Now let’s take a moment to appreciate timeless lovers that made us all feel gushy whenever we saw them together on screen.

When the chemistry is palpable, you can feel the spark on the other side of the screen. The feeling is so vivid that you can almost touch it. The Bipasha-Tauquir pairing was repeated time and again for the viewer’s pleasure. When the couple got married in 1999, it was a moment of joy to see this beautiful pair translate their on-screen love to a lifelong commitment. Bishashghatok, Priyojon, Otithi, Jolchobi, Harjit, Rupnogor were popularised dramas that everyone enjoyed. Even two decades later, fans still search for snippets of these shows on YouTube to watch them again and again.
Even when the couple is playing non-romantic characters, there’s just no denying the chemistry between them. In 2016, the couple hosted a show for the first time together in their careers. That was also a celebrity couple show called Lux Asian Celebrity Lounge in Asian TV where winning couples would get a chance to fly to New York with Bipasha and Towkir. Due to their immense popularity, the show was a successful one. Both Tauquir and Bipasha complement each other’s unique charisma and charm. Perhaps, the term ‘soulmates’ was made for them.
