Without proper fluent English, Ramesh's dream job was eluding him. A frustrated and dejected Ramesh returns to his village and breaks down before his only living guardian, his Dadi. He also partly blames her for not having educated him in an English medium school. Dadi is unmoved and simply tells him that he will have to do something on his own instead of wasting time and energy looking for that job that is constantly eluding him. Ramesh notices a young boy come and buy murabbas from his grandmother and decides to sell murabbas as well, in order to help him learn spoken English.

'Shrimati' is the story of a middle class, conservative housewife, who falls prey to society's glitz and glamour and in the bargain, loses her own identity. In today's malevolent world, where the outer appearance means everything, this middle-aged lady falls victim to the clichéd problem of overall personality and outward appearance that irks all the minds - from teenagers to adults and beyond. She becomes obsessed and, in the process,, almost loses her mind and identity till the sudden realization that - irrespective of the way people think and the way the world goes - one should never forget the soul that dwells within. For it is not about the length or texture of your hair or how perfect your bumps are, but about the kind of person you are and the number of people who love you solely for your nature. She finally gains confidence and self-respect in her own skin and gets ready to take on the world with new vigor and a new "her".
