Two new series premiere on Zee World this October and there's one common denominator in both: the main men in them cause trouble and heartbreak for all of the women in their lives.
Their wives, daughters, mothers, ex-wives and women they don't even know yet.
The first series My Heart Knows premieres on 15 October - once The Good Son ends - and Perfect Husband starts on 20 October, when Curse of the Sands wraps.
Here's a close-up on each:

Yet.
