Shimul is a modern, open-minded girl who loves to dance. However, she is thought to be a burden by her brothers. As a result, she marries Parag despite loving Shatadru. But she moves on and aims for a happy life with Parag. Parag, however, comes from a conservative family, which includes his mother, Madhubala, brother Palash, and sister, Putul, who has a mental disability. In her in-laws' household, no one cares about Shimul. Parag, Palash, and Madhubala torture and humiliate her in various ways. Despite this, three compassionate neighbors (Sucharita, Bipasha, and Shirsha) feel for her and protect her each time. Their friendship starts.

Controversy[edit | edit source]
Within a month of its release, the show courted controversy by showing Shimul's mother-in-law Madhubala (player by Rita Dutta Chakraborty) foiling Shimul's & Parag's wedding night by entering into their room uninvited, feigning illness & coercing Parag to sleep with her in the marriage bed, thereby forcing the newlywed Shimul to spend her wedding night sleepless on the couch. This particular scene intended to portray helicopter parenting, was instead criticised for supposedly promoting incest.[9][10]
