Sunil & Akhila's story
In a small town, Akhila and Sunil met for an arranged marriage. Their families had chosen them, both strangers yet bound by tradition. At first, there was awkwardness, two lives colliding without warning. But as days passed, they shared stories, laughter, and long conversations. Sunil admired Akhila's strength, Akhila found solace in Sunil's quiet warmth. What began as duty slowly blossomed into trust, then friendship, then love.
The wedding day came, not just a union of families, but of hearts. And in that moment, they realized—love doesn’t always start with a spark, but with a promise.
