•Characters

Age: 22

Profession: IT Executive at Malhotra Inc.

Visual vibe: Minimalist earrings, soft brown eyes, fresh kajal, a girl who wraps herself in shawls and silence.

Character Description:

Aanya carries herself like she’s tiptoeing through life—quiet, observant, and aching in all the places no one sees. Her mind works in codes and her heart in poetry. She believes this arranged marriage is the love story her parents always dreamed of for her.

But she doesn’t know—this story was written in a contract, not in the stars.

Age: 30

Profession: CEO, Malhotra Inc.

Visual vibe: Hazel brown eyes, clean cufflinks, tailored suits, watch ticking silently on his wrist like unfinished thoughts.

Character Description:

Sharp. Distant. Controlled. Abhimaan is a man who doesn’t waste words or emotions. He signs contracts like war declarations and hides his heartbreak in unread folders.

He agreed to this marriage for reasons she doesn’t know. And every time she looks at him with innocent hope, it wounds him deeper than she’ll ever realize.

“Wrapped in routines, she waits for a man she doesn’t really know will come.”

Sharma’S

Sushil Sharma

Meena Sharma

Mother | 48 | Homemaker

Warm, anxious, and emotionally dependent on her daughter’s future. She believes she gave Aanya a better life through this marriage.
