Plot
Simran lives a quiet life with her traditional family in the suburbs of London. Despite her outward demeanour, she is a dreamer — a girl who longs for grand romance and a life shaped by her own choices. Her father, Baldev, is a rigid patriarch, who discourages anything beyond the bounds of duty and discipline. Since childhood, Simran has been betrothed to Kuljeet, the brash son of Baldev’s friend, Ajit, who lives in Punjab.
