Superstar Raj has decided to leave his wife Simran for the reigning queen of Hindi cinema, Sia. Simran, a former actress but a homebody now, is out of shape and down in the dumps.

The Mehras have their hands full, and in the midst of all this, Raj and Simran’s children suffer as the news of their father’s affair pours in relentlessly. How is Simran ever going to seek out happiness in this maze of rejection ?
