After three complacent years of a contract marriage that suits both their needs emotionally but never physically, Arnav has had enough of desiring something more with his beautiful wife so decides to give her a choice; add sex to their relationship or allow him to find his release elsewhere. Will Khushi give herself over to her husband or watch as somebody else does?

Ishq par zor nahin hain yeh woh aatish ghalib Jo lagaye na lage aur bujhaye na bane (One has no power over love, it is that flame which neither can be set alight nor extinguished once lit) What if Khushi was already an officer the night she met Arnav? Two lives built on control collide under the weight of one unstoppable force: Jazba (Passion) Characters of Arnav, Khushi and others belong to their original creators. I claim no ownership, only reinterpretation. This work is entirely fictional.

Mumbai. The city of dreams. With shimmering Arabian Sea, glittering skyscrapers, glamorous Bollywood; everywhere sun hits here, this city dazzles. But beneath this warm dazzle, there is another Mumbai. The cold Mumbai. The dark Mumbai. The stronghold of mafia. Where narrow alleys are splattered with gun-powder and blood. Where lives are discarded like tissue papers. Where innocence and honesty are a waste of everyone's time. Where obscene amount of money circulates unaudited. Where star power does not fluctuate every Friday. And since years now, this formidable underworld is under Lala Amarnaath Vaghela's thumb. The powerful mafia kingpin who started his ascent from the slums of Dharavi years back, today he controls most of the Indian subcontinent's illegal dealings and organized crime with an iron fist. But not without help. Akash Ranjan Vaghela. Lalaji's grandson and his heir apparent. Apple of his grandfather's eyes, he is calculative, sly and cold-blooded. Arnav Singh Raizada. Lalaji's indispensable and cunning protege. Ruthless, he is as unapologetic as they come in this business. Everything is working smoothly in Lalaji's world. Like a well oiled machine. Or is it? Because apart from sharing Lalaji's trust, apparently these two capable young men also share an undisguised hatred for each other. Not above playing dirty in this high stakes arena, both are merely bidding their time to tear one another down. And it won't be long before lives will be pawned, loyalties will be questioned and the already shady line between right and wrong will completely disappear, crumbling everything around them like a house of cards. But no matter who emerges the winner out of the two, there is someone who will only lose. A torn heart which refuses to take sides. A girl who dared to love them both. Stubborn and loyal-to-a-fault Khushi. Full name Khushi Ranjan Vaghela. Akash Vaghela's beloved pampered baby sister. And the beautiful confusion of Arnav Singh Raizada's life.

"You have to marry me, for six months." "What?" "Or else I won't let your sister marry my brother." . . . . . "Yes, I'll marry you. " He married her out of hate, love or whatever he isn't sure of. She married him just to save her sister's marriage. And then came her prince charming, not to sweep her feet off from the ground to his heaven but just to love her, be with her and to support her.

Khushi is an internet famous 27 year old fashion designer from Lucknow. She has a chirpy and childish demeanor yet could not be more mature, brave and compassionate. She is the apple of her father's eye, loves Salman ji, cricket, keeping track of star signs and making jalebis is toh her therapy! She is desperate to expand her business outside social media and start her own fashion label. Willing to work hard, armed with her ever sharp wit and an optimistic twinkle in her eye, she is on a look out for a big-break opportunity to establish herself in the tough world of fashion business. And this couldn't happen in a more bizarre manner as she literally falls into it. Who knew ending up at the wrong place at the wrong time would in fact turn out to be the opposite - right place, right time and...right person. The fashion industry however is dominated by the King of Indian Fashion: Arnav Singh Raizada, known for his bridal and ethnic wear. And now, as the brand gears up to expand globally, Arnav Singh Raizada aka ASR is on a spree for assembling a team to get this transition right and is looking for someone that would make this re-positioning as a global venture a resounding success. But "life" does not stop happening because you have an obviously important international expansion to make, does it? On his trip for a pivotal fashion show (among other things) to Lucknow, a woman practically hijacks his runway and stumbles right into his arms! Read on to find out what happens when Arnav drags Khushi to Delhi to work for him and these two crazies struggle to overcome some critical personal and creative differences while working together. Will this choice be the worst decision of their lives? Will it be the beginning of their doom or start of something new?

Based on the popular show Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon, season 1, this is a rewrite of some of the events that ensued. Taking off from 17th July 2012 episode, here's what I hoped would have happened. - What if, Khushi had ended the contract marriage after the six months term? What if, though Shyaam's truth had been out, Khushi decided to walk out and make something out of herself. What if, even though Arnav relented and used tactics, Khushi gave herself the respect she sure deserved. Things would have been different for Khushi, and maybe Arnav would have realised what he is losing in the garb of arrogance and denial. (Unlike the show, this happens in the year 2005) ✨ Semi-AU.

What if instead of locking Khushi in Sheesh mahal, Arnav gives her a chance to prove herself?
