4 parts Ongoing MatureIn the pulsating heart of Mumbai, where dreams and skyscrapers touch the clouds, Neil and Rhea find themselves entangled in a web of their own making. Childhood friends turned big-city aspirants, they arrived six months ago with stars in their eyes-Neil as a junior researcher at a prestigious pharmaceutical company and Rhea as a budding fashionista at a top design school.
But Mumbai, the city of gold, doesn't come cheap. Struggling with sky-high rents and dwindling bank accounts, they stumble upon a golden opportunity: a perfect apartment at an unbelievable price. The catch? It's only available to married couples.
In a moment of desperation and genius, Rhea hatches a plan. "Let's fake it," she says, her eyes glinting with mischief. And just like that, Neil and Rhea become Mr. and Mrs. Mehta, the picture-perfect newlyweds.
Their charade works like a charm, landing them the keys to their dream home. However, as they settle into their roles, the line between pretense and reality begins to blur. Stolen glances across the breakfast table, accidental touches while doing the dishes, and the constant fear of being caught create a cocktail of tension and attraction neither expected.
Now, Neil and Rhea must navigate the treacherous waters of their growing feelings while maintaining appearances for nosy neighbors and surprise visits from the landlord. One slip could cost them their home, but staying in character might just cost them their hearts.
In a city where millions of stories unfold every day, theirs is a tale of friendship, love, and the lengths we go to find our place in the world. Will they stick to the script, or will Mumbai's magic rewrite their story into a real-life romance?
"Pretend Hearts" is a heartwarming romantic comedy that proves sometimes the best love stories start with a little white lie and a whole lot of Mumbai madness
