Hello Readers! This was originally a Bepannaah/Adiya fanfic, but I am publishing this story as an Arshi fanfic as well. I hope this fandom enjoys this story just as much as Adiya fans did. Description: A marriage of convenience between Arnav and Kushi. A tragedy brought them together and both knew they can never love each other. But then why were they drawn to each other? Why couldn't they stop themselves from coming closer? See their relationship develop in this new love story. "Tum meri zindagi mein sukoon le ke ayi...lekin tum zaroorat kab ban gayi patha hi nahin chala..." DISCLAIMER: The concept is inspired from the movie Bewafa, so I take no credit for that. I also take no credit for the characters of Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon or the pictures. HOWEVER, this story's development, the scenes, and the dialogues are mine. Any similarities to other works is purely coincidence. Any inspirations or references to other works...I will credit to at the end of chapters. This story will be in English, with some dialogues and lines in Hindi. Please forgive me for any grammatical mistakes as Hindi is not my first language. Plagiarism will not be tolerated under any circumstances. Remember, even "inspirations" require credit so please be respectful of my work just like I give credit to whoever I am inspired by. Lastly, please let me know if you like this story. I love reading comments. Feedback is always welcome, as long as you keep it constructive. Thank you so much for giving this story a chance! I'm hoping to connect with Arshi fans through this story.

"Is she your wife?" she asked hesitantly. "Yes", Avishek said no more. Is he not going to introduce me? I should leave. It's clear, they wanted to be alone, to talk about whatever the hell they wanted to talk. I managed a smile and said, "I'll wait in the car", and left before anyone said anything. I walked out of the café, walked to the car, opened the door and flopped into the passenger seat. She's back. The love of his life, she's back. Whenever my mind wandered about Avishek's past, I had always pictured that girl as this beautiful woman who turned heads when she walked into the room. I was right. Ruchika was beautiful. Even with dark circles under her eyes, messy hair that looked like she hadn't washed it for days, her tired smile, she was still beautiful. I could only imagine how she was when they were young. Why now though? After all these years?

Arnav has blamed her as the biggest mistake of his life. The family whom she had loved more than herself has literally blamed her for every mishap happened in their lives, her sister whom she had considered as her own was hand tied to do anything for her. She thought for once, what is my life...? Her parents had left her when she was too young leaving her to struggle in this cruel world all y herself.... Ofcourse, her maasi's family had adopted her as their own child and provided her with everything they had and could afford, they loved her immensely .... She ofcourse was a jovial and loving person ....kind , soft-hearted.....but .....why is she so good? So childish ?.... She had built a wall around her mature self, engaged herself with her child like nature to protect herself from the demons inside her heart, demons which had shown her the crueality of the world even before she knew what it was.... She was destroyed and devaststed even before she knew what had hit her.... But at the end of the day, when the only man she had loved with all heart had called her the 'biggest mistake' of his life.... She had always had this feeling of useless, unwanted, unloved, when her parents left her but she had somehow pushed out herself before she can fall into the pit hole of dark and depressing thoughts....but will she be able to do that or will she fall back and let the darkness and depression consume her..... How is she gonna get back to life?

FAN FICTION - because I'm a fan of Sidharth Shukla and Shehnaaz Kaur Gill, and is fictional. I gain no profits from this. It also has made up characters and fictional events. It is for entertainment purposes only, and I gain absolutely no profits from writing this, apart using this platform to express my love for SidNaaz and talk about issues and important events in life. This book also covers issues of mental health, relationships, motherhood, hard pregnancies, mental issues, familial standings, etc. It's filled with empowerment, with the utmost respect and love for Sidharth and Shehnaz. Its because I'm a fan who writes fiction. Thank you. The same Bigg Boss, the same game but what if love collided in ways you never thought before? What if Sidharth and Shehnaz struggle to find a way to keep their life under wraps with a 150 cameras around, when things fall against them time and again, will they rise? Or will it end what never began? #SidNaaz a bunch of what ifs.
