Synopsis

Sanjher Baati showcases a sweet and beautiful love story filled with emotions, conflicts, and heartwarming moments. The show traces the lives of Charu and Arjoman and their journey of rising above norms that define relationships. At the core of the story is the relationship between the protagonists and how they both go to lengths to fulfill each other's dreams and complement each other in pursuing their passion. Charu, a simple attractive village girl, becomes an object of envy for her stepmother, Jhumpa, and stepsister Chumki. With kindness and courage as her biggest strengths, she endures all hardships inflicted by them with a smile. Charu harbors a dream to fulfill her passion for making sweets. She yearns to open her sweet shop but due to circumstances, fails to do so. Fate intervenes when she gets married to Arjoman(a blind man), son of North Kolkata's Mullick family, the well-known sweet makers of the city, and begins a love story like no other.

After Arjo and Charu's marriage, Jhumpa, Chumki, and Sohini start plotting to separate them, but they stay united after overcoming millions of obstacles. However, one day, Arjo encounters a terrible accident after he is pushed from the stairs and he went into a coma. Charu is framed and thus, Mollika throws her out of the house. Charu decides to donate her eyes to Arjo to regain his consciousness, and so she fakes her death due to a terrible accident. Dejected by Charu's demise, the Mullicks, according to Sohini's request, introduces Mishmi as Charu to Arjo, after he regains his sight, to hide the truth. After regaining consciousness, Charu refuses to return to the Mullicks and continues to stay with Dr. Banerjee and his sister Amrita(Angshu's love interest), and his daughter Chini(actually it was Angshu and Amrita's daughter). One day, Arjo meets real Charu, unaware that it is his wife, and Charu too hides her identity and adopts a new name, Chandrima. Charu opens a blind school and Arjo cooperates with her. Meanwhile, Arjo and Charu come closer, which makes Mishmi realize that Chandrima is the real Charu and so she decides to kill her, with the help of her father Surjasekhar, who was Mullick's closest enemy and a named criminal. Arjo later identifies Charu and joins Charu's plan. Mishmi and Surjasekhar plots to destroy the Mulicks and Charu along with Amrita disguise themselves to ruin their plan. They kill Charu's father and attempted to kill Charu, but she is rescued by Arjo and thus after her brain surgery, she regains eyesight. Sohini and her son Ronit, who was also involved in Surjasekhar's plan, reform their ways. The Mullicks unitedly expose Surjasekhar and Mishmi to the police. However, Surjasekhar escapes from the jail, and Mishmi is released due to Ronit's request. Chumki divorces Angshu and he marries Amrita and adopts Chini. Mishmi starts plotting against Charu & Arjo and she bribes the doctor and proves to Arjo that he cannot become a father. This lee ads Arjo to misunderstand Charu's pregnancy, and so Charu leaves the house again. Arjo reforms his ways and brings her back after his requests. She misleads Charu's mother, Sheuli, who was alive, to kill Charu, and adds poison to the sweets in her factory and frames Arjo for the same. After this Surjasekhar kidnaps Chini, Arjo spots him and while trying to escape, he fakes his death in an accident. Later, Sheuli identifies Charu and confesses her crimes. Meanwhile, Surjasekhar returns to kill Charu and he throws a bomb inside Charu's car, which blasts, causing her death. Devastated and agitated, Arjo shoots Surjasekhar and thus gets arrested. Meanwhile, Jhumpa hits Charu, who was lying half-dead on the ground, and snatches her jewellery. Mishmi, her brother Mohit, and Jhumpa plan to impersonate Mishmi's daughter as Charu's daughter. Arjo mourns and laments Charu's death and decides to kill Mishmi and Mohit, after he gets released. On the other hand, Charu is rescued by a stranger named Deepjoy.

After 18 years leap

Arjo is released from jail after serving 14 years and now he lives with a dual identity, as a photographer and a secret agent, Captain Azad.

The Mullicks raise Srimon, unaware that it is Mishmi and Ronit's daughter. At North-Bengal, Arjo arrives for a secret mission and he meets Bhumi on the way, unaware that it is his daughter.
