Hello! Thank you for giving so much love to Destined!❤️

We'll dive and cross the fourth wall today and get close and personal with the characters, where they'll be answering questions asked by you.

As for characters who aren't here anymore, we'll hope there is a secure connection in the afterlife.

Here we go!

NEIL KHANNA

👤 Why are you so weird sometimes?

➖ Whoa! Am I? *chuckles* Well, I think I always try to stay true to myself and if something that I do is or comes off as seemingly weird, just know that it's just who I am. Isn't that what you guys like about me? *smirks with a huff of satisfaction* Being weird is good. It gives you a sense of reality. However, in my profession, I can't help but suspect if someone is what you claim me to be. *smiles*

👤 You love most your duty or Avni?

➖ Avni. Without any second doubt, I can say that I love Avni the most. As time goes by, this feeling intensifies. My duty is my responsibility, I took an oath and I strive to fulfill it every day. But Avni, I choose to love her every day, and every fuc- *clears throat* moment of my life. As long as I live and can, I will serve people. But she makes me feel alive, to be better, for her and for everyone else. To myself. She is a greater sense of relief I feel each time my heart beats. It's crazy because...I don't even know how deep these feelings go through and delicately weave over my heart. It's crazy because I don't know how much more, how many emotions that I can feel because of her. I think I won't have an answer anytime soon. *chuckles softly*

👤 Suppose if Aditi comes back, whom would you choose?

➖ *A moment of silence* T-That caught me off-guard.  *smiles ruefully* Her coming back wouldn't be possible, I know. But if given a choice, I would choose both of them. *sighs* I don't think I would be able to choose one. I won't be able to forgive myself then. There is no comparison for my love for them. Because my love for Aditi is very different from how I love Avni. If Aditi was here, maybe she would understand it, like she always did. Grief is cruel and I'm living with it. Avni is living with it. And I believe if Aditi knew Avni, they would get along well. There are so many what-ifs in life but you don't always get the best of both worlds. I have accepted what has happened. I hope my answer didn't disappoint. I can't sugarcoat it.

AVNI RAICHAND

👤 When will your past come out?

➖ It has, hasn't it? The tabloids are talking about it. It is everywhere. I am everywhere. But I have made my peace with it. I am trying not to let it get to me when all I ever wanted was to run away from it. But I don't think I can anymore *hums* It came back to stab me in the leg. Literally. *huffs*

👤 Why are you such a mystery? I used to feel at the start of a story.

➖ I, simply, am an aloof looking person. People have said that a lot. People who don't know me personally. But those who know me know I'm not a mystery. *laughs* Actually, why don't you ask Neil? He told me once that I seem like I could be the mastermind of a heist. I think I could be, but in a movie.

LOVELY SINGH

👤 Why have you disappeared these days? [ Aaj kal aap jyada dikhayi nahi de rahe kyu ]

➖I think you must be happy that I have. *grits his teeth* If I could come back, I would've made sure Neil Khanna would be out of my way. / Buzzz...buzzz.../ And Avni... she /buzz.../ [ Sorry, the connection has been cut off.]

SHWETA KHANNA

👤 Are you accepting Avni whole heartedly as your daughter/ daughter in law?

➖Hmm... Should I? *smug look* It depends how far Neil is willing to go to convince me. Do you know how notorious he was when he was a kid? I ran around in circles all the time trying to make him even eat, get dressed and the list goes on. He should know now, two can play a game. *winks*

THANKING NOTE

We got a bunch of comments on the last chapter and epilogue,

and though I can't include all, I'll share some of them which sent me over the moon!

💌 I'm really sad that this journey ended, but I thoroughly enjoyed reading every bit of it, it was so beautifully written and presented that I could experience all the emotions the author was trying to portray. Gonna miss them, so I'm looking to more of your works :) dreamy_bubbles

💛 Nothing makes me happier than knowing my readers could experience emotions through my stories. It's not necessarily a hard thing, but as a reader myself, I love works that get me all in the feels. And please look forward to my upcoming stories, I'm gonna post a BTS fanfic this year (though, I'm not sure if that's something you guys are interested in) but anyway, thank you!

💌 Awesome story... it's been a long journey... at some point of time I thought you wouldn't complete it or you wouldn't give an abrupt ending... which would have destroyed the complete pace of the story. I am happy that finally you completed it in the same way you started it, it was a slow journey but I enjoyed it a lot. Initially I started off for the love towards avneil... but somewhere around the middle I really fell in love with your Avni Raichand and ACP Neil. dafodilsduke

💛 Well, it was really a slow journey lol, it took me 2.5 years :') It had been my first story so I was still learning, improving as I was writing. But I'm more confident about my writing now so, most times, it comes easily to me. // Previously, when Destined was still ongoing (around the time when they had a date on marine drive), I was contemplating a lot, I was confused on the flow of the story, but I knew that I was going to complete it one day, even if it took time, I wanted to give justice to the plot. I'm satisfied as well now. // Giving the Raichand surname was a creative decision, because this story is based on avneil - the plot for Neil and his family, his profession is the same, so Neil Khanna was perfect. But Avni here was an actress, she had a different childhood, her personality is a bit different too. Plus, her mother Krisha (who is Neela) had this name for the same reason; Raichand is her mother's surname. Jay Vyas, her father was a good man but his choices led them here. That's why Avni uses her mother's surname and has broken off every linkage from her father. So, thank you, they're precious to me too.

💌 This book is pure joy. Can't believe it has ended. Missing it already... Your writing is magical... Avni Raichand will always be my best in my wattpad memories. live_for_purpose

💛 God, as I said above, this makes me so happy. Avni Raichand is special to me. So, I'm glad you guys feel the same way. Thank you, I never thought of my writing as magical, but it means a lot. I would remember this compliment for a lifetime <3

💌 So beautiful it is. Will be missing this very badly... This avneil story is going to be remembered forever. Amazingly beautiful!!!!! tanav123

💛 Aw, I think I'm going to miss them a lot too. I was a die-hard fan for 3+ years; I spent a lot of time on them. I shipped Adiza too (till 2019 maybe) haha so this was my goodbye to them and my teenage love zain (more so neil because I would've never fell for him if he didn't play that character) and yes, a lot years later, if i look back, I'll remember two people who made me immensely happy. Along with you guys, who were in the same boat as me.
