Akash,
his son is an equally devoted doctor, who remains duty-bound
to both his profession and his father.
Enter

having her own way in life. Beneath her veneer of defensive
sensitivity, Soniya is an individual full of compassion.
But
she believes that no one can truly love her for who she truly
is. So she decides to 'buy' Akash's love through a financial
agreement.
The
agreement states that her father, Gulshan will finance the
hospital project if Akash marries her daughter.
