Premise

edit

In spite of having some misconception, childhood friends Tara and Agni used to love each other.[6] But the arrival of Dhrubajyoti Lahiri, a business tycoon with his motive of exacting revenge on Agni's family and his marriage with Tara not only twisted that equation but also inserted a tale of love, compromise, conspiracy and revenge.[7][8]
