Punar Vivah (Sanskrit/Hindi: पुनर्विवाह, meaning "Remarriage") aired on Zee TV from February 2011 to July 2013. The series starred Gurmeet Choudhary as Yash Sindhia and Kratika Sengar as Aarti. Unlike typical Indian soap operas focused on joint family conflicts or romantic melodrama, Punar Vivah centered on the social stigma and emotional rehabilitation associated with second marriages—particularly for a widowed father (Yash) and a divorced mother (Aarti).
This story centers on Raj Jakhotia and Sarita . Raj is still in love with his college sweetheart, Divya, and treats his ten-year marriage to Sarita as a mere obligation, never accepting her as his wife.
The series is divided into two distinct seasons, each focusing on the complexities of remarriage in Indian society. Season 1: Zindagi Milegi Dobara
