Aarav Gurung lives alone in the heart of Kathmandu, hiding his pain behind a gentle smile. With a father drowning in addiction and a mother who sacrifices everything for their future, Aarav carries the weight of expectations and silent heartbreak. Suhana Gurung, calm on the outside but storming within, is a girl from a broken family who seems to have everything—except peace. When their lives cross paths, both are forced to face the pain they’ve buried deep. “When You Looked at Me” is a quiet, emotional story of connection, healing, and the unspoken battles we all fight. Can two broken people find something whole together?
