Second Serve: Love & Life on the Line
Aparna Aggarwal
Abhimanyu Walia, India’s first tennis Grand Slam champion is at a crossroads in his life. Not only has his wife Ragini walked out on him. He is also staring at a potentially career-ending knee surgery. Lost and bereft, he is beginning to realise that he needs both back in his life – Ragini and tennis. And he can’t have one without the other.
Ragini Malhotra is in a dilemma about whether to stay away from the media hype and drama surrounding the career threatening knee surgery for her estranged husband and global tennis superstar Abhimanyu Walia. Or should she be by his bedside, for the sake of their friendship? Having walked out on her marriage and her career as his manager one year back, she has just started rebuilding her life sans Abhimanyu when this turmoil has her on tenterhooks.
Second Serve weaves back and forth between the past —sixteen years back when Ragini and Abhimanyu first met - and the present. When Abhimanyu starts out with a fault, he must work his way through the tangled knots of his marriage and tennis career in his Second Serve.
