Kumkum - Ek Pyara Sa Bandhan (Hindi pronunciation /kʊmkʊm/) (English Meaning- Kumkum- A lovely relationship) was an Indian television soap opera that aired from Monday - Friday at 1.00pm on STAR Plus in India/U.S. and 10:30 am in the UK. Although it's an afternoon soap, certain tracks of Kumkum gained more TRPs than a Prime-time soap. The story took some concepts from some popular Balaji Telefilms soaps such as Ghar Ek Mandir, Kkusum and Kutumb and towards the end it even introduced popular Balaji Telefilms faces Hiten Tejwani and Gauri Pradhan Tejwani in the story. The soap ended on March 13, 2009. This show is ranked number 4 on the list of STAR Plus top 10 shows of all time. Also it is India's fourth longest running serial.
The story falls under family-drama category but can be called more as the love story of the two main characters, Sumit-Kumkum. Sumit-kumkum are considered to be one of Star-Plus's most favourite couples. In fact a huge part of the success of the serial was credited to the chemistry the lead actor Hussain Kuwajerwala and the lead actress Juhi Parmar share.

The soap opera tells the tale of the Wadhwa family and its daughter-in-law, Kumkum. The show used to tell the story of the married couple of Sumit and Kumkum Wadhwa, but in an earlier episode, Kumkum was shot, and in thereafter Sumit killed himself. They were reborn, with Sumit being very shy and living with a big family in Delhi and Kumkum being born as a fun-loving prankster with her family in a village. Both hate each other after meeting in college, but due to circumstances they have to pretend to be married in front of their families.
Recently Ratan is scared as he thinks he killed Sumit and his ghost is back trying to get him and there kumkum arranges a party for Sumit's parents in occasion of their 25th anniversary and meanwhile Ratan plans to kill Kumkum as she can be danger to him and his mom's plan to get the property! however that fails as Sumit and kumkum's plan comes to success. Ratan being drunk announces to Sumit who he thought was a ghost why and how he killed him, he was unaware of the people around him whom happened to be listening. Sumit's father finds out about ratan's evil plans and sends him into jail. meanwhile Ratan's evil mother is plotting against them. After all the problems are solved, Kumkum and Sumit live happily ever after.
Kumkum is the favourite daughter family. First, she was married to Jatin; after Jatin's death she was engaged to Vishal but for some reason Vishal's parents called off the wedding and in the hustle bustle Sumit got angry and confused and applied the "sindur" on kumkum's forehead and so they got married and she had to face Renuka being Sumit's new wife and also had to face the problems and later on they had three kids Druv, Sharman and Aashka. And suddenly she faces a huge problem—so huge that it becomes the reason for her death. But again Kumkum is back after her reincarnation as a "chulbuli" prankster and even in this "janam" she kind of starts "liking" Sumit and due to some consequences, she has to live with Sumit as his wife and helps him in many ways. Recently she has also fallen in love with Sumit, but doesn't want to admit her love to him as Sumit's father, Om Raichand insulted her and her father Chandu Mishra, of wanting to marry Sumit for money.
Sumit was engaged to Renuka but married Kumkum while Renuka was away. He had much trouble winning Kumkum's love but after much drama Kumkum and Sumit fell in love. Then they tried to overcome problems that came with their children. After the reincarnation he was son of Om Raichand, who always had problems with his son. He grew up with the lack of love from his father. When he fell in love with Kumkum he had the problem that his father would not agree with the wedding. Now he is on the run along with Kumkum.
