Synopsis for Love Rekindled

The story begins with Naina and Nikhil walking at the Promenade. Nikhil proposes to Naina and she happily accepts. They continue talking and Naina acknowledges that he'd appealed to her because his father was a drug dealer. Nikhil laughs it off.1

A week later, Naina receives a letter from Nikhil in which he breaks off the engagement and that it was just 'good fun'.2

Naina is heartbrokn but furious that she fell into his trap and as she has a major ego problem she can't believe that she's been dumped. She vows to hurt and break the hearts of any eligible bachelor she encounters with. She becomes an introvert and lashes out to people with her vicious tongue. She's avoided by all her friends in college. Only two people stand by her - her twin brother Jai, and her best friend Amrita. 3

They try their utmost to reform her personality back to how she was before, cheerful and strong-minded, by talking to her but to no avail.4

2 years later:5

The three graduate from college. Jai hears of a fête being held there for ex-students and coaxes Naina to come. She agrees.6

At the fête, Naina bumps into a handsome young man called Raj. For Raj, it is love at first sight but Naina jut sees him as another man to offend. She insults him.7

Jai and Amrita come up to them. It turns out that Raj and Amrita are good family friends of old but lose touch because Raj leaves for England to complete his medical studies. They catch up on a lot, meeting regularly, sometimes taking Naina with them.8

Raj takes Amrita and Jai out to lunch at a restaurant in Bandstand and confesses his love for Naina for all her faults.9

Jai then confides in Raj the reason for Naina's obvious hatred of the male species. Raj comprehends everything perfectly realizing that her callous attitude is just a facade to evade being hurt again. Instead of rejecting her, he sets about to help her.10

He proposes to her and she coldly refuses. Though he's slightly disappointed, he'd expected this and placidly asks her if they may be friends at the most. She reluctantly agrees, for she finds an inexplicable charm about him, and is also curious to know why any guy would still want to know after all her snide remarks.11

Slowly, but surely, with Raj's help, Naina begins to throw off her guise. She becomes her old self again, fun-loving and jolly. 12

Gradually, she falls in love with him. Jai and Amrita are engaged to be married. At their engagement ceremony at Le Meredian, she hears two middle-aged women gossiping that Raj Sharma has fallen in love with a pretty girl and is going to ask for her hand in marriage. 13

She's very upset, but now has learnt to unselfish. So she leaves the hotel for the beautiful garden outside wanting to be alone. Raj has been looking around for her, finds her in the garden. They gaze at the pool shimmering in the pale moonlight. The story ends with Raj suddenly proposing to her. Naina is pleasantly surprised and of course joyfully accepts.14
