Plot
Simran Kajol, young and radiant, lives a quiet life with her traditional family in the London suburbs. But beneath the surface of that prim existence lies a dreamer — a girl who longs for grand romance and a life shaped by her own choices. Her father, Baldev, is a rigid patriarch, a man of rules and routines who discourages anything beyond the bounds of duty and discipline. Since childhood, Simran has been promised to Kuljeet, the brash son of Baldev’s old friend Ajit, who lives in Punjab, India.
