When their families find out about their relationship, Chotu, Shera's sharp shooting kid brother carries out his father's orders to kill Reshma's father and her recently married brother.
This mindless act of violence brings forth a new cycle of animosity and conflict. Shera vows to avenge the death of Reshma's family members by eliminating Chotu, but this will only cause the cycle of violence to spiral out of control.
