"I don't want to become a mother." This line is a taboo for women in some parts of the world, and so was for Khusi Mukherjee. At the age of 25, independent and single, she wanted to live her life according to her rules. But everything changed when she met Bhaskar Goswami, a potential groom selected by her mother. They met, talked, liked each other and got married. Sounds like happily ever after, isn't it? But no, there's a small twist to it. Khusi never wanted to bear a child, and that's what made her a pariah in Indian society. Will Khusi be able to endure the pressure of her decision? Will she keep her head high and stick to her beliefs, or bend to the social norms? What will happen when Bhaskar comes home one day, with an absurd proposition and a revelation, that could change Khusi's life all together? She has to face the biggest challenge of her life, her husband's child. What new surprises and people awaits her, and would it be for good or will it shatter her forever?
