Plot
editAbhi and Anu lead diametrically different lives, worlds apart from each other. Abhi is the quintessential boy next door, with a regular job and a lifestyle that borders on the mundane. He is very close to and dependent on his mother. On the other hand, Anu is an organic farmer in Ooty — a lively girl passionate about social issues, unafraid to challenge social norms and stigma. They meet, are instantly attracted to each other, and marry on a whim. Anu's pregnancy marks the beginning of a new phase in their lives. However, everything unravels when their families meet, and a shocking disclosure, brought about by a strange twist of fate, is revealed. Caught between societal expectations and his love's needs, Abhi faces a life-altering decision.
