β§ Introduction β§
In a country where marriages are celebrated as festivals and relationships are woven through rituals, traditions, and unspoken expectations, love does not always begin with choice.
Sometimes, it begins with a conversation between elders.
Sometimes, with a photograph passed across a dining table.
And sometimes⦠with two names spoken together long before two hearts learn to beat in harmony.
Arranged marriages are often seen as alliances of families, carefully built on compatibility, reputation, and tradition. But hidden beneath those calculated decisions lie emotions that grow quietly β uncertain, hesitant, yet deeply powerful.
Not every arranged marriage begins with love.
Not every love story begins with understanding.
Some stories begin with strangers learning to share a lifeβ¦
Some begin with memories that one heart remembers while the other forgetsβ¦
And some begin with destiny slowly pulling two lives closer, even when they walk in different directions.
This is one such story.
A story of expectations and emotions, of family bonds and silent dreams, of imperfections and acceptance. A story where love will not arrive instantly β it will grow, stumble, heal, and transform.
Before two hearts learn to belong to each other, there are families that shape them, values that mold them, and histories that unknowingly prepare them for the journey ahead.
Because sometimes⦠to understand a love story, you must first understand the worlds that created it.
β§ The Families Behind The Union β§
In India, marriages are rarely about just two people. They are alliances shaped by traditions, ego, love, hierarchy, and generations of expectations. This story too begins with two such families β the Singhs and the Raghuvanshis, bound by ties, customs, and complicated emotional threads.

The real ruling force of the Singh family. Traditional, sharp-tongued, and unapologetically patriarchal, she believes discipline maintains family honor.

β§ The Bond Between The Two Hearts β§
Despite family politics, personality clashes, and generational expectations, one thing remains constant β every sibling and cousin shares deep affection for each other.
They are the emotional center of their generation.
The ones everyone protects.
The ones everyone secretly rootsΒ forβ¦ even when they donβt realise it themselves.
And somewhere between family decisions, emotional baggage, and destinyβs quiet conspiraciesβ¦
Two hearts stand unknowingly at the edge of a bond that tradition arranged⦠but love is destined to claim.
Welcome to Arranged Hearts β a story not just about two hearts, but two families, two ideologies, two worlds that stand apartβ¦ yet are destined to collide.
A journey where traditions will demand sacrifices, emotions will test patience, and relationships will blur the line between duty and desire.
Here, love will not arrive with grand confessions or perfect moments.
It will grow in stolen glances, unspoken care, silent understanding, and battles fought within fragile hearts.
This is a tale where family expectations will weigh heavy, past wounds will resurface, and choices will not always be easy. Because sometimes, love does not begin with a promise⦠it begins with acceptance.
Between responsibilities and dreams, between ego and affection, between fear and faithβ¦ two souls will slowly discover that destiny may arrange a union β but only love can make it eternal.
And as their story unfolds, s
o will the truth that sometimes, the strongest bonds are not chosen by hearts⦠they are chosen by fate, and nurtured by courage.
Welcome to the journey of Advait and Devanya.
Welcome to a love story written between traditions and emotions.
Welcome to Arranged Hearts.
If Iβve made you laugh, blush, or bite your lip β show me some love. πβπ Your support keeps the ink flowing... and the fantasies alive.
