Love is complicated. Now add in a two-month trial period, conservative Rajput families, and two people who could not be more different, and you have Pyaar Testing. This upcoming ZEE5 Global romantic drama takes the idea of arranged marriage and flips it on its head. Instead of diving straight into tradition, the couple decides to test their relationship first. The result? A series packed with romance, humor, and cultural clashes that make for a must-watch.
Love, But Make It a Science Experiment
Set in Rajasthan, Pyaar Testing follows Amrita Singh Chauhan, an animal rights activist and vegan café owner, and Dhruv Pratap Rathore, an architect with a passion for water conservation (and meat). Their worlds collide when their families try to arrange a marriage. But Amrita has a different idea, before saying “I do,” why not try a two-month platonic live-in relationship to see if they are actually compatible?
This is not your typical love story. Pyaar Testing asks the question: Can love survive logic, or is it doomed from the start? The series explores whether relationships can be measured, tested, and calculated or if love is just one big, unpredictable mess. And judging by the trailer, the answer is somewhere in between.
Opposites Attract… and Then They Clash
What makes Pyaar Testing stand out is its focus on contrast. Amrita is all about animal rights and a plant-based lifestyle, while Dhruv is passionate about sustainability but loves his non-vegetarian food. They have different values, different perspectives, and different ways of approaching relationships. Yet, somehow, they end up under the same roof, testing whether their love can survive their differences.
The show does not just explore romance but also the clash between modern values and traditional expectations. Can love thrive in a family setting where everyone has an opinion? Can two people who see the world so differently find common ground?
A Fresh Take on Love and Marriage
Director Shiva Varma describes Pyaar Testing as more than just a love story. It is a deeper look at how relationships work in today’s world, where people want compatibility but also struggle with traditions. Imagine trying to ‘test’ your love while your in-laws watch your every move. Yeah, no pressure at all.
Adding to the fun, the live-in trial does not just involve the couple—it happens under Dhruv’s family’s roof. That means plenty of awkward situations, unexpected comedy, and high-stakes family drama.
