Summary

Aakash, fresh into the business world, was buried in pitches, proposals, and learning how not to burn toast. Marriage was the last thing on his mind. Palki, on the other hand, had grown up on fairy tales. She believed in love, but only the kind that made her heart skip a beat - not the kind arranged over tea and awkward meetings. Palki and Aakash have been best friends forever. They know each other better than anyone else—every silly habit, every big dream. Love? No way. They’ve always been just friends. But now, life is getting complicated. Palki’s parents are sending her to see one guy after another for marriage. Aakash’s business partners think he needs to look “settled” to win big deals. Both of them are tired of the pressure and not ready to give up on their dreams. So, they come up with a plan—pretend to date each other. Just for a while. Just to keep everyone off their backs. It’s supposed to be easy. Fake dates, a few photos, some sweet words in front of family and friends. Nothing real. But soon, things start to feel… different. Their fake smiles turn into real laughter. Holding hands doesn’t feel so awkward anymore. And before they know it, this fake relationship might just be the real thing. Family drama, sweet moments, and a lot of heart—Practically Perfect is a story about friendship, love, and finding something real when you least expect it.

Palki Patel

“What if he kisses me? Oh God, this is going to be my first kiss… I don’t even know what to do! Please help me!”

And just when he was about to kiss me—

Jai Hanuman Gyan Gun Sagar |

Jai Kapis Tihun Lok Ujagar ||

The voice of the morning prayer pierced my dream, and I woke up with a jolt.

“WHY?! God, why?? Every time a hot guy is about to kiss me in my dream, you show up with your bhajan entry!”

“Do you want me to stay a brahmachari like you? At least let me experience one kiss—even if it’s just in a dream!”

While I was busy arguing with God in my head, I heard my mom yelling

“Palki! Jaldi uthja, it’s 8 o’clock!”

Hey guys, I’m Palki Patel, the only daughter of Alok Patel and Snehal Patel, and yes, this is my regular morning routine.

Almost every day I dream of some hot, handsome guy doing not-so-sanskaari things with me—but before the fun begins, my mom and dad’s devotional Hanuman Chalisa ruins it all.

And guess what? These same people now want me to get married.

They don’t have a problem with love marriage—as long as the guy belongs to our caste. Everything else is flexible.

NEVERMIND!!!!


Author’s POV

Half an hour later, Palki was having breakfast with her parents when her father, Alok, said,

“Palki, I’ve sent your biodata on WhatsApp. Check out the boys and talk to the ones you like.”

Palki nearly choked on her food. But she was used to this. It was a routine now—her parents sent her biodata to random boys every day, and she rejected each one with the same excuse:

“I need to settle down more in life.”

She simply nodded, gave them a polite smile, and left for work.

“Bye, Mom! Bye, Dad!”


About Palki?

She’s not your average girl-next-door. She has an MBA from IIM Ahmedabad and works at a well-reputed multinational company. Smart, confident, sarcastic, and just a little desperate for a dream-kiss that doesn’t get interrupted by bhajans.
