Synopsis

The story opens with Kamini Mathur (Sanjeeda Sheikh), a talented actress who is at the peak of her career. For the world, she is a Bollywood diva but in her personal life she is a simple girl. Born to an IAS officer father and artist mother, Kamini has her middle-class values firmly in place. Hard working but uncompromising towards her values and talent, she struggles to find true love amidst men who are lured only by her fame and beauty. Her search ends when Madhav enters her life.

Maharaja Madhav Singh is a righteous, down to earth, simple man. He is an ideal king and son who fulfills his duties well. As the Maharaja of Rajgarh, Madhav is constantly surrounded by luxuries but he appreciates the small things in life. He has a penchant for art and is a romantic by heart who is looking for a soulmate who would love him for his values and not for his royal status.

Kamini and Madhav soon fall passionately in love but it is soon revealed that Madhav is already married to Rani Vijayalakshmi and has a three-year old daughter named Madhavi. At the same time, a broken Kamini finds out that she's pregnant with his child. As Kamini decides to keep the child, her father suggests that the family move to Canada for some time so Kamini can give birth to the child who will be introduced as her sibling to the world.

Twenty Years Later

20 years later, Kamini lives in her old house in Mumbai with her now widowed mother, and her daughter Mohini (Preetika Rao) who thinks Kamini is her older sister. The family is living hand to mouth and Kamini has retired completely from public life. Mohini decides to place an ad for a tenant to make ends meet.
