Renowned author Andaleeb Wajid’s captivating “Jasmine Villa” series kicks off with the enthralling tale of “One Way to Love.” Set in the humble abode of Jasmine Villa, the story revolves around twenty-three-year-old Tehzeeb Hasan and her quest for love amidst societal expectations and personal dilemmas. With her father Yusuf and two younger sisters Ana and Athiya by her side, Tehzeeb navigates the complexities of life after her mother’s tragic demise due to cancer.
Unexpectedly, Tehzeeb’s world takes an intriguing turn when her father’s college friend, the affluent Bakhtiyar Ahmed, proposes an alliance between Tehzeeb and his son Ayub. Curiosity ensues within the family as they ponder the mysterious intentions behind the proposal. Apprehensions arise, including doubts about Ayub’s character or potential hidden agendas aimed at societal conformity.
In an attempt to unravel the enigma, Tehzeeb agrees to meet Ayub at a coffee shop. However, a comedy of errors ensues, leading Ayub to assume Tehzeeb’s purpose as a job interview for the role of his personal assistant. Meanwhile, Tehzeeb’s interest lies in uncovering Ayub’s sexual orientation. Sparks fly between them, and Ayub finds himself captivated by Tehzeeb’s beauty, leading to a blossoming romance.
Months later, Tehzeeb and Ayub’s marriage takes place. Although Tehzeeb garners admiration from her father-in-law, Aafreen, her relationship with her mother-in-law is far from harmonious. Amidst the demands of a lavish lifestyle and vapid parties, Tehzeeb is torn between her desire to work and her obligation to portray the demure bride to please her mother-in-law. Despite Tehzeeb and Ayub’s passionate connection, various events strain their marital bliss, challenging the strength of their union. Will their marriage find its way back to happiness?
In the second installment of the series, “Loving You Twice,” the spotlight shifts to Tehzeeb’s reserved and astute younger sister, Ana. Ana finds herself falling for Luqman Ahmed, the best friend of her brother-in-law, Ayub. However, miscommunication and missed opportunities hinder their love story. Obliging her father’s arranged marriage plans, Ana reluctantly agrees to marry Farhaan Ahmed, Luqman’s elder brother. The revelation sends shockwaves through Ana’s world, leaving her questioning whether she can spend her life as Luqman’s sister-in-law.
Upon learning about Ana’s impending marriage to his brother, Luqman abruptly returns to India but is met with an unfortunate accident, resulting in memory loss. Can Luqman marry Ana with the help of Farhaan? Will fate allow these star-crossed lovers to triumph against all odds?
Concluding the “Jasmine Villa” series is “Three Times Lucky,” which centers around the youngest sister, Athiya. Known for her spirited and carefree nature, Athiya believes marriage is not for her. When Farhaan Ahmed, the man intended for her sister Ana, offers her a job in his real estate company, Athiya eagerly accepts. However, an ill-fated modeling assignment tarnishes her reputation within the community. Coming to her rescue, Farhaan gallantly steps in to save Athiya’s image by marrying her.
