In the bustling city of Delhi, Sitara's life has always been a tapestry of challenges and resilience. At 21, she carried the weight of her family's struggles on her slender shoulders. Her father, once a robust man full of life and laughter, is now bedridden with a severe heart condition. 

The memory of her mother's gentle smile haunted her; she had passed away, bringing Sitara's younger brother, Abhay, into the world. Abhay, now seven, was the light in her dark days, his innocence a constant reminder of the love they had lost and the family they had to hold together.

Sitara Shetty

Working as a servant in the Chowdary Mansion

Sitara worked as a servant in the opulent mansion of Mr. Vivek Chowdary, one of the wealthiest men in the country. The mansion, a sprawling estate with manicured gardens, marble floors, and crystal chandeliers, stood in stark contrast to her modest home.

Sitara's duties were endless, but she performed them diligently, her thoughts always drifting back to her father's fragile health and Abhay's future.

The Chowdary household was a labyrinth of luxury and power. Among its inhabitants, Gagan Chowdary, Mr. Chowdary's favorite grandson, stood out. Gagan, in his late twenties, was known for his cold demeanor and arrogance.

He was handsome and sharp, and he exuded an aura of untouchable superiority. Despite his wealth and status, Gagan was a man of few words and fewer emotions. His life was meticulously planned, with every step leading him closer to fulfilling his grandfather's grand visions.

Gagan's marriage had been arranged with Priya, the granddaughter of one of Mr. Chowdary's business partners. Priya, much like Gagan, was accustomed to a life of privilege.

Fiance of Gagan                                                         

Her arrogance matched her beauty, and she often looked down on those she considered beneath her. The impending marriage was the talk of the city, a union that would merge two powerful families and solidify their dominion.

Sitara, a mere servant in their grand world, could only watch from the shadows, her heart aching with a secret she could never reveal: Gagan was her first love.

Sitara had fallen for him the very first day she set foot in the mansion, when she was just 18. The memory of their initial encounter remained vivid in her mind. Gagan, with his sharp features and brooding eyes, had captivated her heart instantly. Yet, she was acutely aware of the chasm between them—he, the heir to a fortune, and she, a poor girl struggling to keep her family afloat.

Sitara worked diligently, performing her duties with a quiet grace, always under the watchful eye of Gagan. He seemed to take a perverse pleasure in making her life difficult. No matter how hard she worked or how perfectly she completed her tasks, it was never enough for him. He would find fault, his cold eyes piercing through her, his harsh words leaving invisible scars.

Despite his cruelty, Sitara's love for Gagan never wavered. She knew it was foolish, that her love was unrequited and hopeless, but she couldn't help the way she felt. Her heart ached every time she saw him with Priya. Their future together was a constant reminder of the dreams she could never achieve.
