💔 Their Love Stories

> All three brothers are seen as "ideal matches" — rich, successful, brilliant. But no one knows the price they've paid to wear that crown.

🌪️ 1. Narayana & Neha – The Contracted Flame

Narayana is forced into a contract marriage with Neha, the daughter of a political giant, to save his company’s reputation from a false scandal.

He treats the contract coldly. But Neha, who once loved someone else and got betrayed, slowly sees his pain beneath the silence.

Narayana hides his childhood trauma and fear of emotional closeness. He believes love is a liability.

> “You’re not just a name on a paper, Neha. You’re the first thing I think of when I’m not trying to win.”

Twist: Neha plans to walk away when the contract ends. Narayana proposes before she can. But will she believe it's real?

🧠 2. Dhanush & Priyanka – The Arranged Silence

Dhanush marries Priyanka, a family-approved match. She’s intelligent, practical, and ambitious.

But he’s emotionally guarded, almost robotic. She craves connection; he gives her stability but not vulnerability.

Unknown to her, Dhanush has spent years in guilt over losing his first love to suicide during college due to a hacking scandal.

> “I protect the world from breaches, Priyanka. But I’ve never fixed the one inside me.”

Twist: Priyanka finds a secret diary with messages to a woman named “S.” Will she uncover the past or destroy their fragile present?

🧳 3. Veeresh & Poornima – The Rival Obsession

Veeresh is in London, finishing his law degree. He meets Poornima, a scholarship student from India.

She’s fiercely competitive, brilliant, and immune to his charm — something he’s never faced.

Veeresh’s playful interest turns into dark desire. He stalks her social media, studies her routines, and dreams of breaking her walls.

One kiss in a thunderstorm leads to weeks of silence. She accuses him of toying with her.

> “You weren’t a game, Poornima. You were the only thing real in a world I pretend to belong to.”

Twist: Poornima files a harassment complaint against him. His family flies to London. Will she see the broken man behind the obsession — or bury him forever?

🕯️ Family Layer: The Shastri Legacy

Their father, Rudrapratap Shastri, is a retired judge who believes emotions are weaknesses.

The brothers are bound by love but shaped by expectation, guilt, and rivalry.

Each of them must learn that being an “ideal match” means more than wealth or reputation — it means choosing vulnerability over power.
