Inspiration -- Kal Ho Naa Ho Plot
Book masterlist
Naina Catherine Kapur is a pessimistic, uptight MBA student who lives in New York City with her widowed mother Jennifer, disabled brother Shiv, adopted sister Jia and paternal grandmother Lajjo. Jennifer runs an unsuccessful café with her neighbour, Jaswinder "Jazz" Kapoor. Lajjo is hostile to Jennifer and Jia as she believes that Jia's adoption led her son (Jennifer's husband and Naina's father) to commit suicide.
Naina has two best friends: her classmate, Rohit Patel, and Jaspreet "Sweetu" Kapoor, Jazz's sister. Her life is dull and overshadowed by the loss of her father until Aman Mathur and his mother move in next door with his uncle, Pritam Chaddha. Aman's cheerfulness gradually wins over Naina's family, and he slowly starts to solve their problems. He suggests that they change the café to an Indian restaurant and its success alleviates their financial burdens. Aman encourages Naina to be happy and to live life to the fullest; she ends up falling in love with him.
Rohit also falls in love with Naina and asks Aman's help in expressing his feelings. Naina tells Rohit there is something she must say to him, leading him to think that she reciprocates his feelings. Naina reveals she is in love with Aman instead. Shaken, Rohit calls Aman to tell him what has happened. Naina goes to Aman's house and is shocked to see a wedding photograph of Aman and his wife, Priya. Heartbroken, she leaves.
Aman's mother confronts him about what has happened. He says he loves Naina but has decided to hide it because he is dying from a heart condition. He is not actually married. Priya is his childhood friend and doctor. Aman vows to bring Naina and Rohit together before he dies. He believes that Rohit will be able to provide for her better than he can. He hatches a plan to transform Naina and Rohit's bond, and gradually their friendship blossoms into love. Naina discovers his plan and chides Aman for trying to ruin her friendship with Rohit. Aman takes out Rohit's diary and confesses his feelings for Naina, saying they are Rohit's. Naina forgives Aman and Rohit.
Rohit proposes to Naina, and she accepts. Lajjo and Jennifer have a serious fight regarding Jia, who calls on Aman for help. Aman had previously discovered the truth about Jia's parents and despite Jennifer's objections, he reveals to Lajjo that her son had an extramarital affair and fathered Jia. When Jia's biological mother refused to accept her, Jennifer adopted her. Unable to deal with the guilt, Jennifer's husband committed suicide. An emotional Lajjo realises her mistakes and reconciles with Jennifer and Jia. Naina gains closure after learning the truth about her father's death.
During Naina and Rohit's engagement, Aman has a heart attack. Only his mother knows he has been admitted to the hospital. Naina encounters Priya at a jewellery store, whom she recognises as Aman's wife. She introduces herself and her husband, Abhay, who reveals the truth about Aman. Shocked, Naina realises that Aman has sacrificed his love for her and leaves the mall in an emotional frenzy. Priya calls up Aman and informs him about what happened. Aman leaves the hospital and meets a frustrated Rohit, who asks why he and not Aman should marry Naina. Aman urges Rohit to marry Naina as a sign of respect for his dying wish to see Naina happy. Aman meets Naina, and they embrace while he tries to persuade her that he does not love her. Rohit and Naina's wedding, which Aman attends, takes place soon afterwards.
Sometime after the wedding, Aman is on his deathbed and says goodbye to everyone. He is left alone with Rohit after Naina leaves the room in tears. Aman makes him promise that, although Naina is with Rohit in this lifetime, he will get her in the next.
Twenty years later, a middle-aged Naina tells a grown-up Jia how Aman affected every aspect of their lives. They are joined by her daughter Riya and Rohit, who tells Naina that he loves her as they embrace.

Play 5 : Kaand
Delhi, the National Capital, records one out of four crimes in the country. Abductions, rapes and robberies are rampant. It is a well-known fact that nights in Delhi are not safe. Kaand follows two policemen through a series of these very nights, as they combat the monsters that roam the streets while battling the more dangerous demons within.
Playwright and actor Adhir Bhat, who has completed a decade in theatre, has worked on over 50 plays so far — his recent work includes the adaptation of Twinkle Khanna’s short story, Salaam Noni Appa, directed by Lillete Dubey. “However, I stopped counting after my 35th play. We keep staging them all the time,” says the 37-year-old, seated in the foyer of Juhu’s Prithvi Theatre.
An hour before Akarsh Khurana directed Kaand — the story revolves around the arduous lives of two Delhi police officers on night duty — Bhat says the play is a departure from his previous work. His plays usually provide a humorous take on life. What’s consistent is that the language is contemporary and the characters, believable. “The voice is something that the youth will identify with. We want people of the younger generation to come to theatre and not make them feel alienated because the perception is that theatre is only what’s written in classics,” he says.

Aug 22, 2022 15:49 IST
New Delhi , August 22 (AF): Anil Kapoor's daughter Rhea Kapoor, on Monday, dropped the first glimpse of Sonam Kapoor and Anand Ahuja's newborn baby.
Taking to Instagram, Rhea shared a string of pictures which she captioned, "Rhea masi is not ok. The cuteness is too much. The moment is unreal. I love you @sonamkapoor the bravest mommy and @anandahuja the most loving dad. Special mention new nani @kapoor.sunita #mynephew #everydayphenomenal."
In the first picture, Rhea and Sunita Kapoor could be seen looking at their new family member whose face is been hidden with a baby emoticon.
In another picture, the mother-daughter duo can be seen overwhelmed as they take a look at the youngest member of the Kapoor family.
In the last picture, the baby's face is covered with a blue butterfly emoticon, as he could be seen covered in purple cloth.
Soon after the 'Veere Di Wedding' producer shared the pictures, fans flooded the comment section with red heart emoticons and congratulatory messages.
Actor Bhumi Pednekar commented, " Tooooooooo cute"
"Awwww masi tears of joy," Malaika Arora commented.
Apart from them, actors Shanaya Kapoor and Khushi Kapoor also dropped red hearts in the comment section.
Sonam Kapoor and Anand Ahuja, on August 20, welcomed their first child a baby boy.
The proud parents announced the news through a cute message template that read, "On 20.08.2022, we welcomed our beautiful baby boy with bowed heads and open hearts. Thank you to all of the doctors, nurses, friends and family who have supported us on this journey. It's only the beginning, but we know our lives are forever changed - Sonam and Anand"
Sonam and her husband Anand Ahuja tied the knot on May 8, 2018, in a traditional Anand Karaj ceremony. In March 2022, the couple announced that they are expecting their first child together.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Sonam will be next seen in the upcoming film 'Blind' directed by Shome Makhija, starring Purab Kohli, Vinay Pathak and Lillete Dubey in prominent roles. The film is expected to release later this year. (AF)
