Arohi thrived in darkness-sharp, untethered, unwilling to surrender her heart. A PhD scholar who played by her own rules, love was nothing more than a fleeting indulgence. Tathagata carried his past like a ghost-brilliant, brooding, and bound to silence. A history professor with ink-stained fingers, a cigarette between them, and a sitar that sang only to the solitude. She never expected to see him again-the man she once adored, now a stranger wrapped in mystery. Their reunion is electric, a pull neither of them can deny. But he carries baggage, shadows of a life she never knew. And Arohi? She isn't the same girl who once adored him from afar. As passion collides with the ghosts of their past, they must ask themselves: Is this fate giving them a second chance, or are they simply chasing a memory that no longer exists? A story of love, loss, and the choices that define us-will they rewrite their ending, or are they doomed to repeat it? -------- Mature Content Warning: Intended for mature audiences.

Superstar Ranvijay Mehra, aka Ronny, is about to marry Kaya Kapoor-his longtime girlfriend, co-star, and the industry's golden girl. The only problem? They stopped loving each other a year ago. The media is obsessed, the fans ecstatic, and the wedding promises to be the grandest spectacle Bollywood has ever seen. Enter Radhika-quiet, sharp, and fiercely independent. A senior assistant at a wedding planner team, with no time for fame or falsehood, and the only rule of her family being: stay away from the film industry. She's here to do her job, nothing more. Except, she had been his crazy, stupid fan till her college. But one look at Ranvijay, unguarded and vulnerable, and everything shifts. He's not just the man on the billboards. He's intense, vulnerable, and hiding heartbreak behind that practiced smile. The forbidden attraction blooms by Sicily's Mediterranean breeze. Kaya knows. But she isn't just a celebrity bride, she's much more, holding pawns that would flip the chessboard. But when Mrinalini Mehra, Ranvijay's mother, enters the arena, the truth turns sharper. Bloodlines are questioned, past sins rise. As the wedding day approaches, hidden scandals resurface, powerful figures grow desperate to protect their masks, and an old injustice demands reckoning. Loyalties will fracture. Bonds will be tested. And the quietest of whispers might just be the loudest revelation. In a world where image is everything, some truths refuse to stay hidden. This is not just a story of a wedding. Not just a story of a superstar falling for his fangirl. It's a story of love tangled with revenge, where no one is the protagonist, yet everyone claims what they deserve.
