Colors started its newest fiction show, Shayad Yahi Hai Pyaar, on Monday, 28 September 2026. It is a finite romance drama, meaning it is planned to run for a limited stretch rather than indefinitely. The show is an official Hindi adaptation of the Korean series Something in the Rain, and it centres on a love story across an age gap.

Story

The series follows Preeti Arora, a 35-year-old working woman in Delhi. At the office she faces workplace pressure, and at home she faces steady questions about why she is still unmarried. A long relationship with the conventionally "suitable" Gaurav ends badly and leaves her doubting the choices she has made.

At her lowest point she meets Aarav, her best friend's younger brother, who has come back to Delhi after studying in the US. He is ten years younger than her. What starts as an easy friendship slowly becomes something deeper. Preeti then has to weigh family expectations and social judgement against what she actually feels. Colors has promoted the show around one question: can love ignore the "wall" of age?

Cast

  • Aditi Dev Sharma as Preeti Arora
  • Daksh Puri as Aarav, in his first lead role on television
  • Kunal Karan Kapoor as Gaurav, Preeti's former partner

Production

The show is produced by Pocket Aces through its long-form label Dice Media. A remake of Something in the Rain was first announced in February 2022, with the rights coming from JTBC Studios, the Korean studio behind the original. The Hindi title was revealed in May 2026, when Colors released its first promo. The launch was then pushed back from its original plan, and the channel confirmed the 28 September date in September.
