In "Across Oceans and Across Hearts," two lives from different parts of India converge in the heart of the United States, where love blossoms despite the challenges of distance and difference.

Aarav, an introverted and thoughtful student from Tamil Nadu, and Meera, a bold, extroverted girl from Mumbai, find themselves worlds apart from home at the University of Michigan. Navigating a new country, they are brought together by fate and shared experiences, though their personalities couldn't be more different. Aarav, quiet and reserved, is drawn to Meera's vivacious spirit, while Meera finds herself captivated by Aarav's calm and steady nature.

What starts as a series of cute, unexpected interactions turns into something deeper as they bond over cultural differences, shared ambitions, and their journey of self-discovery in a foreign land. But the road to love is never smooth. Aarav is haunted by a past love from India, a secret he keeps close to his chest. As Meera's feelings for him grow, she remains unaware of the emotional baggage that might threaten to unravel everything between them.

Across Oceans and Across Hearts is the beginning of a beautiful romance, where chemistry ignites in the most unexpected moments, and love quietly builds, despite the cultural and emotional challenges they face. As their bond strengthens, they must learn to navigate the complexities of their relationship while discovering themselves in a world far from the one they know.

Taking two cups in my hand. The moment I turned around I clash with something, well to be correct on Someone. But before I can fall, a strong hand got wrapped around me, making me steady. Coming back to my senses my gaze falls on his white shirt which is now daubed with coffee. "Holyshit" I swear, and he gave me the death look. "Sorry" I apologize "For what? For swearing so freely or for making my day great by pouring on coffee." "For both, sorry, I can help you with a shirt or buy you a cup of coffee?" "No need, just walk with your open eyes.

Aayan x Aashi: Grumpy x Sunshine, Age Gap, Marriage of Convenience, Contract Marriage Aayan - "Please don't expect love or compassion from me. I can promise you respect, but I'll never be able to give you the place of a wife. However, I can be your friend, for the time being." "Good," Aashi replied straightforwardly, "I expect nothing more than privacy and space from you. We won't interfere in each other's lives." "Agreed. I'll draft a contract for this marriage and send it to your place. Please review it carefully and sign it," Aayan responded. Story Overview: Aayan Singhania, the disciplined and driven CEO of Adviti Corporation Ltd., agrees to marry Aashi to fulfill his late wife's dying wish. Punctuality is his lifeblood, and his workaholic, career-oriented nature has built an impenetrable wall around his heart. His heart is locked away, sealed off by the promise he made to himself to never love again after the loss of his wife. Aashi Rathore, on the other hand, is his complete opposite-clumsy, perpetually late, and brimming with energy. She's a sweet, extroverted young woman who hides a deep fear of love, rooted in past traumas. Yet, beneath her bubbly exterior lies a girl who still dreams of the kind of love she reads about in books, the kind that makes life worth waking up to each day. When destiny intertwines their lives, will they be able to break down the barriers they've built around their hearts? Will love blossom between them despite the odds, or will they remain locked in the roles they've chosen for themselves?
