Hello Readers,

Welcome onto another MaNan journey, that will take you through the twists and turns and trials & tribulations of love!

As we embark on this journey, I have a few mandatory callouts:

1. This is set in the backdrop of the film industry & all plots, subplots, ways of working, mentioned in this story are fictional and has come from a place of pure creativity. It has nothing to do with the real working of the film industry & this story expresses no view/ opinion or endorsement of the same.

2. This is not a loose portrayal or dig at any specific actor out there & doesn't intend to harm the sentiment of any fandom, at any cost.

3. This is my honest attempt at showcasing the high octane larger than life lifestyle of actors. My request is that you read with an open mind. Like always, I maintain, my works are not for conservative folks, so please consider yourself warned.

About the Story:

How does the life of an actor revolve around his brand and image & how at the pinnacle of success it's not the person within that's driving the actor's life, but the public image!

Manik & Nandini's marriage was a mistake for sure. 

They both knew it. 

It came with an expiry date.

It ended with a divorce.

But, can you plan life according to your need?

The last time we checked, it was destiny that called the shots, but does being an actor mean you're bigger than destiny?

Stay tuned to find out more! ;)

Random Facts:

1. I have already penned 20 chapters of this book & I think I will wrap in another 10 (not sure)

2. I may or may not have a chapter on character introduction because there are so so so many characters in this story :D (although I am not sure how to introduce the character without writing much about them & spoiling the story!)

3. The idea of this story really came to me on my delivery table!! :D Although I was still penning Hustle for Love then, so it took a backseat

4. I would dedicate this story to my little boy Ryan, for being such a cutie that I actually got to write so much!

Anyway, we will start soon! Don't forget to add this book in your reading list!

Hope you will enjoy!

Much love,

Aafrah
