Experiencing Interruptions?

Ae Akasha Tale ( Under This Sky )

Sthiti Mohapatra, daughter of an IAS officer is a carefree, lazy, and irresponsible yet undeniably talented young woman. Her father has always been her world, expecting her to follow his footsteps but Sthiti has no plans for her future. Everything changes when Sthiti discovers that her father once yearned for a son. Determined to prove her worth Sthiti embarks on a challenging road trip across her state—a journey she never imagined she would undertake. Equipped with little more than her wits and a “silver spoon” upbringing, she faces numerous obstacles that test her resilience and adaptability. As Sthiti navigates through diverse landscapes, various people and different ideas, she begins to uncover deeper truths about herself and her homeland. The journey forces her to step out of her comfort zone, confront her fears, and embrace responsibilities she had long avoided and ultimately realising the importance of a character beyond gender.
