Every six months, the tenant living on the fifth floor vanishes. No warnings. No witnesses. Just a locked door and a name that fades from memory. When it's Lavanya's turn, she says she doesn't believe the stories. Until she finds a diary hidden deep in the wall, its pages filled with the lives of people who once lived where she does now. Each entry is colder than the last. Each one written with impossible detail. As the sixth month draws closer, her worries spike. The only thought troubling her is this : "Will the next name be mine?"

Scandalous and Relentless. These are the two words used to describe Mayra Sharma. Being an outsider in the dazzling world of Bollywood, she had learnt it the hard way, that she'd have to fake her way up the pedestal of fame. Now that her career is on the rise, she finds herself tangled in somebody else's mess, such that her personal life is splashed across the tabloids for all the wrong reasons. With the stakes so high, she has no option but to play along and fabricate a fake relationship with the golden boy of the nation. Arrogant and Charismatic. Aaryan Malhotra was born with a silver tongue and an enigmatic smile, and he unapologetically flaunts it to the world. Besides being a musical prodigy, his life revolves around the small circle of people who are close to him. For someone who is loved by everyone, he, ironically, finds the notion of love atrocious. Until love holds his hand in it's gentle grip, and pulls him towards it. So when someone close to him is threatened to exposure following an unfortunate sequence of events, he finds himself entangled with a woman who has a history of stealing headlines. As they ignite a media firestorm with their flashy public displays, the lines between reality and deception blur. And with the spotlight upon them, the shadows of deception grow darker. Secrets are exposed and scandals erupt, as they navigate their way across the treacherous waters of love and lies. But as they say, fame's a game, and we are it's pawns. So how long can they fake it until reality catches up with them? Will the rose of their fabricated romance blossom into love or will it wilt under the spotlight? Maybe you'll get the answer in tomorrow's headlines ;)

Which is how he ends up introducing his bodyguard as his new girlfriend who he's so besotted by. In a nutshell, it's a set-up. So what could go wrong?
