Dhirubhai Ambani International School is one of Mumbai's most prestigious educational institutions, known for its world-class facilities and high academic standards.

For many parents, getting their child admitted here is more than just an educational decision—it's a matter of pride, a reflection of status, and a symbol of success.

It's no wonder that this school has become the top choice for Mumbai's elite—Bollywood stars, business tycoons, and sports icons—all wanting the very best for their children.

The school's hallways have seen the likes of Janhvi Kapoor, Ananya Panday, and Sara Tendulkar.

It's where budding talents like Arjun Tendulkar honed their skills, and where Radhika Sharma, the sister of cricketer Rohit Sharma, once walked with books in hand and dreams in her eyes.

Radhika smiles to herself as she remembers those moments. Life has indeed come full circle. Standing at the gates of Dhirubhai Ambani International School, she feels a wave of nostalgia wash over her.

The hustle and bustle of students rushing to classes, the faint sound of laughter echoing in the corridors—it all feels like yesterday.

She looks around, imagining the younger versions of herself, Aditi, and Sara. It's hard to believe how much has changed and yet, in some ways, how little.

Back then, their fights were over the silliest things—who would sit next to Radhika in class, or which movie they'd watch over the weekend. But beneath those petty arguments was a bond that no disagreement could break.

Even now, Aditi and Sara's relationship hasn't changed much. They still argue over the smallest things, whether it's about a new design for Sara's latest collection or who's running late to a photoshoot.

But despite the bickering, they're inseparable. They've grown together, supported each other, and somehow managed to blend their dreams into a shared reality.

Aditi might roll her eyes when Sara gets too bossy, but at the end of the day, they both know they wouldn't be where they are without each other.

Radhika feels a sense of pride in all that they've accomplished. Aditi is gracing magazine covers and billboards, and Sara's boutique is becoming a go-to for Mumbai's fashion-forward crowd.

And as for Radhika, she's on the path to achieving her own dream of becoming a doctor—a dream that was born in these very hallways, in the company of her best friends.

As she stands there, lost in thought, a loud shout of "BUNNY!" brings her back to the present. Shifting her gaze, Radhika spots a familiar figure sprinting towards her with wide smiles and open arms.

In the middle of the pack is her niece, Samaira, herface lit up with a bright and beautiful smile. Oh she has grown so much since Radhika last saw her, but that same spark of energy remains.
