Ishqa Ishqa

Kabir Bharadwaj, a celebrated writer, knows his childhood friend and ex-girlfriend Arohi can go to any length to reclaim what is hers. Their love was built on a game of dares. A year later, as their dare to stay away comes to an end, Kabir has moved on with Suhani while Arohi hasn't. She is coming back, ready to reclaim the love she never let go of.

Kabir is struggling to write his second book without Arohi, who has always been his biggest inspiration. Meanwhile, the debt incurred from his younger brother Abir's childhood lake injury puts even more pressure on him to finish the book. Meanwhile, Arohi remains in Panchmarhi and seems to be preparing for something sinister.

We revisit the dares that shaped Kabir and Arohi's relationship, from Arohi's childhood dare to stop Kabir from leaving for boarding school to Kabir, years later, daring her to love him forever. Meanwhile, Suhani celebrates Kabir's pre-birthday, unaware that someone is watching them, as Arohi prepares to return for his birthday.

In the past, cracks begin to show in Kabir and Arohi's relationship when Paakhi, Kabir's college friend, gets too close to him and becomes the target of Arohi's obsession. In the present, Bhawani finds himself deep in debt, and Kabir promises to find a way to repay it. Meanwhile, on Kabir's birthday, Arohi is determined to find her way back home at any cost.

Kabir tells Suhani about the ultimate dare he gave Arohi a year ago, in desperation, asking her to stay away from him for a year, after she intentionally harmed Paakhi. In the present, Kabir wants to spend the night with Suhani, but things don't go as he hoped after an unexpected interruption. Could Arohi be behind it?

Kabir grows paranoid that Arohi is back to cause harm, but the police dismiss his fears. Sharp at midnight on Kabir's birthday, Arohi arrives by ambulance, bandaged but smiling, to wish him first, just as she has every year. The next morning, she arrives at Suhani's door with a potted plant and a smile. What is she planning?

Kabir dares Arohi to leave Suhani unharmed, with no loopholes. Arohi counters with a dare of her own: Kabir must end his relationship with Suhani within ten days. On day one, Arohi already begins to turn his life upside down, costing him dinner with Suhani's family and proving through a blindfolded game that Kabir's heart still searches for her.

Kabir finally spends time with Suhani and her parents, showing her how much he loves her. The pressure of the loan forces Kabir to confront Yadav, taking matters into his own hands. When Arohi learns of the loan from Abir, she visits Yadav with ancestral jewellery and a vial of poison. What is she planning?

Arohi goes to Yadav to buy the Bharadwajs more time, but secretly poisons him, landing him in the hospital. Furious, Kabir confronts Arohi and asks her to stay away. After signing a three-book deal, he proposes to Suhani. Arohi learns of the proposal, just as Yadav returns, more dangerous than ever and bent on revenge.

Arohi rescues Kabir from Yadav, but Bhawani blames her for putting him in danger. When a car speeds towards Suhani, Kabir suspects Arohi and confronts her. As he warns her to stay away, Arohi collapses from poisoning. Mistaking it for another game, Kabir leaves. Rescued by Dayaal, Arohi discovers someone used her own poison against her and vows to find them.

Arohi tightens security after someone poisons her. Cracks emerge in Suhani's seemingly perfect family, raising questions about how normal they really are. Abir falls ill, bringing Arohi back into Kabir's life. Yadav is released on bail, looming as a threat to Arohi. Meanwhile, a ghost from Suhani's past returns to haunt her.

Suhani and her parents visit the Bharadwaj house for wedding discussions, but their slip-ups about Suhani's past catch Arohi's attention. She begins digging into Suhani's identity and follows her, only to see her meet a mysterious man. Meanwhile, Abir makes a new friend at the park, unaware he has been sent by Yadav as part of his revenge plan.

Arohi warns Kabir that Suhani's past holds secrets, but he refuses to believe her. Binoy meets Suhani and Kabir, posing as her colleague. Meanwhile, Vicky introduces Abir to a gun as part of Yadav's revenge plan. Unaware of Yadav's plan, Arohi arranges money to reclaim her mother's jewellery. With only three days left, she vows to uncover Suhani's truth.

Suhani's facade cracks when Binoy confronts her as Sumati, threatening to expose her past. Malini lets Abir go out with Vicky without Bhawani's permission, only for him to return with a secret gun. Meanwhile, Arohi tricks Suhani into revealing a mysterious photograph and dares Kabir to uncover the man's identity, leading him to Mohandas Purohit from Banaras.

Following Arohi's dare, Kabir travels to Banaras with her to uncover Mohandas Purohit's truth. With Binoy's help, Suhani tries to mislead them, but Arohi leads Kabir to Suhani's mother, Nirmala, who reveals her past and the shame that led to her father's death. Kabir is shaken by the truth.

In the past, Sumati and Binoy run a honey-trapping scam, but one case goes wrong and they are arrested. Arohi takes Kabir to the Banaras police station to expose Suhani's truth, but he refuses to believe she is a criminal. Through a text message, Suhani confesses her past to Kabir. Before Kabir can react, he learns Abir is in jail, unknowingly caught in Yadav's plan.

Kabir and Arohi rush to save Abir from jail and realize Yadav used Vicky to trap him. Meanwhile, Suhani sends Kavita and Bansal away, but Binoy questions her true motive. Arohi goes to confront Yadav, while Binoy attacks Dayaal and steals the money, leaving Arohi to find him critically wounded.

Arohi risks her life to save Yadav's Rooplata and secures Abir's release. Kabir thanks her and takes responsibility for the childhood lake incident everyone blamed on her. Later, Dayaal reveals Binoy stole the money, making Arohi suspect Suhani. Kabir is conflicted, while Suhani meets Binoy and asks about the money.

Suhani warns Kabir that Binoy will attack Dayaal and returns with the stolen money, clearing Kabir's doubts. When Kabir chooses Suhani at the end of the ten-day dare, Arohi vows to make her pay. She kidnaps Suhani and traps her in a room swarming with wasps, as their mysterious past connection is revealed.

Arohi reveals she saved Suhani from suicide and brought her into Kabir's life, setting the entire game in motion. Suhani survives the wasp trap and warns Arohi that she will expose her truth to Kabir if she interferes. Kabir gets a book deal in Mumbai and uses it to take Suhani and his family away from Arohi, leaving her heartbroken.
