Sapna Suhane Ladakpan Ke is essentially the story of Gunjan, a young, free spirited, urban teenager (17 years of age) who is thrown into the world of bereavement with her mother Sneha being diagnosed with cancer and succumbing to the fatal illness. Gunjan has the option to move to Australia with her businessman father but her maternal aunt Shail decides to take her to Banaras where she lives along with her husband Dayal, her younger daughter Rachna and two young sons.
Gunjan hailing from Mumbai and having lived in a nuclear family finds it a mammoth task to settle down in a small town where she has to even share her room with Rachna. Rachna is very much unlike Gunjan. She wears lose fitted salwars, does not have her eyebrows done and is not only reserved but is somewhat awkward from the urban perspective. She has been taught to stay numb despite any situations in the family whereas Gunjan is someone who speaks her mind without caring much about the reception her thoughts may have at the mercy of other family members. The two young teenagers (Rachna is 16) are poles apart but Rachna finds Gunjan fascinating and someone who is not from her world. Their disparities make way for cousin love and they try to overcome their mutual differences. What lies in the lives of these two young lives? In a town where Dayal wanted a son and instead was greeted by Rachna, Gunjan who could have had an even more urban lifestyle Down Under but now is stuck with her relatives with a window to nowhere, what shall be the fate of the two young souls? Sapne Suhane Ladakpan Ke takes you on a journey never treaded before and relationships that are hardly explored.
