Unrequited love hurts - no kidding, but watching the love of your life be head over heels for someone else - that's pain in the most raw sense. Duaa had known that pain - up close and personal.
But now the man she lost her heart to is going through...
"I was a very lonely child and it's funny but the first word that comes to my head is STARVED. I felt starved of affection, starved of love and I felt that it wasn't okay to ask for it. Maybe there was a sense that if I deserved it, it would be there. There must be something I had done which meant I didn't deserve it.

Five years later, Duaa is returning to India to attend her best friends' wedding. She feels certain that she has moved on from her feelings for Angad - the groom of the said wedding and her ex-best friend. She is convinced watching them happily wedded will be her final closure.
But she has forgotten that as someone who has stayed away not only from her homeland but also from her close people - firmly cutting off both her best friends - Prerna and Angad - she is not up to date with their lives.
The lives that had changed all one hundred and eighty degree.
A storm is awaiting Duaa and she is running head first into it, unaware.
What will be left of her after this storm - the wedding - only time would tell.
