"I don't want to become a mother." This line is a taboo for women in some parts of the world, and so was for Khusi Mukherjee. At the age of 25, independent and single, she wanted to live her life according to her rules. But everything changed when she met Bhaskar Goswami, a potential groom selected by her mother. They met, talked, liked each other and got married. Sounds like happily ever after, isn't it? But no, there's a small twist to it. Khusi never wanted to bear a child, and that's what made her a pariah in Indian society. Will Khusi be able to endure the pressure of her decision? Will she keep her head high and stick to her beliefs, or bend to the social norms? What will happen when Bhaskar comes home one day, with an absurd proposition and a revelation, that could change Khusi's life all together? She has to face the biggest challenge of her life, her husband's child. What new surprises and people awaits her, and would it be for good or will it shatter her forever?

Lavika Mehra had dreams far bigger than love, and Ishaan Agnihotri had walls far stronger than fate. They weren't meant to cross paths, let alone collide. But from the moment they did, the universe never stopped pulling them back together-through unspoken confessions, stolen glances, and a connection neither of them could ignore. He tried to resist. She tried to move on. But love is never that simple. Between the weight of responsibilities, a past that refuses to fade, and a fate that keeps testing them-will they surrender to the inevitable or let destiny slip through their fingers? Because some loves are gentle. Some loves are kind. And some? Some are written in fate, impossible to escape.

Chitrakshi was fourteen when she first stepped into the grand halls of her husband's home-a world where women lived in whispers and men held the weight of power. She was a child bride, bound by sacred fire to Mayukh Choudhury, the Naeb of an indigo plantation... a man who did not belong to her, nor she to him. He was distant not cruel, but practical. To him, love was a distraction, and justice a dream too fragile to touch. Yet, the soil of Bengal was restless. The farmers bled for the white man's dye, drowning in debt, their fields chained to a crop they could neither eat nor escape. Chitra saw their suffering, their silent cries, and for the first time, she defied the silence that bound her world. But Mayukh, her husband, stood on the other side. Between them grew an unspoken war: one of ideals, of duty, of love not yet understood. He admired the British for their discipline, she despised them for their cruelty. He spoke of power, she spoke of justice. He held back, she ran forward. They were bound together, yet pulling apart -two forces neither meeting nor breaking free. 1859, A lot had happened in the past six years. As the world changed, as history was being written in blood and ink, she clung to the only thing left of him -a hundred letters sent, never read, never answered. But when the last letter is finally written, will love still remain? INDIGO: THE HUNDRED LOST LETTERS is not just a tale of the past. It is a question that lingers even today: What does it mean to wait for someone who may never return?

Zanjeer
Meher never had marriage in mind when she returned home after a year away. But when family duty speaks louder than desire, resistance becomes a luxury she can't afford - and just like that, she finds herself bound to Asad Ahmad Khan. He's everything she didn't expect - gentle, patient, and impossibly kind. A man who seems too good to be true... and maybe he is. As days slip into months, Meher begins to question everything she once feared about love - Could this really be the kind of marriage people dream of? But not all stories unfold in warmth. Some settle in like a chill in the air - unnoticed at first, until it's far too familiar to ignore. It isn't always love that lingers - sometimes, it's the weight of what it leaves behind. A silence not born of absence, but of restraint - a hush that presses in like invisible manacles, slowly tightening around the spirit. Until even breath feels bound, movements measured, and the heart quietly manacled... by something far heavier than love. By something far more haunting, Something as menacing as a Zanjeer.![𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐒 𝐓𝐑𝐔𝐋𝐋𝐘 [𝐔𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐑 𝐄𝐃𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/360190026-256-k419653.jpg)
