Guess what we're calling 'Ishqbaaaz'..

TV shows right now have some amazing titles. From 'Dil Se Dil Tak' to 'Zindagi Ki Mahek', we have series defining titles that fit just right in the beginning of the show.

However, as the plot progresses, the daily soap begins to deviate and move away from it's initial story that was introduced to the audience. And, we began to wonder if the show tags really are relevant anymore.

There are a number of shows however, that could do better if they aired under another shows title! Scroll through to fin out apt names that fit with the tracks in some of your favourite shows -

Ishqbaaaz

'Isqhbaaaz' started as a show promising us knights of love against arrows of hatred. It's the story of three brothers, the Oberoi family and their daily relations. The brothers show their audience different shades of love, compassion and family bonds. However, we couldn't help but notice how twisted these relations can get. Among the three Oberoi brothers, Omkara and Rudra are sons of Jhanvi, and Shivaay (Nakuul Mehta) is born to a different mother. They share a father in Tej Singh Oberoi (living under the same roof). Tej's mistress Svetlana lives in the mansion too and is engaged to Omkara. She also has an agenda to kill Jhanvi, Omkara's mother who is still married to Tej. Do we need more evidence of messed up equations?

Beyhadh

Beyhadh has some seriously messed up psychological plots. We see Maya (Jennifer Winget) being the sociopath she is and Saanjh (Aneri Vajani) doing her best to keep sane and fight for righteousness. But, Arjun (Kushal Tandon) somehow keeps going back to being bewitched by his wife. Maya has time and again entrapped Arjun, who at this point hasn't learnt from the past. He became what Maya wanted in spite of rebelling briefly. We now have Arjun following and believing his wife like a 'Ghulaam' and we wonder how long he'll be stuck in the void!

Kasam Tere Pyaar Ki

Tanu on 'Kasam Tere Pyaar Ki' was declared dead on the show. However, by sheer will power of the fans and the love for the lead pair's chemistry (we're just making guesses) she was revived! There was a prophecy on the show that ties the love birds Rishi (Ssharad Malhotra) and Tanu together, returning her to him as Tanuja (Kratika Sengar). We love how the dramatic flash backs play out reminding us 'Koi Laut Ke Aaya Hai' regardless of the reasoning against it!

Sasural Simar Ka

Everything from the show's name to the plot takes away the individuality of it's protagonist. The title suggests that the focus in on the sasural. Simar (Dipika Kakar) goes from being sister to a bahu and even in parenthood the show moves towards the character guiding her children in marriage leading us to believe that the show isn't aptly titled. With Simar turning into a fly, we get a visual metaphor of her identity crisis. The show would do better under the title 'Shakti... Astitva Ke Ehsaas Kii'. And, we begin to ponder how powerful identity can be.

Shakti... Astitva Ke Ehsaas Kii

This trio on 'Shakti.. Astitva ke Ehsaas Kii' is rather unusual. We have Saumya (Rubina Dilaik), a kinner and her sister, Surbhi marries her husband, Harman (Vivian Dsena). All this while while Harman and Saumya's love is public knowledge. Saumya also goes as far as decorating the pair's room for their marriage night. The shades of love in this show are rather non traditional and colourful to say the least. A cherry on top is the part where the three head to a honeymoon together.
