Abhay
Gulati
and
Aaliya
Khan
have
known
each
other
since
they
were
four
years
old.
Their
friendship
turned
into
love
at
the
tender
age
of
15,
when
Abhay
realises
Aaliya
is
the
girl
for
him.
In
Break
Ke
Baad,
Aaliya's
life
is
defined
by
her
burning
desire
to
become
an
actress
and
she
is
unmindful
of
what
or
who
comes
in
her
way.
Abhay,
who
is
still
unsure
about
what
he
wants
to
do,
finds
himself
competing
with
Aaliya's
incessant
plans
and
projects
to
fulfill
her
dreams.
While
their
relationship
blooms
because
of
their
personality
differences,
the
baggage
because
of
these
differences
also
grows
silently.
Things
come
to
a
standstill
when
Aaliya
decides
to
go
to
Australia
to
study
and
Abhay
has
to
deal
with
the
prospect
of
a
long-distance
relationship,
secretly
fearing
that
he
would
lose
Aaliya
forever.
He
takes
a
leap
of
faith
and
they
decide
to
take
this
time
off
from
each
other
to
figure
out
what
they
want
to
do.
The
choices
Abhay
and
Aaliya
make
from
here
on
tests
their
relationship.
Aaliya
risks
everything
and
everyone
she
loves
to
realize
that
there
is
no
joy
in
achieving
one's
dreams
if
one
has
no
one
to
share
it
with.
Abhay
risks
losing
every
shred
of
his
ego,
dignity
and
self-respect
to
realize
that
there
is
no
bigger
high
than
seeing
your
dream
come
to
life,
brick
by
brick.
They
make
mistakes,
deal
with
disappointments,
even
lose
each
other
-
and
become
stronger
individually.
Break
Ke
Baad
is
not
just
a
'coming
of
age'
film,
but
a
film
about
couples
growing
up
-
together.
In
a
fickle
world
where
relationships
break
up
on
the
smallest
of
differences,
Abhay
and
Aaliya
manage
to
save
theirs
despite
geographical
constraint.
