Plot

Virrudh's story revolves around Vasudha who is torn between her father Dhirendra Raisinghania and her love Sushant. Dhirendra is a power hungry media baron who has political connections and is passionate about his newspaper business entitled "Dainik Darpan". Vasudha blindly trusts her father's innocent make believe identity and is unaware of his dark past. Astound by his daughters' loyalty, Dhirendra decides to get her to lead his business in the future but is in constant fear that his secret bearers will reveal his evildoings to her, hence devastating his future plans. His secret bearers include some of his own family members, Sushant (Vasudha's fiancée and the chief crime reporter of Dainik Darpan) and his mother, and his political associate Sinha.
