In the bustling bylanes of suburban Mumbai, two families share a wall โ and a generations-old grudge. The Bajajs, sharp-witted Marwaris with a nose for business, have built their empire on logic, legacy, and control. At the helm is Vaibhav Bajaj โ striking, disciplined, and fiercely loyal to family honor. He runs his grandfatherโs trading company like a warship โ steady, cold, and unsinkable. Next door live the Roys, warm-hearted Bengalis who serve sweetness for a living and wear their emotions on their sleeves. Dr. Mihiksha Roy, a successful neurologist, is the familyโs pride โ graceful, intuitive, and unapologetically rooted in faith, music, and tradition. Theyโve known each other their whole lives โ as rivals, not friends. From childhood taunts to adult clashes, Vaibhav and Mihiksha have never seen eye-to-eye. Until one fateful Durga Puja changes everything. When both families are forced to co-organize the neighborhoodโs grandest celebration, tensions ignite โ but so does an undeniable chemistry. Banter turns to sparks, sparks to silence, and silence to something dangerously close to longing. But no one could have predicted what would happen on the final day of the Puja โ when, in a chaotic moment of color, ritual, and emotion, **Vaibhav accidentally smears sindoor on Mihiksha's forehead.. in front of the entire community. In one unthinking second, he does what neither ever imagined โ binds himself to the one woman he was raised to avoid. Now, with gossip swirling, families outraged, and hearts in turmoil, Vaibhav and Mihiksha must decide: was it truly an accident... or destiny in disguise?
