Like most youngsters today, Navya has middle class parents, who constantly struggle between being parents and friends to their children.
Her friends enjoy better freedom at home - one of them also has a boyfriend and Navya secretly wishes for one who would do mushy things for her, yet she is happy in her own world. As luck would have it, Navya falls in love with Anant, a boy hailing from a traditional and conservative family.
