• Introductions •
Avira Jaiswal
Age: 21
Height: 5'4"
Aesthetic: ink-smudged journals, Pinterest mood boards, silver anklets, oversized sweaters, chai at dusk, confidence veiled in softness.
She's the kind of girl who doesn't demand attention. She builds presence through silence and fire. Avira's a self-taught designer from Banaras who dreams of breaking generational cycles through creativity. Fiercely intuitive, quietly romantic, she's not afraid of love - she's afraid of never choosing it for herself.
Aarav Singh Rathore (called "Veer" in love)
Age: 27
Height: 6'1"
Aesthetic: London dusk, tailored suits, black watches, chai in ceramic cups, green eyes that see too much and say too little, emotional restraint laced with deep longing.
He's the kind of man who makes silence feel loud. Built by solitude and softened only by poetry he'll never admit reading. Aarav works in international finance in London, but numbers have never been his problem - detachment has. He doesn't chase love, but he might fall into it, slowly and irrevocably. With her.

When two worlds - one made of cloth and color, the other of walls and silence - collide under the string of fate, sparks don't just fly. They ignite destinies.
