The Thakurain

Nandini is a 16-year-old, innocent and naive girl. She’s an extrovert and bubbly, always the life in her small village. Viraj Thakur, the village’s wealthiest and most powerful man, is dominant and feared. Tragedy strikes when Nandini’s father, to repay his debt, sells her to Viraj. Now, witness how Nandini transforms from a helpless slave to the esteemed Thakurain of the village.

Fated Bonds.

She is his cousin. Beautiful, confident, and wise beyond her years. He is younger — by a few years — shy, and has always seen her as a sister. She’s in love with someone else, someone she believes is her destiny. He respects her heart and keeps his feelings locked away, never daring to cross that invisible line. But fate has other plans. An unexpected marriage binds them together, forcing them into a new reality. As days pass, the lines between family and love blur. What starts as kinship slowly blooms into something deeper, something forbidden yet undeniable. Can they redefine what love means for them — or will their secrets tear them apart?

The pretend game

They work in the same office. He likes her. She likes someone else. They get into a fake relationship to make the guy she likes jealous. It is fake—or at least supposed to be. But for how long? Will she be able to resist the chemistry they have? Will he ever be able to confess his true feelings?
