Shagun is the story of two cousins, Aradhana and Aarti, brought up together and so close to each other that one hardly needs words to convey her thoughts to the other.
Aarti is an optimist - she believes that she has what it takes to touch the stars, if she desires. Aradhana, however, considers herself unlucky.
Gayatri, Aradhana’s widowed mother, is dependent on her brother-in-law, Kailashnath. He is Aarti’s father and the head of a traditional joint family, comprising Gayatri, Aradhana, his wife Rajrani and Aarti.
Sharda bua, Kailashnath’s sister, also lives with them. Aarti and Aradhana love her a lot.
Despite being brought up in a traditional Agarwal family, the two girls dare to dream and fall in love. But the stars often ordain things that are beyond human choice: Suraj, the man Aarti is in love with, falls in love with Aradhana.
Shagun is a story of fortune’s twists and pitfalls, which tear asunder the lives of two cousins tied together by a bond of love
