"Pyaar Testing - The Final Test of Love!” to Stream on ZEE5 This Valentine’s Day

Can love conquer the challenge of compatibility? Addressing this question, ZEE5’s romantic drama Pyaar Testing is set to explore the evolving perceptions of marriage and traditions in today’s fast-changing world, where even a match made in heaven comes with rules and conditions. Starring Satyajeet Dubey and Plabita Borthakur, the upcoming series is poised to shake traditions with a bold take on love. Directed by Shiv Verma and Saptaraj Chakraborty, the series brims with the excitement of modern love flourishing amid rigid customs while commenting on the institution of marriage. Releasing on Valentine’s Day, 14th February 2025, Pyaar Testing is the perfect love story for a generation seeking a fresh perspective on companionship and commitment.

Set against the backdrop of Rajasthan, Pyaar Testing portrays the clash between tradition and contemporary values when a bold experiment with live-in relationships disturbs two conservative Rajput families, raising the question: Can love bridge the gap between the old and the new? Plabita Borthakur plays Amrita Singh Chauhan, an ardent animal rights activist and vegetarian café owner, while Satyajeet Dubey portrays Dhruv Pratap Rathod, an architect passionate about sustainability, a water conservationist, and a die-hard meat lover.

When a traditional arranged marriage setup brings them together, Amrita flips the script by proposing an unconventional clause: a two-month live-in relationship to test their compatibility before they get married. The trailer offers a glimpse into this ‘test of love,’ where two polar opposite ideologies and the pressure from their conservative Rajput families shape their journey forward. Pyaar Testing also delves into the modern generation’s approach to relationships, their checklists, and predefined traditions, challenging and redefining their meaning as love grows between Amrita and Dhruv. Will this opposites-attract couple stand the test of time, or will they fall apart before the final vows?

Speaking about the series, director Shiv Verma says, “We are incredibly excited to bring Pyaar Testing to ZEE5. This story is not just about love; it’s about embracing challenging traditions and relationships in a world where tradition and modernity often clash. The concept of ‘love testing’ revolves around the modern idea of live-in relationships, where young couples want to test their compatibility before committing to marriage. However, there’s a twist—the live-in arrangement is not just between the couple; it’s with the groom’s family under the same roof. This unique setup brings a fresh and entertaining take on love, relationships, and the conflict between generations, making for a compelling and relevant story.”

He adds, “Through Amrita and Dhruv’s journey, we explore the delicate balance between personal choices and societal expectations. We truly believe Pyaar Testing will resonate with anyone who has ever questioned the meaning of love, marriage, and compatibility in today’s world.”

Director Saptaraj Chakraborty shares, “Bringing Pyaar Testing to life has been an incredibly fulfilling experience, and we’re thrilled to finally share it with audiences. This story dares to ask important questions about relationships, commitment, and the idea of ‘testing’ love before taking a big leap. The clash of ideologies, the cultural contradictions with humor, and the emotional depth of the characters make this series an engaging watch, set against the beautiful backdrop of Jaipur, combining its modernity with an unshaken traditional mindset. We hope viewers will connect with Amrita and Dhruv’s journey and see their own reflections in this narrative. We’re excited to see how audiences respond to this fresh perspective on love and marriage.”

Satyajeet Dubey, who plays Dhruv, is excited about his role and says, “Pyaar Testing is a unique exploration of modern relationships and the evolving dynamics of love. My character, Dhruv, is not just another ideal lover. He is a man with deep convictions who believes in contributing positively to society. Though rooted in his values, he is also aware of his privileges and feels a strong responsibility to give back. Coming from Rajasthan, Dhruv is acutely aware of the region’s ecological challenges, especially water scarcity and social inequality, even if he doesn’t speak about them often.”

Satyajeet further adds, “What makes Pyaar Testing special is that it’s not just about love; it’s about two people from completely different worlds challenging each other, finding common ground, and growing together. Dhruv’s journey is one of self-discovery, where his love for Amrita forces him to reassess everything he believes in. I’m thrilled to bring this layered character to life and can’t wait for the audience to experience this refreshing and thought-provoking journey.”

Plabita Borthakur, who plays Amrita, talks about her character and says, “Amrita is someone who believes that love should be based on understanding, compatibility, and honesty. Her practical approach to relationships—testing them before fully committing—reflects the mindset of today’s modern woman. Pyaar Testing is an exciting story that challenges traditional views on love and marriage. Playing a character who questions traditions while exploring new aspects of herself and the people around her has been a refreshing experience. This series is about love, vulnerability, and growth, and I’m so excited to be a part of this journey.”
