I shall not hear love
Amina decides to marry the groom of her father’s choice in their ancestral house abandoned after the death of her grandmother. Little, was she aware that the house was haunted by a spiritual presence of a Sikh man who starts to appear in her daily routines and dreams. She tries to discover the identity of the ghost but succumbs to her own fears about attaching herself to the bond of marriage. These two fears intermingle with each other to the point where Amina decides to call off her marriage. In a shocking turn of events much to her surprise, she is soon visited by the Sikh man who makes her realise the meaning of true love while taking the next leap with faith rather than fear. That’s why this love story spreads through generations but connects through the fears that stayed engraved even after 75 years of partition.
