Hard-hitting display of the life, lust and betrayal of beautiful people having a ball in Delhi.
Set amidst the elite circles of Delhi, Paro follows the enigmatic protagonist as she navigates a labyrinth of desire, ambition and betrayal. Through the sharp and observant eyes of Priya, a keen diarist and confidence, we witness Paro's magnetic allure and the casts of characters drawn into her orbit, each one ensnared by her charm and complexity.
