The concept of an arranged marriage is quite unique to the Indian culture. The families choose the bride and the groom as per their own beliefs and customs and the two strangers are tied for a lifetime by the knot of holy matrimony. There is no question of a courting period or the individual preferences of the bride or the groom. On the other hand, it also shows what a girl might have to go through in a love marriage, showing how similaritites are here where even though she knows the guy, the other family members are strangers.

This story is a beautiful and heart warming story of 2 girls, one called Akshara who, not unlike millions of other girls in India, knows that her marriage will happen with the consent of her parents and family. Like other young girls, she also has grown up fancying film stars and cricket stars…but to fall in love before marriage remains a distant dream for her. The other one is Varsha, an only child, who lost her father at a very young age, and is a more practical, confident and self reliant person than Akshara since she does not have the security blanket of a father figure or brother over her head. She loves a guy and marries him.
