The highs and lows

The initial years were blissful for the couple but a relationship becomes strong only after facing some hardships. 5 years down the lane, Shekhar and Alka started witnessing the difficulties of life. Shekhar had no work and Alka was the only breadwinner of the family. If that wasn't enough, their elder son, Ayush was diagnosed with endocardial myofibrosis and his condition was critical. Ayush passed away and left a permanent dent in the lives of those who loved him.
