"You could have just texted 'ok.'"

Zara: "No. It says I believe in dancing in the rain. You believe in checking the radar first."

The show's finale is shot live. The last scene requires Aarav's character to run through the rain and confess his love. But as the cameras roll, Aarav freezes.

Their director, frustrated by their lack of on-screen chemistry, orders them to "method date" – not romantically, but digitally. They must text each other as their characters for two weeks.

Aarav, annoyed but intrigued, replies after 58 minutes: "It says one of us is logical. Storms are just weather."

Aarav and Zara are cast opposite each other in a high-budget web series, "Ishq Ka Protocol" – a story about two people who fall in love through a mistaken WhatsApp forward.

"You're staring at me again."

"See? I turned you into a believer."
