Sanskari Stories

A modest, offbeat take on the award-winning, critically acclaimed Indian family drama: Saath Nibhana Saathiya. The authors are aware of the enormous shoes they need to fill and hope they can live up to the subtly written, nail-biting plot lines in the SNS Cinematic Universe. Happy reading!

Title: Naqaab (The Mask) Main Couple 1 Ayaan Rathore - 32, cold, calculative, and ruthless mafia boss hidden behind the image of a flawless billionaire tycoon. He rules both the business and the underworld with an iron fist, and no one dares question him. He doesn't believe in love, only control. Isha Mehra - 25, a strong-willed, morally upright, and wildly successful businesswoman from Delhi. Traditional at heart (sanskari), she believes in hard work, respect, and family values. She's not afraid to speak her mind-even to powerful men. Their paths cross when Isha's company unknowingly enters a deal that interferes with Ayaan's shadow business empire. Sparks fly. But when Ayaan tries to "buy" or intimidate her out, she refuses with steel in her voice. It's the first time someone stands up to him without flinching... and he's intrigued. Obsessed, even. Main Couple 2 Reyan Rathore - 21, Ayaan's younger brother. Known as the "mafia prince" in their circles, but unlike his brother, he's soft-spoken, charming, and secretly hates the bloodshed. Sent to a prestigious university to "stay clean," he hides his darker family connections. Arjun Mehra - 19, Isha's younger brother. A sunshine boy-innocent, sweet, bubbly, and always humming Bollywood love songs. Everyone at uni adores him... especially Reyan. What starts as Reyan protecting Arjun from bullies turns into stolen glances, secret gifts, and forbidden affection. --- Story themes: Mafia vs morality Enemies to lovers (Ayaan x Isha) Forbidden romance (Reyan x Arjun) Ayaan becoming possessive and vulnerable only with Isha Arjun healing Reyan's emotional wounds Powerful family feuds, secrets, and eventual redemption
