The whole family loves Akshara very much and one vary day, they set up her alliance with a deserving boy of their community. Although she willingly accepts her marriage with Naitik, whom her parents have chosen as her life partner, she realizes that their relationship is not like any of the romantic notions she had nurtured in her heart about her future husband. Nevertheless, her mother explains that she will gradually fall in love with her husband. And, as they get to know each other more and more and learn to adapt themselves to their life partner, love will surface and they will find their bonds strengthened by it.
