Synopsis edit
It is a story of love, deceit and betrayal. Swati is an educated working woman in her early 30s, who meets a seemingly innocent and naive man named Shridhar and falls love with him who lures her into a trap of a various kind. Her life is picture perfect until she finds out the truth.[3]
Plot edit
Swati falls in love with a man named Shridhar Kale and marries him. However, mysterious incidents occur, which seemingly point to Shridhar. It is revealed that Shridhar is already married to a woman named Suman and eloped with her. This displeased their families, who caused Suman to miscarry, and she was no longer capable of bearing children. Obsessed with having a biological child, Shridhar tricked Swati into marrying him and bearing his child. In a series of strange events, Swati is kicked out of the house, and she eventually marries a man named Sangram. Sangram is aghast after discovering that Swati is pregnant with Shridhar's child and kicks her out of the house.
In the climax, Sangram sees through Shridhar's mind games and confronts him. He reveals that he never had any intention of disowning Swati and pretended to banish her from the house to lure Shridhar. In order to ruin Shridhar's marriafe with Suman, Sangram convinced Suman that Shridhar had planned her miscarriage. Sangram scolds Shridhar for exploiting Swati to fulfil his selfish desire for a biological child. He also reveals that he was adopted by his parents and reminds Shridhar that there are thousands of orphans in need of a family. Sangram curses Shridhar, saying that although Swati will give birth to Shridhar's child, Shridhar will never be able to claim the child as his. For the rest of his life. Shridhar will never be able to meet his biological child. However, Sangram vows to fulfil his paternal duty towards Swati's child. In the end, Suman reconciles with Shridhar, and the two decide to adopt a child. Shridhar accepts Sangram's punishment and says that if he is fortunate to spend a few moments with his biological child before his death, he will feel exonerated.
