It is the story of Niyati Sharma, coming from a middle-class family from Nagpur… a practical girl who has grown up appreciating her father’s hard work to get his daughters educated and her mother’s sacrifices to supplement their meager family income.
When Niyati gets a job, she gets the opportunity to bring home her salary and give her parents some much needed relief from their incessant struggle to make ends meet.
A marriage proposal comes for Niyati from the Shastri family, a large joint family where all the sons including the married ones hand over their earnings to their mother, who rules the household with an authoritarian hand.
