== Plot ==<br />
''Kahani Terrii Merrii'' is the story of a joint [[Bengalis|Bengali]] family. The male protagonist of the show Dhruv and his childhood friend Tara fall in love in adulthood and get married. However, having suffered through loneliness in his childhood after his father left his mother for another woman, Dhruv has grown up to be an alcoholic. Despite Tara's love and support, he is unable to give up his addiction.<br />
<br />
Some of his family members want to separate Dhruv and Tara, especially Dhruv's sister-in-law. Gradually, Tara helps Dhruv get control of his life and become a better person. When Tara's friend and businesswoman Rajita ([[Poonam Narula]]) enters their lives, Dhruv clashes with her but soon they begin an affair and fall in love.<br />
<br />
Dhruv doesn't realize that he commits the same mistake as his father by falling for another woman and ruining his marital life. Tara discovers their illegitimate relationship and confronts Dhruv who finally realizes his mistake. But Tara does not forgive him. When Dhruv's mother becomes aware of her son's actions, she sympathises with Tara who is in the same situation that she was many years ago. She supports Tara's decision to leave Dhruv and encourages her to move on from him. The show ends with Tara leaving Dhruv while he repents his actions.<br />

== Reception == <br />
''Kahani Terrii Merrii'' was launched with much promise. The show replaced the hit drama ''[[Kutumb (TV series)|Kutumb]]'' and was touted to be one of the expensive television shows of that time. The show was loosely inspired by the grandeur of [[Devdas (2002 Hindi film)|''Devdas'']]. Despite the lavish sets and a huge cast, the show failed to impress the audiences and critics alike. The reception of the show was poor all over and ratings were dismal.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/lucknow-times/TV-soaps-lose-their-lather/articleshow/46108814.cms|title=TV soaps lose their lather - Times of India|website=The Times of India|access-date=2019-07-13}}</ref> The show thus ended abruptly. It was replaced by the critically acclaimed ''[[Naam Gum Jayegaa|Naam Gumm Jayega]]''.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.indiantelevision.com/headlines/y2k3/may/may64.htm|title='Kahani Terrii Merrii' to make way for 'Naam Gum Jayega'|date=2003-05-08|website=Indian Television Dot Com|language=en|access-date=2019-07-13}}</ref><br />
