Delhi

Indira Gandhi International Airport

A young man, dressed impeccably in a blazer, crisp shirt and tailored formal pants, strides confidently towards a BMW. Beside him, a sleek suitcase rolls smoothly on its wheels, matching his brisk yet composed pace. The sun reflects off his aviator sunglasses, adding an air of cool sophistication to his demeanor.

A phone is pressed to his ear.

Young Man (speaking on phone): Haa chachu...mujhe dikh gaye aap...

He ends the call and slides his phone into his pocket. He approaches the BMW shortly and takes off his aviators. A warm smile creeps onto his lips, when a middle-aged man eagerly disembarks from the car and takes him into a tight hug.

Akhilesh(happy): It's so good to have you back Kartik!

Kartik's face is finally shown as his uncle's words of affection make him smile. He has a handsome presence that turns heads whenever he walks into a room, commanding attention with his confident demeanor and striking features.

Both of them release the hug as the driver places Kartik's luggage into the boot of the car.

Akhilesh: Chalo chalte hain...ghar pe sab tumhara besabri se intezaar kar rhe hain...
