Kaamnaa (lit: Desire) is an Indian television serial starring Abhishek Rawat as the protagonist and Manav Gohil as the main antagonist.[1] The show is currently produced by Cockcrow and Shaika Entertainment.
The show revolves around a simple middle-class couple, Manav and Akanksha Bajpayee and a rich businessman, Vaibhav Kapoor. Manav and Akanksha have different ideologies about money, while Vaibhav is obsessed with Akanksha. The show is said to be inspired from ARY Digital's popular TV show, Meray Paas Tum Ho.[2]
Plot
Manav, a hardworking and straightforward government officer, follows his principles and rules of life with complete honesty. In contrast, his wife Akanksha desires to lead a luxurious life with everything she wants. Despite not getting everything, they wish for, the two are happy with their son, Yatharth. All goes well until a businessman, Vaibhav Kapoor, who believes anything can be bought by money, falls in love at first sight with Akanksha, his 𝘒𝘢𝘢𝘮𝘯𝘢𝘢 (translation: wish or desire) as he likes to call her, without knowing her real identity. Manav transfers from Bhopal to Indore and patches things up between Akanksha and her family. Akanksha shares her past with Manav and reveals that she was once Miss Indore, but only because her father bribed the judges. Vaibhav gets closer to Akanksha by buying her old bungalow and even offering her a job to model his company with extra perks. Still, Manav disapproves of this as he suspects Vaibhav’s intentions. After some time, Akanksha falls in love with Vaibhav, leaving Manav shattered. Akanksha’s leave negatively affects Yatharth’s mental health, where Sakshi, his school counselor, helps him. Sakshi’s husband, Prateek, and son, Parth, died in a car accident and has affected her since. Sakshi sees Parth in Yatharth, forcing her to leave the school after interfering with Manav and Akanksha’s sole guardianship of Yatharth. After losing everything, Manav feels guilty and lets Sakshi and her mother-in-law stay with them for the sake of Yatharth. Manav wins legal guardianship of his son after Mr. Holkar shows sympathy for him and realizes his past mistakes. Akanksha gets paranoid when she can't find any way to get Yatharth to be with her, even after asking Vaibhav for help which he denies since he hates kids. She kidnaps Yatharth at school while Manav goes on a hunt with the police to find her and also arrest her, but Sakshi stops him from doing so. Vaibhav leaves for America to get his dream project done, leaving Akanksha as CEO in charge until he gets back. Vaibhav hates Akanksha for ruining his image and removes her title as CEO and blames Karan (Akanksha's brother) as he is the supplier, for the loss of many lives. Sakshi makes Manav realize how to live freely again and how Akanksha only thought about herself and never about anyone else. Akanksha gets under Vaibhav's spell as he promises to give 50% share of his company and even marry her. Manav gets suspicious of Akanksha after she gives a divorce to Manav, not knowing that she wants Yatharth's custody. Things get chaotic and makes its way to court.
