Five years had passed since Avikaa Kapoor left Mumbai to chase her dreams in Los Angeles. Today, her beauty brand, Bellezza Beauty, was among the top three in the US.
Avikaa's morning began with a call from her assistant, Lisa. "Avikaa, we need to finalize the packaging for our new product line. The design team is waiting for your approval."
Avikaa's voice was firm and decisive. "Let's go with the silver and gold theme. It'll appeal to our target audience."
Ending the call, Avikaa sank into her plush sofa, releasing a deep sigh. Her mind was already overwhelmed with work.
Just then, her phone rang again. This time, it was a video call from Ruhanika Rajvansh, her childhood friend.
Ruhanika's face lit up the screen, radiant with excitement. "Guess what? My parents agreed to my marriage with Yuvraj Oberoi! We're getting engaged soon!"
Avikaa's face broke into a warm smile. "Congratulations, Ru! I'm beyond thrilled for you."
Ruhanika's expression turned persuasive. "Avi, you have to come back to India for the engagement. It won't be the same without you."
Avikaa hesitated. "I'll definitely be there for the wedding, but I won't be staying at Mom and Dad's place."
Ruhanika chuckled. "I knew you'd say that. Fine, stay at a hotel, but you have to come."
After catching up with Ruhanika, Avikaa ended the call and began getting ready for work. She slipped into her sleek, formal attire, her signature style.
As she prepared to leave, Avikaa realized she had forgotten to wake up Aditi, her roommate and best friend.
She knocked on Aditi's door. "Hey, rise and shine! I'm heading out."
Aditi rubbed the sleep from her eyes. "Have a great day, Avi."
With a quick goodbye, Avikaa left for the office, ready to tackle another challenging day.
