Shreya and Pratham, married for fourteen years, live a seemingly stable life in Bengaluru-but beneath the surface lies a relationship shaped by compromise, silence, and unfulfilled promises. Pressured into an arranged marriage she never truly wanted, Shreya spends years navigating a toxic household dominated by her husband's financially demanding parents and their constant taunts about her inability to bear a child.
Despite repeated emotional strain and failed fertility treatments that take a toll on her health, Shreya continues to hold on, believing things will eventually improve. When she and Pratham finally move out, it feels like a fresh start-until his parents re-enter their lives, bringing the same cycle of control and humiliation.
A promise of a better future emerges when Pratham secures an opportunity to move to the United States. Trusting him, Shreya gives up her career, hoping to rebuild her life abroad. But unforeseen setbacks and professional conflicts shatter that dream, forcing them back to India-financially unstable and emotionally drained.
As years pass, Shreya finds herself unemployed, isolated, and battling severe anxiety, while Pratham, overwhelmed by his own struggles, abandons his corporate career to pursue music. With savings dwindling and tensions escalating, their marriage begins to fracture beyond repair.
Now, standing at the edge of her breaking point, Shreya is forced to confront a painful truth: in a life shaped by sacrifice and dependency, how much responsibility does she carry-and how much belongs to the man she trusted?
Whose Mistake is a poignant exploration of marriage, identity, and the silent erosion of self, asking a question with no easy answer-when everything falls apart, who is truly to blame?
