There in the mirror, I see a shining star.
My mother's joy, my father's pride.
And then I see something else:
I see me.
Divya is scared to put on the bindi for the first time. What if she gets made fun of? What will it feel like? But Amma is there to reassure her. Together they look inside Amma's special box to find the perfect bindi. And as Divya gazes in the mirror she discovers a new side of herself.
She is stronger than ever.
