Hi Nanna

Hi Nanna

Six-year-old Mahi lives in Mumbai with her father Viraj, a successful fashion photographer, her grandfather, and their pet dog, Pluto. Mahi has cystic fibrosis, a fatal genetic condition, and Viraj dedicates his life to her demanding medical care. Whenever Mahi inquires about her absent mother, Viraj avoids the topic. Upset by his evasion, Mahi runs away from home with Pluto. A woman named Yashna rescues them from a potential traffic accident. At Mahi's pleading, Yashna invites Viraj to a restaurant, where she and Mahi convince him to tell the story of Mahi's mother, Varsha. To make the story easier for herself, Mahi imagines Yashna as Varsha as Virat narrates the story. A young Virat meets Varsha in Coonoor. Disillusioned by her parents' bitter divorce, Varsha is initially closed off to love, but she eventually overcomes her fears and marries Viraj despite her mother's fierce objections. Though they initially struggle financially, they are happy. As Viraj's photography career takes off, he expresses a desire for a child. A hesitant Varsha eventually agrees, but their joy turns to profound sorrow when Mahi is born with a chronic illness. Devastated, Varsha suffers a breakdown, blames Viraj for the situation, and openly regrets their marriage. Hearing this, an upset Mahi asks her father to stop the story. Privately, a visibly emotional Yashna urges Viraj to finish.
