'Barf di Bulbul' (The Ice Nightingale) is the story of a successful doctor. After a lifetime spent healing others and sacrificing himself for his family, Dr. Manjinder Singh Khela is left exhausted and deeply lonely. When Savi enters his life, she brings unexpected warmth and companionship—but her presence also threatens the interests of those closest to him.
