He doesn't believe in love. She was raised on it.
At a glittering, week-long wedding where India's biggest business families mingle, Avinash Malhotra-28, disciplined CEO, the wall that shields his joint family-just wants order. Shriya Srivastava-26, sunshine-bright event lead from her own close-knit clan-wants everything to feel warm and perfect. One wrong step, one cracked phone screen, and their first meeting becomes a small war.
Neither family is the enemy-but tradition, timing, and a public slip force a choice no one expected. To protect reputations and elders' honor, Avinash and Shriya agree to a circumstantial marriage. No promises. No romance. Only rules, distance... and constant "takkar."
But someone is watching. A hidden rival, obsessed and patient, turns shadows into threats. The tension tightens.
Full of cousin banter, grand traditions, warm kitchens, and midnight rooftops, When Hearts Collide is a tender, dramatic, desi slow-burn: from enemies in a crowded hallway to partners who choose each other. In the end, love is not loud; it is the quiet hand you reach for when the world turns dark... and the one that never lets go.
