Shabnam, was born to a police personnel in Mumbai. <br><br>

The story begins with her birth and the amount of pressure the parents undergo to hide their discomfort at the birth of a child. The parents eventually give vent to their misfortune by asking eunuchs to partake the child during the naming ceremony and take it away. <br><br>

The child then grows under the influence and cultures of these eunuchs who are her daily companions, friends and parents. She grows up to be a dancer and obviously has to perform her duties as a Eunuch. <br><br>

She runs away from Mumbai and takes refuge in Madhya Pradesh. There are real life incidents which have actually taken place in her life that have been depicted here and how she rises to power is the story of the film.<br><br>

Today, Shabnam Mausi (<b>Ashutosh Rana</b>) as she is popularly known, is a very learned person. She is proficient in 14 different languages, which will make us proud. The grit and determination she has shown to overcome the evils of the society and how the society has now accepted her as a part and parcel, is the essence of the film.
