Colors Rishtey, formerly Rishtey (meaning relationships), is a Hindi general entertainment channel (GEC) owned by Viacom18. Originally launched in the UK in 2012, Rishtey was launched in India in 2013 as a free-to-air channel showing old Colors programming. It was renamed to Colors Rishtey on 1 March 2019.

It is present on the state-owned DD Free Dish platform (except for a period in 2019–20) and targets a rural audience along with Star Utsav, Zee Anmol, Sony Pal and free-to-air channels such as Dangal and Ishara TV.
