If they share a caring relationship, will they start hating each other? Or if they can't stand each other but tie Rakhi in an auspicious hour, will they start liking each other?

All the news channels and the newspapers had only one topic to discuss, only one topic to write about- NITHARI and the brutal murder of its children.
