Overview
Aarohan takes place in a make believe scenario about women cadets joining Indian Navy (as women could not join combat force in Indian Navy then). It followed their lives and their training in the Naval Academy. The 13-episode series ended with a climax where cadets dealt with a war-like scenario.
The show's lead is a headstrong, passionate defence forces girl, Nikita. Her father (Satyen Kappu) and brother (Amit Behl) are in the Indian Army. She has a shy friend (Shefali Shah), who joins the academy with her.
