At 16, Sitaara Chauhan carries more than most would expect—expectations, unspoken pressures, and quiet traumas from a village that doesn’t talk about feelings. Her escape has always been studying, and her brilliance has quietly brought pride to her family.
When an unexpected opportunity arises to study at a top inter-college in Mumbai, Sitaara must leave her village and stay with her estranged chachu and chachi, people she has long heard stories about but never truly known.
In a city that hums with freedom and unfamiliarity, Sitaara begins to discover more than academics—she confronts the weight she has carried, learns to understand herself, and slowly finds a stage where she can finally be her own.
This is the story of how Sitaara Chauhan finds her Rangmach—a stage not handed to her, but one she builds with courage, knowledge, and her voice.
