ALTBalaji is back with the third season of Broken But Beautiful, and this time we have new leads in the form of Sidharth Shukla (Agastya), the current Internet's favorite, and Sonia Rathee (Rumi).

Teaser
The heartbroken lovers ponder upon the real meaning of it
The clip opens with Shukla and Rathee drinking and smoking their sorrows away, much like what we have seen in Kabir Singh. It gets established immediately that the characters are heartbroken, as they ponder upon the real meaning of love. Agastya says, "Love is a glamorized four-letter word for self-inflicted pain," while Rumi realizes, "what you may want may not be what you need."
Twitter Post
