I think if there is any other desi show that I have fangirled AS MUCH over, it would have to be Remix.
It aired when I was in Class Eight. ALL my friends and I watched it and then whispered dramatically about it in class the next day. We were divided over who was the cooler couple-- Yuvraj-Anvesha or Ranvir-Tia. (I was Team Yuvraj-Anvesha)
If it was today, we'd be writing and reading fanfic about it, without a DOUBT.
Looking back, the acting was PRETTY bad and dialogues were contrived too. But it was an honest attempt at creating a show for teens that dealt in a non-preachy way with things like crushes, relationships of all kinds, peer pressure, eating disorders, drug abuse, unprotected sex and its dangers, friendship, career difficulties, parental pressure, teachers-- both good and bad, ragging and whatnot. Very progressive it was.
