It was my first marriage anniversary and there was a small get together of close friends at our new property we bought at Alibaug. And I was sure that the question would come up as to who proposed and how did all happen and everything connected with our love story. Shubhika and few of her friends were busy in the kitchen. I was already high on a few drinks so I just simply gave in to their demands.

 

Well, at the outset let me clarify that this is not my story. I come really late in picture. The main protagonist of this is my ex-girlfriend Sneha. Now, since we are not dating I am legally allowed to break the pact. I had promised her that I would not discuss it with anyone, but that was as long as we were dating.

 

So basically, the story goes back to around 3-4 years, when we were just fresh out of college. There were these three friends who had a big time crush on Sneha. They used to find ways and means to impress her and meet her, take her around and gift her stuff. Sneha just loved playing around with them. The strange part was all three were really close friends and none of them was ready to give up their crush for the other. So, all promises of 'main toh tere liye apni jaan tak de dunga' are total fake. Just don't believe in them.

 

It all started off with the college prom night. Unfortunately, even after a three years struggle all three of them were single. Not that they weren't good looking or smart, but sometimes even luck plays a pivotal role. I and Sneha were good friends then and so I asked her out for the prom night and she readily agreed. And tell you, when I went to pick her up, my mouth just opened up when she was walking down the stairs. She was looking super hot in the red outfit with just perfect makeup. So, it was obvious to fall head over heels on her that day.

 

That's when the real drama started. At the party, all three of them tried to woo her with their antics right from buying her a drink to dancing with her. Sneha hated such wannabe followers. Though, for a fact her fan following increased manifold that day. Just when Sneha was not around, the three of them surrounded me and asked me to leave the party at the earliest for my good. On the flip side, I induced them for a bet.

 

A simple bet which I knew was impossible for them to win.

"I give all three of you a chance to go on a date with her. If anyone of you successfully proposed her then I will walk away from you all. If not, you three will never show your face to us again. Deal?"

 

Casanova is what they thought of themselves. And I just played the old trump card, 'Divide and Rule'. Because the other two would never let the date go as per plan. Some twists and turns would spoil the date and that’s exactly what my plan was.

They knew it that today wasn’t their day and I was sure, with Sneha it can never be their day. So, just wanted to play along and watch the movie from behind the scenes.

Convincing Sneha was a task in itself. She was ready to shoot me dead, but eventually to my relief she gave in but for a big condition. To be revealed later on.

First to go was Abhishek. A 20 something, had his room filled with photos of cars and super bikes and dreamt to own some of them someday. His plan was to take Sneha on a long drive to Lonavla, spend the day together and come back; away from the hustle of the city. He persuaded his dad to let him drive the Merc for a day. I am sure he must have given up on a lot of stuff to convince his dad for this on treat. He did not tell the other two of his plans. And he was quite sure that they wouldn’t come miles away to spoil his date. He wanted to benefit from the fist mover advantage. Plus, he had a bungalow at Lonavla, all ready to welcome them. But they were his best friends, they somehow found out. And that was about it.

I came to know later on that it was a beautiful Bungalow facing the waterfalls, Sneha would surely have been impressed, typical girl likings you see. But, the Merc was never destined to reach the Bungalow. Why? That’s got to be an easy guess. Nope it wasn’t break failure, that was a huge risk his friends would not want to take. Abhishek had apparently made full proof plans. But he forgot that he had his best friends in competition. The petrol tank was full in the night and empty when they were half-way on the Mumbai-Pune expressway. The Merc just wouldn’t move. Abhishek had decided to drive himself to Lonavla and gave the driver an off. He must have been regretting the decision now. With no petrol pump in sight, he tried hitch-hiking to a petrol pump, which was again miles away. He couldn’t leave the Merc behind. So he asked Sneha to sit back till he arranged for some fuel. By the time he arranged for some petrol, Sneha was totally infuriated. She ordered him to drop her back home at the earliest and was in no mood to listen to him. He sort of literally begged her to let him drive her to the Bungalow but she wouldn’t budge.

Basically, Abhishek’s date plan was a big flop. His friends came home in the night to enquire about the date. Obviously, they knew what it was going to be but they wanted to have the pleasure to hear it from his mouth and they had a crazy laughter time that night. What they forgot was that a similar fate awaited them.

Next to plan was Sanchit. He decided to do what Sneha loves the most. Sneha was a total party animal and celebrity buff. He decided to take her for a club party at one of the most happening night spot of the city where most of the bollywood celebs used to descend for drinks. Sneha all dressed and decked up was eagerly waiting for the party. More than the date she was looking ahead for meeting the celebs. She just did not care about Sanchit and his plans. Sanchit rented a Hayabusa for that evening. That’s when Sneha began taking interest in him and his efforts. He had again made all arrangements. Entry through guest list, booked the best table and everything. It was all perfect; atleast it started off that way. The two of them were enjoying the date as he ensured his friends would not reach them as entry was only through guest list. But ‘honi ko kaun taal sakta hai’. His friends knew where he was.

The evening started of beautifully with Sanchit and Sneha dancing. Then Sanchit, went to get drinks. That’s when the trouble started. Sneha would get high really quick on Malibu. The bartender on the instructions of Sanchit’s friends had spiked the drink with an extra dose of Malibu. Sanchit was obviously unaware of this. One peg down and Sneha began acting crazy, like literally; shouting out load, running across the disc, spilling people’s drinks and talking to total random strangers.

Sanchit was caught off-guard. He did not know how to handle this. He somehow managed to pull her out of the disc; and dropped her back home. All his efforts in vain; he silently went back home to his room. There the other two were just waiting for him to come anytime. On seeing his depressed face they burst out laughing. That’s when he realized that the two of them were surely involved somewhere; but did not understand how. All the while he thought there was something wrong with Sneha, but finally he came face to face with the true culprits. That’s when he was informed about Sneha’s reaction towards Malibu and them tipping of the bartender to do so.

Two down, third in line was Vicky; and I admit, smarter of the lot. Abhsihek and Sanchit had tried to keep their plans hidden but Vicky openly disclosed the same. Vicky had a waterfront row house at Madh. He had planned a candle-light dinner, by the water under the moonlight with the canopy over their head.

Vicky was ready for the plan and so were his friends. But a major setback awaited them. And it wasn’t the pair on date this time but it was Abhishek and Sanchit. Vicky had misled them. He had actually booked his uncle’s farm house at Dahanu. He blindfolded Sneha and took her to the place so that she wouldn’t realize where they were heading to and tip off his friends. Fortunately,  Dahanu was miles away from Madh. But since Abhishek and Sanchit started off earlier than Vicky they had some time to catch up. But the question was how.

At the other end Vicky was having an amazing time. His plans were exactly the same as disclosed, only the venue changed. Even Sneha was not aware of the shift. The weather was nothing less of romantic, with light music playing in the background, the sun set view and a butler at your service. Vicky was confident of passing the test. With the full moon shining above them, through the translucent canopy, Vicky got down to his knees and took Sneha’s hand forward. Just as he removed the ring from his pocket, the canopy came crashing in.

Vicky was aghast as to how did this happen. He managed to get himself and Sneha out of the fallen canopy but did not find anyone around. The butler also did not know how all this happen. He started blaming some ghosts who he says visits the farmhouse every few months. Vicky took Sneha inside the house where he had made alternative arrangements. He decided to push the proposal section a bit back, giving Sneha sometime to come back to normalcy. But that wasn’t a wise decision I must say. Horror music began playing on the stereo’s in place of the romantic music with occasional shirks. Sneha began to freak out when suddenly something flew past her. She ran out of the farmhouse into the car and just drove herself away from the farmhouse. Vicky came running behind her, shouting and pleading her to stop. But she just wouldn’t listen. When the car zoomed out off the road, he saw Abhishek and Sanchit coming in on their bikes. He began to wonder, if it was not them, then who messed up his plans. Now, he went into a state of shock, for if ghosts really do exist. He hasn’t visited the farmhouse ever again.

The story doesn’t end here. They three felt betrayed and I wanted to give them another chance at wooing her. But it would have to be a face off. I told them I would be getting Sneha to Adam and Steve this weekend. Adam and Steve have got a contest running. The winner gets another round of date with her. They were game, unaware of what test I was putting them to.

That’s when Shubhika walked in. “Aarav I will kill you if you told them about the trio.”

And my over so smart friends, “Yes, he did. But you know about his ex-girlfriends antics?”

“I am Sneha, that was my name before marriage.” And after a pause, “And I am sure he did not tell you guys the main climax of each incident.  Aarav was the ghost. He gave the idea to remove the petrol from the car. And it was he who knew that I get high on Malibu.”

Everyone was stunned and staring at me. I was feeling really embarrassed, but that did not stop Shubhika.

“He had a big time crush on me, but did not have the guts to propose me. It was I who had to propose him eventually. Reverse proposal you see.”

Everyone began to laugh and I had never felt so embarrassed ever before in my life.

That’s when a friend asked, “What was the last chance then?”

“We never went to Adam and Steve. That’s a gay club and they had a stripping competition that weekend.”

Backstab - Part 4

Whenever at any board meetings any issue cropped up or if any matter was to be discussed, then Veer and Shikha would always be at loggerheads. Every time trying to cut the other and contradict each other.


But these gruelling debates would turn into love, no-one could ever even imagine. But it did happen. Since Abhishek and Manvi were busy with the daily chores of office, it was decided to send Veer and Manvi to Agra to attend a conference. Well, Agra – the city that houses The Taj – the symbol of love, who could resist falling in love.

In front of the Taj Veer proposed to Shikha and she consented.

Post the Board meeting, at Vishal’s residence, Vishal, Manvi and Veer were discussing about ways to bump Abhishek further, but they still couldn’t understand how come even the other party turned out to be a fraud.

“It was because of me.” entered Shikha.

Rest of the three together,
“You.”, in a proper questionable and shocking tone.

“Yes. It’s me. I also have a small revenge to take against that f*****g loser.”

Veer concerned, “What did he do to you sweety?”

“I will let you know soon. Currently I am more interested in getting rid of him from my life and teach him a lesson of a lifetime.”

Now, since these four master-minds had shaken hands together, Abhishek was sure to have a royal time, and all that in a situation where he does not even know he is being targeted and some people are up in arms plotting against him.


Well, no one is alone in this world. Tables had to turn but the question was, was it in favour of Abhishek or it tilted further towards Manvi and gang.


Once Manvi was late for office and there was a surprise waiting for her when she entered Abhishek’s cabin.

There inside talking to him was none other than Meghna. She silently hid behind the door but failed to hear the entire conversation.

After Meghna left Abhishek’s cabin just as Manvi was about to enter, she saw Meghna going straight to Shikha’s cabin. Now that was more of a shocker. Do Shikha and Meghna know each other? And why are they meeting up in Abhishek’s office?

Here again she slid behind the door and tried to overhear them. And this conversation was a lot more audible.

“What do you think you are doing Shikha?”

“Meghna. How come you in my office?”

“Shikha, didn’t I tell you not to do anything to Abhishek.”

“But he spoilt your life Di. How could I let him go off so easily?”

Manvi was stunned. And in her anger she did one of the biggest blunders ever.

She marched directly into Abhishek’s cabin and gave him two tight slaps right across his face.

Abhishek was way too shocked to react. He just kept staring at Manvi in her eye while she broke down.

“Why the hell did you have to do this to me? I have always loved you more than myself. And you…you ditched me for that s***t.”

Abhishek still was not aware of what exactly was she talking about as it had been a long time since he and Meghna parted ways.

“Just to stay in touch with that b***h, you gave her sister the job. Now I understand why were you stressing on Shikha getting the job instead of Veer.”

Now, that was a shock for Abhishek, as he was totally unaware of the fact that Shikha was Meghna’s sister.

And the next thing he does is summoning Shikha to his cabin.

Meghna had left the office, but the office atmosphere was surely going to be in turmoil.

Shikha entered Abhishek’s cabin, and seeing Manvi in tears at the other end, she understood that something was surely wrong, and had to be really careful with her words.

“Ms. Shikha. Can I please know who was that female you just met in your cabin?”

“Sorry sir, but if I am not wrong, she came to my cabin after meeting you only.”

“Don’t try and act over smart with me. You clearly know what I am pointing towards.”

“Yes, Mr.Abhishek, I know what you want me to speak about.”

“You are fired.”

“You can’t do that.”

“Do you know whom you are playing around with? I am the owner of this damn company.”

“I don’t care.”

“Do you wish to leave with respect or thrown out from here?”

“None of the two.”

“And what do you think will convince me not to fire you?”

“We both have a copy of the employment contract signed between us. It clearly states on the 5th page clause no. 7, that even if both the parties agree the contract cannot be brought to an end before completion of a year.”

“You think that contract is going to save you.”

“Atleast for your company’s reputation, you may have to. And then there are just six months for that year to get over. And by then who know’s, even the company maybe over.”

“What the hell are you trying to say?”

But Shikha jus walked out of the cabin, and Abhishek did sniff in that something was fishy.

Backstab - Part 3

Abhiman Services Ltd. had bagged their first service contract with the help of the team working under Shikha. They had literally slogged day and night for a week to be able to provide the best back-up strategy and presentation to convince the prospective client over their reliability inspite of them being the newest entrant to the industry.

But it became a point of envy for Veer as she had bagged the first contract for the company ahead of him. And since both of them were on a probationary period, she had notched an early lead into the race.

Well not really. Veer had the full support of Manvi in his efforts. It sometimes made people doubt the reason for the inclination, but as long as they brought work for the company, nobody ever questioned. And within a month of the start, Veer and his team successfully got charge for a multinational company’s activities. It was a really huge contract with a contract value being 10 times more than what Shikha had acquired.

So, now the real battle had begun. The survival of the fittest. And this had also brought him to an extent in the good books of Abhishek, as at the end of the day he was interested in business and nothing else.



With a steady workforce of 20 people working for the company, though in groups, one headed by Veer and the other by Shikha, the company was going great guns. But as it is said that fights could be a start for a new relationship. It holds really true in their case.

Two people who couldn’t stand the other person, and were always upto some political move to outdo the other, imagine the two of them falling in love. Truly filmy style. Well, that’s another long story to be told some other time, but surely a sweet and romantic one.

But this story does play a vital role in the story of Abhishek and Manvi. The question is whether to strengthen the weakening bonds or detangle the loose ends. That only time would tell.

Back to Abhiman Services Ltd. The company was now more than 6months old, and it had been already 3months since Veer and Shikha had put behind all their differences and started working together as a team. And that was also after confirmation coming in from Abhishek to retain the two. But then why was the company not progressing. Hardly any new assignments were being procured and all the old one’s were running behind schedule. Was it because of the workload or some selfish motives of an insider?

Abhishek had lost his sleep as gradually his investments were eroding and he could do nothing about it. Profits were far from sight. On the contrary the situation was such that the company was paying penalties for delaying the completion date. Things were not at all smooth and beyond control.

Abhishek was totally unaware of what was going on behind his back. Well loads of plotting and backstabbing were the grim reality.

And who was the culprit. None other than Manvi. And was she alone in it. Well, not really.

Lets move back to the conversation between Manvi and Vishal at the mall.

“Manvi, please stop crying. You know that I can never see you cry.”

“Why did he have to do this to me? I loved and cared for him so much and this is what he gives me in return.”

“But what can you do about it. Maybe just leave him.”

“Nope. Not so easily.” Manvi continued wiping her tears. “This b*****d needs to learn a lesson.”

Vishal was rather stunned.

“What are you planning to do?”

“He wants to start a new business. I will take him to bankruptcy and then dump him.”

“You got to be kidding.”

“I am hell serious. And Vishal, please I need your help in this.”

After a bit of hesitation, Vishal gave in.



Abhishek wanted to know what was actually happening and how come all of a sudden the tide had turned against his company and so he called a meeting of the main personnel’s of his office, the Board Meeting.

While in the midst of the meeting, Abhishek got a call from an unknown number,

“Is this Mr.Abhishek.”

“Yes, speaking, may I know who is on the line.”

“That’s not important. What is important for you is to know that two of your clients are actually fraud companies and their offices have just been raided and seized by the police officials.”

“What?”, Abhishek had got the shock of his life.

These two were the first contracts bagged by Abhiman Services Ltd.

But then there was a smile on the face of Manvi and even Veer.

Well, the connection was pretty evident. Veer was Manvi’s reply to Abhishek, for ditching her for another female.

Veer was Vishal’s younger brother.

Equally shocking was a wicked smile on the face of Shikha. Now what was she upto?

It’s better if we leave it on time to answer this question.

Backstab - Part 2

Abhishek & Manvi were in search of an associate who could be highly qualified to help them run the business smoothly, but at the same time not demand a high remuneration. So, in short they would have to look for young people with hardly any experience, but a vast knowledge base and put in their entire enthusiasm to achieve their dreams in life.

That’s when Abhishek interviewed Shikha. She was young, dynamic, good-looking and most of all, her qualification perfectly fitted into the criteria. Abhishek was bowled over by her confidence and had almost made up his mind to appoint her, when Manvi intervened with seeking Veer’s appointment at the post. Manvi felt that in the circumstances in which they are and the qualifications they are in search for, were all present in Veer and he would do an amazing job if appointed.

Both Abhishek and Manvi stressed upon appointing their selections as the companies new associate. Just then, they learnt that their bankers had approved of their venture loan. So a thought crossed their minds at that point of time.

Veer and Shikha both got their appointment letters within a week’s time, to join from next month on a probationary period of 6months. The better performer would continue and the other would be asked to leave.

But to get this appointment letter, both had indeed put in a lot of efforts. Their efforts were not to prove themselves as the better candidate, but actually prove that the other wasn’t worthy of the handling the post. A bit of politics even before joining the office, so the real office politics was yet to come.

But why all this for a petty job?


But how come, after seven years of togetherness, a point of dis-agreement.


Well, sorts of both of them had points to defend themselves. A few months before quitting the bank, Abhishek was gradually getting attracted to his colleague Meghna. They used to spend most of the time together at office, and if that was not less, Abhishek even began dropping her home. That was just the start. Later on, he would drop over for a coffee and at times even stayed overnight. And then what happened I guess only the two of them know.

Manvi was out of town for her Ad research and was informed of all this by Vishal when she came back.

Now, the question why did Vishal tell her and how did he know.

Vishal and Meghna used to stay in the same building, or to be more precise they were neighbours. So he had seen the two of them many a time’s together, late at nights.

And then one day, incidentally Vishal bumped into Manvi at a store.

“Hey, Hi Manvi.”

“Ohh!!…Hi Vishal.”

“Long time. Atleast you remember me. How have you been?”

“Still your sarcasm hasn’t left you.”

“So, you still remember some of my habits.”

“Why do you enjoy hurting someone so much?”

“You were the one who desert guys, and then we look for someone else. First me and now Abhishek.”

“Shut up. And wait a sec. What did you just say? Desert Abhishek. My foot.”

“Then inspite of you being there, why does he need another female.”

“I don’t get you. Can we just sit over a cup of coffee and you tell me what you are exactly trying to tell.”

They went and sat at a nearby coffee shop.

“Don’t tell me, you got no clue about it?”

“If I had a hint of what you are talking about, then wouldn’t have bothered you for sure.”

“No formality. Even after that incident, I tried to be friends, but you only ran away.”

“Can you please get to the topic? I need to rush back home.”

“I have seen Abhishek with Meghna many a times. He drops her home, and lately has even started staying over at times.”

“How do you know all this?”

“She is my neighbour. She was my associate’s fiancée. They were engaged and were about to get married. But due to some reason the marriage broke off and she moved out of her family house.”

There was silence for a while.

“She moved in just around two months back. Since then, Abhishek has been seen around, very often together. Its even talked about, that he is the reason behind the marriage being called off.”

“What rubbish?”

“You think I am fooling around. Then you are most welcome to come over and check the visitor’s register and speak to our neighbours. You will know it for yourself.”

Manvi was in tears.

They spoke for a while, bringing back old memories and how to get out of the current situation.

She was heartbroken. She didn’t expect this sort of behaviour from her long time beau Abhishek.

“Thanks Vishal.”

And she left the café after having no words to defend Abhishek.

Vishal offered to drop her back home, but she preferred the rick instead.


Abhishek confessed all to Manvi about him and Meghna.

“I didn’t even realise when did I got dragged away in that direction.”

“How could you do this to me Abhi.”

“I promise you, this will never happen again. Just give me one more chance.”

“You actually think all’s going to be the same after all this.”

“Sorry Manvi. You know that I can’t live without you.”

“I can see that very well. I left my parents and my career behind for your sake, and this is how you treat me back. I wasn’t hurt so much when my parents refused to recognise me as their daughter after my decision to live with you. And if it wasn’t today that I met Vishal by chance, I would have never even have come to know the truth.”

“Ohh…so that b*****d…Vishal told you all this. You still meet him that f****r”

“It was just a co-incidence that we met each other at the mall. And you have no right to talk about all this, after what you have done.”

The debate lasted for hours, with Manvi finally giving in but surely with some sort of grudge in her heart. And on realising that Vishal was the person who told Manvi all, he felt insecure once again, thinking that the two still meet and are getting closer and recollecting those old college days when the two were awarded the “Hottest Couple In college” tag at the Prom Night.

So after so many years together, the cracks had begun to crop up, just for a small mistake, a small lust maybe.

But was actually everything back to normal or…???

Backstab - Part 1

It’s been seven years to the relationship of Abhishek & Manvi. They were dating each other since their college days. They surely could be counted amongst the rarest of couples to be going steady, even though starting off at a teen age.

Currently they were in the process of setting up a new company, and had just zeroed it upon the data entry business. They were in the look out for young professionals, of their similar age to fill up the vacant posts in their newly floated company. They named it Abhiman Services Ltd.

Abhishek was a Commerce graduate, and was working in an international bank since four years, before finally deciding to call it quits.

Manvi was a graduate in Mass Media, and was employed with the top ad firm in town, before halting her career ambitions to support Abhishek’s endeavor in the new territory of business.

Manvi sticked along to Abhishek’s decisions and always supported him, right from his decision of dropping out from the MBA course, post completing his graduation, till date. She was probably the only motivating factor in Abhishek’s life.

So how did Manvi enter Abhishek’s life?

It was the annual awards day in college and the college was in look out for two new comperes for the function. That’s when they met for the first time. They initially met up as co-hosts, gradually with the turn of events changing the relationship to friends, best friends, so-called good friends, and eventually turning that officially to that of a couple.

Alongside, as there mutual relationship progressed, also saw a sharp climb in their respective popularity charts in the college premises. They soon became the most sought after hosts for various events within the college.

But as it is rightly said that, if you do not stay put down on earth as you soar to greater heights, your ego & attitude is bound to bring you crashing down. Though, Manvi stayed firm on her feet, Abhishek became a dreamer of reaching out at those things, the prospects of accomplishments of which were bare minimum. And just when his career was at its peak, he made the biggest mistake of letting go off to host a show at the city level. He turned down the offer giving vague reasons, thinking he would be given a more lucrative offer, which eventually didn’t happen and he washed his hands on this opportunity.

And Vishal, a popular model, from the same college replaced him as the host for the event alongwith Manvi.

And, that was a huge leap in Manvi’s career, when an announcement almost became an obstacle to her rising career. All of a sudden out of no-where, Abhishek confirmed to the college magazine in an interview that he & Manvi have been seeing each other for three years. The fact was kept hidden so far, as the declaration would make it sort of mandatory for organizers to invite the duo to host the event & not as singletons.

But luckily, with changing circumstances she handled the uprift professionally, but finally gave up the field, when she realized that her upward movement was creating a sense of insecurity in the mind of Abhishek. And anyways that was there last year in college.

And the insecurity in the mind of Abhishek was not that he did not trust Manvi. There was more to there past. Vishal was Abhishek’s best friend in the first two years of college. And during those two years Manvi was Vishal’s girl. With the turn of events and circumstances, friendship between Abhishek and Vishal had taken a bad turn.

Vishal was a popular host in college, and was aspiring to make it big it in the modelling industry. Manvi was against this idea of his, eventually leading to their break up. During their two years relationship, Abhishek had met Manvi just a couple of times. Vishal did manage his relationship and never let his friends down. But then Abhishek and Manvi came to know each other only when they became co-hosts. And then soon turning into a couple, created a rift among the trio. The friendship broke off without even giving in a second thought.

This was the reason of Abhishek’s insecurity. What if Vishal tries to take Manvi away from him? What if he still likes Manvi? What if he still seeks revenge?

And in that frame of mind he did the blunder of going public about his relationship, indirectly putting a full stop in Manvi’s rising career.


Four years post graduating out of colleges, they are still together, and now venturing into an altogether new horizon, after pooling in all their contacts, finances, and resources into this new venture. It was sort of a dream come true for Abhishek, & Manvi just hopped along as his shadow.

The duo were soon to be engaged and preparations were on the way. They were getting engaged against the wishes of their parents. But well who cares. They had stuck to each for seven years against their parent’s desires; so taking a step ahead in the relationship wasn’t surely a big deal. And then this was not the only step taken by Abhishek against his parent’s wishes. His decision to quit MBA, quit the high profile job, start of a new business, were all against his parents wishes.


But this is not the story only of Abhishek & Manvi. There is also Veer and Shikha.
