Shama, blessed with angelic beauty, is doted upon by her parents. But fate plays a cruel game when her mother dies when she’s just four. Her father remarries, but he too, soon passes away. She now lives with her stepmother Shanti, who is married again to a widower who has two sons. In the new foster family, everybody loves Shama and she is thoroughly spoiled, yet, she has nobody to call her own. A headstrong Shama grows up making her own choices and abiding by them, right or wrong. Everyone loves Shama but she is unlucky when it comes to love. A taboo relationship with a reluctant man, a marriage of compromise, a hasty divorce, a remarriage, abandonment—Shama’s life is nothing short of a roller coaster. Beginning in the 1950s and spanning across four decades, Girl of Destiny is a compelling story of life choices, their repercussions and the role of fate.
