*When duty collides with destiny, and protocol meets passion* --- What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object? In the treacherous terrain where military precision clashes with medical compassion, Major Mayank Kashyap and Dr. Yamini Singh are about to find out. **She saves lives. He takes them. Both are excellent at their jobs.** Dr. Yamini Singh doesn't believe in following orders, especially when they conflict with her Hippocratic oath. Emergency medicine is her battlefield, and she's never met a protocol she couldn't bend in service of saving lives. Reckless? Perhaps. Effective? Undeniably. Major Mayank Kashyap lives by a different code entirely. Special forces, counter-terrorism, and a mysterious double life that requires him to vanish for thirty days every quarter. His world runs on discipline, hierarchy, and secrets buried so deep that even his closest friends don't know the whole truth. When an earthquake throws them together in the rubble of disaster, their first meeting ends with him physically restraining her and her questioning his authority. Professional courtesy? Not exactly. Mutual respect? Hardly. Yet somehow, beneath the antagonism, something dangerous begins to grow. One drunken confession. One impossible promise. One word written on a palm that changes everything. From earthquake zones to terrorist attacks, from military bases to hospital corridors, from family secrets to battlefields: their story unfolds across a landscape where personal becomes political, where protection becomes persecution, and where the line between salvation and destruction is razor-thin. *Code Name: Ishq* is more than a romance: it's an exploration of what happens when two people perfect at their jobs discover that their most challenging mission might be learning to love each other. It's about the weight of secrets, the cost of duty, and the courage required to choose vulnerability in a world that rewards armor.

When duty and desire collide under Kashmir's starlit sky. Dr. Yamini Singh never expected a hiking trip to end in military detention. Major Mayank Kashyap never expected a civilian trespasser to challenge everything he thought he knew about discipline and desire. In the shadow of snow-capped mountains, their worlds collide with electric intensity-she with her razor-sharp wit and healing hands, he with his unwavering command and carefully guarded heart. But when misunderstandings and military protocols tear them apart, fate conspires to bring them back together amid dangerous conspiracies and border conflicts that test not only their professional skills but the deepest corners of their hearts. From Delhi's starless skies to Kashmir's constellation-filled nights, theirs is a love story written across boundaries-of duty, distance, and the delicate dance between what the mind commands and what the heart knows to be true. Some connections, like the stars themselves, are simply inevitable.
