Tunte tells the story of Tunte, a young, cheerful, and lively village girl who dreams of becoming a fashion designer. She has a natural talent for creating beautiful clothes and wishes to make a name for herself in the world of fashion. However, her simple background and family circumstances make this dream seem far from reach.
Her life takes a major turn when she crosses paths with Somraj, a successful businessman who is practical, ambitious, and initially unable to understand Tunte’s free-spirited nature. Despite their differences, destiny brings them together, and their relationship becomes the central focus of the series.
As Tunte enters Somraj’s life, she not only faces challenges in adjusting to his world but also has to prove her worth in pursuing her passion for fashion design. The story beautifully captures her journey of self-discovery, resilience, and love, while highlighting the conflicts between dreams, family responsibilities, and societal expectations.
