Trishna was a 1985 Indian TV show on Doordarshan, roughly based on the idea of Jane Austen's novel Pride and Prejudice.

The show was aired on Doordarshan in 1985. It was based on the idea of Pride and Prejudice, involving an Indian middle-class family. All the characters of the novel were maintained in the show, with their traits shown exactly as in the book.

As in the novel, the family has five daughters, the second of whom is called Rekha. She is proud, honest and has a stubborn streak in her. She does not think much of those who are pompous. She meets a rich, handsome guy at a party, who has come there with his friend and sisters, and is instantly prejudiced against him due to his pride and arrogance. The elder sister falls in love with the friend, whose sisters do not think much of her family and persuade him to jilt her. The story continues in the same mode as Pride and Prejudice, and in the end, all the girls marry in exactly the same fashion as in the novel.
