Insia Malik, a 15-year-old girl, lives with her Gujarati Muslim family in Baroda: her mother Najma, brother Guddu, paternal grandmother, and her father Farookh who often beats his wife. Insia is very passionate about singing but her father is against her dream of being a singer. Though Insia cannot participate in a music competition, Najma gifts Insia a laptop which was the prize. She records a song wearing a niqab, so Farookh can't find out her identity, and uploads the video on YouTube under the name of 'Secret Superstar'. She becomes an overnight sensation and grabs the attention of Shakti Kumar, a talented but pretentious music director based in Mumbai. He requests Insia to record a song, but she refuses as she hears a lot of negative reviews of him. On her family's rooftop, Chintan, her friend who is in Love with her , reveals that he knows Insia is the Secret Superstar. He confesses his love to her which makes her blush. Due to her poor test grade, Farookh rips out all the strings from her guitar. The next night, after discovering that Najma sold a valuable necklace to buy Insia's laptop, Farookh slaps and beats her and tells Insia to throw out the laptop. Insia gets so angry that she snatches the laptop and drops it from the balcony where it falls and shatters on the street. Najma looks on, shocked. After seeing a famous female lawyer on TV who won a divorce case against Shakti Kumar, Insia persuades Kumar to arrange a meeting with his ex-wife's lawyer. The lawyer prepares papers for Najma to sign, and gives them to Insia. Later, Insia agrees to record a song in Kumar's studio. After fleeing from school with help from Chintan, she declares her love for him. In Mumbai, she is unable to sing a certain party song, as she feels the song is too much like a remix of another song. Insia tells this to Kumar who reveals that it is a remix. He tells her about the original version which was launched ten years ago. Insia decides to sing the original version which moves everyone to tears. After singing the song, her fame grows and she is nominated for the Best Female Singer. Insia gives her mother to divorce papers to sign, but her mother angrily rejects Insia's demand that her parents divorce. Insia becomes frustrated with her mother, but later forgives her, after her grandmother reveals how Najma struggled to keep Insia alive despite Farookh's efforts to have her aborted. After Farookh is offered the job in Riyadh, Insia is incredulous when she realises that her mother knew all along that her father intended to move the entire family to Saudi Arabia. Farookh also makes it known to Insia that he plans to marry her off to his friend's son. Devastated, Insia gives up her dream of singing and deletes her YouTube channel. Farookh confirms their departure on the last day of Insia's exams. On the final day of school, Insia and Chintan spend their last joyful moments together. At the airport, a counter clerk informs Farookh that he will be charged an additional fee for transporting an extra bag. Farookh spots Insia's guitar case. Unwilling to pay the extra fee, he demands that Insia throw the guitar in the nearest trash can. Farookh then begins berating Najma. After initially holding back her emotions, Najma finally stands up for herself and boldly protests. Najma then unpacks the divorce papers, signs them, and then thrusts them into Farookh's hands. Najma then marches out of the airport with her kids in tow leaving Farookh yelling and pounding his fists behind airport security doors. Najma borrows a stranger's cell phone and asks Insia to contact Kumar. All three ultimately end up at the awards ceremony where Insia has been nominated for Best Female Singer. Unfortunately, Secret Superstar does not win the award. But the winner, Monali Thakur, graciously offers Insia her award believing she rightfully deserved it. Thakur then urges Insia to come on stage to claim the award, but Insia just sits stunned in her seat,still in her niqab. Kumar stands up and calls attention to Insia's presence in the audience and a spotlight shines on Insia. Once onstage, Insia dedicates her award to her mother and proclaims her the true 'Secret Superstar' since Najma supported and fought for Insia even before her birth. The screen fades to a message dedicating the movie "To Mothers And Motherhood." Later, Shakti releases a cheesy party song on YouTube dedicated to Insia.
