Plot

The show is the story of a boy and a girl with a very different approach towards their life and career. The boy, Ghanashyam Kale (Swapnil Joshi) has an American Dream, and desperately want to shift in USA. The girl, Radha Desai (Mukta Barve), is working in an advertising agency and living with her father. Radha's father is a single parent.

Radha and Ghana have their individual goals in their life and don't want to be married. But both Kale and Desai families put pressure on them to get married as soon as possible because of their age. Both families arrange dates for them many times but every time Radha and Ghana refuse to get married. Radha has rejected 71 boys and Ghana has rejected 64 girls before they meet each other. Due to relentless pressure from their families Radha and Ghana take an unusual decision of Contract Marriage.

The serial was quite popular in urban Maharashtra - especially cities like Mumbai, Pune, etc. Zee Marathi ran a 3-hour movie version of the serial (created by patching together scenes from the serial) called ELDG Cinematic in January 2013 to celebrate the 1st birthday of the series.

Though fairly popular, the makers decided to end the serial in less than one year. In the last episode, the director has left some hope of a 2nd season alive by making the lead pair say to the audience - "See you again, soon."

The second season named Eka Lagnachi Teesri Goshta is airing from 14 October 2013. But this time Umesh Kamat and Spruha Joshi are in lead roles.
