Vidyut Malhotra

28

CEO OF MALHOTRA INC.

"I don't like when someone orders me, but that 5'2" girl is exceptional.”

Vidyut Malhotra is a 28-year-old man defined by his work, discipline, and an almost impenetrable coldness. A grumpy introvert, he speaks only when necessary, his words sharp and calculated. He's a man with the darkest brown eyes that can silence a room, full of unreadable depth. He keeps his walls high and carries an aura that makes people nervous to even breathe near him. He hides his softness under layers of anger, sarcasm, and seriousness, but it’s there. His love for his family, though rarely expressed, runs deep in his veins.

Mahi Singhania

21

COLLEGE STUDENT

"My height is 5'2", but my attitude is 6'1."

A 21 years old, Mahi is a whirlwind of contradictions. To the world, she is an ambivert wearing a carefree attitude like armor. People assume she is just dramatic and stubborn, but in reality, she's a love-deprived soul who has never felt the warmth of a true family. Her hazel-brown eyes carry a silent hope—of being seen, held, and loved in the way she never was. The only two people she trusts blindly are her elder brother, Ishaan, and her best friend, Kiara.

VIDYUT × MAHI

"They were fire and ice, opposites in every way, yet unknowingly, they became each other’s refuge.”

Vidyut, who was taught that love is a weakness, hides his emotions behind cold looks. But when Mahi walks into his life like a hurricane, she unsettles everything. She challenges his rules. Most importantly, she sees the man behind the mask, the one who’s never been understood. And he becomes the love she had longed for, the one even her own parents failed to give. Yet here he was, the man who held her as if she were the most fragile thing in the world, cherishing her like she was his to protect, his to love.

SIDE CHARACTERS

Rehaan Malhotra

25

COO OF MALHOTRA INC.

A 25-year-old and the embodiment of sunshine, Rehaan is extroverted and effortlessly charming. He carries an infectious energy that lights up any room, his playful nature making it impossible for anyone to stay serious around him for too long. He loves his family deeply and expresses that love through banter and teasing. He would leave anything and everything for them

Kiara Mehra

21

COLLEGE STUDENT

A 21-year-old, Kiara is the definition of bold and unapologetic. More than just extroverted, she’s an unstoppable force who speaks her mind without hesitation. Even in a serious meeting, she never holds back—saying exactly what she thinks without a second thought.

If there’s one thing that matters to Kiara more than anything, it’s Mahi, and she would go to any lengths to protect, defend, and fight for her.

REHAAN × KIARA

"She’s the wildfire he never tries to put out, and he’s the gravity that keeps pulling her back.”

Chaos? Even more than chaos!

He’s the smooth-talker, but she’s the only one who turns his confidence into stunned silence. She doesn’t believe in filters, and he doesn’t know how to handle someone who flirts as boldly as she does. She’s the kind of chaos he never wants to live without. She’s the storm that has shaken his world, and no matter how much he pretends otherwise, he doesn’t want to escape it.

TROPES

• She fell first, he fell harder

• Extrovert × Extrovert

• Sunshine × Sunshine

• Boss × Colleague

Ishaan Singhania

28

CEO OF SINGHANIA INC.

Ishaan Singhania, the eldest son of the family, has always carried the weight of responsibility. He stepped into adult roles at a very young age. Raised to be perfect, he sacrificed his childhood to meet the expectations placed on him, constantly putting others' needs before his own. He is the protector and the one everyone relies on. In the process, he has lost sight of his own dreams and desires.

His greatest fear is not giving his sister what she needs. He struggles with the feeling of being incomplete, disconnected from his true self. Carrying the world on his shoulders, he has forgotten what it feels like to stand tall for himself.

Ruhanika Malhotra

23

FASHION DESIGNER

A 23-year-old fashion designer, Ruhanika is deeply introverted and speaks only to her two brothers. Even within her family, she remains distant, shaped by severe trust issues. Her past left her bruised in ways words can't explain, and she’s never truly moved past it. Though talented and creative, she’s filled with self-doubt, always wondering if she’s enough, always questioning her worth.

Fashion is the only place she feels seen; it’s where she pours the parts of herself she can’t express aloud. She’s a girl with a quiet heart and a life full of scars, just trying to heal in a world that never gave her the chance to breathe.

ISHAAN × RUHANIKA

"Two broken souls, stitched together not by words, but by the silence they both understood.”

They’re both silent sufferers, never asking for help, never expecting comfort until they find it in each other. Ishaan sees Ruhanika’s silence, and for the first time, someone sees his too. He doesn’t try to fix her. He just stays: quiet, present, gentle.

And she becomes the rare place where he can breathe, where he doesn’t have to be perfect, only real.

Where Ishaan carries the weight of the world, Ruhanika teaches him it's okay to rest.

Where Ruhanika fears touch, Ishaan teaches her how love can feel safe. They complete each other. In a world that has been unkind to both, they become each other’s peace.
