Married against her will, she becomes a widow within hours of her wedding. And now, the village has decided her fate. They call her unlucky. They call her cursed. And they are taking her toward Sati. Aakarsh doesn't understand their customs. But he understands injustice. And the moment he sees Tara being forced toward a fate she never chose, the politician known for his fearless temper steps forward. He fights. He refuses. And when there is no other way to save her... 𝐀𝐚𝐤𝐚𝐫𝐬𝐡 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐫. 𝐀 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. 𝐀 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞. But what happens when the powerful Haryanvi politician finds himself falling for the quiet Bengali girl he was only supposed to save? Because sometimes... the marriage you enter to save someone becomes the love you spend your entire life protecting. "Main jaanti hoon, ye ishq galat hai... phir bhi dil tere hawale hai." [I know this love is wrong... yet my heart is still yours.] "Pata nahi kab ye farz dil ki zid ban gaya." [I don't know when this duty became my heart's stubborn desire.] Aakarsh × Taranshika
