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.

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?

We believe in every day heroes standing against the tide, battling situations on the basis of resilient values.

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."
