Sometimes a love is so potent that it affects everything around them and sometimes a love story requires a necessary diversion to reassess itself. This is not entirely the story about the multimillionaire fashion mogul Arnav Singh Raizada and the fiercely independent breadwinner Khushi Kumari Gupta. It's about their influences on a love story of their siblings. Of the meek, sensitive and capable Akash Raizada who has had every concern taken care of. Of the silent yet perceptive Payal Gupta who knew not to interfere. It's a world where Arnav and Khushi learn that love might be beyond their understanding. Where Payal is more than Akash's love interest. Where Khushi is more than what Arnav imagined. (The characters belong to 4Lions Production and their television show, Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon)

When two people fall in love and end up together, it's a happily ever after, it's a fairy tale, but what happens when one person falls in love but the other doesn't? How do you deal with the pain and sorrow of one sided love? Most of all, how do you move of from something that was never yours?

Presenting Arnav and Khushi in a story that transcends all societal norms of love 💖 Can you meet someone for the first time and feel that you've known them forever? Does it take a long time to fall in love always? Can sometimes just a few moments be enough? A story that answers these questions and a few more - essentially an Ipkknd story. An ode to the couple that made me believe in love ! #1 in arhi 🙈

After three complacent years of a contract marriage that suits both their needs emotionally but never physically, Arnav has had enough of desiring something more with his beautiful wife so decides to give her a choice; add sex to their relationship or allow him to find his release elsewhere. Will Khushi give herself over to her husband or watch as somebody else does?

Arranged marriage was an age-old story that Khushi, the youngest of the infamous Gupta family, who revolutionized and dominated the trading market for generations, knew well. For it was the only thing she heard growing up. But that neither prepared her nor comforted her as she got ready that morning. It was an important day, a day where she would trade her surname for a new one, her silence for a new chance, her respect for a new hope, her life for another. It was a day of contracts, both new and old. As she hid behind the traditional red shawl, knowing that the whole world would be watching her, waiting to pounce, she wondered why her mother never told her about any of the good marriages. The ones that worked out. The ones that had hope. The ones that had love. Probably because they don't exist, Khushi thought to herself. Only, destiny had believed otherwise. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a stand alone story that has no connection with the original show, Iss Pyar Ko Kya Naam Doon, except for the names of the lead characters.
