Meera ( Ayesha Takia), a young woman who becomes a widow shortly after marriage, is trapped by tradition. Zeenat ( Gul Panag), on the other hand, faces the daunting task of saving the life of her husband, who is on trial for murder. A bahuroopiya ( Shreyas Talpade) helps her reach Meera, who holds the "string" to Zeenat's hope. The companionship that develops between Meera and Zeenat results in redemption for both.
