At 45, Sushil Verma stands at a crossroads in his life; a successful hotelier in the historic city of Varanasi, he is surrounded by a loving family – his wife Shalini, 43, a dedicated homemaker, and their two children, Khushi, 18, and Aditya, 14. Despite his affluence and strong family background, a rift in the family has significantly influenced his financial stability. Surrounded by affluent friends and acquaintances, Sushil finds himself grappling with the societal pressure to maintain his status in society.
