Ankahee Details

Ankahee

The film begins with an aged Dr Shekhar (Aftab Shivdasani) on his deathbed, longing to see his daughter Sheena (Hrishitaa Bhatt). Prodded by her aging mother (Amisha Patel), the unwilling and unforgiving Sheena pays the last visit to her father. The dying man manages a faint smile at his estranged daughter and passes her a diary that records his life and the incidents that led to his break-off from his wife for a depressed, possessive woman. Henceforth, the story of Dr. Shekhar unspools. A happily married, neatly dressed man, Dr. Shekhar’s world with wife Nandita (Amisha Patel) and little daughter Sheena was near perfect. None could suspect that in his complacent heart lay the seed of betrayal. Shekhar’s married life begins to go for a toss with the coming of Kavya (Esha Deol), an actress and a former beauty queen, who enters Shekhar’s life with her slit wrists and slowly makes the doc her incurable obsession. Shekhar, being an ordinary man with weak fidelity, obviously falls for Kavya. Soon, Kavya’s fling with Shekhar is the talk of the tinsel town. Nandita confronts Shekhar and he submissively admits to his extramarital affair. Nandita is naturally possessive of her husband and she tries everything in her power to save her marriage, but Kavya is manically obsessed about the man. She is a pampered, obstinate, suicidal, poor-rich girl who wouldn’t mind risking her own life to keep her man to herself alone. Torn between the two women, Shekhar decides to split from his wife and his daughter and chooses Kavya over his family. A choice he would regret forever.
