There I was, minding my own business, scrolling through my usual stuff when Prime Video India's trailer dropped like a glitter bomb on my feed. Now, I’m not usually the type to binge Indian series. Sure, they’ve got their charm, but I’m more of a “Watch British people drink tea and solve murders” kind of person.
But this trailer? This one had me laughing out loud in the middle of a very quiet restaurant, earning some very judgy looks from strangers. The trailer introduces us to Bella “Bae” Chowdhary, played by the ever-fashionable Ananya Panday, living the dream in New Delhi. And by dream, I mean “seven luxury cars, a chopper, and a fairytale wedding” kind of dream.
She’s got it all: the riches, the looks, the designer labels that I can’t even pronounce. But just as we’re all basking in the glow of her seemingly perfect life, the universe decides to dropkick her into reality. Suddenly, Bae is disowned by her family (the audacity) and tossed into the chaotic, and let’s face it, less glamorous streets of Mumbai.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Bae is no longer the pampered princess but a girl trying to figure out how to survive without her safety net of silk cushions and Swiss watches. She interviews for a job as a journalist—because why not go from riches to writer’s block? Along the way, she starts forming unexpected friendships and alliances, because nothing screams character development like being forced to make actual friends.
