Being the grandson of Ashish Malhotra, who vowed his best friend, Ram Murthy, the promise of marrying off their children. Both friends, being blessed with boys, passed on the promise/wish to the third generation of Manik Malhotra and Nandini Murthy.
Just as Ram and Ashish were best friends, their sons, Vinay and Raj were best friends, and so were Manik and Nandini, till Nandini flew off to USA with her family. 6 years in USA brought an unfortunate turn in Nandini's life. When her parents perished in a fatal car accident, her brother being an eight year old was in shock and lost his voice. Due to this incident, Nandini and Rishabh had to go to Mangalore.
Nandini found her solace in music and dreamt of becoming a versatile playback singer. She had forgotten the name of her would-be husband, but remembered every little detail about him. It was the same case for Manik. He lived a luxurious life in Mumbai with his parents and had five other best friends, Cabir, Mukti, Alya, Dhruv, and Veebha. Excluding Veebha, they made the unbreakable music band, FAB 5. Veebha is a beautiful classical dancer, while the rest were inclined to music.
12 years after that very day of MaNan's bond being formed, they would be destined to meet in SPACE Academy, which is India's number one music and arts college. Let's see what fate holds for them.
• Previously known as "LOVE".
He's arrogant, rebellious, and carries an ego larger than life itself-Manik Malhotra, a man born with a silver spoon and an iron will. He has everything: a loving family, friends closer than brothers, wealth, fame, and looks that could make any girl swoon. But with all his perfection came a firestorm of anger, one that could scorch the earth if unleashed. Known as "The Perfect Man," he seemed to have it all. But beneath that perfect exterior lay one flaw-Manik Malhotra didn't believe in love. He scoffed at it, ridiculed it, called it nothing but a myth, a foolish waste of time.
Love? It was a joke to him. He laughed at those who believed in it, mocking anyone who dared bring it up-even his own friends weren't safe from his ridicule.
Then *she* walked into his life. And everything changed.
She, with her innocent heart and a smile that held magic, entered his world and turned it inside out. Nandini Murthy-a soft, fragile soul-became the force that shattered his ego and tore down his defenses. She didn't just shake his life, she brought him to his knees, and for the first time, Manik couldn't rise. He could only fall-deeply, helplessly in love. She became both his greatest downfall and his most beautiful reality.
Join me on the journey of Nandini Murthy and Manik Malhotra-a love story like no other.
