Mumbai, Jan 9 (IANS) The trailer of the upcoming streaming series ‘Ek Farzi Love Story’ was unveiled on Thursday, and gives a peek into a  world where online love meets offline drama.
 

The trailer touches upon themes like content creation and influencers on social media while it explores the complexities of love, friendship, career & instant fame in the digital world.

The show follows the journey of Kritika, content creator and Manav, a social media-averse Chartered Accountant, two individuals who go on a rollercoaster of emotions during the course of their bond. Their lives take an unexpected turn when a viral video of their banter catapults them into internet stardom, forcing them into a faux relationship for their followers.

She starts as someone full of ambition but has to face the realities of her choices. Portraying her character has been an emotional rollercoaster, and I’m proud of how her character unfolds, especially as she navigates her relationship with Manav. I’m sure the audience will relate to her journey as she navigates the complexities of love, fame, and self-identity in this digital world”.
