Plot

Shimul comes from a village where education has not left its mark yet and being a responsible school teacher herself, Shimul makes it a point to impart education and knowledge to everyone possible in the village. She is progressive in nature and an accomplished educator. As an empowered woman who wants to create her own identity yet stay deeply rooted to her values, Shimul's only motto in life is to enlighten everyone she comes across with proper education. Destiny however, has a poignant role to play in Shimul's life as she gets married into a family where education is of least priority. Neel is a happening college-goer but hates studies to such an extent that he passed his graduation exams only after appearing for it the 4th time. Neel is also extremely spoilt and is guided by his mother, who herself believes that studies are a waste of time. Neel's mother wants her daughter-in-law to be illiterate as she doesn't want anyone in the family to be more qualified than her son. Shimul brings changes in Neel for the better, and the two go about life hand-in-hand, overcoming hurdles that life throws at them. Off late, Neel succumbs to a life laced with tragedy and alcohol after the sad demise of Shimul. Sunaina, a con and a bar-crooner makes an entry and is found to be Shimul's exact lookalike.
