A famous journalist Aditya from Delhi visits Imlie's village to interview Satyakam Dadda. One stormy night Imlie is forced to spend the night in the cottage with Aditya. Though both are innocent, the locals force Aditya to marry Imlie. Aditya, previously engaged to his girlfriend Malini in the city, refuses to recognise the ceremony and asks Imlie to decide what she wants to do. Imlie is devastated to know that her husband is reluctant to accept her as a wife and she is just a liability to him. Imlie at first is placed in the care of an NGO, but later circumstances force Aditya to take her to his home. There, Imlie introduces herself as a domestic servant who accompanied Aditya to search for a job in the city.
As time passes, she bonds with the family, specially with Malini, with whom Aditya is married despite already being married to Imlie because he dosen't consider their relationship of compulsion legal or valid. She starts considering Malini as her elder sister unaware of how they truly are sisters.
Summary ahead with a few changes:
As time passes, Aditya's feelings for Imlie which he had ignored right from the first time they met, start to deepen leaving him engulfed in a storm of emotions.
Imlie has accepted she loves him long back but also the fact that he can never be hers. And so she starts to distance herself from him so that it's easier to leave and go and also to contain the pain.
He knows she would never accept this love for even if she loved him back, she loved her Malini Didi a lot more.
She feels he would never love her for even as she reads his emotions in his eyes, she chooses to believe it is all an illusion, the thought of hurting Malini Didi too blinding her eyes a little more.
Stuck such, how would two souls destined to be make their way towards each other? How would things unfold? What all would they have to bear and witness and fight to get together?
Love,
Pratyusha
