Story at a glance: (Source: NDTV Imagine.com)

Women have always been synonymous with the word ‘homemaker’. Over time things have changes and a woman is now expected to juggle various roles that society thrusts upon her. She is expected to fulfil all these roles, but not without a consequence. The consequence of questioning her intent & integrity every time she steps beyond the boundary of her home.

She sacrifices almost everything, yet she is condemned at every step. Is this fair? We try and answer all questions through Indu, who is forced by her husband to become an earning member of the family. She does. She succeeds in becoming a perfect mix of being a home maker and a provider. Yet, there are consequences. This time it’s her very own husband who is irked by her success and starts questioning her morals & integrity.

Through her courage & determination, Indu lives the plight of every woman who fulfills all the roles that society had decided for her. But, society doesn’t even bother to understand and her the desperate truth before it judges her or questions her.

This show deals with the current relevant middle class quandary, where-in it’s a taboo for the ‘bahu’ to step out of the house and be the bread earner for the family. With no experience on her side, Indu is faced with hurdles at work, family & in-laws. Facts are distorted, faith is questioned, yet Indu is not shaken, she succeeds in her endevaours.

This story is of a working middle class woman who fights to keep together her marriage and her family even though she is faced with opposition from all quarters.

Though he thinks he is the cleverer of the two brothers, his younger brother Pravin siphons off even from their joint business.
