Synopsis edit
A narrative about Shalini and Rajesh is found in Minnaley. When they were both in college, Rajesh secretly married Shalini by tying a wedding chain around her. Rajesh had an accident during his final year of college and goes into a coma. Rajesh returns after so many hardships but has no memory of anything. They remarry with the consent and blessing of their parents after Shalini somehow persuades him that they truly loved each other and were previously married. He eventually drives Shalini out of his home as a result of several events. Flaws continue to work against Shalini, giving his brother and sister-in-law the opportunity to persuade him to divorce Shalini. When he learns that Shalini is pregnant, he decides not to continue. Their parents are both in favour of their reunion. However, Varsha and a few other individuals enjoy erasing her memories of Rajesh. Then Shalini's mother-in-law summons her to her residence in an effort to free Rajesh from Varsha's trap. The entire plot is devoted to this struggle, which Varsha's husband and best friend Dr. Mithun supports.
The protagonist of this tale, Shalini, is a bold young woman who overcomes all challenges in her life without Rajesh.
