The relationship between Pritam and Jagruti is just another instance of people getting attracted towards someone from the opposite sex. There are many organisations wherein such relationships among employees prevail. There is nothing wrong with it at all; until and unless it does not affect the organisation. There can be both pros and cons of such pairs working in the same organisation.

Pros...

There are various examples in different industries wherein couples make the best of colleagues due to the rapport that they share with each other. Moreover, working in a team also becomes easier since they like to work with each other. The environment may seem much more comfortable to them.

Cons...

It may so happen that they become too busy with their personal affairs and it adversely affects their work life. Any tensions in their relationship will have an impact on their working together in the same firm.

If the relationship is healthy, the firm will gain a lot from the co-ordination between these people. But if the reverse happens, it is better for the organisation to take strict measures so as to keep the personal and professional life of the employees separate.

If it is found that the organisation is suffering due to these sorts of relationships... it is absolutely justified on their part to safeguard the interest of the firm, by binding them into any suitable contract.

So far the employees are concerned, it is not very easy for anyone, not to get influenced by the relationship that a person has with its colleague. If the couples are very sure that come what may, they will not let their performance to get hampered, then it is suitable for them to work in the same organisation. If not, then they themselves should separate their professional paths for the benefit of themselves and the organisations they work for.
