Actors Manasi Joshi Roy and Rohit Roy, who have been married for 21 years (after having dated for seven), have never worked together. Although, it was on a set that they first met and fell in love—Manasi was an aspiring model and Roy was assistant to ad film producer Kunal Kapoor. His dream of earning an MBA degree in America was scrapped after he didn't get a visa. Later, both went on to work in several television serials and films; their professional paths curiously never converging.
But, the ongoing lockdown changed that.

In the last week of April, when Mumbai was well into the second phase of isolation, the couple, cooped up at their suburban home, was wondering what next. "While there was uncertainty around how things would pan out, we didn't want to be twiddling our thumbs," says Rohit. "As creative professionals, we needed an outlet for our energy." That's when the idea of a web show occurred to them. A discussion with creative agency Indian Storytellers, and Karma Productions, led to the making of Locked in Love. The series which will stream on Hungama Play and partner networks, is a collection of five short films that explore the various facets of love, with the couple playing multiple characters in each story.
