Adhuri Kahaani Hamari (transl. Our incomplete story) is an Indian romantic fantasy drama television series that premiered on 16 November 2015 on &TV. Produced by Gul Khan under the banner of 4 Lions Films, it stars Laksh Lalwani and Mahima Makwana.
Plot
Manasvini "Manu" (Mahima Makwana) is killed by an ichhadhaari naagin (a shape-shifting snake) named Maya at the age of 16. Maya is jealous of Prince Madhav's (Laksh Lalwani) attention towards Manu, and to take Manu's place in Madhav's life, Maya kills her.
Years later, Manasvini's soul returns as Radhika, who is a film-making student. Radhika lands up in Narayanpuri, where the ancient Garuda Temple is located. Radhika comes to terms with her past life during this journey as Manasvini, and some intriguing secrets are revealed to her about Manasvini, Madhav and Maya's relationship. The characters are shown in the past, where Maya kills each family member and tries to kill Manu. By mistake, Madhav is hurt, Manu stabs Maya with a Trishul, and Maya bites Manu. The three of them die together.
Back in the present, Radhika finds Krish, who is Madhav's reborn form and marries him with the help of Tulsi, a shape-shifting snake who comes to unite Radhika and Krish to undo the evil done to the loving couple on behalf of the Naagvansh. In Krish's house, Preeti, his sister-in-law, is a daayan, (a witch), and has a hidden motive. She tortures Radhika by abducting Krish. She tries to kill Radhika, but Radhika is saved by Tulsi, who gives her her powers, thus making her a naagin. Radhika uses these powers to transform Preeti into a human being any special powers.
In the end, Radhika avenges Krish by killing the daayan Preeti.

History
Controversy
There were rumors that Mahima slapped Laksh during a rehearsal of &TV holi event. However, later on in an interview Laksh clarified the rumors and said:
The issue has been blown out of proportion. It was a trivial argument, which often happens between any two co-actors. I didn't react when she excitedly applied colors on me during a media interaction at the Holi event as I realize it was unintentional on her part.[6]
After the holi incident there were news of Mahima being replaced by Sanjeeda Sheikh or Sara Khan from the show. Nevertheless, she continued in the show. In an interview with tellychakkar.com she said:
Yes, the Producer Gul Khan personally met me and we cleared things.[7]
In March 2016 an intimate scene was being to be shot between Laksh aka Krish and Mahima aka Radhika. However, Mahima denied doing it. During a press interview, she said:
Yes I refused to do the scene because I felt it was too intimate. My mother's presence has got nothing to do with my refusal to shoot. I am very young to film such sequences. Hence I had reservations. Even if my mother wasn't present, I would not have done it because I felt it was too much. I had a word with my director and explained to him my discomfort would be visible in the scene too. I told him to tone it down to a level where I could be comfortable filming it. I did not want the show to suffer and had no intentions of inconveniencing those involved. I readily shot when they made the changes.[8]
Accidents
In January 2016, Mahima got injured on the set while shooting for a prominent jail sequence, wherein she had to run away breaking the chains. However, she ended up injuring her head while shooting for it. Nevertheless, she continued to shoot and completed her scene. Later on, people on the sets panicked and took her to the doctor to get the CT scan done.[9] During a press interview she said:
I was very excited, as I got the opportunity to perform an act like Deepika Padukone from "Bajirao Mastani". During the last shot I had to twirl the chain and when I pulled the chain from both the sides it came falling on my head and I was injured badly.[10]
Again in March 2016, Nupur Alankar got injured while shooting for a death sequence.[11]

The series was dubbed in Thai and was broadcast in Thailand on Bright TV20 and on Zee Anmol and Big Magic as Kasam Hai Tujhe Aa Bhi Jaa. From 31 August 2020 to 17 October 2020, the series was dubbed in Odia and broadcast as "Sathi Mo Asichhi Pheri" on Zee Sarthak. The series ended on 13 May 2016.
