He was the empire. She was the earthquake. In a world where ambition is currency and power seduces more than love ever could, Manik Malhotra rules the boardroom with ruthless precision. Cold, calculating, and dangerously magnetic, he's built an empire where emotions have no seat at the table. Nandini Murthy is the last person he expected to walk through his glass doors-fierce, flawless, and utterly infuriating. A rising-star designer, she's here to build his brand... not bend to his control. But in a war of egos, every look is a challenge, and every late-night meeting blurs lines that were never meant to be crossed. What began as a clash of control turns into a battle for surrender-of power, of pain, and ultimately... of hearts. In the architecture of love and loss, who's really designing whose downfall?

Two souls from opposite worlds meet by chance, and in the quiet tension between them lies the possibility of change, understanding, and unexpected connection.

Nandini Murthy has always preferred the sidelines-quiet, observant, and content in her own world. With her extroverted brother, Abhimanyu, stealing the spotlight, she never minds blending into the background. Their bond is simple: no interference, no unnecessary questions. But one evening changes everything. When Abhimanyu invites his friends over for a match night, Nandini barely acknowledges them-except for one. Manik Malhotra. Her brother's best friend. The moment their eyes meet, something shifts. Manik, with his easy smirk and piercing gaze, is everything Nandini avoids-charming, confident, and dangerously perceptive. And yet, she can't ignore the way his presence lingers, the way he seems to see right through her silence. As stolen glances turn into secret conversations, a thrilling, undeniable connection builds between them. But when emotions grow deeper, so does the risk. Because if Abhimanyu finds out-about the lingering looks, the whispered words, the unspoken feelings-will it shatter the bond between them all? In a city that never sleeps, where secrets can either bring hearts closer or break them apart, Nandini must decide... is love worth the risk?

"Kasak (Ruk Ruk ke hone wali peeda)" the name itself says about the pain , the intermittent pain which characters are going to experience before they start loving each other. It's a love story of a powerful Mafia man for whom nothing matters more than the power and fear in the eyes of other person who is staring into his eyes. Despite being the man who is ruined more than being nurtured at the young age he do have one moral i.e. he respects women. It's also the story of a woman who preaches the women empowerment in front of the world but cries for basic rights in her own house. More than living she is repenting for her mistakes she did in the adolescence. She is not totally broken or weak but helpless in front of situations which breaks her little every day. Still she lives with a hope that one day may be she will get courage to change her fate nd make her life little bearable. She has lost hopes of having beautiful life but she tries to put any small effort into making someone's life beautiful.

Before I could think of anything my entire lunch made its exit through my mouth . What the hell! I just puked in front of him. Well done Nandini....... Cover credit : _khusiyaan_

MaNan from Kaisi yeh yaariaan. Nandini and Manik were just teenagers when they met each other. Both of them belong to rival gangs, they don't meant to be together. But then love just happens and so they fell in love. And again, they don't have everyday lives. Among guns, drugs, fights - they grew up. So, when shit happens, it's dangerous but what's love/hate when you don't fight for it?
