Background of the story -


Before 5 years -

Laksh as usual has done another mistake when Sanskar tried to rectify him DP came there and listening their conversation he got angry and scolded Laksh and asked him to be like Sanskar.


In anger Laksh went out of the house to meet his friends. His friends instigated him against Sanskar and in anger he revealed to the family about Sanskar's bengali girl friend.


Everyone were socked as it is their family tradition that every child of the family have to marry the person chosen by the elder of the family who will be from their own community, in short love marriages are not aloud and inter cast marriage is out of question.


Thus DP asked Sankar to choose between hid love and family thinking that Sanskar is the most obedient son of family so he will definitely chose his family, but he forgot that Sanskar also doesn't like to be controlled in the name of cast discrimination and gender bias.


So when Sanskar chose his love and in anger DP threw Sanskar out of the house the whole family became double socked including Laksh as he just wanted his father to know that everyone does mistake and he (Laksh) alone is not as useless as he (DP) thinks.


But Laksh didn't know that his father will throw his brother out of the family. After that nobody knows where Sanskar went it's like there was noone named as Sanskar Maheswari exists in the world. After few months they got a news of Sanskar's death from one of his friend.



After 5 Years -

Swara and Ragini have no idea about Shekhar and Sharmistha's past or the main reason of dispute between the two families.


They have studied in the same school till the age of 12 after that something happened between the two families again and Swara was sent to a boarding school where she meet Sanskar.


From there starts Swara and Sanskar's friendship followed by love and relationship of life long.


After finishing her schooling Swara came back to Kolkata and joined Shantiniketan. She again met Ragini in a music competition and become friends.


There she came to know from Ragini that Ragini's marriage has been finalized with Laksh Maheshwari and Ragini knew nothing about her future husband or his family apart from their names, so on when Ragini request Swara to help her to know about them Swara agreed.


Swara and Ragini went to Maheswari mansion to know about them where security guards saw them and thought them to be some trouble makers.


When they wanted to bring them both inside the mansion Swara asked Ragini to go from there and she will handle everything.


When security guards brought her inside Gododiyas where also present there. Gododiyas were socked to see Swara there and when Swara introduced her as Ragini's friend Parvati Gododiya thought that Durga Prasad might brake the marriage if he came to know that Ragini has a friend like Swara who is bengali, modern, and a illegitimate daughter of her mother.


So Parvati Gododiya denied Swara's words saying that she is not Ragini's friend in fact she is their neighbor's daughter who has a habit of spoiling others happiness.


She started to insult Swara's family and when Swara protest saying that it's not her family but it's Parvati Gododiya who can not see other people happy Shekhar Gododiya slapped her.


Swara felt humiliated she ran out and came to her mother's workplace and told her everything. Sharmistha asked Swara to go back home and she will handle it.


After that Sharmistha went to Shekhar's shop and asked his worker to tell him to meet her after 1 hour in a nearby park.


After 1 hour when Sharmistha and Shekhar we're taking, Swara who came out for a cycle ride to refresh her mind overheard their conversation where she came to know that the man who just one hour back had insulted her for being fatherless and the man who she thought to be only her neighbour and father of her classmate Ragini is in real her father too n she is his illgimate daughter whom he denied to accept being a cowerd.


🔑Key Points -


What if Sekhar knows from the very beginning that Swara is his own blood his daughter still he slaps her at MM saying that she is a fatherless child???


What if after knowing the fact of Sekhar being her father Swara didn't accept him cz he betrayed her mother???


What if Swara wants to avenge her mother's pain n insult???


What if Sanskar didn't die and is still alive???


What if SwaSan r in relationships from the begging and both together hid the fact of Sanskar being alive???


What if Laksh didn't know his brother's girlfriend's name???
