SHIVAKSH SINGH RATHORE He walks like sin in a suit, speaks only when necessary, and carries the weight of empires in his eyes. Ruthless to the world. Silent to strangers. But soft as a whisper for her. 28-year-old CEO of Rathore Group & Industries. The kind of man whose presence changes the room. The world fears him. She doesn't. Because while the world sees his arrogance, She's the only one who sees his ache, his truth, and his softness. RUHANSHI SHARMA She is innocence wrapped in grace, the kind of girl who looks like she stepped out of a fairytale-so delicate that even the wind feels shy brushing past her. She's a 21-year-old fashion designing student, soft-spoken yet strong-willed, unaware of her beauty, untouched by the chaos of the world. Her heart is her most stunning feature-pure, unguarded, and ready to love. To the world, she's a dreamy girl. To him... she's "Ruh." FOR SHIVAKSH SHE IS "Meri saanson ki wajah, meri khamoshiyon ki dhadkan." ("The reason behind my breath, the heartbeat of my silences.") FOR RUHANSHI HE IS Sab ke liye Shivaksh Rathore ek naam hai... lekin uske liye?" "Woh uski rooh hai, uski muskurahat ka sabab." ("For everyone else, Shivaksh Rathore is just a name... but for her?" "He's her soul, the reason behind her smile.")
