Plot
[edit]Season 1
[edit]IAS Sundari Devi alias Sundari is the story of a girl who faces discrimination for her dark complexion, yet she fights against adversities in life. She has a kind heart but struggles to find the right man to marry. Undeterred, she strives to become an IAS officer. Her journey towards achieving her goal faces many challenges, strengthening her belief that inner beauty is more important than physical appearance, which forms the crux of the story. Karthick, who is from Sundari's village and her relative, marries her due to pressure from his family but desires to marry a fair-skinned woman for life. It also features the fair-skinned urban girl, Anupriya alias Anu, who is modern, empowered, and waiting for a loving and sincere partner. Karthick marries Anu and abandons Sundari.
Anu is made a scapegoat and invalidated to validate potential in village woman, Sundari. She's not allowed to make her own decisions by scapegoating her over her health issues. However, Karthick is shown in a better light of wanting to have a family with Anu for her skin complexion that he also falls for her sincere love. Yet he is perverse and manipulates her for his selfish desires because of his fantasies.
