The episode begins on the set of a talk show as the hostess, played by Lillete Dubey introduces her guest, Shakthi Seshadri. It is mentioned that even though the entire nation knows this powerful woman, nobody knows the real version of her. As Shakthi is asked if she was a normal child, she is lost for words and starts remembering the early days when on one hand, she was the best in her school, be it studies or extra-curricular, while on the other hand, she was neglected and dominated by her mother at home.
