[edit] Synopsis

The story begins with Priyanka Sethi's return to India from the United States with her mother. Soon, she has problems adjusting in an alien environment as she feels she is not in synch with situations.

The story revolves around Priyanka’s friends, Malini, Ambika (known as Bikki) and Kajal (known as KJ), how they accept her and how the four go on to create a band of their own, called Pink Band. Fights are sparked off due to different mindsets of the band members. To make life worse for them, Koel, the queen bee of the school, is jealous of them and leaves no stone unturned to prove that she is the best.
