Mihir and Dhaara stayed apart from time immortal, misunderstandings paved way for Adarsh and Swadheenta's parting ways.

After so much of heart breaks, we are dying to see some love in Star's newest entity, Ishqbaaaz!!!
