In modern Mumbai, young widow Ratna (Tillotama Shome) gets a job as a live-in maid for Ashwin (Vivek Gomber), a young man from a wealthy home, who is engaged to be married.

However, Ratna has a dream to find a better life for herself. She wants to become a tailor, despite it being a male-dominated profession. When Ashwin's carefully arranged wedding to family friend Sabina falls apart, Ratna seems to be the only one who understands Ashwin's deep melancholy. Ashwin slowly begins to fall in love with Ratna, whose drive and courage make her very different from the spoiled wealthy women his family wants to set him up with.
