Vikram, a married man under pressure in the real world inadvertently turns to the Internet to escape reality. He frequents chat rooms engaging with strangers. He meets five women and in a short time their lives start intertwining with his. Each one of them influences his life to change it in ways he never thought possible. He has a similar effect on each of these simple yet wonderful women. From confessing about their innermost fantasies to taking him on a roll coaster ride of spirituality, they start blurring reality. What begins as an escape route for Vikram fast becomes a journey of self-discovery. But among them is one who gets very close to him. It’s almost like she has known him forever. There is a strange familiarity about her and yet she remains a mystery. She becomes the biggest influence in his life. Then one day, just before his wife discovers that she is pregnant, this mysterious woman disappears. Vikram is shattered because this lost woman was the one who first predicted the pregnancy even when doctors had given up. He wants to know why she left after getting so close to him, he wants to know who she was. Will he ever know? Will anyone ever know? Seven Shades of Grey represents the seven women that influence Vikram; five he meets on the Internet, the other two are his wife and his new-born daughter. It’s a fictional story of lives intertwined and reality blurred. In this age of being connected across the world in real time, do we remain real at all? Do we even need to?
