Vanraj’s conniving plans to eliminate Anu include pressuring Hardik, the owner of Asha Bhavan, to sell it, risking its demolition. Anuj Kapadia, usually Anu’s rescuer, is financially strained. Further complicating matters, Vanraj’s family dynamics are strained, with responsibilities unevenly distributed.
