MUMBAI:Fans love nothing more than following the real-life love stories of their favorite stars, and actors spend a long time on set, some of which turn into real-life relationships, and others find love outside of the industry.

Despite the common belief that it's unlikely, maintaining a friendship with an ex-partner is indeed possible, as evidenced by these five couples from the Indian TV industry. 

These pairs were once deeply in love and seen as relationship goals, but today, they have transitioned into a mature and amicable friendship.

1.The first couple, Kritika Kamra and Karan Kundra, who starred together in "Kitni Mohabbat Hai," were a beloved TV duo a decade ago. However, their romantic relationship didn't endure, and they decided to go their separate ways.
