When the rich tycoon walked ahead, cutting the huge line. People's mouths gaped open as they stared on with nothing much to do in their power when one voice in the crowd rose. That was the first time when Shivay Singh Oberoi met Anika. Just Anika. The self-made girl who stood there without carrying the last name, while Naam Khoon Khandaan was all that mattered to the Oberoi Son!
When she felt the money was smacked on her face and she was looked down upon for not being rich, Anika met the great billionaire Shivay Singh Oberoi.
It all started off with Sheesha-Tod Takkar and her slapping Money back at his face, he was left admiring her guts...the very moment it could be seen that it was just the starting and not the end...and it continued with more of those takkars in upcoming days. They met at the Maha Aarti and the next day the epic Gobar-Phenk fiasco happened, she was left in awe of his attitude...something she called his Tadi! They met the very same evening again when she stood in place of his bride and he lifted her Veil...and it was clear, the first ritual done together, more to come, they were just destined to meet!
Water just played a key role in their relationship, she threw a glass of water and he threw her in a pool...The warnings and threats given in the heat of the pool, the trip to the jail, the misunderstandings, a story started to form there.
His trick of burning the expensive painting, her inexperienced self, burning the pasta, his anger towards her, her strong and confident self that started to weaken...she was like a challenge for him and he was like a puzzle for her!
The cheque was thrown, the three day challenge happened...he looked equally pained, in deep thoughts that why was he getting affected with her...water was splashed across the faces, desperate measures were taken. He wanted to protect his family, she wanted to protect her brother and their little shelter.
He took away her house only to bring her on the streets but she in turn landed at his own house as his wedding planner, roaming around in his house in front of him, giving orders. She gave back to him in his own Signature Style...Check-Mate happened, and he stood dumbfound. She scared him with her Chameli, he took a step back, she spat his Sairo Bano...his expensive Coffee at his all the more expensive Shirt and he was left wondering, what is she...he hugged her mistaking her for his fianc and those feelings stirred, both felt a connection...he took her Chaand with him and out of embarrassment tried ignoring her the next day. She found him finally, held his hand, he looked puzzled and mesmerized as she looked at her honey and took back her moon.
Their fights continued as they came closer, he almost died in the helicopter... well chopper accident, and her first sign of worry came afloat. But Not soon after she found him coming him fit and fine, angry at her for switching his files. Something sparked, she took hold of the shirt. She started calling him Billu and came up with the epic Billu Ki Shadi Hogi jingle. The falls continued in the upcoming days, as she fixed his wig for Rakshabadhan play. He started to drop her home and they shared some intense and awkward moments in the car! Every time those feelings were stirred and left unsettled!
The attacks on him and his family kept happening but she was his Guardian Angel, as told by his Grand Mom, saved him everytime, directly or indirectly!
Janamashtimi came and this was the first time he saw her unconscious, not speaking a word and lying lifeless...worries and the feel of loosing something precious entered Billu Ji's mind, as he threw a bucket of water to get her back to his life and a slight smile seeing her fine spread across his worry filled face!
The ex-girlfriend entered their life, nothing but worked as a little catalyst for the couple in the slice. The girls tried to scare away the boys, Shivay didn't get scared even from the snake toy. DrunkShivIka danced on Paan Banaras wala before which they had a heart to heart talk, while he confessed, he found her cute, she let him how she was lost in his Kanji Rainbow Eyes everytime she saw him. Next morning they woke up tied to each other after sleeping blissfully behind the moon.
Mallika leaves telling Shivay that it was Anika, who brought out the Shivay in him and Shivay is left wondering! But a turn of events takes place such that he announces his wedding in a day and that is the time Anika feels something inside her heart, she fights with those feelings as to why is she feeling so bad and they keep bumping into each other, not being able to say a word to each other but feelings only becoming a hurdle and destiny that kept bringing them together with some or other excuse!
The CD Fiasco happened and he left his bride to be at altar at just one signal of Anika that she wanted to talk to him and she again as the guarding force, protecting his family from all evils got him out of trouble!
Circumstances didn't favor and he threw her out of his house and took away her job, but she came back, only to save him from another grave situation, keeping her honor at stake for him and got him out of trouble, leaving him forever obliged and he in return saved her life and for the first time, said a Sorry...Water kept playing the binding force between them!
After spending some love-filled moments with her when he realized that he is now feeling those feelings he should, for her, he declared his marriage the very next day, leaving her shattered once again...but destiny kept making them do all the rituals meant for bride-groom, together...be it Karwachauth or Diwali Pooja!
Shivay's another friend Daksh came into their life who fell for Anika at her first look and became her secret stalker, making life threatening attacks on her and Shivay being her guardian angel this time, saving her from all those attacks, but Daksh somehow managed to get engaged to Anika, leaving the same feeling in Shivay's heart, that Anika had been feeling for long! Before leaving, Daksh planted a grievous misunderstanding in Shivay's heart against Anika, blowing out Shivay's respect and his confidence in Anika...leaving him bewildered!
Marriage day came and both kept fighting and struggling against those feelings, overpowered by misunderstandings and circumstances...and finally Destiny played its role, making 2 girls leaving Shivay at altar, and he blackmailing Anika into a forceful marriage, became inhumane for a while, kidnapped her little brother and threatening her to harm the little kid, took nuptial vows with her...and that is how, Just Anika became Mrs. Anika Shivay Singh Oberoi .
Sharing a room, doing post marriage rituals together became need of the hour but that was destiny's play, of bringing them closer...slowly the misunderstanding began to fade away, he started caring for her, feeling for her...seeing through her pain and her harsh words and her silence started to drive him mad! Her paralyzed brother came in their life and he was hit by another fact, and he only tried to make things better for the brother-sister since then. Truth came slapping him hard on his face when his rich, well brought up friend Daksh came back, only to take away Anika from Shivay's life, by taking away her life and revealing the truth to him. Stumped by the truth, his world came crashing down and he saw her lying lifeless in his arms...and that was the moment, Shivay Singh Oberoi feared death!
Various attacks kept happening, only bringing them closer, Shivay Singh Oberoi slowly becoming just Shivay, the moments that brought them together kept coming back, be it windscreen breaking or coffee spitting, and this time, Shivay Singh Oberoi, being Anika's Billu...a completely changed man...was left with a smile on his face!
Both fighting with their realization of love, running away from those feelings, are having a beautiful progression, very subtle and poignant, in the journey of love, where various love filled and happy-sad moments are only bringing them together, reaching a stage where Shivay has finally started to call Anika his wife, started teasing her and spending some love filled moments with her, giving her lessons on flirting and himself started to speak her language, admiring her for what she is, accepting her as she is and declaring to his family that he has immense Faith in Anika, the unshakable trust that Anika can do no wrong! Waiting for the 2 imperfect people, to make a perfect couple...in this journey of Love.
