Vritka's life was a perfect blend of ambition and independence. At just 24, she thrived as a banker, relishing her freedom and the joy of living life on her own terms. She was finally enjoying her life being an independent woman.
But one day her parents decided to casually bring up the topic of marriage only for her stomach to churn in unease.
Sweet yet strong, Vritka felt her heart race at the thought. The idea of being tied down doesn't seemed really appeasing to her as according to her , it would mean to let go of her individuality, for which she wasn't ready at all.
Just when she thought things couldn't get more complicated, life took a turn when her father got a proposal for her from his boss's relative before she could even deny.
Now, what will she choose-her cherished freedom or the chance of something new?
Will she decides to give it a chance or go against her family and choose herself? Or her life will take a new turn when she will meet Anshik Sharma, a 27-year-old from a completely different background ; having a past of his own yet grounded with his values.
