Looking for something lighter and business-oriented? 'The Great Indian Romance' by Sriram Subramanian is a corporate satire where the romance between two consultants blooms and wilts across airport lounges and project sites in Hyderabad, Gurgaon, and Mumbai.
It's funny and sharply observant about the absurdity of corporate India. The romance is conducted over PowerPoint deadlines and delayed flights, making it a uniquely modern take on the multi-city relationship. Love is just another thing to schedule between client calls in different time zones.
If you enjoy audiobooks, listening to a multi-city romance can be a cool experience. A good narrator will subtly change their accent or cadence when describing scenes in, say, Kolkata versus those in Delhi. It adds an extra layer of immersion, making the geographical shift in the story feel more tangible.
Hearing the description of a bustling Mumbai street with auto-rickshaw sounds in the background, followed by the quiet of a Guwahati afternoon, can really highlight the emotional distance between the characters. It turns the city into a soundscape, which is a unique way to experience that element of the plot.
This might be a stretch, but in the graphic novel space, 'Kari' by Amruta Patil is a stunning, lyrical work. The protagonist's relationship with her past lover and her own sexuality is deeply tied to the city of Mumbai, but there's a haunting absence of another city where things might have been different.
The romance is melancholic and abstract, with the 'other city' being more of a symbolic escape. It's a beautiful example of how geographical distance in a relationship can be internalized, making the city you're in feel lonely for the one you're not with. More art than traditional romance, but profoundly moving.

Good question! I was just thinking about this the other day. My friend kept mentioning one but I forgot the name. Something about letters? I'll have to ask her again and report back.
Maybe it's a branding issue. What if it exists but isn't shelved as 'Romance'? It might be in 'Fiction' or 'Family Drama.' The romantic throughline is there, but it's not the primary marketing hook. So our keyword searches for 'Indian romance series' fail. We need to dig deeper into general fiction.
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.
Sudeep Nagarkar's books frequently use distance as a hurdle. In 'It Started with a Friend Request', the relationship begins online and then has to survive the real-world transition and subsequent separations. His novels are very popular with teens and young adults for their relatable depiction of college romance facing the real world's geographic demands.
The role of food is never just food in these novels. Sharing a meal, hiding dietary habits, fighting over kitchen rules—it's all loaded with meaning. A scene where a character secretly eats something forbidden at their lover's home, or where families awkwardly share a meal, can carry more tension than a direct argument about religion. It's the tiny, domestic details that often ring most true.
Okay but imagine a rom-com where the conflict isn't about the parents disapproving, but about the couple fighting over radically different political views stemming from their class backgrounds. Like, they're deeply in love but one is a union organizer and the other is a corporate lawyer for the parent company. The arguments would be so intense and personal. That's a modern class conflict I'd read in a heartbeat.
