Gunjan, is a smart, suave 17 year old Mumbai, big city girl, who has a
wonderful relationship with her mother Sneha. Tragically, Sneha is
diagnosed with cancer and dies soon leaving behind a lifetime of void in
her young daughter Gunjan's life. Her dad wants to take her to
Australia with him where he has a big business, but Gunjan's maasi,
Shail now takes her under her wings and requests her to come and stay
with her. Gunjan now moves to Banaras with her maasi. Here in the city
of Banaras, in her masi's home has to share her room with Rachna,
Shail's 16 year old daughter. Gunjan from her own nuclear family in
Mumbai nowcomes to Banaras to live in a joint family headed by Dayal
(Rachna's father) who runs a garment shop and lives with his two
brothers and their family under one roof. Gunjan is told to share the
room with RACHNA a long haired girl, wearing a loose suit so that her
figure cannot be seen properly, her eyebrows still not made – a complete
contrast to Gunjan. Rachna is brought up in a very traditional and
conservative manner in a middle class Banaras household. Shail's
husband, Dayal, Rachna's father has laid down strict rules and
regulations for Rachna. However, Gunjan has been brought up in a free
and spirited environment in Mumbai, now begins to feel a little stuck in
the small town of Banaras, but for Rachna, Gunjan is like a window to a
world that she has neither lived or wants to experience. Thus begins
the story of Gunjan and Rachna, a story of young girls who are like
chalk and cheese – one is smart and suave and the other gawky and
awkward. Gunjan speaks without thinking and Rachna has been taught to
never question anything. Rachna has an elder sister Pihu who was married
early and she knew her father Dayal wanted a son the second time and
has not loved her that much but she is her mother's ladli. Rachna has
also vowed never to do anything which may upset her father and the brunt
comes on her mother. Gunjan finds herself in this whirlwind situation
where she has to adjust to the new family and specially Rachna. On the
other hand gunjan is like a “new attraction” a “ajooba” to Rachna's
family. After the initial conflict between the two sisters, slowly
they form a bond…they both are head strong girls but both nice at
heart. Will they get to enjoy those wonder years before they are
pressurised by their families to get married and live a life that's
expected from them? Will Gunjan and Rachna bring the change in the
life's of women who wants to relive their aspirations? Will Gunjan and
Rachna become the role models for the sisters who have left their
relations in keeping up with their own family responsibilities? Will
they bring back the sweet memories of sibling bond and love once more in
forefront ? This is a story of love, everlasting friendship, the joys
of sharing & caring, the fights and the make ups between sisters who
may not be related by blood but form a connection that completes each
other.
