Bade Achhe Lagte Hain 4 is an Indian Hindi-language romantic drama television series starring Harshad Chopda and Shivangi Joshi. ^[1] Produced by Ekta Kapoor under Balaji Telefilms, it is the fourth installment of Bade Achhe Lagte Hain series. ^[2] The series premiered on Sony TV on 16 June 2025. ^[3]

Plot

Bhagyashree Iyer is an independent woman who lives in Delhi. She heads Tattvaa and for the last five years has been living away from her parents. She left her home to marry her boyfriend Nikhil after her parents refused to meet him. Nikhil rejected her since he was only after her father's money. The betrayal left her with trust issues and no faith in love.

Rishabh Kapoor is a cheerful and happy-go-lucky man struggling to make ends meet. He was in need of a job and got one at Tattvaa. Bhagyashree learns that her parents, who never learned what happened five years ago, are coming to visit her and her husband. Her friend Nitya advises her to marry before they arrive to portray a happy married life.

She meets Vikram Bhalla, head of Tattvaa's west zone and agrees to marry him. Rishabh exposes him as a fraud and two-timer, thus saving Bhagya from being manipulated. Her parents assume Rishabh is her husband and the two maintain the facade. Bhagya falls in love with Rishabh but he is hiding a truth.

He is a rich businessman and he came into Bhagya's life hoping to earn her trust so he can avenge his father Gautam Kapoor who is in jail because of her false testimony. Despite his mission, Rishabh ends up growing feelings for Bhagya making him feel guilty and conflicted. Naysa, Rishabh's former wife, who is still obsessed with Rishabh is revealed to be Bhagya's boss. Rishabh finds out that Bhagya believed the victims who were paid by Naysa to speak up against Gautam and gave the testimony. She did not know he was innocent and this was a setup.

Naysa later discovers that the guy Bhagya loves is Rishabh and exposes the truth in front of everyone. She reveals that Rishabh is a Kapoor and lies that they are still married. Bhagya is left shattered, heartbroken and asks Rishabh to leave her life. Her pain eclipses the mistake she made of giving a false testimony against an innocent man without checking. She goes to court and corrects her mistake but fails to realise the magnitude of how it destroyed a family.

6 months later

Bhagya has hardened her heart and refuses to trust anyone in life. She focuses on work, staying healthy and being with her family. Bhagya left Tattvaa and now works in another company whose boss is later revealed to be Rishabh. He also moves next door to Bhagya to win her trust back.
