Priya and Gautam seem to have that ideal marriage - lovely children, a comfortable lifestyle and a happy home.

She's smart, educated and articulate and chooses to spend her time bringing up her kids and taking care of her home rather than a career.
This idyllic existence is doomed when Manisha walks into their lives. Manisha, who is young, unattached and beautiful, captures Gautam's attention. Gautam walks out leaving a traumatic Pooja and the children in his wake.
