Pankhh Hote To Ud Jaati… is about legends being made out of ordinary people.
People see dreams, have aspirations, ambitions, set goals in life. But destiny classifies people in 3 different kinds.
The first kind is the blessed kind. They are able to fulfill their ambitions and dreams. A few setbacks, a few failures but in the end all is fine. These are very few in numbers. These are destiny’s children.
The second kind is who never fulfills their ambitions. Dreams shatter…goals unachieved. Destiny takes over in form of different excuse like circumstances, situation, problems etc. In short life grinds them and day by day all aspirations die a slow death. They accept destiny’s verdict.
Then there is the third kind where destiny takes them through the worst grind. It appears that destiny is their enemy and would just not give this third kind a break. But interestingly even this third kind is persistent, fights back and never gives up. Their dreams and ambitions are never fulfilled. But after years of persistent struggle one realizes that actually destiny had a much larger task laid out for them. Much larger then they could have envisaged. Destiny decided to make legends out of them. The third kind is destiny’s favourite children.
Pankhh Hote To Ud Jaati …is story of making of a legend. It is about Kiran, who thought destiny was her enemy but she too never gave up and struggled till the end. Kiran turned out to be destiny’s most favorite child. Destiny carved a much larger life than she had ever envisaged. She becomes a legend.

Inder and Saroj are disheartened but Inder takes it in his stride and welcomes the new bride. Just as they recover from this shock Atul gives another shock that he is not interested in the father’s business.
