Series overview
Shabnam is a Muslim girl by birth, who aspires to become a doctor. She believes in changing orthodox views and discrimination in the society through her continuous quest to harbour a kinship with a traditional Bengali Hindu family that she has known since her childhood. Her life takes a turn when she runs away from her forced marriage and is rescued by a hearty doctor, Jashojit. Jashojit marries her in order to stand by Shabnam in her quest to become self dependent and achieve her dreams. What follows is how Shabnam fulfills her dream of becoming a doctor, while she struggles to adjust in a conservative Hindu family and get accepted by her in-laws.
