The buzz around Tum Dena Saath Mera is clearly strong, and a big reason behind it is the return of Sriti Jha and Shabir Ahluwalia. Their pairing as Abhi and Pragya in Kumkum Bhagya received immense love, making them one of the most celebrated on-screen couples on Indian television.
However, the real question remains—will they be able to create the same impact as Aparajita and Rakshit?
In the past, many popular jodis have returned to screens, but not all managed to recreate their earlier success. One major reason was repetition. Most of these comebacks happened in the same shows, often in later seasons, where comparisons with their previous performances became unavoidable.

This is where Tum Dena Saath Mera stands apart. Sriti and Shabir are not revisiting old characters. Instead, they are stepping into completely new roles with a fresh storyline. This gives them the space to build a new connection with the audience without the baggage of their iconic past.
The story itself adds curiosity. Aparajita appears to be running away from something—possibly a painful past or a broken relationship—while Rakshit comes across as calm and easygoing. Their contrasting personalities could shape an engaging dynamic, making their journey worth following.

The 9 PM slot on Star Plus further raises expectations, as it has previously worked in their favor. Viewers already associate this time with their earlier success, which adds to the anticipation.
That said, strong casting alone cannot guarantee ratings. The storytelling, consistency in plot, and emotional connection will ultimately decide the show’s fate.
Sriti Jha and Shabir Ahluwalia undoubtedly have the talent and fan support. Whether they can turn Aparajita and Rakshit into another iconic pair is something only time will reveal.
