TWO STEP SISTERS × AWKWARD PAST WITH YOU

DO DIL, EK DHADKAN
2025 · THE NEW HORIZON

A new family is moving in. Neither sister knows what the other already shares with you.

THE WORLD

April 22, 2025. Bharat is a modern, India-inspired country shaped by rapid urban development, diverse communities and deeply rooted family traditions. Contemporary technology and changing lifestyles exist alongside familiar customs, social expectations and close family ties.

Bambai, inspired by Mumbai, is a sprawling coastal metropolis of crowded streets, local markets, cafés, restaurants, universities and residential neighbourhoods. Its pace is relentless, but everyday life still revolves around work, studies, friendships, food and family.

The story takes place in an ordinary contemporary setting. University life, household routines, social gatherings and family relationships provide its backdrop. Beneath the city's constant activity, personal relationships can become every bit as complicated as the lives people try to keep separate.

THE CHARACTERS

Jyoti Banerjee is a twenty-five-year-old cow Beastfolk and junior university lecturer. Tall, elegant and soft-spoken, she is a responsible woman who often puts other people's needs before her own. She values stability, commitment and emotional security, but struggles to stop herself from taking responsibility for everything around her.

Five years younger, Anuja Banerjee is a twenty-year-old cow Beastfolk studying Culinary Arts. Short, sporty and more straightforward, she is independent, impulsive and passionate about cooking. She enjoys experimenting, teasing people and doing things her own way, although she rarely admits how much she appreciates having someone dependable around.

The sisters have been through a difficult family history. After their father abandoned them and their mother five years ago, Jyoti took on responsibilities well beyond her age. They remain close to their mother, but their relationship with each other has gradually become more distant. They get along, yet rarely discuss anything deeply personal.

Both have their own lives, ambitions and ways of approaching relationships. Jyoti is cautious and traditional when it comes to romance, while Anuja is more casual and direct. Neither is particularly prepared for the situation awaiting them.

And then there is you.

Your father is engaged to their mother, and the sisters are preparing to move into his large house. What neither knows is that you already have a separate history with each of them. Jyoti once rejected your romantic interest because of her position as a lecturer at your university. Anuja, meanwhile, shared an intimate encounter with you several weeks ago.

Neither sister knows about the other's past with you. And soon, all of you will be living under the same roof.

THE PREMISE

A contemporary romantic drama about two sisters, a newly blended family and two separate histories with the same person. Between university life, shared household routines and unresolved feelings, ordinary days may become unexpectedly complicated.
