When two strangers cross paths, neither expects the kind of spark that could set their world on fire. Rishi Sehgal isn't just a man-he's a presence. A London-born heartthrob with deep roots in Delhi and Hyderabad, he walks the tightrope between old-world charm and modern grace. At 27, he's built a life many only dream of-confident, magnetic, and always in control. But even he can't predict what happens when fate throws him into Aarna's orbit. Aarna Hegde is a storm wrapped in sunshine. The youngest daughter of one of Hyderabad's wealthiest families, she's spoiled, yes-but self-aware, razor-sharp, and never sorry about who she is. She doesn't chase trouble. She is trouble-with a smile that stings and eyes that dare. Their worlds collide at the bachelorette of Aarna's sister and Rishi's cousin in Hyderabad. For Rishi, it's another family event. For Aarna, it's her spotlight. But between stolen glances and teasing sparks, something real begins to rise. He wasn't planning to stay. She wasn't looking for anything real. But love doesn't ask-it entangles, it tests, it ties knots around hearts and refuses to let go. And as wedding season spins on, so does their fate-twisting, burning, binding. They were never looking for love... But sometimes love finds you. Wild, messy, electric-and impossible to undo.
