SYNOPSIS
Anjali Sharma is a bubbly little girl who loves life and being the one to stand out the most. She has a younger sister, Naina, or so she thinks. Her father, Om Sharma, is a well-respected man, as he is the Prime Minister of India. He loves his country deeply and wishes all the best for it, but one day all of his dreams turn into nightmares and his beloved India is under havoc.
Anjali's mother Sayeeda is a peaceful woman who stays at home and cares for her kids. She is also a part-time baker. She would make special pastries and cakes for her shop and have her employees come to her home and pick them up. Ever since she was a child, she dreamed about running her own little bakery and making delicious pastries for the town to enjoy.
Everything seemed to be going fine until; Anjali's father takes up drinking and abuses his wife badly. He also has an affair with another woman, whom he later marries after his wife walks out on him. Ishika, his new wife, is someone whom both Om and Sayeeda both know, but fail to recognize. She is there to wreak destruction on this family, for things done to her and a companion in the past. Therefore, she puts her devilish "plan" into action. Months later, with the help of Kavita, Sayeeda’s younger sister, the plan is successful. However, Naina is taken away with Kavita and Anjali goes to live with her best friend Sunaina, after running away from an orphanage.
Mr. and Mrs. Malhotra, Sunaina’s parents, take her in and change residency to avoid any conflict that may arise. They love Anjali as much as they love their own child and raise her to be a confident young woman. Unfortunately, another tragedy strikes when Anjali and Sunaina enter their first year of college. They receive a devastating phone call announcing the death of Mr. and Mrs. Malhotra.
Within this same time frame, Anjali finds love, but what she doesn't know is that the man she thinks she loves is a completely different person and may end up scarring her for life.

The lover’s that enter their lives are two heroic men that vow to protect them and guide them through out life’s many obstacles. However, Anjali’s past just may threaten her future with her newfound love.
