We are taught that love is an event. You meet, you fall, you commit. But Is pyar ko speaks of a love that is already present. It is the love you feel for someone you aren't "officially" with. It is the love that lives in the space between a text message sent and a reply received. It is the love you hide from your family but shout to the stars at 2 AM.
