Staying in and wondering what to watch on TV on Valentine's Day? Keep your eyes on Banglavision at 8:45 pm to watch tender, mushy, inspiring stories of love.
Difficulties are a part of life but when we want to be with that special someone, we find ways to get close to them; we learn how to be patient and give love everything we got. These stories can later on inspire others to take risks in the name of love.

To bring to light some of these amazing stories unique to Bangladesh today, Close-Up began a competition titled, “Kachhe Ashar Golpo-2” on January 2, 2014, asking people to send in their own, personal stories. The goal was to share these very real, yet incredible stories of love and overcoming obstacles with the whole country.  
With the overwhelming response from youngsters, the organiser's mailbox was flooded with stories of love. “Kachhe Ashar Golpo-2” also went viral on social media platform Facebook. The Facebook page is keeping followers updated about news and other campaign-related issues.
A panel of judges have already selected three stories from scores sent by people. The best three stories -- “Otopor…”, “Kothabondhu Mithila” and “Why So Serious?” by Anisul Haque Sagor, Md. Sakawat Hossain and Khandakar Noushadur Rahman -- were adapted into TV plays by talented directors Shafayet Mansoor Rana, Masud Hasan Ujjal and Ashfaque Nipun. These segments, as part of “Kachhe Ashar Golpo-2” feature Jon and Aparna [“Otopor…”], Tahsan and Ognila [“Kothabondhu Mithila”], and Abir and Elita [“Why So Serious?”].
