If you really wanna watch simple undramatic love stories, you should check out these shows:
Bin Kuch Kahe (from the makers of Aisha)
Everest (from Ashutosh Gowariker)
Rishta.Com (from YRF)
Pyaar Ka Dard Hai Meetha Meetha Pyaara (this one has a bit of family drama here & there but all the characters are very likeable and the leads were also likeable and never got ruined. Easily the best Rajshri show. Also no kidnapping/murder/all that shit)
Bade Bhaiya Ki Dulhaniya (too bad it got scrapped after 50eps+ but it was beautiful)
Gulaal - this is not a simple story, and its pretty complex. But quite a masterpiece (i dare say) given the sensitivity with which the story was written & executed, the brilliant acting and cinematography. Easily one of the best shows that ITV has produced in the last decade.
Sumit Sambhal Lega - adorable family:)
Just realised all the good shows are from BW production houses lol..
