Plot

The story begins with Aditya Balraj surrendering to the police and confessing to murder. Following his arrest, he decides to write his memoirs in his prison cell, and through these memoirs, we see the story of Aditya Balraj's family.

Aditya is a successful businessman, running a silk manufacturing industry. He is married to Divya. Despite all their happiness, they are unable to have a child even after many years of marriage.

Fortune takes a turn for them when Divya becomes pregnant in the eighth year of their marriage. However, the child is stillborn. As Aditya's brother is about to bury the lifeless child, the baby boy shows signs of life upon getting wet in the rain.

An astrologer then prophesies that the child will have a happy life until he turns five years old, which makes Aditya paranoid about the protection of his child.

The story then moves ahead by five years. Aditya's son, Dev Aditya Balraj has grown up to be a smart boy. Aditya dotes over him and has managed to successfully expand his business over the years. Dev is similarly adored by the full joint family. However, Dev is very eco-friendly and is horrified when he learns of how the silk manufacturing process involves the killing of silkworms.

Dev begins to resent his father. Unable to bear this, Aditya decides to shut down his business. This brings the ire of the family down upon Dev, as they were all dependent on Aditya. The Balrajs nearly go bankrupt and are forced to move into a chawl .

Meanwhile, Aditya continues to research and his team stumbles upon a new process of manufacturing silk, that does not involve the killing of silkworms. Branding it as Ahimsa Silk (English: 'non-violent), Aditya relaunches his business.

Aditya's competitors, some of whom were earlier his associates, suffer from heavy losses due to the widespread adoption of Ahimsa Silk. After finding out that Dev was responsible for this entire series of events, they murder the innocent child.

Aditya is devastated with the loss of his son, and vows to find his son's murderer and avenge him.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Silk</span> Fine, lustrous, natural fiber produced by various arthropods

Silk is a natural protein fiber, some forms of which can be woven into textiles. The protein fiber of silk is composed mainly of fibroin and is produced by certain insect larvae to form cocoons. The best-known silk is obtained from the cocoons of the larvae of the mulberry silkworm Bombyx mori reared in captivity (sericulture). The shimmering appearance of silk is due to the triangular prism-like structure of the silk fibre, which allows silk cloth to refract incoming light at different angles, thus producing different colors.

Sericulture, or silk farming, is the cultivation of silkworms to produce silk. Although there are several commercial species of silkworms, the caterpillar of the domestic silkmoth is the most widely used and intensively studied silkworm. This species of silkmoth is no longer found in the wild as they have been modified through selective breeding, rendering most flightless and without defense against predators. Silk is believed to have first been produced in China as early as the Neolithic period. Sericulture has become an important cottage industry in countries such as Brazil, China, France, India, Italy, Japan, Korea, Russia, and Thailand. Today, China and India are the two main producers, with more than 60% of the world's annual production.
