Synopsis

Ambitious about modelling, an attractive and confident Rashmi (25) moves to the metro city Mumbai. One day she gets diagnosed with vitiligo disease that causes white patches on her skin. It creates an inferiority complex in her and makes her depressed. Fearing that people will judge her beauty, she begins to conceal her vitiligo with makeup. During her treatment, she gains weight, which adds to her anxiety, causing her to leave modelling school. With the help of her struggling musician boyfriend, she joins a support group that helps her overcome her inferiority complex and regain confidence.

Writer’s Statement

I once exchanged a handshake with a relative who had vitiligo. It made me nervous, and I began to fear if vitiligo was contagious. This incident motivated me to write this story. I believe that any socio defined prefixed deficiency creates an inferiority complex. When I moved to a metro city, it made me anxious about my roots. I went through an internal struggle, which I believe my protagonist inherited. This story is more about a person overcoming his inferiority complex through vitiligo.
