Life OK, India's fastest growing Hindi General Entertainment Channel is ready with a differentiated love story, Tumhari Paakhi. The show premieres on 11th November at 9.30 PM.

Based on legendary writer Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay's popular novel 'Navvidhan', the show explores the intricacies of human relationships and the delicate yet complex bond of love. The story is about the handsome but selfish and powerful businessman from Shimla, Anshuman (Iqbal Khan) and pretty but simple and good natured tourist guide from Chittor, Paakhi (Shraadha Arya). The two were married in their childhood; while Paakhi is waiting for Anshuman to acknowledge the relationship, Anshuman on the other hand is unaware of the relationship. As circumstances force Anshuman to go to Paakhi, will destiny play its part and get them closer? Or will Anshuman and Paakhi walk their separate ways, away from each other?

Commenting on the launch, Ajit Thakur, General Manager, Life OK, says," We at Life OK believe in introducing and building characters that every individual can relate to. We believe in every day heroes standing against the tide, battling situations on the basis of resilient values. The show is inspired from Sarat Chandra's renowned novel Navvidhan, and we are going to bring it alive in the viewer's drawing room. With Tumhari Paakhi, we are innovating and venturing into a whole new genre of general entertainment, book inspired fiction. We are confident that Anshuman and Paakhi will become household names among the audiences soon."
