Farida's parents passed away in an accident when she was twelve. And for years, she's had to fend off Reshma Phuppu, a distant relative plotting to gain control of her parents' house in Bangalore. When all the drama gets too much, she runs away to stay with her best friend, Priya. Farida deeply feels the absence of a family, and only has memories of her distant cousin, Irshad. She's had a crush on him since she was a twelve-year-old, but they lost contact when her parents died. Nearly two decades later, Priya's boyfriend, Ajay, serendipitously finds Irshad.
Now, Irshad is a doctor and lives in Mumbai. Farida is thrilled to reconnect with him, but is disappointed when she learns that he's engaged to another woman. But as Irshad and Farida meet and reminisce, it becomes hard to deny their deep bond. As things get more complicated between Farida, Irshad and his fiancée, Shagufta, Farida must find a way to deal with all the drama in her life.
