Ayesha is the story of a married homemaker in an urban set-up who lives with her one child and a husband. Her life revolves around her husband who is an egoist and practical and one grown child. To the world, her family seems nothing short of a dream. However, Ayesha soon starts to realize that her very own husband takes her for granted and that her world is shallow and lonely. And amidst the quest of caring for his every need, she never took the time to carve her own identity and harness her talent for being a YouTuber.
