Cousins are known to have a love – hate relationship and most cases the first best friend during our childhood. Life is unpredictable and so is love. Although some communities do allow marriages between cousins in India, it is difficult for most to imagine a romantic relationship between cousins. However, there have been cases where romantic feelings creep in, in spite of the complications involved. Kevin Bacon, who married his distant cousin, Franklin Roosevelt married his fifth cousin and Charles Darwin married his first cousin to name a few.

However, their family comes to know about it and attempt to burn Kush alive.
Commenting on the upcoming episode of Love on the Run aired on MTV, Vrushika Mehta said, “I had an amazing time on the sets of Love on the run. It is also after a long time that I'm doing an episodic, so what I really liked about the show is how it salutes the power of love and is youth centric. I loved the story and it's very different from what I have done earlier. It shows how love is pure and raw and knows no bounds. I'm really looking forward to see how this episode turns out to be.”
Will Kush and Jhanavi escape the clutches of patriarchy? Or will they succumb to parental pressure?
