A girl sitting in front of the mirror, all dressed up for her big day. But something is missing. Her smile. Which she didn't lose even after enduring the insults from none other than her family. She's strong. She believed someday her life will change, for good. The people around her will accept her but it never happened, here they are waiting for her to get married. Her parents, nope her mother and siblings wants to get rid of her.
She wips the lone tear running down her cheek, not want to ruin the makeup, not ready to hear one more insult from her mom and siblings.
Ridhima Kapoor is getting married to Arjun rathod today!!
Big day , indeed big day for her. She stood up, walking to the window holding her heavy lehenga.
' papa I need you....' a soft sob escape from her mouth as she remembers her dad. He was the only reason she didn't take any drastic step when her mom called her disgrace when her siblings made fun of her.... And for what.. just because her skin is dusky. Yup, she's not fair like her Mom and siblings. But she has a heart of gold which they don't have. They are cruel just like her mother. A humorless laugh escape from her mouth to call her mother. A mother is supposed to love her children , Treat them good. But we are talking about Samantha Kapoor here.
Samantha was never fair to ridhima. She treated ridhima like she's not her blood. Her mother is an ex model , she was never ready for the marriage. Because of the state of her family back then also the pressure of her parents she said yes to the marriage.
Ram Kapoor, A gem of a man. Samantha's dad Rajesh was impressed by him. They worked in the same office. He loved how respectful ram is, and he was sure only he can bring his daughter on the right path... if only he knew...
Samantha had to quit her carrier as she got pregnant as soon as they got married. Also she was afraid of ram, how he will react if she says she wants to continue her job as a model. She thought she will fulfill her dreams by her kids. To her disappoinment her first born was a boy, and she was sure ram will never allow her son to be a model. Her second baby was ridhima , when ridhima was born Samantha was happy to hear she gave birth to a girl. The smile on her face wipes away when the nurse gave ridhima to her. She literally pushed the baby after seeing her dusky skin. Thankfully RAM was there. In the five years of marriage ram understood how cruel his wife is but never thought she will abandon her own blood because of skin color. From that moment he took ridhima under his wings as he was sure his wife will never love her. It's not that he never tried to talk about ridhima to his wife but she never listen him instead she blamed ram for her dusky skin as ram is not fair like Samantha.
At first ram thought Samantha will start loving ridhima after seeing her love towards Samantha. Ridhima was an obdedient child since childhood , she used to help ram in his work. She was a brilliant student as well . She used to bring the trophies to her house hoping her mom will be proud of her sadly that never happened. Samantha forced her to work in the home. She was more a maid than a daughter to Samantha. And she poisoned her siblings as well. They don't respect her either. After ridhima Samantha gave birth to ridhi who is an exact replica of her mother. Her brother used to love her but in time he stopped talking as well and started taunting her with his mom.
Ridhima endured everything, and the smile never left her lips until...... Her dad passed away. She broke down completely. She lost her hope, she lost the reason to smile in the house. Ridhima begged Samantha to complete her degree which she agreed only if ridhima accept to work for them. She didn't want to waste her money on her. That's exactly the words her mother said. Ridhima somehow happy knowing she let her complete the degree, true to her words Samantha stopped the cook so ridhima had to woke up early and prepare breakfast for everyone before leaving for the college. She did everything to complete her degree as her dad wanted her to finish the degree and find a job and live happily.
