‘Thapki Pyar Ki’ and the Gorilla Romance That Lasted Two Episodes

In a 2016 Scroll.in article, Aakash Karkare described an unlikely turn in Thapki Pyar Ki: an escaped gorilla became a rival for the lead character’s affection. The plot, as Karkare recounted it, lasted two episodes. He used it as a comic entry point to a broader set of fictional stories about humans and animals—a selection, not a comprehensive history.

What happens in the Thapki Pyar Ki gorilla storyline?

Karkare’s June 28, 2016 account says that after “350+ episodes” focused on Thapki’s love life, an unnamed gorilla escaped from a local zoo and entered the romantic rivalry. Thapki, played by Jigyasa Singh, was caught between her husband Bihaan (Manish Goplani), colleague Dhruv (Ankit Bathla), and the gorilla. The arc lasted two episodes; Karkare says zoo authorities took the animal away after it became violent.

The episode count and plot details here are Karkare’s account, not independently verified episode records. His “350+ episodes” figure describes the show as of his 2016 article, not a current total. Read Karkare’s article on Scroll.in.

Why does the article connect the plot to other romances?

The gorilla storyline is the comic hook for Karkare’s survey of selected examples from film and television, including King Kong, Misfits, Friends, Johnny Bravo, Pokémon, Family Guy, BoJack Horseman, Ted, and Zoo. These examples do not all depict the same kind of relationship. Some involve an animal’s attachment to a human; others imagine romance with a human-like or fantastical being, or use supernatural interspecies relationships as a story premise.

That variety matters: a comic crush on an animal, a romance involving a human-animal hybrid, and a horror story about an interspecies relationship are not interchangeable. Karkare’s headline makes a broad historical claim, but the article’s examples are an essayist’s selection rather than a systematic catalogue or a documented history.

What kind of documentary is Zoo in this discussion?

Karkare also refers to Zoo as a documentary in his discussion of human-animal relationships. The article mentions a real incident, but its account alone does not establish the incident’s details or legal aftermath. It is therefore best understood here as one of the works Karkare chose to discuss, not as independent documentation of those claims.

What the headline does—and does not—establish

The headline belongs to Karkare’s 2016 Scroll.in article. Its central point is that the gorilla plot could be read alongside other fictional portrayals of attraction or relationships across the human-animal boundary. It does not establish how common such plots are, offer a complete history of them, or make claims about real-world relationships. The story examples are fictional portrayals; they should not be treated as evidence about animal behavior or human-animal relationships outside fiction.
