She entered Bollywood by accident.
She left it by choice.
When a renowned director goes searching for a face untouched by fame, he finds Ananya Iyer-a classical dancer, a lover of old Hindi cinema, English love stories, and dreams far bigger than the silver screen.
Cast opposite Aarav Khanna, the son of a legendary Bollywood actor, Ananya is suddenly thrust into a world of flashing cameras, whispered assumptions, and a spotlight she never asked for. Aarav, raised in the glare of stardom, believes affection is always an act-and that girls only come with expectations.
Between a viral airport moment, a trailer launch at her school, and a film that becomes a massive success, two worlds collide-but never truly meet.
Ananya walks away from fame to chase science, heritage, and a life rooted in purpose. Years later, she returns-not as an actress, but as a woman who built herself from scratch.
And when fate brings them together again under the soft glow of Janmashtami lamps, Aarav finally sees what he once missed.
Some love stories aren't born in romance.
They are written in time, regret, and second chances.
