Who are Kalindi, Avni, Sakshi and Meera?
The tale revolves around four close friends, all young women, grappling with relationship challenges encompassing both familial and romantic aspects.
Kalindi has been staying with her boyfriend, Rishabh, in Australia for two years. Although in a happy relationship, she harbors a deep-seated fear of marriage stemming from her tumultuous upbringing. Her parents’ frequent conflicts, followed by her father’s swift remarriage after her mother’s demise, instilled in her a skepticism towards matrimonial bonds. When Rishabh proposes, Kalindi initially hesitates due to her aversion to marriage but eventually relents for Rishabh’s sake.
Avni is a dedicated lawyer who specializes in divorce cases in Delhi. She finds herself unnerved by the prospect of marriage. Her fear is juxtaposed against her mother’s fervent quest to find her a suitable match. Her daily encounters with failed marriages in her profession only deepen her apprehension towards tying the knot.
Sakshi is already married but currently resides with her parents post-separation from her husband. However, she keeps her reasons for the split under wraps. The details of her marital discord remain shrouded in mystery.
Meera, having married an American named John, is blessed with a son named Kabir. However, she grapples with familial disapproval, particularly from her father, Kabir Sr., due to cultural disparities. Despite yearning for reconciliation with her father, Meera remains steadfast in her refusal to reunite until he acknowledges John and Kabir Jr. into the family fold.
Why does Kalindi feel suffocated?
Kalindi’s journey to Delhi for her impending marriage sees her lodging with her uncle Kuki and his partner for a brief spell. Despite Kishan and his wife Paromita’s earnest offers to assist with wedding preparations, Kalindi remains aloof. Rishabh’s family in Delhi is extremely religious and is constantly nagging Kalindi, who feels overwhelmed. Their tight-knit dynamic feels suffocating to Kalindi, who values her autonomy and individuality above all else.
Chaos ensues during the engagement ceremony, attended by Kalindi’s three friends. Avni’s intoxication leads her into a regrettable encounter with Rishabh’s cousin Bhandari, while Sakshi, irritated by gossip, leaves early. Meera faces scrutiny over her family’s religious beliefs, adding to the tension. Rishabh’s rude remark about Kalindi’s lack of conventional family and friends further stokes her frustration, prompting her abrupt departure from her own engagement celebration.
Why does Rishabh and Kalindi call off their engagement?
The following day, Kalindi seeks solace in the familiarity of her childhood home. Rishabh extends a genuine apology, trying to reconcile. Despite their mutual love, Kalindi candidly expresses her doubts about meeting his family’s expectations, leading to a mutually respectful decision to call off the engagement.
Avni, Sakshi, and Meera, upset by Kalindi’s choice, attempt to dissuade her. However, their efforts lead to a heated exchange as Kalindi confronts each friend about their own imperfections.
Sakshi, sensing her friends’ collective burden, plans a refreshing getaway to Thailand. Amidst the serene backdrop, they bare their souls, revealing their deepest fears and insecurities. Kalindi struggles with her aversion to commitment, while Avni yearns for a love that aligns with her ideals.
Sakshi bravely divulges the reason behind her impending divorce, recounting the misunderstanding that led to her husband’s drastic decision. Meera shares her postpartum struggles, including the strain it’s placed on her relationship with John.
Buoyed by their cathartic confessions, the friends confront their challenges head-on. Sakshi bravely confronts her parents, disclosing the truth about her marriage and securing their unwavering support. Meera and John reconcile, bridging the chasm that had formed between them. With Kabir Sr.’s arrival, a long-awaited reconciliation unfolds, paving the way for a joyous reunion.
Avni, emboldened by her newfound clarity, confides in her mother about her reservations regarding arranged marriage, vowing to chart her own path. She playfully teases about her exploration of romantic possibilities before settling down, much to her mother’s bemusement.

Through heartfelt dialogue, the brothers reconcile their differences, paving the way for a harmonious resolution.
