The illegitimate daughter of a powerful businessman, she was sent to live with her six half-brothers after her father's sudden death.
The boys were born from privilege, pride, and perfectly manicured bloodlines. No one welcomed her. No one cared.

Maheer peeked through Rudra's arm to have a look at her eldest brother, who sat on the single chair, placing his right leg on the left one. His eyes stared at a distance with a face devoid of any emotion.
The others wear the same expression. As if they didn't hear their aunt calling the police to arrest Maheer.
Rudra's assuring nod was giving her some relief, but that was not enough. She needed more.
Her heartbeat raced listening to the knock on the door. The door opened, revealing Lakshay with five people dressed in police uniforms behind him.
"They are going to take me with them." Maheer spoke in a barely audible voice and again hid her face in Rudra's chest.
Rudra held her closely, silently promising he wouldn't let it happen.
Mrs. Dixit moved forward. Raising an accusatory finger toward Maheer, "She is the girl who pushed my son, because of which he lost his life."
"We just want justice for my son." Mr. Dixit said, folding his hands.
Maheer's chest aches seeing the couple. She didn't want to hurt him or them. Her hold on Rudra loosens.
Maybe her aunt is right. She doesn't deserve to live a normal life after taking someone's. Her place is in prison and not here.
None of the brothers reacted. They stood freezing in their places. As if they left the fate to decide the future events.
Or that's what others thought.
Taking a deep breath, the head of the police spoke, "We understand this time is difficult for your family. But... " His gaze went to Maheer and then again to Mr. and Mrs. Dixit.
"But blaming an innocent is also not the right thing to do. We checked all the CCTV footage, but we found nothing that made Ms. Rajput a suspect. In fact, after the party, she didn't leave her room, so how can she push Karan?"
The statement made Maheer's head snap in the direction of the voice.
Except for the brothers and Lakshay, everyone was shocked.
Flashback
"Lakshay, I want you to find out who all saw Maheer come here and handle them." Atharyu ordered making Lakshay take action immediately.
"Aditya..."
"I am taking care of the CCTV cameras," spoke Aditya, who was doing something on his phone for quite a while.
Atharyu nods in appreciation.
"But I want you to keep the original recordings with you." Aditya followed whatever his eldest ordered.
"Are you implying something, Atharyu?" Rudra asked.
