Plot
Swaabhimaan divulges the story of an attractive woman - Svetlana - who finds herself in a battle where there are no real winners. Insecurity, suspicion and fear threaten to erode her vivacious spirit as she struggles to come to terms with her position - that of a pampered mistress whose tycoon patron Keshav Malhotra dies leaving her to cope with the ugly aftermath of the tragedy: inheritance wars, succession rights, property entanglements, petty quarrels and above all, emotional turmoil that threatens to destroy her.{{cite news |author= |date=26 July 1999 |title=The show that goes on forever |url=https://www.tribuneindia.com/1998/98jul26/sunday/filmtv.htm |work=Tribune India |location=Chandigarh |access-date=17 October 2023 |archive-date=14 November 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151114185421/http://www.tribuneindia.com/1998/98jul26/sunday/filmtv.htm |url-status=live }}
