Anusual is the story of Anu Aggarwal, the dusky Delhi girl who went to Bombay and became an internatonal model, and then a star with her very first Bollywood movie, Ashiqui only to chuck it all and join a yogashram. Coming back to Bombay, she was involved in a horrifying car crash that put her in a coma for twenty-nine days.
