The Art of Almost Love

Meet the characters

Kavya Sharam, 23

If the word "chaos" were a person, it surely would've been a 23 years old girl with her undying love for Literature and her butter chicken. Well, butter chicken was her destruction king-her male cat, a creature Kavya gossiped with. Gossips, like her "always-achivieing-something" family. Every Diwali, when she visits her family, Kavya got too many informations about how her 10 years old cousin passed grade 5th with 87%. If getting compared to kids a decade younger was a competition, Kavya would have won with first prize for the first in her life.

Vivaan Malhotra, 27

If perfection had a face, it would look a lot like him, not because he preferred that, but to match his family's expections. Raised in a household where even a small flaw was exaggerated, Vivaan learned to not ask for something-only give. Perfect grades. Perfect decisions. Perfect behavior. He gave it all. Vivaan was the "good son" everyone praised, but didn't care enough to question if he could carry the burden of being so perfect. And yet, somehow, he never turned into the cold, unfeeling man everyone expected him to become. Vivaan grew into someone calm, quietly observant, and unexpectedly human-someone who could laugh at the right moments, listen when it mattered, and carry responsibility without letting it harden him. At 27, he had everything a man would desire. Multiple companies, reputation, becoming a billionaire, except a world which didn't ask to not make mistakes.
