The sound of his footsteps echoed in his ears as he walked through the corridors of "PTSD Anonymous group. He mentally cursed the two females for having brought him here.
"Aap apni patni se bepannaah mohabbat karte the her words kept resounding in his ears.
As he reached the door he heard people say their confessions..
"I lost all my money...
"I can't quit drinking...
"I am too fat...
"I am too ugly...

Acknowledgement for the fact that beneath Aditya Hooda's cool,calm and rude behaviour his hurt was the same as hers and it was this pain that bound them together not the accident of their dead cheating spouses. Because in an entire room full of people this was the only guy who understood what she was going through.
