Naikare
A failed writer. A celebrated fraud. And a love that was nothing but a calculated contract.
Raj is a talented but impoverished soul, trapped between the memories of his humble village and the crushing failure of Mumbai. His world changes when he is approached by Manasi, a glamorous, bestselling author from his past. She promises him fame, passion, and a way out, claiming to see the artistic genius the world rejected.
Blinded by her seductive promises and the intense physical closeness that follows, Raj allows himself to be consumed by her ambition. But Manasi's 'love' is a strategic move-a manipulative ploy to exploit Raj's authentic, rural voice for her next big historical novel.
As Raj ascends the ladder of success under Manasi's control, a darker shadow looms: the cunning politician Vasant, who eyes Manasi with a ruthless, predatory gaze. The ultimate truth is revealed in a devastating clue-a physical scar that exposes Manasi's deep web of lies and betrayal, linking her to the man Raj despises.
Now, Raj must choose: remain a pawn in Manasi's game, or unleash a vengeance that will shatter the lives of all three.
In the world of Prati-shodh, success is bought with betrayal, and the price of passion is the complete loss of the self.
