Arohi Goenka is a fierce and independent businesswoman, hardened by the loss of her parents at a young age and the indifference of a family that never truly embraced her. Despite their coldness and her simmering resentment toward her step-sister, Akshara-whom she blames for her mother's death-Arohi shoulders the burden of protecting her family. Engaged to Neil Birla, a kind but sheltered man tied to her extended family, Arohi navigates a world of high stakes and hidden dangers.
Enter Abhimanyu Rajvanshi, her new bodyguard-a man Neil hires to protect her from recent threats to her business empire. Unknown to all, Abhimanyu is a ruthless mafia boss with a hidden agenda. Consumed by the pain of losing his parents to a conspiracy years ago, he believes the Goenka family is responsible and infiltrates Arohi's life, seeking revenge. Cold, calculating, and unyielding, Abhimanyu intends to destroy everything Arohi holds dear.
But Arohi's resilience and quiet vulnerability unsettle Abhimanyu's plans. As he witnesses her struggles to earn her family's approval, her fierce loyalty despite their indifference, and her selfless care for Akshara-despite their fraught history-Abhimanyu's hatred begins to waver. Against the backdrop of high-stakes business deals, violent confrontations, and tangled emotions, an undeniable connection sparks between Arohi and Abhimanyu, threatening to unravel both their worlds.
When Abhimanyu's true identity and motives come to light, Arohi must grapple with betrayal and heartbreak. As truths about their shared pasts emerge, the two must confront their demons and make impossible choices: Will Abhimanyu choose love over revenge? Can Arohi forgive the man who nearly destroyed her, or will their love story end in tragedy?
In a tale of passion, redemption, and the blurred lines between love and hate, Arohi and Abhimanyu must face the ultimate question: can two broken souls heal each other, or are some wounds too deep to mend?
