An insightful journey of moral self-interrogation, examining the essence of duty, loyalty, romance and betrayal

Sara is in love… the kind of love that explodes in one’s head in a million different colors, the kind that puts a spring in one’s step and a smile on the face for no particular reason at all. Love that makes one glow from within and plays a special tune in one’s head in a continuous loop. However, there’s a problem, the recipient of this love is not her husband Rahul but her daughter’s class teacher Samar.

Why as a society are we set up in a way where we think it is wrong to share our love with more than one person at a time? She asks herself as she spends countless nights lying awake fretting.

Set against India’s vibrant and diverse backdrop where traditional values and modern-day changes have learnt to coexist, join Sara as she embarks on a journey of self-discovery. She experiences love, loss, and heartbreak, provoking a stormy journey of moral self-interrogation, examining the essence of duty, loyalty, romance and betrayal all before reaching her happily ever after. But it just might not be the ending she was hoping for….

"The Third Party has brought back fantastic memories of India, one of my favorite countries, in all its aspects.
