ISHAAN ADHIKARI

Age: 18

“Some people are born to stand out... Ishaan Adhikari is one of them.”

Smart. Charming. Confident.

Ishaan is the kind of boy who effortlessly grabs everyone's attention the moment he steps into a room. Standing 6 feet tall, with mesmerizing green eyes and jet-black hair, he's impossible to ignore.

He's the school's top student and the boy almost every girl secretly dreams about. He loves the thrill of fast bikes, the peace of watching sunsets, and the satisfaction of winning every challenge that comes his way.

His family is his greatest strength. His younger brother, Ritvik Adhikari, is his complete opposite but also his closest companion. His father, Govinda Adhikari, is a successful businessman, while his mother, Aarti Adhikari, manages his father's company.

But when it comes to love...

His heart has never made room for it.

He believes love is nothing more than a distraction.

His only dream is to become one of the most successful businessmen and one day lead his father's company.

Focused. Fearless. Unbreakable.

TANVI GAUTAM

Age: 17

“She was chaos wrapped in kindness... a girl who smiled like sunshine but carried storms inside her heart.”

Tanvi Gautam is full of life.

With her long, wavy black hair, beautiful hazel-brown eyes, and petite 5'2" frame, she may look innocent—but don't let that fool you.

She's talkative, stubborn, emotional, and endlessly cheerful. She believes in dreams, destiny, and above all, Lord Krishna.

The only daughter of her family, Tanvi can start an argument in one moment and melt your heart with her kindness the next.

An ambivert by nature, she finds comfort in romance novels, losing herself in stories where love always wins.

Maybe that's why...

She still believes that true love exists.

Her best friend, Shreya Dhakal, has been by her side through every smile and every tear. Her mother, Meera Gautam, is a caring doctor, and her father, Vivek Gautam, is a respected lawyer.

RITVIK ADHIKARI

“Rules were made to be broken... and Ritvik never misses a chance to prove it.”

Ritvik Adhikari is Ishaan's younger brother.

Funny, mischievous, and impossible to keep quiet, he's the kind of person who can make anyone laugh within minutes.

Standing 5'8" tall, with black hair and black eyes, he hates textbooks, avoids studying whenever possible, and somehow still manages to enjoy life more than anyone else.

Wherever Ritvik goes...

Laughter follows.

SHREYA DHAKAL

“A true friend doesn't just stand beside you... she stands in front of every storm meant for you.”

Shreya Dhakal is Tanvi's best friend and biggest supporter.

She's one of the school's brightest students and shares the topper's title with the best of them.

Calm, intelligent, and fiercely protective, Shreya would do anything for Tanvi. She may not say much, but when it comes to her best friend, she's ready to fight the whole world.

Standing 5 feet tall, with short, silky black hair and black eyes, she carries herself with quiet confidence.

Her mother, Naina Dhakal, is a bank manager, while her father, Aditya Dhakal, works as a company manager.

...

Four hearts.

Four different journeys.

One story where hatred may be the beginning... but love is destined to be the end.

Welcome to Beneath the Hate, Lies Love.
