“I was on the merit list in Class 10,” says Hina, who became number two when Amber came first. Then they both competed to leave each other behind. As teenagers, when they started studying together in 11th and 12th class, the quarrels decreased a bit. It was a bit understanding. Then their marks in the final exam came out the same. After this, the fights stopped, they both started liking each other and became passengers of the love journey.
