Forbidden Fruit - Some Connections Don’t Come With Labels

Author : Pankaj Kumar

Forbidden Fruit is a slice-of-life romantic dramedy set in the bustling corporate heart of Gurgaon—where thousands chase deadlines, promotions… and secretly, someone’s attention.

When love arrives without permission, it tests more than just emotions. The book captures the chaos, humour, and melancholy of young adulthood—balancing friendship, work, attraction, and identity.

In one office bus, one office building, one neighbourhood—there are different timelines of life running at once. How people slowly, awkwardly, beautifully grow into relationships… even when they don’t have the vocabulary for it. It’s a coming-of-age emotional psychology novel disguised as a romance.

Forbidden Fruit is for anyone who has cared too much, waited too long, or loved someone they could never truly call theirs.

A tender, naive, real journey of first love, forbidden boundaries, and the courage to bloom again.
