Manik Malhotra is a 23 year old, London returned, street smart guy with looks to die for. He could possibly get any job in the world. Still, he chooses to be employed as a bodyguard. What is the reason for this strange career choice? Is it because he is harbouring secrets that the world is unaware about? What happens when he crosses paths with an obnoxious, fucked-up yet stunningly pretty girl named Nandini Murthy?

54 parts Complete
The Childhood best friends Manik and Nandini shared a bond as strong as the dreams Manik secretly harbored. While his money-obsessed mother, Neyonika, despised their friendship and Manik's artistic aspirations, Nandini was his unwavering confidante, the only one who knew about his hidden passion for acting and songwriting. When Manik's parents violently rejected his dreams, destroying his lyrics and CDs, he spiraled, failing academically and eventually running away. Nandini, ever his anchor, pulled him back, sheltering him and listening to his heartbroken pleas. A chance encounter led Nandini to secure Manik a small TV role through her father's actor friend. Manik seized the opportunity, his raw talent shining through even in a brief appearance. His self-penned lyrics for an album became a massive hit, catapulting him into the spotlight as a sought-after musician. Nandini rejoiced in his success, secretly cherishing her long-held love for him, waiting for their 18th birthday to confess her feelings. But success brought a chasm between them. Manik's burgeoning fame, new friends, and demanding schedule consumed him, leaving Nandini feeling increasingly marginalized. On their 18th birthday, when Manik chose a lavish party over her, her heart shattered. Her attempts to reach out were met with silence, and a humiliating rejection at his office by his PA confirmed her worst fears: Manik, now rich and famous, saw her as a "low-class friend." His cruel words-"Don't meet him from now! He doesn't want a low-class friend"-broke her completely, igniting a fury that shocked even Manik. Nandini, vowing to never love him, stormed out, forever changed. Seven years later, the once bubbly, innocent Nandini is gone. In her plaforce in the Bollywood industry, known to the world as a renowned director whose identity remains a closely guarded secret. Can love, once shattered, ever be mended, or are they destined to remain two powerful figures on opposite sides of a painful past?

Watching this pain at home, Sakshi slowly lost all her dreams about marriage and love. To her, marriage was not something beautiful - it was something to fear.

Fear gripped her heart - what if her future husband turned out just like her father? What if her life became another cage of pain and sadness? Terrified and helpless, Sakshi stands at the edge of a new life she never asked for. What will happen to her now? Will her husband bring her happiness, or will history repeat itself?
