Plot

Tanya Sharma, known as Toasty, is an intelligent schoolteacher in love with a kindhearted man named Tej Chaturvedi. Though Tej's family has no women in it (all seven family members are men who hate women) the family eventually agrees to their marriage and the wedding takes place. Toasty then finds herself in a family in which there is a Dadaji (grandfather), Pitaji (father) and five brothers, Tej being the middle one.

The reason the men of the house hate women is because the eldest brother, Pashu, was married to a woman named Malti, who left him because she felt she was being treated as a maid. Toasty and Tej get Pashu and Maalti back together since it is evident that they miss each other. As Maalti and Pashu are reunited, the family accepts Maalti back into the household, and the family is finally complete. Soon after Pashu and Tej have fights between their own business and Tej opens his separate saree shop which has more income the shop of Pashu. Later they have a competition in which Tej wins and he goes to Pune to get sarees for his shop. But the family was unaware of this fact earlier, as to help Pashu Toasty made Pashu win, and Tej lost the game, and as per the bet Tej had to close his shop- as Pashu's shop was the actual and the old shop of the family-but when he got to now that Toasty lied, he got angry and revealed the truth. After they got to know that where Tej was, it is told on the news that the bus that Tej boarded had met with an accident. Toasty, Pashu and Ved go to the spot of accident to find Tej, but in vain. Just as they lose hope Toasty finds Tej surprisingly, in a hospital. Thus, they all are reunited. It was told that Pitaji was gone to meet his dying friend during that time . When Toasty realizes that her best friend, Nitika, is in love with Ved, Tej's second-older brother, she promises to get Nitika and Ved married. She promises to get Nitika and Ved married. Though Ved is attracted to Nitika, he is torn between her and his wish to become a priest. So, Toasty brings in one of her friends,Damini, who is an aspiring actress. Damini plays the role of a pious woman in front of Ved, and tries her best to win his heart. Then suddenly, when the family is having dinner, Dadaji proposes that Damini should marry Ved. But Ved refuses, and when Tej asks him the name of the woman he loves, he reveals his feelings for Nitika. Now, everyone is happy for Ved and convince him to propose to Nitika but before marriage can occur, Pitaji brings in Kia, his recently-deceased friend's daughter, and reveals that he promised his friend that Kia would to Ved. At the same time, Kia, a villainous brat who smokes and drinks, is hell-bent on marrying Ved, as that is the only way she can access the money and property her father left her in his will. On the night of Ved and Nitika's marriage, Kia interferes by taking Nitika's place on the altar. In a final confrontation, Ved ultimately decides to marry Kia, to fulfill his father's wishes. Heartbroken, Nitika leaves as Ved and Kiya get married, much to the disgust of all the Chaturvedi family except Pitaji. Toasty tries her best to reveal Kia's truth to her family after finding out that not only does she smoke and drink, but has also been married before to a man named Jai Malhotra. After several efforts, Toasty is finally able to expose Kia to the family. Caught red-handed, Kia is thrown out of the house, the episode ends with Ved asking the Mangalsutra back from Kia, as she does not deserve that, while Pitaji apologizes to the family for breaking up Nitika and Ved's marriage.

With Kia no longer in the house, the family tries to rearrange the marriage of Ved and Nitika, but Nitika's family is disapproving, because of what happened last time, and plan to get Nitika married with someone else as soon as possible. Thus, the Chaturvedi family gets to know that and makes a plan to make Nitika to run away and get married to Ved. This plan becomes successful and Nitika and Ved get finally married. Though Nitika's family gets angry, they are forced to leave, as there is nothing else left for them to do. Nitika and Ved begin their happy married life together with the blessings of the Chaturvedi family. After Nitika's marriage she wants to continue her job, but the rules of the house forbids her to do so, but at last Pitaji agrees, when toasty calls her; as he is out of station.
