"Dad, what's a soulmate?" Mia asked me, as I turned towards her. "A soulmate...," I replied with a smile, "...is someone like a best friend, but so much more- that one person in the world who knows you better than anyone else. It's someone who might not always be there with you, but will always inspire you to be a better person, a better version of yourself; someone who knows you for what you are, not what you pretend to be."

Some love stories begin with a choice. Theirs begins with a lie. Ishaani Awasthi never planned to become someone's fiancée overnight-least of all Yuvaan Rao's. He's reckless charm wrapped in confidence, she's control stitched together by responsibility. When families, traditions, and one disastrous misunderstanding push them into a fake engagement, they do what anyone desperate would do. A fake engagement. A real mess. And feelings no one planned for. They pretend. But pretending is dangerous when the house is full of elders who believe in destiny, friends who believe in chaos, and hearts that were never meant to stay untouched. Between stolen glances, staged affection, late-night plans, and Bollywood-level dramatics, Ishaani and Yuvaan walk a fragile line-stretching time, dodging rituals, and lying to everyone except each other. Because somewhere between delaying mahurats and faking forever, the truth begins to breathe. And the question isn't if the lie will unravel. It's what survives when it does. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx A heartwarming rom-com that proves love can bloom in the middle of life's beautiful chaos. Yuvaan and Ishaani couldn't be more different - or so they think. He's a free-spirited dreamer with a love for the wild; she's a grounded realist juggling responsibilities and expectations. But when fate (and a series of hilarious, messy circumstances) keeps throwing them together, they're forced to confront not only their growing feelings but their own vulnerabilities. Through heartbreaks, missteps, and moments of unexpected connection, Yuvaan and Ishaani's journey becomes one of realizing you don't have to carry every burden alone - sometimes, the greatest strength comes from letting someone else in and leaning on their shoulder when you need it most.

Mockingly. Ding ding ding? As in Ninja Hatori? He thought. " What if I prove that 'shaadi with me is not equal to barbadi'?" He asked pushing his hands into his pants pockets. "What do I get?" He asked further, slightly leaning towards her face now looking into her eyes at her eye level. "My whole respect and investment into our future." Without thinking anything she just let it out. Wait.
