But her dreams of a flourishing family quickly turn to sorrow and despair. Her hopes for her "boys" is crushed as they fall one after the other, victims of the Emergency, the Khalistan Movement and Mandal Commission.

The Ram Mandir agitation is the last straw. Determined not to succumb to the pressures of a charged and hostile communal environment, Damyanti finally decides to live up to her legacy of being a doctor from pre-independence India. Combatting her overwhelming guilt for her lack of strength and a failed sense of judgement, Damyanti finally believes she has found an opportunity to redeem all past wrongs by helping right her grandson's life.
