Love, Sitara

Sitara’s world collapses when a routine check reveals she is pregnant, a secret she has kept even from her closest friend. The news forces her to confront a cascade of hidden truths: a mysterious photograph suggests her father Govind may have been involved with her flamboyant aunt Hema Chechi, and a frantic search uncovers that Hema’s long‑standing lover is actually the airline pilot Arvind, not Govind. The revelation that Hema has spent decades in a clandestine affair shatters Sitara’s assumptions about her own family’s honesty.

The strain deepens when Sitara confesses to Arjun—her boyfriend‑turned‑fiancé—that during a brief breakup she slept with another man, leaving the baby’s paternity uncertain. Arjun, feeling betrayed, calls off the wedding. Lata, Sitara’s mother, is devastated not only by her sister’s secret liaison but also by her husband’s past infidelity, which the grandmother later confirms: her own husband abandoned her years ago, teaching a bitter lesson that love can be both a refuge and a source of pain.

Faced with the loss of both her marriage and the trust of her family, Sitara decides to keep the child—a miracle in a body she’s been told cannot bear. She moves in with her grandmother, who openly admits her own mistakes and encourages the younger women to break free from the rigid ideals she once enforced. This candid sharing becomes a turning point, allowing Sitara to see that honesty, however painful, is the only way forward.

Determined to rewrite the script, Sitara travels to Singapore to find Arjun. She offers a sincere apology and proposes that they raise the baby together, regardless of who the father is. Arjun, still wounded but still caring, realizes his love for Sitara is stronger than his anger over the hidden night; he agrees to move past the betrayal and focus on parenthood.

A year later, under the same roof where generations of secrets lingered, Sitara and Arjun finally exchange vows. The ceremony, held at the grandmother’s home, is both a celebration and a reckoning: Lata, still raw, refuses to forgive Govind but does accept Hema’s apology, and Sitara reads a poem her mother wrote for her own wedding—a tender reminder of love’s fragility and its capacity to heal. The film closes on the soft wail of the newborn’s cry, a sound that seals the couple’s new beginning and underscores the story’s message that breaking free from old patterns can create room for a different, hopeful future.
