She lands her first job at a high-end restaurant owned by Aishwarya and her business partner, Vikrant.
Unbeknownst to them, Mannat and Aishwarya share a deep, hidden connection - Aishwarya is the one who abandoned Mannat at birth. When Aishwarya discovers Mannat's disadvantaged background and the growing bond between Mannat and Vikrant, she fires Mannat. However, Vikrant sees Mannat's potential and culinary talent, re-hiring her despite Aishwarya's opposition. This sparks a fierce rivalry, as Aishwarya fears Mannat will not only steal the spotlight but also capture Vikrant's attention, further complicating their already strained relationship. As destiny whips up a course of colliding ambitions and family secrets, will Mannat's recipe for success triumph over her mother's bitter opposition?
