Thapki Pyar Ki (lit. "A Light Touch of Love") is an Indian television series that aired on Colors TV from 25 May 2015.[1] It is a story of a young woman, Thapki Chaturvedi, who has a stutter.[2][3] It starred Jigyasa Singh and Manish Goplani besides Ankit Bathla, Sheena Bajaj, Monica Khanna and others.[4][5] The series ended on 14 July 2017,[6] completing 698 episodes.[7][8][9][10]

Plot[edit]

Although cheerful and intelligent, Vaani Chaturvedi has a stutter but never loses hope and lets her speech impairment become an obstacle in her life. However, her stutter prevents her from receiving any marriage proposals. She always speaks with a pat so people named her Thapki.

Thapki finds employment at a TV channel owned by the gentle and educated Dhruv Pandey, whom she impresses. Soon Dhruv falls in love with Thapki, and proposes her for marriage. She agrees. His mother Vasundhara disapproves of Thapki due to the stutter. Vasundhara's adopted son Bihaan, on her orders to prevent Dhruv from marrying Thapki, hits him hard on the head thus making him unconscious and then marries Thapki.

Vasundhara gets Dhruv married to the evil Shraddha. Thapki takes her place in Pandey house as daughter-in-law. Vasundhara tries to create problems in Thapki's life until she saves her from a falling deity. Vasundhara regrets her attitude for Thapki, with whom Bihaan slowly falls in love. Later he confesses his love to her and she feels the same way.

Dhruv who becomes jealous of them, tries to break up their marriage by attempting to kill Bihaan, but Thapki and Shraddha save him. Dhruv kidnaps and forcefully tries to marry Thapki; Bihaan saves her and forgives him after he regrets his behaviour. Bihaan's biological mother Kosi and step-father Naman enter.

They want a kidney from Bihaan for their own son Janardhan, and discover that Bihaan was born with one kidney. Thapki tells him that Kosi wants the kidney but Bihaan doesn't believe her. Kosi, in order to get Thapki out of her way of getting the kidney from Bihaan, falsely accuses her of attempting to kill her. Thapki tries to prove her innocence in front of the Pandey family, but with all evidence pointing against her, no one believes her. Enraged, Bihaan slaps Thapki, and severing all ties with her he orders her to leave his life and Pandey Niwas forever. Before leaving, Thapki writes a letter to inform Bihaan that she's pregnant, hoping that he'll not let her go, but her letter is found by a woman named Sankar, who loves Bihaan and wants him all for herself. Thapki meets with an accident and loses her unborn child.

2 years later[edit]

Thapki returns as a business tycoon, Vaani Oberoi, with Kabir Katyal, who is vengeful on Bihaan for setting alight the house of his sister Neha. Thapki and Dhruv expose Kosi who is thrown out of the house. Kosi leaves after threatening Thapki, that she'll be back for revenge. Thapki believes that Bihaan is innocent, and he isn't responsible for Neha's condition and soon Kabir does too. Thapki, Vasundhara and Neha expose Sankar as the true arsonist. Later, Sankar reveals that it was she who caused Thapki's accident, two years ago.

Sankar escapes. Dhruv divorces Shraddha and marries Aditi, Thapki's sister, and impregnates both in a drunken state. Thapki and Bihaan reunite and remarry. Thapki becomes pregnant. Meanwhile, Sankar and Kosi return to Pandey Niwas in disguise, seeking revenge. Sankar fakes her death and Bihaan is arrested for her presumed murder. Sankar blackmails Thapki saying Bihaan will be saved only if she leaves him. Thapki has no choice but to agree to her ultimatum. She gives birth to two twin daughters Tina and Bani, but as per the conditions, she is forced to tell Bihaan and his family that the girls aren't Bihaan's daughters, but are Kabir's daughters.

Sankar tries to kill Tina, whom Bihaan saves and adopts, unaware that she is his own daughter. Everyone assumes Tina is dead. Thapki leaves with Kabir and Bani. Shraddha reveals to Sankar of knowing she blackmailed Thapki; they form an alliance. Aditi finds out and informs Bihaan. They reach Thapki but are injured on the way when Shraddha runs them over.

7 years later[edit]

Aditi has a son Veer, and Shraddha has a daughter Ananya. However, Shraddha had exchanged the babies, as she wanted a son, making everyone believe that Veer is her son, and Ananya is Aditi's daughter. Aditi is found dead; Dhruv blames Thapki. Bihaan has lost his memory. Shraddha and Sankar mistreat Tina. It is revealed that Shraddha and Sankar have been giving Bihaan wrong medicines, so that he never regains his memory. Thapki, who's a criminal reporter lives with Bani in Agra. Bani is exactly like Bihaan, while Tina is exactly like Thapki. Shraddha and Sankar plot to separate Bihaan and Tina, and Shraddha sends her to a boarding school in Agra, which coincidently is the same school in which Bani studies. Bani and Tina meet and befriend each other. Thapki meets Bihaan at Bani and Tina's school, and is shocked to see that he doesn't recognize her. Later, she learns about Bihaan's memory loss. She returns to help Bihaan's amnesia. Eventually, he regains his memory. Bihaan, Thapki, Bani and Tina expose Sankar in front of the family, and she's arrested. Shraddha saves herself.

Amma Mai, a gangster kidnaps Bani wanting her to marry her son Prince. It is revealed that Shraddha disguised as Thapki to set up Bani's marriage with Amma Mai's son. Bihaan and Thapki try to save Bani. Amma Mai points her gun at Thapki, but Bihaan comes in between to save her, and is shot. Thapki tries to hold Bihaan, preventing his fall from the cliff, but is unsuccessful and Bihaan falls to his death. The police arrests Amma Mai. Bani blames her own mother Thapki for Bihaan's death and leaves home. Kosi takes Bani in. Shraddha kidnaps Thapki. Vasundhara rescues Thapki and defeats Shraddha.

15 years later[edit]

Grown-up, Tina is engaged to Samar Kapoor. Bani and Kosi arrive to take revenge on Thapki. Bihaan's lookalike Aryan turns out to be the older brother of Bani's fiancé Manav Khanna, and is asked by Thapki to impersonate Bihaan. On the marriage day, Kosi creates mayhem in which Tina marries Manav and Bani marries Samar.

Bani is sorry to Thapki. Kosi is arrested. Thapki and Bani get kidnapped by Lovely, a bar dancer who is impersonating Thapki. She escapes but is blackmailed into silence by Lovely, who threatens to kill Bani. Lovely is actually Thapki's long lost sister Mohini, who was separated from their family when she pushed her off an cliff.

Samar rescues Bani. Mohini apologises for her actions. Tina and Vasundhara haven't yet forgiven Thapki for messing up her daughter's life. Later, Aryan and Bani clear out all misunderstandings and Thapki is forgiven. Aryan receives invitation to stay with the family and take Bihaan's place. He marries Thapki and everyone lives happily ever after.
