What happens when two people with completely different notions about everything in life, including "love," decide to get together, even if it's just for show?
Ishani Mehrotra, 25, a Financial Analyst-a strong, independent, and headstrong woman shaped by a neglectful childhood and a painful past. She has given up on love and believes it's not for her. However, she is in dire need of a boyfriend to escape a business marriage her father has arranged for her.
Rudraksh Raichand, 29, a game developer and hacker who is all smiles and sunshine on the outside but a shattered soul within. The only people he cares about are his family, who are determined to see him married as soon as possible.
Ishani and Rudraksh decide that the solution to both their problems is a relationship-or rather, a "fake" relationship-unaware of what destiny has in store for them.
Witness what happens when two broken souls, burdened by their pasts, collide and fall for each other. Will they be able to overcome their painful histories and find love, or will they end up hurting even more in the process?

CAUSE WE DON'T
Some love stories begin with a choice. Theirs begins with a lie. Ishaani Awasthi never planned to become someone's fiancée overnight-least of all Yuvaan Rao's. He's reckless charm wrapped in confidence, she's control stitched together by responsibility. When families, traditions, and one disastrous misunderstanding push them into a fake engagement, they do what anyone desperate would do. A fake engagement. A real mess. And feelings no one planned for. They pretend. But pretending is dangerous when the house is full of elders who believe in destiny, friends who believe in chaos, and hearts that were never meant to stay untouched. Between stolen glances, staged affection, late-night plans, and Bollywood-level dramatics, Ishaani and Yuvaan walk a fragile line-stretching time, dodging rituals, and lying to everyone except each other. Because somewhere between delaying mahurats and faking forever, the truth begins to breathe. And the question isn't if the lie will unravel. It's what survives when it does. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx A heartwarming rom-com that proves love can bloom in the middle of life's beautiful chaos. Yuvaan and Ishaani couldn't be more different - or so they think. He's a free-spirited dreamer with a love for the wild; she's a grounded realist juggling responsibilities and expectations. But when fate (and a series of hilarious, messy circumstances) keeps throwing them together, they're forced to confront not only their growing feelings but their own vulnerabilities. Through heartbreaks, missteps, and moments of unexpected connection, Yuvaan and Ishaani's journey becomes one of realizing you don't have to carry every burden alone - sometimes, the greatest strength comes from letting someone else in and leaning on their shoulder when you need it most.
