BADNAAM TERE ISHQ MEIN
Prologue
Navya was adopted by Mr. Vikram Dharma and his wife Mrs. Reena Sharma when she was five years old.
For the first time, life felt warm.
Reena loved her not as an adopted child, but as her own—soft smiles, gentle scoldings, and a home that finally felt like home.
But happiness, in her life, was never meant to stay.
Two years later, Reena died in an accident.
Left alone with grief and unanswered questions, Navya slowly faded into loneliness. Vikram buried himself in work, chasing stability while unknowingly losing his daughter in the process. Years passed, and he remarried.
Sikha entered Navya’s life with politeness and forced smiles.
At first.
Slowly, love turned into indifference.
Indifference into neglect.
And neglect into quiet cruelty
When Sikha gave birth to Neha, Navya’s place in the family disappeared completely. Vikram, too, drifted away—because now, he had his own daughter.
Twelve years passed like a slow ache...
Navya no longer wished to stay where she felt unwanted.
And she left everything behind...
Was that destiny was preparing a reunion
A meeting with someone she had once known.
Someone she had lost long ago.
Someone who would change everything.
Deewane tere pyaar mein, khoe rehte har pahar,
Teri hasi mein dhoondte, apni duniya ka safar.
Pagal teri mohabbat mein, har had se guzar gaye,
Dil ko na sambhal paaye, bas tujhse bandh gaye.
Chaha tujhe be-inteha, phir bhi mukammal na hue,
Reh gaye bas ek afsana sa—
adhure khwab jaise,
jab se BADNAAM TERE ISHQ MEIN hue.

Episode 1
This morning too—like most mornings—began with Sikha’s taunts.
Sikha Sharma
“Pata nahi kya dekh kar Vikram ne tumhe adopt kar liya, Koi bhi kaam dhang se nahi kar sakti.”
Navya Sharma
Sorry, mummy!
Sikha Sharma
“Don’t call me that. I am not your mother.”
It wasn’t new.
She had heard these words countless times.
Yet every time, they pierced her heart the same way—
as if the wound never learned how to heal.
Later that day, after finishing all the kitchen work, Navya sat alone in her room.
In her trembling hands was Reena’s photograph.
And like always, memories came rushing back.
Reena Sharma
“Look, I made cupcakes for you.”
Little Navya
“Really? Thank you! You’re the best. Wahan pe hume har month sirf ek cupcake aur ice cream milti thi… phir next cupcake ke liye poora mahina wait karna padta tha.”
Reena Sharma
“Ab wait nahi karna padega. Main khud banaungi—sirf tumhare liye.”
Little Navya
Yaayyy!!!(✯◡✯) (✯◡✯)
Navya hugged the photo to her chest.
Navya Sharma
“Why did you leave me, mumma?"
Navya Sharma
“You were the only one who loved me…
Ab mere paas koi nahi hai.
Koi bhi nahi.”

Episode 2
A few days later, Navya left for college like always—
Quiet, invisible, carrying storms inside her.
That morning, Sikha stopped her midway.
Sikha Sharma
“Complete your studies!"
Sikha Sharma
“And make sure you get good grades. I want you married as soon as possible—
after a few months, once your studies are done.”
Navya Sharma
“But… it’s not my age for marriage."
Navya Sharma
“I’m still too young"
Sikha Sharma
“You’re a girl of twenty-one, Navya.”
Sikha Sharma
Be grateful we are letting you finish your studies, and didn't marry you aa soon as you turned 18.
Before Navya could say anything, Vikram added without looking at her.
Vikram Sharma
She's right, Navya. Go now! I will talk about this in the evening.
There were no choices left.
No space to argue.
No one to stand beside her.
Later, while returning from college, she met Dipika—
Reena’s old friend, who once lived in their neighbourhood.
They had shifted away a year after Reena’s death.
Dipika Gupta
“How are you? It feels so good to see you after so long.”
Navya Sharma
Namaste aunty!
“I’m fine"
Navya Sharma
“How are you?”
Dipika Gupta
“I’m managing"
Dipika hesitated for a while, before speaking.
Dipika Gupta
I heard Sikha is looking for a groom for you.
Navya Sharma
Papa too thinks I should get married now...
Dipika Gupta
What about you? what do you think??
Navya Sharma
There's no way, I can deny them.
Navya Sharma
And maybe, things will get better after marrige
Dipika Gupta
If you ever feel things are not right, I'm always here for you.
ok
Dipika Gupta
Itne dino baad mili ho, chlo, mein tumhe Ridhi aur Piyush se milvati hu.
They both are at home.
Navya Sharma
Hmm... sorry aunty. But papa ne kaha tha kuch kaam hai. Hum kabhi aur mil lenge.
Dipika Gupta
Oh! koi Nahi.
Byee! Take care.
