But Jwalapur, the place she's now forced to move to On International Day of Yoga, June 21, many after marriage, isn't worthy of her. She is still intrigued by this 'chhota Bollywood celebrities such as Kareena Kapoor, sheher' - small town - simply because her favourite author Dinesh Alia Bhatt and Malaika Arora, among many others, Pandit writes about bade qatal (big murders) in such chhote sheher.

Kanika Dhillon, writer, bases her entire thriller on this trope throwback pic is everything cute and successfully manages to weave a story that keeps you guessing. There are times when you are convinced Rani is at fault. And Kanika drives that point in harder with the introduction of Neel (Harshvardhan Rane), Rishu's cousin. While Harshvardhan's Neel remains unidimensional, there simply to show off his bare chest and equally bare morals, Rani's character arcs, showing us the loneliness of a sex-less marriage before finally submitting to Rishu's quiet love.
