Ishq by chance - where it all began

"She's just a rival, nothing else-and never will be," he shouted.

Vihaan Chopra (16) is the class topper and the heartthrob of the school. Girls admire him, teachers praise him, but he keeps his head down-his eyes only on his dream of becoming a national-level basketball player. The only problem? His mother has other plans-she wants him to be a civil officer. Vihaan is focused, disciplined... and believes he despises her.

"He thinks he's smart, but to me, he's just stupid," she rolled her eyes.

Navya Malhotra (16) is one of the class topper-a cheerful, witty girl who's always smiling. But behind her sunshine is a life full of shadows. With a distant father and the pressure to be the "perfect" daughter, Navya hides her true dream: to become a singer. Caught between expectations and her passion, she's fighting her own silent battle.

They were supposed to be enemies. Just rivals. Nothing more.
But fate doesn't always follow the rules.

Join this story of banter, heartbreak, ambition, and unexpected love-where two opposites find a connection they never saw coming.
