Meet Arjun Singh Shekhawat,a single glare from him and you would know what the phrase "cold shivers" actually means.A twenty- six year old man with a face so beautiful that would even put the angels to shame.Tall? Absolutely. Muscular? Without a doubt. Arrogant? You bet. An ACP officer? Check that off too. He was all business, all the time. But life had a surprise in store for him - one that was about to challenge his tough exterior in ways he never saw coming. And then there's Avani Shree, a twenty year old med student who knows her way around a hospital as much as she knows her way around a sarcastic retort.Dare to mess with her or her loved ones and you would find yourself in hell- her hell. Behind her cool and playful exterior is a brain of Maa Sarswati, strength of Maa Durga and temper of Maa Kali,she has all the power to burn you down to ashes. When fate tosses ACP Arjun and Avani together, it's a clash of personalities like no other. Their witty comebacks turn into a game of tag that's about to lead them somewhere they've never been before. But wait, here's the twist: With every sarcastic remark,curse and heated glance towards each other,they are also about to exchange something which is "beautifully stupid". Amidst the dangers lurking around and the dark shadows of the past- a rose is blossoming.A rose so beautiful and pure that the thorns growing with it- on it is slowly losing its significance. But, could this be true? Are thorns that easy to be outshined by a single rose?Or are they going to evolve into something far more dangerous and agonizing? And so begins a tale of unexpected bonds and hearts that refuse to be ignored. Get ready for a journey that'll make you smile, laugh, blush and maybe shed a tear or two.
