About Hani and Ishu's Guide to Fake Dating
When Hani blurts out that she is dating Ishu to prove her bisexuality is not just a phase, Ishu sees a chance to become more popular and boost her Head Girl ambitions. Their carefully negotiated fake-dating rules help them navigate school pressure, family expectations and the dangerous possibility of falling for each other.
