Plot

Soumya Nadkarni lives a luxurious life in Mumbai with her parents, Anirudh and Suhasini. A second-year Science student at I.B. Institute, she admires Bollywood star Sanjay Dutt. After overcoming a childhood appendectomy and a fear of needles, she donates blood to support her boyfriend, Ninad Kamat, during a campaign. However, she falls seriously ill during her final exams, and Dr. S.D. Potnis suspects Malaria. After two months of fever, Anirudh discovers Soumya is HIV positive and shares the news with Suhasini, who decides to keep it a secret. When Soumya learns the truth, she resolves to live normally and expresses her desire to marry Ninad, leading to significant challenges for the Kamat family and distancing from friends, as well as her denial of admission to her preferred hospital.
