==Overview==<br />
Shagun is the story of two cousins, Aradhana and Aarti, brought up together and so close to each other that one hardly needs words to convey her thoughts to the other. Aarti is an optimist - she believes that she has what it takes to touch the stars, if she desires. Aradhana, however, considers herself unlucky.<br />
