Khushi Kumari Gupta was a beautiful hazel girl, someone who was silent, introverted, and too studious. She likes silence and Arnav Singh Raizada, an extroverted man, fun, loud, and everything that Khushi is not. They were exactly opposite to each other and maybe that's why people say, opposites attract. When Arnav Singh Raizada bumps into Khushi Kumari Gupta, he's instantly attracted to her. And when Khushi doesn't respond to his token of friendship, he gets involved in affecting her, sometimes it's through his pranks, and sometimes it's by his flirting. While Khushi is too responsible and focused on disciplined, Arnav wasn't exactly that. He made sure Khushi is aware of that too. And that's how, the hazel-eyed girl, which was hidden by her spectacles, starts responding to Arnav's endeavourments.
