He committed his love to one woman. And fell in love with another.
Pritish Nandy Communications' first offering for the year is a romance
unlike any other. Inspired by the events of his life, Vikram Bhatt puts
to celluloid a film after his own heart, Ankahee.
The truth is that Shekhar (Aftab Shivdasani) was a common man. Happily
married to his wife Nandita (Ameesha Patel) of several years. The relationship
was sealed as special by the coming of their child. They were a happy
family. Till one day, the reigning Miss World and Bollywood's biggest
star, Kavya Krishna (Esha Deol), walked into his hospital armed with
a slit wrist and what Shekhar believed to be, true love.
Kavya was beautiful, stunning in fact. She was smart and alive and
Shekhar, like the rest of the world, fell in love with her. Days hurried
past as he cleared the rest of his life, his wife, his daughter, his
friends, his work to make way for his love. Nothing was more important
than Kavya and his need to be her constant.
Kavya Krishna. The reigning Miss World. The most beautiful woman in
the world. Or maybe the most beautiful woman in a pageant of 60 girls.
Bollywood's biggest upcoming star. Beautiful. Powerful. Successful.
Alone. Lonely in a world where she was the most popular woman. For her
Shekhar was the lifeline, she'd always sought. Her anchor. Her man.
The only person in the world who could make her happy. And Kavya wanted,
needed, struggled to be happy.
Nandita, of course, was the woman stuck in the middle. Shekhar was
her husband. The only man she'd ever loved. And yet, he'd found it only
too easy to walk away. From her. From their home. And from Sheena, their
6 year old daughter.
Ankahee is about the truths that were left unspoken between a man,
his wife and his daughter. And the lies that need to be uncovered.
It is a film about brutal love, deception, betrayal and the desperate
loneliness that accompanies all three
