The story is based in a small town of Allahabad, where the smallest thing happening in one’s house is known to everyone. People here lead a very careful life especially women. Man dominating the house, college and society is so common that now nobody is complaining but have accepted it as a part of their lives and try find happiness in the remains.
Same is not the story of Saxena family. Though they have their values and tradition in place but they believe in educating their daughters without any hesitation. Pratigya and Arushi consider themselves lucky to be born in this family. Their father has left no stones unturned to provide his daughters same education as he has provided to his son, despite of relatives and society pressure. They are a closely knit family. Like every other girl Pratigya also goes out for shopping or meeting her friends, unaware that one of the local goon- Krishna has developed liking towards her. Krishna is an unrefined boy who hangs out with a couple of his friends and loitering around the town being a nuisance.
From the day he has seen Pratigya, his day and nights revolved around her existence. Krishna’s friends too have started considering Pratigya as their Bhabhi making sure that nobody troubles her.



Pratigya doesn’t even see eye to eye with Krishna. He doesn’t exist for her. She is unaware of the troubles Krishna creates for others if they are unkind or extra nice to her. Krishna with full right makes Pratigya's life his business. His obsession towards Pratigya doesn’t take long for Pratigya and her family to realize that there is some guy who is after her. The family decides to get Pratigya married soon and Pratigya also willingly agrees for it.


What will happen when Krishna finds out about Pratigya’s marriage with someone else?

All are worried when the doctor explains to them that Pratigya’s condition is critical as she has slipped into coma. Now partigya has gone better although her left arm is still injured.

Krishna


Don’t go by his rough-around-the-edges appearance! That’s just the arrogant exterior. All he is, deep down, is a good person. And someone madly in love with his wife. Krishna considers himself lucky to be born in a family where he has everything. With his father’s support and brother’s encouragement, Krishna didn’t pursue studies after class five. He doesn’t regret it either as he feels that he has everything. His mentality towards women is the same as his father and brother. He feels that women are mere objects of pleasure and comfort, as long as you give them food, you can treat them the way you want. He has never seen his mother or his bhabhi object to it, and expects the same from his wife. He feels that he is romantic and nobody can love the way he does. He feels that if he loved anyone and got married to her then she should feel grateful and worship him. He believes that anything he does for Pratigya, be it threatening people and sending her love notes, is because he loves her.
