The generation leap in TV fiction is a growing trend that has found more prominence and emphasis in recent times. Hindi TV has always been seeing such generation leaps in long-running shows. However, earlier, the leaps happened after a good run of more than 4-5 years on average. However, we are seeing leaps sooner in TV now. A show which has had good popularity ends up taking the generation leap in 2-3 years. We have seen many such generation leaps in popular shows on Hindi TV across GECs.
We at IWMBuzz.com take the time of talking about the popular lead Jodis which has withered on screen with time, but has left behind its fragrance and memories with its fans!! Yes, the popularity of lead Jodis is destined to happen if a show is well-appreciated and rakes good numbers. In many cases, when such leaps happen, it no wonder takes the story to a new fresh start, but also leaves a bad taste as the viewers cannot see their favourite Jodis onscreen again!! And what’s more tragic is that, the Jodis are shown to be killed in drastic and deadly accidents which are tough to handle!!
So here we list such Jodis who are memorable even today!!
Mohsin Khan and Shivangi Joshi from Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai:
Together called KaIra, Mohsin Khan and Shivangi Joshi were the heart and soul of Star Plus’ long-running show Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai produced by Rajan Shahi’s Director’s Kut. After ruling the TV screens for years, Kartik and Naira bid adieu to the viewers to make way for the newer cast to come in and establish their new feat. They were shown dead in the show. Even today, Kartik and Naira’s Jodi remains etched in memories of TV fans.
Shabir Ahluwalia and Sriti Jha from Kumkum Bhagya:
Called AbhiGya, this Jodi from Zee TV’s Kumkum Bhagya were eternal lovers who could not be separated even by death. They died together, holding their hands, in this Balaji Telefilms show. Shabir Ahluwalia and Sriti Jha as the lead Jodi of Kumkum Bhagya, were top favourites. Their opposite natures attracted, and one could see a positive vibe created with the Jodi being around onscreen.
Avinesh Rekhi and Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia from Chhoti Sarrdaarni:
Sarabjeet Singh Gill and Meher, played by Avinesh Rekhi and Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia in Colors’ Chhoti Sarrdaarni, were a pride as a Jodi to watch. Sarab, a man with complete purity in heart and soul, and Meher who was equally compassionate made for a good pair.

The show produced by Cockrow and Shaika Entertainment recently took the leap with the new generation cast getting introduced. A tragic flight hijack was planned in the show to give the fitting climax to the Jodi. They were shown dying from the bomb blast that happened inside the flight.

Ankit Gupta and Priyanka Chaudhary From Udaariyaan:
Colors’ show Udaariyaan saw the beautiful love tale of Fateh and Tejo, played aptly by Ankit Gupta and Priyanka Chaudhary.
