Janhit Mein Jaari

Manokamna "Mannu" Tripathi (Nushrratt Bharuccha) is an ambitious and smart girl who lives with her parents, two younger sisters and a younger brother. She is adored by her childhood friend Devi, who is in love with her but never expresses it in front of her. To escape the pressure from her family to get married, Mannu takes a high-paying job as a sales executive at a condom manufacturing factory, which Devi joins later. She excels at her job despite the hurdles. She soon meets and falls in love with Ranjan Prajapati, a freelance nautanki artist who lives in a joint family led by his overbearing father, Keval Prajapati. Mannu and Ranjan bribe the Pandit to make their matrimonial alliance seem an arranged marriage as Keval is against love marriage. After the wedding, Ranjan's family finds out the true nature of Mannu's work and forces her to quit the job. Mannu starts selling plastic boxes; one of her colleagues undergoes abortion, as decided by the village's Nyaya panchayat, and dies of infection. This shocks Mannu who decides to return to her previous job and use it as a means to create awareness for safe sex, as it's only women who suffer the emotional, physical and mental consequences. Her father-in-law, who is contesting municipality elections, summons her parents and asks Mannu to a divorce. Mannu confronts Ranjan for not standing up for her and willing to divorce her despite his love for her and only to please his father. Ranjan promises to stand up to his father.
