Amoli is shattered when she learns that her best friend Kaumudi has been mortgaged to a local thakur (moneylender) since her father wanted to raise money for her wedding.

Following a locust attack on a standing crop belonging to her family, Amoli discovers that her father's condition is no different from the rest of the debt-ridden farmers in the region.

'When the thakur of the village lays his sights on the virginal Amoli and expresses his desire for her in exchange of money for her father's debt, the morals that Amoli has been raised with give her the strength to stand for herself and fight it out against the people who demand compromise and submission from her' - this is the introduction to the tele-serial.

'What do they mean by making such statements? That all young girls and widows in the region have been subject to such tactics by the moneylenders here? Yes, the farmers have suffered because of their economic backwardness, but it never reflected on the other family members,' Tiwari explained.

He said that this week a foreign television called up VJAS and wanted to get details of young girls and women who were 'mortgaged' to moneylenders.

Tiwari said his organization has taken strong umbrage at this 'snide character assassination' of the women and their daughters who have become victims of the system.

'If such insensitive things are portrayed on television before huge audiences, it will directly hit the marriage prospects of the young girls, creating further social problems here,' he pointed out.
