Inaaya has rejected more marriage proposals than she can count. When her mother finally threatens to marry her off to an egoistic politician she absolutely refuses to say yes to, Inaaya panics. So she lies. Cornered at a family function and desperate to escape a life she doesn't want, Inaaya blurts out a lie: she already has a boyfriend. Moments later, the door opens, and the first guy who walks in is Viraj. Her childhood enemy. Former best friend. And the one person she never planned to involve in this mess. Recently back from the UK and now living on the same floor, Viraj becomes her very inconvenient fake boyfriend. What begins as a temporary arrangement to protect Inaaya from an unwanted marriage slowly unravels into something neither of them planned for. Old grudges resurface, familiar comfort returns, and feelings they never resolved refuse to stay buried. As family pressure mounts and the lie grows harder to maintain, Inaaya and Viraj must decide whether this relationship was ever truly pretend...or if the safest place they've found is with each other. She only meant to escape one proposal. She didn't mean to fall for the guy she swore she hated. ✨️Fake dating ✨️Childhood enemies ✨️Forced proximity ✨️Rom-com ✨️Bollywood coded © 2026 Procrastininks.

Before diving into "Intertwined Hearts", make sure to read "Rival Hearts", already available on my account, for the full experience! Four years ago, Aashna and Dhruvin's love story ended in a heartbreak. She left for London with shattered trust, and he buried his emotions beneath his rising success in the film industry. Time changed them-Aashna became a published writer, and Dhruvin, a celebrated director. But some stories refuse to stay in the past. When a wedding in Goa forces them back under the same roof, old wounds reopen, and unspoken words burn between them. Every glance carries history, every touch threatens to undo the distance they've carefully built. Between unresolved anger, undeniable chemistry, and a whirlwind of emotions, they find themselves drawn into a storm neither was prepared for. But fate has a way of surprising even the most stubborn hearts. And as their paths collide once again, the future holds a twist that neither of them saw coming-one that will change their lives forever.

All Aashna ever wanted was to stay invisible, survive university, and secure her Literature degree. The plan was simple-graduate, win the scholarship, and fly to the UK for her master's. No distractions, no drama. But then he happened. A boy with honey-brown eyes, a teasing smile, and an annoying talent for making her despise college life. Dhruvin had his priorities straight-enjoy his last two years of university, ace his master's in Mass Media, and focus on his badminton game to compete at the national level. But suddenly, his well-laid plans seem impossible to follow. And the reason? A girl in a pink cotton kurta, ripped jeans, and silver jhumkas, walking straight into his life... and messing with his heart.
