It’s been said that, love is timeless. Being one of the most profound emotions, love defies boundaries and finds its way. It doesn’t care about the societal norms, doesn’t conform to prejudices set by age-old conventions. When one finds love, the soulmates find their way to each other. The entertainment industry has never fallen short of examples of such love stories that have challenged the traditional way looking at love. Especially, Tollywood recently has witnessed such love stories and the celebration of the same. Such love-stories have inspired shows like ‘Indrani’, which has made a comeback to the Bengali television owing to its relevance and great popularity.

As ‘Indrani’ returns to Bengali TV once again, take a look at the popular couples of Tollywood who have walked past prejudices and made a family with their loved ones.

​Sohini and Shovan are the latest couple who have been a glowing example of embracing love despite all the cacophonies. Sohini, who is a well-known actress in Tollywood has recently tied knot with her beau, musician Shovan Ganguly. Shovan, who is younger than Sohini by a few years, has been dating the ‘Athhoi’ actress since last year. After a year of dating, Sohini and Shovan tied the knot on July 15, with their close friends and family in attendance.

Veteran actor Dipankar Dey and actress Dolon Roy’s relationship has been a glowing testament of love. The couple lived together for over two decades before they got married to each other in 2020. Dipankar and Dolon have an age gap of almost 26 years. However, that never came in the way of the love they share and the respect they have for each other.

​Kanchan Mullick has been in love for the third time. The actor-politician married Bengali TV actress Sreemoyee Chattoraj this year. Despite an age gap of over 25 years, Kanchan and Sreemoyee fell in love with each other and the couple is married now. Kanchan and Sreemoyee registered their marriage on Valentine’s Day this year and held the wedding rituals on March 2.

​Shruti Das, one of the most popular faces on Bengali TV, married director Swarnendu Samaddar last year. The couple celebrated her first marriage anniversary this year on July 9. Shruti and Swarnendu’s romance has often been criticized because of their age gap. However, the couple didn’t pay much attention to the trolling and haters. The couple got hitched in an intimate ceremony last year. Apart from registering their marriage legally, the couple exchanged garlands and rings. Swarnendu performed the ‘Sidur Daan’ ritual too.

Rupanjana Mitra married her long-time partner Ratool Mukherjee on April 19 this year. After dating for over six years, Rupanjana and Ratool took their relationship to the next level.

However, Rupanjana found her happily-ever-after with her son Rian and husband Ratool.
