Until the bride ran away. With reputation at stake and no time left, a decision was made- one that no one questioned, but no one truly chose. Ruhaani Mallik was never meant to be the bride. Just the girl who stood in the background... unnoticed, unimportant. But in a moment of desperation, she was pushed into a place that was never hers. Ritvik Shergill didn't ask questions. He didn't care who stood beside him. For him, marriage was never about love. Just responsibility. Two strangers. One rushed wedding. A bond built on compulsion. But when a man who never believed in emotions starts to notice the girl who never expected anything, something begins to shift. Because she was never the one he was meant to marry... and yet, she might become the one he cannot let go.

𝐑𝐚𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞 𝐈𝐬𝐡𝐪 𝐊𝐞 Aisha's life takes a whirlwind turn when her pictures with Aaraiz, a dominant yet deeply protective man, are leaked. Forced into a marriage she never wanted, Aisha's playful innocence clashes with Aaraiz's strict and commanding nature. As their journey unfolds, Aaraiz's over protectiveness begins to feel like love, and Aisha's resistance softens into trust. Amid family drama, old secrets, and unexpected romance, they find themselves navigating a bond neither of them anticipated. A story of clashing wills, hidden vulnerabilities, and a love that grows against all odds.

He buried his heart the day his wife died. Vihaan Sharma - ruthless CEO, feared businessman, single father to 1.5-year-old twins - doesn't believe in love anymore. His world is built on control, power, and the tiny hands of Aarav and Aisha, the only pieces of softness left in his life. He doesn't need a wife. He needs a mother for his children. So when an arranged marriage proposal lands on his desk, he treats it like every other deal in his empire - practical, emotionless, final. No love. No expectations. No place in his heart. But the woman he marries is not what he expects. She is quiet... but not weak. Distant... but not cold. Hidden behind calm eyes that seem to understand grief a little too well. As the toddlers begin to cling to her, as the mansion slowly fills with warmth again, something dangerous begins to shift. Because Vihaan Sharma doesn't know how to love gently. He loves like possession. Like obsession. Like he's terrified of losing again. And when secrets from the past resurface - threatening his children, his empire, and the woman who was never supposed to matter - he will have to choose: Protect his heart. Or risk destroying it again. This was supposed to be a marriage of convenience. But some arrangements don't stay contracts. Some turn into storms. And this time, the storm has her name written all over it. 🖤

Aira never wanted romance. She wanted residency, respect, and a life built on faith - not fantasy. Until a rain-soaked night shift introduced her to Dr. Zayan Mirza, the man who looked composed but held chaos in his chest. Their love grows not in haste, but in softness - chai shared at 3 A.M., stolen glances across ECG monitors, duas whispered instead of confessions. When Nikkah comes, it isn't the climax - it's the beginning. This is not a love story where hearts fall recklessly. It's where two souls fall correctly. A gentle Muslim romance with hospital nights, shy smiles, and a forever built one prayer at a time.

Set in the culturally rich and traditional backdrop of Pakistan, Hania Zafar Ali and Zafar Sherkhan Ali were more than just cousins-they were destined for each other. Born into the same sprawling household, they grew up together, sharing not just rooms and memories, but the unspoken knowledge that one day, they would be husband and wife. In a family where marriages often intertwine relatives to preserve ties and legacies, Hania and Zafar's union was decided at their births. Hania, the youngest and most cherished daughter, is gentle and shy, shielded by her overprotective elder brother Kaif. Zafar, on the other hand, is fiery, headstrong, and possessive-traits that both attract and intimidate Hania. But their seemingly perfect match is tested when their marriage transitions from familial obligation to a deeply personal relationship. Zafar's fiery ego-his anaa-clashes with Hania's quiet devotion, especially when family interference threatens their bond. "Anaa" is a poignant tale of love nurtured over years, challenged by pride and family dynamics, and tested by personal insecurities. Can two people, bound by tradition and destiny, overcome the weight of their own egos to forge a love that is truly theirs?
