#Valentine'sDay: The 5 Stages of Love every TV couple goes through..!!

Valentine's has put us into the mood for Love and we're looking back in retrospective, on the many stages it comes in. Love, like any enchanted story, has a beginning, a middle and a sweet build up resulting in a final union. The bond of love is worth all the phases a couple must go through. Our TV couples have gone through a bunch of emotions of their own as they explore the depths of everything, from adoration to expressions of love.

Here's a list of lovely couples that owned the stages of love they've been in.

Stage 1- The Dramatic, Blink and Miss First Meeting:

This is the stage where you crossed paths with someone bound to play a special part in your life but you don't know it yet. It makes the initial stage of love a little unpredictable as we anticipate the first glance. Teni and Parth share a blink and miss moment in Dil Se Dil Tak as they come this close to seeing each other and fate pulls them away in the blink of an eye. Aditya and Jhaanvi in Woh Apna Sa too, have multiple "almost" run-ins before they finally see each other. And, we think this phase is the start of something new.

Stage 2- At Loggerheads

We all know love is built up from a bad first impression. Every couple, if destined to land up together must go through a patch where they absolutely cannot converse without fighting or teasing each other. This adorable stage of love is full of nok-jhoks, the kind that Dev and Sonakshi had in Kuch Rang Pyaar Ke Aise Bhi. Anika and Shivaay in Ishqbaaz went through quite a personality clash too, which took a while to get over. This stage is an important one for ironing out the differences between a couple.

Stage 3- A Budding Soft Corner

Soft corners lay the foundation of a good love story. It all starts when one of the leads goes soft on the other. We saw Naina aka Drashti Dhami turn a loving gaze at Raghav, marking a new phase of love in Pardes Mein Hai Mera Dil. This stage is rife with stolen glances and jitters as the love bug creeps in. Tanuja felt her soft corner for Rishi on Kasam Tere Pyaar Ki and we all know the sweet exchanges that followed. This stage is a delicate turning point filled with promise.

Stage 4- Aadha Hai, Aadha Hojayega

This is the phase where one-half comes to terms with their feelings for the other. Here the hero or the heroine has begun to realize that this must be love, but the object of their affection is yet to throw in a glace of adoration and return the feelings. Jaana Na Dil Se Door had Ravish fall for Vividha from the very beginning and we couldn't wait for Vividha to return the affection. Jamai Raja had Satya fall for Mahi first and Mahi, gave their love story a lot of potential.

Stage 5- The Realization

The Realization is the most satisfying of all the stages of love. It may not be the end of the love story but it is the final stage in which love is complete. We cannot get enough of Maya aka Jennifer Winget and Arjun reveling in mutual affection on Beyhadh. They nailed the stage of love and so did Kartik and Naira on Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai. The two pairs gave their journey of love a major turning point as they realized this must be love in its purest form. This stage knows no doubt and we love how the TV couples get to look at each other with a flame in their eyes.

We absolutely adore how TV couples get through the different phases of their relationship, connect the dots and melt into the union of love. It doesn't have to be perfect, a genuine spark and some chemistry to fan the flames is enough.
