A poignant tale of two souls destined to collide, clash and ultimately find redemption in each other. At its core, the story explores the intricate dance between trauma and trust, showcasing how vulnerability, patience and genuine love can mend even the most fractured hearts. Shivansh Randhawa, a formidable force, a successful CEO whose commanding presence masks a tumultuous past marked by childhood trauma and betrayal. His arrogance and cold demeanor stem from deeply rooted scars and he harbors a cynical belief that women are driven by greed, making him dismissive and rude, especially towards those he perceives as insincere. Prarthana Malhotra, a gentle, naive girl with an unyielding spirit. An orphan who survives on her humble job as a chef in a small restaurant, her quiet strength is shadowed by the pain she carries, pain she endures in silence, hiding her wounds behind a shy, innocent exterior. Their life takes an unexpected turn when they find themselves entangled in a forced arranged marriage, a marriage arranged by him-Shivansh Randhawa. Why he married her forcefully? As their worlds collide, initial misunderstandings and deep-seated prejudices threaten to keep them apart. Yet, beneath the layers of hurt and skepticism, a fragile bond begins to form-one built on innocence, patience and the unspoken hope of healing. Through turbulent trials and moments of vulnerability, both Shivansh and Prarthana embark on a transformative journey-learning to confront their pasts, breaking down barriers and discovering that love, with all its imperfections, can be the most powerful force of redemption. Will they succeed in healing each other?

Every beginning has ghosts. Every kiss carries the weight of what came before. She wasn't supposed to fall again. Not after the storm she survived. But then came a man who listened, who stayed - who saw her scars and didn't flinch. Shiv wasn't supposed to look back. Not when he'd built a life from nothing. But then came a woman whose voice felt like home - and whose past held more of his truth than he ever expected. They thought surviving was the hard part. But love? Love is harder. Especially when ghosts return in the form of a mother who abandoned him... And a past that refuses to stay buried. As Akshara and Shiv step into a fragile new beginning, old enemies resurface, secrets come unraveled, and danger begins to circle. They've found each other. But will the world let them keep what they've finally built? This is not a story about falling in love. It's about choosing it. Every day. Even when it hurts. Even when it's terrifying. Even when the past claws back. A canon-woven story - Book 2 in the "Jaan Ban Gaye" series. For lovers of slow burn, second chances, and deeply flawed, quietly burning people.
