Plot Summary

Season 1

The core of the show lies in highlighting the importance of friendship along with other relationships, be it romance, friendship, or familial relations. There lies an underlying mystery to the plot which binds the parallel story lines together. The show has gained immense popularity, in particular Manik and Nandini's love story, collectively known as Manan on social networking sites and has been considered a rage among the young audience.

The story starts with Nandini Murthy (Niti Taylor) at her hometown, Manglalore, ready to move in with her Chacha and Chachi in Mumbai, in order to help treatment of her younger brother, Rishabh and for her to study in reputed colleges in Mumbai. She believes her fireflies only light up when there is true love. She accidentally interacts with Manik Malhotra (Parth Samthaan), and unknown to Manik, he saves her jar filled with her fireflies and they light up when they both touch the jar at the same time. It is then believed that there is true love between Manik and Nandini, and the audience are excited to see how their love story unfolds.

Nandini Murthy (Niti Taylor) and her friend Navya Naveli (Veebha Anand) team up to save a boy at S.P.A.C.E from committing suicide. This leads them to become the targets of the academy's most famous band "Fab5", a group of rich spoiled kids - Manik Malhotra, the leader (Parth Samthaan), Cabir (Ayaz Ahmed), Mukti (Charlie Chauhan), Dhruv (Utkarsh Gupta) and Alya (Krissann Barretto). In order to protect the school's reputation, the Academy offers Nandini and Navya full scholarship. Nandini becomes the main target for Manik, with their story starts as Monster Manik and Spot/Professor Nandu. Eventually, they become attracted to each other and Manik realises that no one affects him the way Nandini does. Which is why he is always drawn to her. Initially he fights the attraction but eventually gives in. Meanwhile, Nandini mistook the racing of her heart for hatred for the Monster Manik. She then realises that this Manik is not a monster after all, rather a "Hero" that has surrounded himself with darkness and becomes aware of her attraction towards him. This leads to Manik and Nandini falling for each other and changes the equation for the rest of FAB 5 lives. While realising that they love each other, Manik breaks up with his girlfried Alya (as a result of mistrust) and Dhruv falls for Nandhini. After Manik and Nandini confess their feelings, Manik finds out of Dhruv's feelings. He decides to sacrifice his love for his best buddy, by humiliating Nandini and telling her it was all just a game for him. As the hate between the two increases, Nandini's best friend Navya is in trouble as she falls for 'the wrong and playboy'. On the night where Cabir's secret of being gay is publically announced, he is beaten and his love is separated from him, Navya is Harshad's medicine. As Nandini realises the danger Navya is in, she teams up with Fab5 to save her friend and take revenge for Cabir. As a celebration that night, they play games which allows Manik to confirm that Dhruv has moved on from Nandini and Alya to confirm her feelings for Dhruv.The love triangle soon comes to an end as Alya and Dhruv get closer. While Nandini is unwilling to forgive Manik. Cabir and Navya, both heartbroken, share a flat and become good friends. When Soha Khurana (Daughter of Q Label owner) enters as the obsessed fan of Manik, this causes Nandini to become close to manik again. They decide to be friends and get to know one another. Upon this Soha attempts on killing Nandini in a fire but she is saved by her hero. However, when Nandini finds out that Soha has died, and that to perhaps because of Manik, she remains silent in court, shocked Manik stops talking to her. Although it is proved that Manik is innocent, and despite Nandini's efforts to get back with him, he makes her suffer. She the sets a challenge for the two of hope vs hate. Meanwhile, Mukti falls for Abhimanyu (who has cancer), he teaches her to smile at all times and be happy. After his departure, she suffers greatly but her friends support her. On the other hand, Dhruv and Alya's relationship crumble as a result of Dhruv's inferiority complex. This leads to Dhruv leaving Fab 5. Through the Fusion concert, Manan is reunited and so is Fab 5. However Manan's reunion does not last long as Pandit (Nandini's teacher) kidnaps her. Although she is saved, she suffers from great shock, but Manik goes to all ends to help her. Meanwhile, Aryaman enters the scene (brother or Soha and friend of Harshad). His initial motive is to seek revenge for his sisters death believing it is all Manik's fault. While others only suspect him, Nandini finds out the truth and asks for a chance to prove him innocent. On the other hand, Alya, begins to suffer from eating disorder and depression as a result of her break ups and loneliness. On friendship's day, she announces that she wants to leave Fab 5 and begin a fresh, this angers Dhruv who also leaves Fab 5 claiming that Manik is their over shadower. While the two claim that Manik has always been absent from their lives, Mukti and Cabir take the initiative of getting Fab 5 back together. On their Last performance, Manik sings on his own, but the ties which held them together pull them closer. On the other hand, Aryaman's misunderstanding is cleared and he apologises to Fab 5 and NavNi. They join together for a party, where the last comers are Manik, Cabir and Nandini. While Nandini waits at home for Manik to pick her up and the rest of Fab 5 wait for them to arrive at the party venue, Manik and Cabir face a car blast (plotted by Nyonika, Manik's mother).
