Here's a practical angle: search Goodreads or Indian book blogs for Marathi novels with the tag 'Based on True Story' or 'Inspired by True Events.' Use those phrases in Marathi as well. You might find hidden gems that aren't widely discussed in mainstream literary circles.
Also, look at award-winning Marathi novels from the last two decades. The synopsis or critical reviews often mention if a work is 'semi-autobiographical' or 'deeply personal,' which can be a code for containing romantic elements drawn from life. Awards like the Sahitya Akademi Award or the Vishakha Prize sometimes go to such intimately crafted works.
It's a detective game, but the search could lead you to some extraordinary books that aren't on the standard recommendation lists.

Consider the medium of the serialized novel in Marathi magazines, like 'Sathottari' or 'Manohar.' These often tackled contemporary social issues with relatable characters. The love stories within them were designed to mirror the readers' own lives—disputes over dowry, love marriages versus arranged, career conflicts.
While not 'based on' one specific event, they were amalgamations of thousands of real stories reported in the news or shared in letters to the editor. This made them powerfully resonant 'real life' narratives for their time. Finding collections of these serialized novels could be a treasure trove of period-specific romantic realism.

I wonder if the digital age is changing this. On platforms like Wattpad (Pratilipi has a big Marathi section), I've definitely seen stories tagged #TrueStory or #InspiredByRealLife. These are often amateur writings, sometimes just a step above fanfiction, but the impulse is there.
The anonymity and direct reader-author connection of the internet encourage people to fictionalize their own experiences or those of their friends. The quality is uneven, but the 'real life' claim is probably more literal here than in professionally published works where legal and artistic considerations blur the lines.
If you're young and don't mind sifting, that's where you'll find the raw, unpolished 'based on my life' romance narratives in Marathi today.

I concede. I can't name one. But this conversation has been more valuable than a simple list. It's made me think about what 'real' means in fiction. Is it the plot points, or is it the emotional and social truth? For Marathi literature, I'm convinced it's the latter.
So, my revised recommendation is: pick any Marathi novel from a respected author known for their social realism or psychological depth. Within it, you will likely find a love story—perhaps quiet, perhaps tragic, perhaps triumphant—that carries the weight of truth. Not because it happened, but because the author knew the truth of the human heart well enough to build it from scratch.

Focus on the authors known for their lyrical, personal style. Their romance writing often feels confessional. Take the poet and novelist Grace for instance (though she writes in English, her sensibility is deeply rooted). In Marathi, the poet Vasant Abaji Dahake's prose has a similar raw, personal quality.
When a writer's primary mode is poetic self-expression, even their fiction feels like a facet of their lived emotional truth. Scour the bibliographies of beloved Marathi poets. Many have written at least one novel or collection of short stories, and the love within them is likely filtered through a very personal, real lens of experience and longing.

This book gathers different love stories, yes, 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.

Look, the 'based on real life' tag can be misleading. Sometimes it just means the author knew a couple who had a long-distance relationship. I'm more interested in the emotional resonance than the factual pedigree. Does the love feel earned and real within the story's own logic?

I have a soft spot for 'Chhava' by Shivaji Sawant. It's about Sambhaji, Shivaji's son. The romantic subplot with his wife, Yesubai, is set against a backdrop of war, betrayal, and impossible choices. Their love is tested by duty and history in the most extreme ways. The emotional journey is one of loyalty in the face of certain doom. It's epic, tragic, and makes you think about what it means to love someone when the world is literally falling apart around you.

I'd recommend looking at campus novels from the 70s and 80s. The love stories in those are often tied to the political ferment of the time—student unions, protests, ideological debates. The romances are entangled with real historical currents, making them feel urgent and authentic to that era.
The couples fall in love while debating Marxism or fighting for a cause, and their relationships are tested by the same forces. Even if the characters are invented, the backdrop is so specifically real that it injects truth into the personal narrative. You learn about the time period through the lens of a relationship, which is a powerful way to make history feel personal.

The novel 'Rangbhumi' by Sane Guruji, while its main theme is different, has a subplot involving a married couple where the wife is visually impaired. The husband's devotion and their way of navigating the world together is portrayed with such gentle, unassuming love. It's not presented as a sacrifice, but as a natural, loving partnership, which makes it all the more powerful.

What about the role of letters? Epistolary novels or stories where the relationship is revealed through correspondence, like 'Yayati' by V.S. Khandekar (though not strictly a marital love story), use the letter format to achieve incredible intimacy. The character is confessing directly to the page, and by extension, to their partner. For marital stories, this technique can unveil layers of thought and emotion that would never be spoken aloud in person.
The distance required for letter-writing allows for a candor that face-to-face interaction might stifle. You see the raw, unpolished version of their love, regret, hope, and loneliness. If you can find stories using this format, they often provide the most direct pipeline into a character's heart. The love story unfolds in real time through these written cries and whispers, making the reader a secret sharer in the most private moments of the relationship.

I'm just sitting here nodding along at all these suggestions. 'Yayati' and 'Mritunjaya' are definitely the powerhouses for tragic, philosophical love. Makes me want to go re-read my dusty copies. The way these authors use mythology to talk about very human emotions is just next level.
