"He left once, breaking her heart. Now he's back-and she's not just protecting her own heart... she's protecting the one little girl who calls him Uncle Architect." Meera & Vikram's slow-burn second-chance romance, where forgiveness, family, and a mischievous daughter might just rewrite the rules of love. Meera Joshi never forgot Vikram Rao-the boy she loved, the man who left without a word, and the one who broke her heart. Now, years later, she's a strong, independent woman, raising her bright and mischievous daughter, Aashi, while fighting for her community as a passionate NGO worker. Vikram Rao walked away once, chasing ambition and leaving behind a life he didn't know he would miss forever. Returning to Mumbai for a redevelopment project, he finds Meera on the opposite side-professional, poised, and everything he still can't resist. What begins as tense negotiations and forced civility quickly unravels into something deeper. Through late-night field visits, chai breaks, school runs, and family gatherings, old memories resurface, sparks ignite, and hearts long for what was once lost. But Meera isn't alone. Aashi-her clever, spirited daughter-has a heart full of opinions and a soft spot for the man who calls himself Uncle Architect. Vikram must not only win back Meera's trust but also earn a place in her little family. From awkward silences to tender touches, shared laughter to quiet heartbreak, "Back to You" is a slow-burn second-chance romance about love that waits, forgiveness that heals, and family that binds

When London-bred Riya Saxena visits her ancestral village, she expects boredom, not a life-changing scandal. Modern, rebellious, and unapologetically free, Riya has no intention of bending to outdated traditions. But one accidental kiss with Dhruv Malhotra, the ruthless heir to a powerful legacy and future ruler of 65 villages, changes everything. In a place where honor outweighs freedom, a single moment sparks chaos. To protect family reputation, Dhruv's iron-willed mother makes one unforgivable decision: Riya will marry Dhruv. Forced into a world of ghunghat, control, and suffocating expectations, Riya refuses to surrender. But Dhruv is no ordinary village head. He is powerful. Possessive. Bound by duty. And as rebellion clashes with tradition, hatred slowly ignites into something far more dangerous... Love. In a marriage neither wanted, can two broken worlds survive each other? Or will legacy destroy them both?
