Mona Singh and Barun Sobti steal the spotlight with their powerful performances

In the show, 'Garundi' tries to handle his wife, 'Silky'; however things become difficult when his sister-in-law starts living with them. He once had an affair with her. Barun Sobti beautifully portrays the frustration of taking orders from women- from wife at home and from 'Dhanwant' at work.
