Summary

The story revolves around two protagonists: Sagar Koli "SK", a successful CEO, and his neighbor, Dr. Mukta Gokhale, a pediatric dentist who, due to a medical condition, is unable to have children. At first, Sagar and Mukta clash due to their strong egos. Sagar's troubled past has left him cynical about love and relationships, while Mukta remains optimistic. With their contrasting personalities and unwavering beliefs, finding common ground proves to be a challenge. Nevertheless, fate intervenes, and they are destined to fall in love. As Sagar's perspective undergoes a transformation through his interactions with Mukta, and as Mukta begins to see the genuine Sagar behind his tough exterior, their paths eventually converge through Sai, Sagar's daughter from his ex-wife Savni.

Plot

The series is set in Mumbai and focuses on the lives of two next-door neighbors, Dr. Mukta Gokhale, a pediatric dentist, and Sagar Koli "SK", a CEO. Mukta befriends Sai after rescuing her from an accident, but she's shocked by Sagar's harsh treatment of Sai. By chance, Mukta meets Pranav at her nephew's thread ceremony, sparking memories of their college romance, and her infertility leading to Pranav canceling their wedding. When Sagar returns from Goa, he avoids meeting Sai due to a painful past with his wife, Savni, who cheated on him with his former boss, Harshavardhan. Mukta agrees to an arranged marriage with Pratik. Meanwhile, Mihir and Mihika try to gain approval from their families for their relationship, but both families reject it. Mukta tries to convince Sagar to support them, but he refuses.

Sai gets locked inside a room during The Bussiness Excellence Award Ceremony, and Mukta comes to her rescue, leading to a misunderstanding with Sagar. Sharmila gives Sai an extra dose of expired cough syrup which leads to Mukta taking Sai to the hospital without informing Sagar's family. Sagar files a police complaint against Mukta. Madhavi and Purushottam get arrested during the engagement ceremony. Mukta breaks ties with Pratik after discovering his true colours. Sagar regrets misunderstanding Mukta after learning the truth about Sai's condition. Harshavardhan manipulates Savni to gain custody of Sai. Chaos ensues when Savni presents legal documents to take Sai. After the court grants them divorce, Sagar tries to gain custody of Sai, but the court rules in favor of Savni.

Sagar encounters a challenging situation when his client, Rohit, and Rohit's wife, Revati, mistakenly assume Mukta to be his wife. Sagar persuades Mukta to pretend to be his spouse, and she agrees to assist for Sai's sake. Later, Mihir invites Rohit to the Diwali festival celebrations at Shanti Niwas Apartments. During the event, Rohit and Revati meet Sagar's family. Eventually, Mukta, Sagar, and Sai celebrate the Diwali festival together, experiencing great joy as a family.

Madhavi locks Indra in a storeroom and angrily confronts Sagar for involving Mukta to pretend to be his wife. Subsequently, Indra, who suffers from claustrophobia, falls unconscious. The watchmen inform Sagar when the entire Koli family starts searching for her. Mihir claims to have seen Madhavi near the storeroom. This leads to a clash between Sagar and Mukta. Later, Madhavi confesses her actions to Lucky, who reassures her not to worry. Mihika discovers Madhavi's involvement in locking Indra and attempts to apologize to Mihir, reaching out to him at a restaurant.

Mihika is shocked by Mihir's malicious act of circulating her viral video to defame her, unaware that it was actually orchestrated by Lucky seeking revenge on Mihir. Sagar defends Mihir when Mukta and Mayuresh accuses him of spreading obscene videos of Mihika. Mukta vows to assist Savni in winning the custody case. During the custody court proceedings, Sai expresses her wish to stay with Mukta rather than the Kolis or Savni. Mukta tells the judge to grant paternal custody to whoever will keep Sai happy. Jayant and Purushottam decide to unite Mukta and Sagar in marriage for the sake of Sai.
