Plot

Sitaram runs his family in an authoritarian manner. He has planned the marriage of his son, Vasudev, only to be told that Vasudev loves another woman, Suman, whom he plans to marry. Sitaram tells his son to forget about his love and marry the woman he has chosen for him. Vasudev instead marries Suman and brings her home to introduce her to his family. While the rest of the family welcome Suman, Sitaram makes it clear that she is not welcome. Shortly thereafter Vasudev and Suman leave the household and relocate in the U.S. Several years later, Sitaram receives a letter informing him that Vasudev and his family will visit them in India. Sitaram looks forward to seeing his son and his family after all these years. He is enraged when he finds that the only one sent to visit him is Sita, his granddaughter, and the excuse for Vasudev and Suman not attending is that "they are busy". Old wounds resurface and Sitaram will have nothing to do with his granddaughter, who has brought a special gift from her father for her grandfather. But Sitaram will not accept this gift, unless his son himself gives it to him, and it is then he realizes the reason for his son's absence. It is later revealed that his son and daughter in law were killed and their last wish was to send their daughter to meet her grandparents and share the reason behind her visit.
