The guilt factor is huge in Indian contexts. Guilt over leaving aging parents, guilt over not being there for your partner during a crisis, guilt over enjoying your life in the new city. Novels that ignore this cultural layer feel shallow. I felt 'Private Life' by Neel Mukherjee (different author) captured this well in a historical setting—the guilt of leaving home for education abroad and the slow erosion of a marriage back home. It's brutal but honest.
My two cents: The best Indian LDR novels aren't always marketed as romance. Sometimes they're family sagas or coming-of-age stories where the relationship is one thread. 'The Windfall' by Diksha Basu has elements of this—children moving abroad, parents left behind, marriages strained by new money and distance. The love isn't just youthful romance; it's the love between parents and children, husbands and wives, all tested by physical gaps. It's humorous and light, but the undercurrent of disconnection is there.
I'm biased toward mysteries, so 'The Unexpected Inheritance of Inspector Chopra' by Vaseem Khan comes to mind. The retired inspector's relationship with his wife is lovely, and when she has to travel to help family, their phone calls are these little oases of warmth in the middle of his chaotic cases. It's a subplot, but it shows how a mature, established love weathers short-term distance with humor and deep trust. A nice palate cleanser from all the angsty young love stories.

All these stories that I collected over time, that were told to me by friends, acquaintances, relatives and others from my own imagination ink.
And perhaps, there is some coincidence.
Don't forget about regional literature in translation! Some of the most powerful stories about separation come from Indian languages, reflecting distances created by migration for work within the country. Translations of Bengali, Malayalam, or Tamil novels might offer settings and social pressures that English-language Indian romances set in metro cities often overlook. The 'distance' might be from a village to a city, carrying a whole different cultural weight.
Ugh, the struggle is real! I read one last year where the leads met in a coding forum, which was a cool setup. But then the author spent more time describing their family drama than their actual chats or video calls. Missed opportunity to really dive into how you build intimacy through a screen.
