This shot starts from where Anushka slaps Rahul and leaves him behind in the park.
——————-
After getting slapped by his own blood Rahul is unable to understand what wrong he did except forcing himself on Anjali. But isn’t it his right to use Anjali to his heart’s content as she is his property?? “No I didn’t do anything wrong, Anjali is wrong all along… How can she think me forcing on her is a crime?? Mom said to me that the girls are born only to pleasure the guys’ right… Then how can a judge give me punishment for 3 long years without a parole?? How I suffered there without proper food, accommodation and a woman to warm my bed… This is entirely Anjali’s fault and now she turned my daughter against me, how can she?? I’ll definitely turn her life into hell again.”

Rahul’s train of thoughts were disturbed by a young lady standing in front of him asking if he wants to have an ice cream. “Who is she?? God!! She is so beautiful. Why didn’t I meet her before??” Again his thoughts are disturbed by the same lady.
Sir!! Do you want to have an ice cream? I think you need it. I’ve seen what happened before in the park.’ Said the lady.
No thanks. I’m fine without any ice cream. By the way when you saw the scene, why are you here asking me out for an ice cream? Aren’t you wise enough to evaluate me as a bad guy when a 6 year old girl slapped me?’
No sir!! Everyone has their side of the story. I know I can go wrong by asking you out for an ice cream, but I want to know your version of the story as well. So I asked you out. By the way I’m Rivannah Banerjee. You are??’

I’m Rahul Singhania. And I’m the father of that girl. I served my punishment in the jail for 3 years and got released a year before. So now you can leave me alone right.’ Said frustrated Rahul. This girl’s gonna be end of him. Why can’t she leave him alone?
Nice try. But I’m not going to leave you for that matter. You have to come out with me for an ice cream.’ Said Rivannah smiling.
If I come out for an ice cream, you will leave me alone right?’
Sure!!’
Alright then. Let’s go…’
Okay…’
After having the ice cream and asking Rahul a lot of questions like about his family and his career Rivannah left Rahul alone. Rahul thought this is a brief introduction to the girl who doesn’t have any importance in his life. But fate has its own plans.
Next time when Rahul saw Rivannah was after two weeks when she’s beating shit out of a man for teasing a girl in the mall. According to the people’s view over there some boys were trying to tease a girl in the mall, Rivannah was passing by the same place and saw this incident and started beating the guys, the last one she is beating now is the leader of the gang. After beating the guy to her heart’s content and warning him not to repeat the incident again, she tried to move out of the mall but instead stopped by seeing Rahul there and went to meet him.
Hi Rahul. How are you? What are you doing here?’
Hi Rivannah. I‘m perfectly fine. And yeah!! I’m here to play soccer. ’
Huh?? What?? How will you play soccer in shopping mall??’
Correct. When you know we can do only shopping here, why did you ask that question?’
Accha baba sorry. Now come on, I’m really tired with all the beating exercise, should eat something solid right now.’
No, you carry on Rivannah. Anyways I’m leaving, I came here to see what’s the fight is about.’
See Rahul, don’t be a party pooper. You are coming with me. Do you get that?’ said Rivannah frustrated with all the blabbering of Rahul when she is damn hungry.
Rahul is about to protest again but Rivannah dragged him with her to a restaurant and gave her order to the waiter. After that she started talking with Rahul. Rahul is answering all her questions and at the same time admiring her. She has such an aura around her, how come she trusted him at the first meet. He can’t keep this with him anymore, this same question is eating him for two weeks now and so he asked her.
Oh!! I don’t know why but I thought I should help you out from the problems that surrounded you. So started a conversation just like that.’ Said Rivannah eating her lunch.
Oh!!That’s it?? Is there anything else?’
No…’
Okay then… I’m leaving.’
Sure. You are not going to stay even if I insist. So it’s better for you to leave.’ Said Rivannah.
“What?? I’ll not stay if she insists?? I’ll die if she says me so… What?? What am I thinking?? What is this girl doing to me?? I need to stay away from her or else my revenge plans for Anjali will be ruined… So that’s it I’m leaving her” thought Rahul.
Ok… Bye…’
Bye…’
And Rahul left from there leaving Rivannah alone sorry not alone but with her lunch…
His next meeting with Rivannah is in the following week; she is running away from some goons. He didn’t know what he can do so kept quiet. But Rivannah being Rivannah started beating the goons after handing her hand bag to Rahul. But one goon was successful in stealing the hand bag of Rivannah from Rahul. Rivannah who is hell angry now started to pour curses on Rahul.
Yaar!! Why do you build such huge bodies when you can’t save a simple hand bag? Idiot you are… It’s my mistake that I gave you my precious hand bag. Do you know what’s there in that? It has the proof of a doctor who is into illicit organ trading and female infanticides… Ughhh!!! Why am I even talking to you? I’m leaving.’
Haa leave… I didn’t ask you to stay here and give your hand bag to me. You gave it to me and now cursing me. Do something useful like cooking and washing dishes yaar… You ladies can do only those things properly… No no!! You cannot do those chores properly even, that’s why you hire maids’ right?? Go learn these chores properly and leave these things to guys like us.’
What the hell!! How dare you insult me? When you think so high of yourself why the hell you stood here like a statue and let the goon get away with my bag?’ saying this Rivannah gave a tight punch to Rahul’s face and left the place.

“What does everyone think of my face yaar?? Does it look like punching bag?? First Anushka and now Rivannah.. Uff.. Rivannah….Rivvanah…..This girl is going to be end of me.” Thought Rahul and left the place. That day evening Rivannah landed up in front of Rahul’s house. She asked Kusum(Rahul’s mother) about Rahul. She didn’t answer Rivannah properly and started asking various questions. Rivannah got bored of all these questions pushed Kusum to a side and entered the house forcefully. She started searching for Rahul’s room and finally found him lying on his bed reading a magazine. She asked about his shirt which he wore in the morning. Rahul who didn’t understand anything started questioning her like his mother. But Rivannah who’s out of patience now shout at him and asked him about his shirt again. He gave her his shirt and saw Rivannah taking out SD card from his purse. When he asked about what it is, she said proof…
What??? Proof?? But you said the goons took the evidence with them and the evidence is in the hand bag.’
What do you think I am?? A fool?? Right… You think every lady is a fool, isn’t it?? That’s why you gave me a baashan about doing chores properly. But I’m not at all the girl you think you can win over. You wanted the truth right. So listen. Yes!!! The bag had the proof but in this SD card, when I was escaping from the hospital I changed the card in the bag to an empty card so that those loon heads doesn’t get any doubt on me. I know they are running for my hand bag, I gave it to you so that I can handle them. But you being a weakling let the goons get away with my hand bag… They were listening to our convo from the other side of the wall. So to make them believe that the footage is in the hand bag I started cursing you. But YOU… I can’t even curse you now; you have such low opinion about girls. If I start cursing you, then it will be an insult to the curses. I punched you for the same reason.’
How dare you call me a weakling???’ asked Rahul fuming.
Yeah!! Of course you are a weakling. Only a weakling can force himself on his wife and get arrested under marital r*pe. What did you think I will not know all this if you won’t tell me? I’ve my sources to get the info for me.’ Said Rivannah smirking.
When you think me of a weakling, why did you get along with me every time?’
Just to see if you’re changed or not. You will not change your mindset right. I should have known this before, when a woman like your mother had trained you, how can you change overnight.’
Rahul had had enough from Rivannah and tried to slap her but Rivannah caught his hand in the middle and warned him to keep his hands to himself or else he will not be able to do any work with those hands in his life time.
What should I do to prove I’m not a weakling?? You hurt my ego now and I’ve to prove it to you that I’M NOT A WEAKLING.’
Fine!! Work for me. As my bodyguard. You have to punch all those guys who try to come after me that include even you.’
How can I punch myself?’ asked Rahul innocently.
I didn’t say that. (Smirking)That shubh kaam will be done by me. As you have raised your hand to slap me now; you will get your share of punch right now.’ Said Rivannah and punched him hard in his ribs.
Rahul who didn’t expect sudden blow fell back with all the force and injured his back.
So now you should have understood how it’s going to be to work with me, right? Think twice and answer me “Do you really wanna take up this job of my bodyguard”.’ Rivannah
Rahul whose ego and body was hurt by this little lady stood up and accepted the challenge.
Alright then!! You are going to work for me for a year. If I find you unfit for the job at any instance I’ll remove one of your body parts and parcel you back to your home. Now pack your bags and get going; you’ll not stay here.’ Said Rivannah exiting his room.
Mrs. Singhania who heard all this was shocked to see Rivannah’s behaviour towards her son. She knows better that she should keep quiet or else Rivannah will punch her too.
Don’t worry Mrs.Singhania. I’ll not punch you; I don’t want my hands to touch a creature like you.’ Rivannah said with a disgusting look on her face.

Rahul heard this all while packing his bags but cannot do anything right now. He thought, “Rivannah Banerjee, your time starts now, you will see what Rahul Singhania is later on.” Poor guy doesn’t know that his life is going to change upside down within this year.
Rivannah and Rahul left Rahul’s place. Rivannah gave him servant quarters in her house and made him to do all the chores of the house like cooking, cleaning utensils, washing clothes etc. So now Rahul knows what it takes to do the chores of a house. This is the reason Rivannah made him do all the chores. If he tried to disobey her, Rahul used to get a punch on some part of his body as a gift; so he stopped to disobey her and started doing all the jobs without a question.
After 1 year, it’s time for Rahul to leave Rivannah’s place and shift to his parents’ house. But he didn’t want to return to his parents’ house. He is not the same Rahul who Rivannah brought to this house a year before. He’s changed now naah she changed him by her witty replies and taunts that pierced his heart. How her foundation “Starke[German word for ‘Strength’]” is helping all the needy people around the country. He knew she’s trying to hide something from him. Every time she’s home, she locks herself in her room and when she came out of the room her eyes were fluffy and bloodshot red. He tried to ask her many times but she taunted him again and again to mind his business. As this is his final day in this house, he tried to ask for the last time.
So, why do you want to know about my past?’
Because I want to know.’
That’s it?’
Yes.’
No there is more to it. What is it? Are you trying to bring me down with my past? You will never be able to do that. Understand?’ said Rivannah red with anger.
Rahul caught hold of her shoulders and shouted on her…
I want to know about your past because I LOVE YOU dammit.’
Oh right!! Now you want my property too like you wanted Anjali’s once. As I’m letting you go today you are trying this trick on me. But I’m NOT Anjali to fall into your trap and knee down before you. GET THAT.’
How can I prove you I love you yaar. I do love you. I really do.’ Said Rahul slumping down.
You can prove that. If you can do that I’ll believe you.’
What is it?’
Beg absolution from Anushka and Anjali’s family.’

What?’
Yes. That is the work you can do to prove you love me. If you do this job sincerely and gain forgiveness from all of them I’ll definitely share my past with you.’
Sure!! For you, a thousand times over.’ * said Rahul smiling and tears brimming in his eyes.
Good. Anjali and Zaroon came down from London for a holiday. Finish your work in front of me and we will end your game of love with my past.’
This is not game Rivannah.’
I’ll decide that. Now come on keep your a*s moving.’
Yeah!! Sure.’
Rahul with a fear in his heart entered Vincent’s mansion along with Rivannah. All were shocked to see Rahul there and didn’t understand how he trespassed into their mansion. But the next words of Rahul to Anjali and Anushka surprised all.
Anjali!! I know I did wrong things to you in the past and tortured in all the ways possible. Now I know how it feels like when your love doesn’t acknowledge your feelings and see you like a piece of shit. I’m really sorry for all the things I did to you in the past. Please forgive me. (To Anushka) Beta I know I’m a bad father but can you give me a chance to become good again?’
All were in a trance about what is happening and Zaroon broke the silence.
How can we believe you and also you are not here to take revenge from Anjali and Vincent’s? Only because of them you were imprisoned for 3 long years.’
I know I don’t have any substantial evidence to prove my truth. But believe me I’m not here to take revenge from anyone. I’m here to prove my love that I’ve become a man who is worthy to love someone and be loved back.’
Who is your love Rahul?’ asked Anjali.
Me.’ Came Rivannah’s voice from behind.
All turned to the direction of the voice only to get another shock of their life.
Mini.’ Exclaimed Radhika and Arjun.
Hi Rads. Hii Arjun Bhai.’ Said Rivannah smiling.
What is all this?’ asked Rads.
I’ll explain it later after Rahul’s apology and you people’s answer to him.’
Sure.’
Anjali excused herself and left with Zaroon to her room and came to give her answer.
Rahul!! You know it was really hard for me to forgive you because of the pain you gave to my heart. The scars of the pain were left behind even today but I forgive you. (seeing Rahul coming forward Anjali stopped him by gesturing with her hand) I’m not the one who wants to forgive you, it is Zaroon who wants me to forgive you because he thinks true redemption is when guilt turns to good.* I can see in your eyes that you love Mini so much. And I can read people better now. So I think you need this forgiveness to move forward in your life.’
Thank you Anjali. Thank you so much for all of this. (To Zaroon) Zaroon I’m really thankful to you for making Anjali to accept this.’ Said Rahul.
Rahul!! It’s just we cannot gain anything by developing grudge on others. It’s like carrying a load on your shoulders for your entire life. But remember one thing “People may forgive but will never forget what you have done to them.” * You need to work real hard to mend all those relations you broke earlier.’ Said Zaroon.
I’ll try my level best Zaroon.’ Said Rahul smiling.
Now all the confessions are over, so we’ve a very important person over here who have to explain what this is all about.’ Said Radhika pointing towards Rivannah.
Yeah!! Right!! I’ve my part of confession remaining.’ Said Rivannah fidgeting with her fingers.
Yeah!! Can you explain this entire thing Mini.’ Asked Arjun.
Sure Bhai!!’ said Rivannah.
Rahul was amazed to see all these revelations, all calling her ‘Mini’[which he don’t know why they are calling her] and Rivannah calling Arjun as ‘Bhai’ and the closeness of Rivannah with all the Vincent’s, Anjali and Zaroon. He is waiting for her part of revelation now.
Rivannah took a long breath and started her side of the story.
Rads!! I was there in the park when Anushka slapped Rahul. I understood from Rahul’s expression that he is not going to leave Anjali this time. He will take his revenge more than before, so to divert his mind from revenge to some constructive thoughts I entered into his life. Fate created situations so that we can meet very often. And one day he crossed all the limits by insulting me. (Listening to this Arjun fisted his hands) Bhai!! No need to pounce on him now, he got his share of beatings from me (winks), after all I’m the shishya of Radhika Mishra Vincent right. So after that I made him my 24×7 maid in my house and bodyguard too. According to this he needs to follow me everywhere I go. He got his lessons that were overdue all these years in the previous year. I saw the change in him in this year, only then I asked him to ask forgiveness from Anjali and all of you. Of course now he claims that he loves me which I’m going to rule out entirely.’ Said Rivannah to all the people over there.
Rahul’s face lost all its color by listening to the last sentence Rivannah spoke.
But Mini he loves you, we all can see that.’ Said Radhika.
But I can’t love him Rads, you know that too. I can love only HIM. I can’t love anybody.’
But he’s no more Mini. Why can’t you understand that?’ said Arjun.
Bhai!! He’s not dead. He’s alive in my heart.’
Mini!! Please don’t ruin your life. You too know that he’ll not be happy seeing you like this. Please accept Rahul.’ Said Neil.
Bhai!! It’s easy for you to say that. But I can’t let him go out of my heart.’
We’re not saying to let him go out of your heart yaar. But to make a place for Rahul over there.’ Said Sam.
Sam is right yaar Mini.’ Said Anjali.
You guys are unable to understand my position right now. I’ll talk with all of you some other time. See you guys later.’
Yeah!! Hopefully we’ll get good news then.’ Said Zaroon with a teasing smile on his face.
Rahul took his leave from all and followed Rivannah to the car. Their journey back to Rivannah’s apartment was silent. After reaching the apartment Rahul dropped Rivannah to her flat and started to leave by taking his bags.
You don’t want to know about my past now?’
I want to know. But I think you are not in a mood to share your past.’
No!! I need to spit it out today.’
Ok then. Go on….’
I’m basically from Kolkata. I ran from there to escape a situation.’ Started Rivannah.
******** FLASHBACK********
Rivannah is born in a poor family. Her father has to work like a mule to get the daily wages. He is blessed with two angels; Saranya and Rivannah. Saranya who is only 13 years old is married to a rich man of 25 years who belong to the same village. The man promised Biswajeet(Rivannah’s father) a lump sum of money in exchange to his daughter, so Biswajeet put the hands of Saranya in this man’s hands. As promised the man used to give some amounts of money to Biswajeet. After 3 months of marriage Biswajeet got to know that Saranya is pregnant. Biswajeet is so happy and shared this news to his wife Rupa. All were celebrating for the good news. But Rivannah is in fear thinking what will happen to her sister after the pregnancy. She is only 11 years then and she learnt from her teacher that the girls who become pregnant in a young age will face complications and in the worst case scenario they will die. So she tried to explain to her parents and her jiju, but the people ignored her pleas and finally the same thing happened which Rivannah feared the most; Saranya took her last breath while delivering the baby. The baby is still born because of the complications in Saranya’s pregnancy. The man who married Saranya doesn’t stop his atrocities there. Now he wants to marry Rivannah and put forward the proposal to Biswajeet. Biswajeet who was accustomed to take money from his son-in-law immediately accepted the proposal and informed the same to Rupa. While he was discussing this with Rupa, Rivannah heard all this. She knows her father will go to any lengths to get her married to that beast. So she decided to end her life by committing suicide, but at the last moment she came out of that idea, took her pocket money, ran from her house at night and reached the railway station. She got into the first train which she got to see and bid bye to Kolkata, her birth place. She reached Mumbai the next day. A woman came to her and started talking sweetly and when she was about to take Rivannah with her, police came there and arrested the woman. She is from a human trafficking gang. The woman from an NGO who came with police took care of Rivannah and introduced herself as Priya Kapoor. She said she runs an NGO where girls who are victims of human trafficking, rape, and elderly people who were ousted from their families are taken care of. Priya Kapoor took her to the NGO but her son Siddharth wants Rivannah to live in their house because he got to see his little sister in her. So Priya adopted Rivannah and brought her to their home. From then Rivannah became the member of Priya’s small family that has only Priya and Siddharth. Priya’s husband died a few years before due to kidney failure.

After her graduation Rivannah joined a prestigious company. One day Siddharth’s business partner cum friend Sahil Saxena visited their house. [Siddharth’s business has a branch in Australia and it is managed by Sahil]. Sahil took instant liking to Rivannah and after learning her past from Siddharth, his respect towards her raised to a notch higher and so wanted to marry her. Rivannah didn’t accept for the relation because of the distance that’s gonna take its place after marriage. So Sahil put forward a proposal, he will move to and fro and manage the business. And Rivannah agreed to the marriage. One day Rivannah announced her decision of quitting the job. Siddharth, Sahil and Priya didn’t understand anything. They tried their level best to make her understand that it is not a wise decision but Rivannah stood firm on her decision. The back drop story for this decision is Sahil’s mom doesn’t want Rivannah to work after marriage and so she ordered her to quit the job before marriage. Rivannah who started loving Sahil accepted her future MIL’s order and quit the job.
Marriage was done. Sahil and Rivannah were happy in their marital life. Sahil gave her time to adjust to the new surroundings and also to take their relationship to next level. When Sahil left for his office, Sahil’s mom and younger sister used to taunt Rivannah for not bringing dowry when her mother and brother are millionaires, also used abusive language and sometimes physical violence. Rivannah didn’t inform any one of these to Sahil as these issues can create a rift in relationship with his mother and sister. Truth doesn’t stay silent for a long time; it finds a way to get exposed to right people at right time. The next day when Sahil reached his house a bit earlier he listened to the abusive words slashed to his wife by his mother and sister. So he got a separate flat for Rivannah and him in another apartment. [The one which Rivannah is living now] After putting some distance between Rivannah and his family, Sahil was happy now. He used to visit his family every now and then and tried to change their mind, but they being stubborn didn’t get his words and so remained the same.
Sahil went to a business trip and was returning. Rivannah wanted to give surprise to him by accepting to take their relation to next level but she got the shock of her life that day. Sahil met with an accident on his way home. Rivannah immediately reached the hospital only to see Sahil in his final moments.
Mini!! Please don’t lose hope on life. And when you find true love, don’t lose him. Please promise that Mini and I love yo……’ Said Sahil as his final words.
Rivannah is unable to comprehend what has happened and went into shock. Sahil’s family taunted Rivannah for being a bad luck to their son. First she ran away from her parents and now she has eaten their son alive.
********FLASHBACK********
It was then Sid Bhai and Priya mom introduced me to Zaroon Bhai who is a famous psychiatrist in London. Rads is our family friend, she is the co-partner of ‘Starke’ but she keeps her profile low to avoid unnecessary attention of media. Priya mom breathed her last only a few years before and she divided her properties and business equally between me and Sid bhai. I don’t know how I became so lucky to have these angels in my life. Sid bhai left to Australia to look after the business over there. I wanted to stay here and take care of NGO which Priya mom considered as her second home. In the meanwhile I became so close to Vincent’s and they are my family now. When I saw you again in the park with Anjali and Anushka I didn’t know how but I analyzed that you are planning to take revenge on them, so I jumped into your life and the rest you know.’ Said Rivannah finishing her past.
But your love for Sahil is not any hindrance for my love Rivannah. I totally understand why you entered my life but this is also a truth that I love you.’
Please don’t take your habit of living with me as love Rahul. Alright let’s keep this aside, even if you love me, I can’t love you back. I can love only Sahil.’
Alright then I’ll wait for you to change your mind and acknowledge my love. Till then please don’t try to enter my life again Rivannah. And one more thing I don’t want to take Sahil’s place in your heart, I just want to make my place in your heart. Bye.’
Rivannah broke into tears after Rahul left her place. She doesn’t know why she is crying for Rahul. But her heart knows only to love a person, her heart already gave away some place to Rahul and only her mind should acknowledge this fact. Next weeks were torture to Rivannah without Rahul in her flat. She tried many ways to ignore his presence but was unable to do that. Finally she gave up and called Siddharth to get her doubts cleared. Siddharth is living in Australia with his wife Aisha.
Hello Bhai.’
Hi choti.’
I need to clear my mind from some thoughts. Can you help me out?’
Sure jaan… What is it?’
She explained all the incidents with Rahul and how her thoughts were drifting back to Rahul every time. Siddharth smiled listening to all this.
So my choti jaan is finally in love!!!’
No bhai. It’s not that you were thinking, I can’t get him out of my mind.’
Choti jaan your heart is already in love with him, only your mind is denying that. This conflict between your heart and mind is the cause of all the problems. Calm your mind and give it a thought why you want Rahul in your life. I’m sure you’ll definitely get the answers.’
Ok bhai… Bye. Will talk to you later.’
“Why it is everyone are giving me the same advice… First Rads, next Arjun bhai, Neil bhai, Sam, Zaroon bhai and even Anjali did give the same advice. Do I really love him? But how can that be possible? We can love only once right. I need to clear my mind by talking this out with Rahul now. Only he can pull me back from this puddle. Ahh!! Rahul!!!! Why did I enter your life man?” thought Rivannah.
She called Rahul and fixed up her meeting with him. They were meeting in her place. Rahul reached her place as soon as he got her call and asked for the reason she called him. She explained about the advice everyone gave her and which obviously draws out the same conclusion that is she loves him. Rahul is overjoyed to hear all these words from Rivannah but he wants to know why she is trying to back out from this love and so asked her.

I don’t know Rahul it’s just I’m unable to get myself together for this love and marriage concept. Although I’m out of depression, my previous experience with love and marriage is not letting me to get what I want.’ Said Rivannah tears brimming in her eyes.
Rahul now understood her fear of losing a person whom we love, being taunted by almost everyone when there is no fault of hers.
Rivannah!! I know what you are going through right now and I promise I’ll try my level best to get you out of this shell. Please trust me once on this.’
Rahul I trust you. It’s me I don’t trust. What if someday you get bored of me and leave me?’
Aisa kuch nahin hoga. And I love you more than myself to leave you half way. So please smile and accept what’s in your heart Mini.’
It’s the first time Rahul called her ‘Mini’; only her closed ones call her that.
I like you Rahul.’
I know and I’ll turn that ‘like’ to ‘love’ in a couple of days.’ Said Rahul grinning.
As promised Rahul changed the feelings of Rivannah from ‘like’ to ‘love’. Rahul cracked a hard nut by changing the mindsets of his parents about the girls and their importance. After blissful three months of courtship Rahul and Rivannah got married and a year after blessed with a baby boy. That day Rahul promised Rivannah that he will inculcate all good qualities in his son and make him a better person. He will also discuss his mistakes with his son and try his level best that his son will not repeat the same mistakes.
And THAT’S HOW THEY HAPPENED.

Author’s Notes/References:
*”Mere qatil mere dildar” is the name of a Pakistani drama. It’s a tale of love and revenge. I imprinted some of the qualities of Maham(female protagonist)of this drama on Rivannah’s character. —Qatil means murderer/enemy. In this shot the worst enemies and murderers of Rivannah’s soul were her parents. Dildar means sweetheart which is obviously Sahil but finally turned out to be Rahul.
*Rivannah Banerjee is a fictional character in Stranger trilogy written by Novoneel Chakraborthy. —This trilogy is psychological thriller.
*”For you, a thousand times over” and “True redemption is when guilt turns to good” are famous quotes from the novel “The Kite Runner” written by Khaled Hosseini. It is a tale of friendship, betrayal, love and redemption. —It’s the most emotional book I’ve read till date. Give it a try if you want to know the atrocities done by people to destroy their own country and many more emotions.
*The words about forgiveness told by Zaroon to Rahul are an excerpt from the book “You can win” written by Shiv Khera. It also has a glimpse of words written by Robin Sharma. —These two authors are my most favourite personality development speakers.
*Child marriage is a formal marriage or informal union entered into by an individual before reaching the age of 18[woman of age below 18 years and the man is below age 21]. Most child marriages involve underage women, many of whom are from poor socio-economic conditions. —-The plot around child marriage and the complications involved due to pregnancy at a young age in this shot is an inspiration from true story of Memory Banda who is a tireless leader of girls’ rights around the world. I’m linking below her speech about child marriage and how her one step towards ban of child marriage and educating the girls brought a change in her country.

*Suicide is illegal in India and a survivor can face a jail term up to one year and a fine under section 309 of the Indian Penal Code. The National Crime Records Bureau’s statistics on suicides is grim, with 49,259 deaths under the age of 29 reported in 2013 and 55,833 deaths (under 30) in 2014. The largest number of suicides among adolescents aged 18 and below was due to unspecified causes, unknown reasons, illness (including mental health), family problems and failure in exams. Other causes included issues related to career, love affairs and marriage. {Source credit: Reader’s digest July 2016 edition}— In this shot I wanted to show Rivannah to be vulnerable but not weak at heart so in the last moment she stopped herself from committing suicide.
*Human trafficking is another significant problem in India. —I’ve given only a glimpse of this issue in this shot because more is to come in the upcoming shots.
*Domestic violence is the violent or aggressive behaviour within the home, typically involving the violent abuse of spouse or partner. —I didn’t want another Anjali in Rivannah, so Rivannah is abused by her in-laws’ and not by her spouse.
*Elderly people were ousted by their own children from their families. Out of 10 families 6 are committing this sin/mistake, whatever you name it. —This issue also has only a glimpse but I cannot promise this issue will be included in any of the succeeding shots.

I don’t know the reason of posting this shot late is me being lazy or the cases I’ve studied addled my thoughts. I was physically and mentally exhausted all this week, so please forgive me for this late update.
And if you want to give any suggestions for some cute love stories, please free to inform me so that I can run my horses as wild as possible and give you those shots. In my defence I’m very poor at these kinds of plots, so you guys will have to suggest some outlines too.
