Based on celebrated author Manju Kapur's bestseller novel 'A Married Woman', the show narrates the beautiful story of Astha and Peeplika. Set in the nineteen nineties, the story revolves around Astha, an ideal wife, daughter-in-law, and a perfect mother; who has everything a woman can hope from her marriage- a responsible husband, in-laws, and two children, yet she feels incomplete as an individual. Breaking the normal society's norms, she sets out on a journey of self-discovery. Thus ensues the story and the journey of a married woman. Peeplika, on the other hand, is a complete contrast, an artist who's never been interested in anything the least bit conventional who helps her explore her path on self-discovery.
