Publisher's Synopsis
"Not all relationships are worth holding on to-sometimes, walking away is an act of self-respect." Phokatiya is a powerful, emotionally charged Hindi novel that explores the harsh reality of one-sided relationships and the personal awakening that follows betrayal.
At the heart of this story is Rajeev, a sincere and compassionate man who values loyalty and gives endlessly in the name of friendship. But his long-time friend Kamal-whom he once trusted implicitly-turns out to be someone who takes everything and offers nothing in return. What begins as a seemingly innocent bond slowly reveals itself as emotional exploitation.
Through a deeply relatable narrative, Phokatiya examines how toxic attachments can drain self-worth and how saying "no" can become the first step toward healing. As Rajeev steps away from old patterns and finds his voice, readers are invited to reflect on their own relationships and boundaries.
