The episode opens with a sense of foreboding. We are introduced to the three Dixit sisters: Bani (played brilliantly by Prachi Desai), Pia, and Rano. The setting is Mount Abu, a serene hill station, but peace is short-lived. The episode establishes the central tragedy early on: the sudden death of their parents in a horrific accident. This event is the catalyst for the entire series. It strips the sisters of their safety net and sets them on a path of survival.
