She believes in enjoying every moment of her life to the fullest. Being her parents’ only child, every stated wish is fulfilled and she is never burdened with any responsibilities. She is a modern day girl who lives her life as per her own whims, and certainly not thinking of getting married soon. Madhuri’s fun-filled care-free life changes when a Mumbai boy Swapnil falls in love with her at first sight. His love is unconditional, as he is ready to accept her the way she is. But they are poles apart as their families have brought them up very differently. Swapnil hails from a typical middle class joint family and imbibes that value system. He is a handsome young man and a fitness freak. He is matured but an introvert. An engineer by qualification, he is very loyal and devoted to his work. He always strives to keep his family happy and united. In this soul stirring story, viewers will get to see whether ‘opposites attract’ is true. Will Madhuri ever fall in love with Swapnil? Will she be able to summit an everest of expectations and relationships? Will she ever understand Swapnil’s unconditional and pure love for her? Will these two individuals so different from each other end up together?

Is the Media in trouble? Mumbai Press Club holds discussion on subject

Uday Shankar, Star India CEO said, “Just because the media has become capital-intensive, doesn’t mean that it has to compromise on your integrity. Every business has to have a value system, and the editor needs to be sensitive to that. Journalists need to wake up to the economic reality, and it can’t be denied. On the other hand, those who recognise that are willing to swing to the other extreme and do anything. That also is neither healthy nor sustainable.”
