In a world where love is often arranged, Kabir Oberoi finds himself in an alliance he never truly asked for. As the eldest son of a respected family, his life has always been dictated by duty and expectation. When he is introduced to Ira-a woman with a quiet strength and an unassuming beauty-he is neither captivated nor interested.
To Kabir, marriage is another responsibility, not an emotional connection. He is determined to fulfill his duty, but never to open his heart.
Ira, on the other hand, has long shed her insecurities. After overcoming a difficult past of body image issues, she has transformed herself not just physically, but emotionally. Though her confidence has grown, Ira still carries the scars of her previous struggles. She's ready to embark on this new chapter with an open heart, hoping that Kabir will see her for who she truly is, rather than just the woman he was arranged to marry.
But when the two collide, what was meant to be a marriage of convenience turns into a journey of self-discovery, misunderstanding, and, perhaps, something more-if they can open themselves up to the possibility of love.
