Ishaan Malhotra, a quick-witted stand-up comedian in Mumbai, loves two things-cracking jokes and avoiding commitment. Tara Iyer, a sharp-tongued food critic from Chennai, believes in precision, practicality, and never mixing business with pleasure. When their mutual best friend, Ayesha, ropes them into planning her grand North-Indian-South-Indian wedding, the two are forced to work together despite their very obvious differences.

From clashing over wedding menus to barely surviving dance rehearsals, Ishaan and Tara are like oil and water-except with more sarcasm and stolen glances. As wedding chaos unfolds around them, so does something neither saw coming-a slow-burning, undeniable attraction.

With family drama, cultural clashes, and a countdown to the biggest wedding of the season, will Ishaan and Tara keep bickering their way to disaster, or will they realize that love, like the perfect masala chai, is all about the right mix?

A laugh-out-loud romantic comedy filled with sizzling chemistry, hilarious misunderstandings, and the magic of unexpected love.

𝐈𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐚𝐧 ♡ 𝐀𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐚 For Ananya Mehra, life is a constant battle of wits, grades, and unwavering ambition. She's determined to be the best, no matter what - or who - stands in her way. Enter Ishaan Malhotra: her greatest rival, the bane of her existence, and annoyingly, the one person who knows exactly how to push her buttons. When a high-stakes group project forces them to work together, Ananya braces herself for late nights filled with sarcastic remarks and clashing egos. But it's not just the project that pulls them into each other's orbit. Their lives, their ambitions, and their fiery personalities seem destined to collide in ways neither of them expected. "Ishaan: You're like that one kid in class who does extra homework just to annoy everyone else. Ananya: And you're like that cousin who only shows up at family weddings to eat all the biryani and disappear." Through heated debates, moments of surprising vulnerability, and banter sharper than a double-edged sword, Ananya begins to see a side of Ishaan she never thought existed. But what happens when rivalry gives way to something far more dangerous - something neither of them can control? Caught between ambition and an undeniable connection, Ananya and Ishaan find themselves in a game where winning might mean losing it all. "Ananya: Stay out of my way. Ishaan: What if I don't want to?" Their rivalry brought them together. The chaos of their lives kept them there. But can they survive the fallout when the numbers - and their hearts - don't lie? They were supposed to hate each other, not fall for each other. ✧ 𝐀 𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐫𝐨𝐦-𝐜𝐨𝐦 𝐢𝐧 𝐦𝐲 𝐬𝐭𝐲𝐥𝐞 ✧

Be My Special One by _authordina

"You're the most irritating guy I've ever met," she said, crossing her arms. "And you're the biggest drama queen this wedding has to suffer through," he said with a smirk. Ehmel came to her best friend's wedding for the dancing, the food, and the fun. What she didn't sign up for was being stuck with Salar-the Bride's brother and her sworn enemy. She's bold, loud, and refuses to play by the rules. He's cold, smug, and way too sure of himself. They can't be in the same room without clashing... but when family drama and shaadi chaos keep pulling them together, sparks start flying in all the wrong-and maybe right-directions. Because somewhere between the insults and the stolen glances, hate starts to look dangerously like love. 💃 A sizzling desi romance. 🔥 Enemies-to-lovers tension. 🌺 Drama, laughter, and a Bollywood-worthy shaadi.
