Description

This arranged marriage is an accident waiting to happen...or maybe the recipe for a perfect love story. Payal is a girl on the verge-of living a life she's always dreamt of, becoming a rising star in fashion, and...of marriage! When her parents insist she marry fellow Londoner and serial dater Ayaan Malhotra in order to save their company, Payal has a choice- stick it to her dysfunctional family but put her hard-earned fashion success on hold...or get engaged to save her family's fortune and rescue her own dream-come-true life. Ayaan has always been seen as the reckless spare to his brother, the golden child heir to their parents' company. A little wild, a little broken, and desperate to prove himself, Ayaan agrees to get engaged to Payal-on the condition that he gets 50 percent stake in his parents' company. Neither Payal nor Ayaan anticipate the challenges of keeping their respective agendas behind the engagement to themselves- a meddlesome grandmother, a spurned ex-girlfriend, two families with stakes of their own, a fashion brand on the line, and, unexpectedly, actually liking each other. But as the two race toward an impending engagement ceremony date, they realize that maybe they aren't just in this for business...and perhaps, love is in the cards after all.
