Plot
The story focuses on Dharampal's twin daughters, Garima and Susheela, who go against all odds to fight the patriarchal society and run Kaatelal and Sons, their ancestral salon.
Jagat Seth, who wants to own all the shops of Haathi Bazaar where Kaatelal & Sons are found, has a dispute with Dharampal and decides to avenge him. Thus, Dharampal is gravely injured in an accident plotted by Jagat, fracturing his right hand. This is where the life-journey of Dharampal's twin daughters Garima and Susheela starts. They disguise themselves as Gunnu & Sattu, orphan twin boys, (because of the patriarchal society and their father not accepting the fact that girls are allowed to work). They receive help from their cousin brother Puttu and start running the salon of their ancestors, Kaatelal & Sons.
Meanwhile, Garima falls for Vikram, Jagat's younger brother, and Dr Pramod, who is Dharampal's orthopedist, falls for Susheela. Pramod learns Gunnu and Sattu's reality and encourages and supports them. Jagat's spy steals ₹1.5 Lakh from the Ruhail house and frames Sattu. Garima and Susheela find their money in 24 hours with the help of Vikram and Pramod but can't catch the thief as Jagat managed to save him. The police arrive with the money. Sattu comes and breaks all ties with the family. Now Vikram, on Jagat's orders, deceptively makes Dharampal sign a document that says that he is giving away Kaatelal and Sons to Jagat. Garima comes to know this and insults him in the Haathi Bazaar. She cuts all ties with Vikram and so does the Bazaar.
Meanwhile, Garima realizes her dream to become a hairdresser and Kusum, their mother finds out the truth about Gunnu and Sattu and starts supporting them secretly. Dharampal makes Gunnu Sattu 10% partner in Kaatelal. Susheela acts as Goddess Durga at night and tells her father that he should respect females or she would be angry. So he allows ladies in Kaatelal and Sons.
Later Jagat is threatened by his boss that he has been removed from his job because he is unable to destroy Haathi Bazaar. He becomes furious and decides to set Kaatelal & Sons and the whole Haathi Market on fire, not knowing that Garima and Susheela are inside. They fight with him and save Kaatelal & Sons and the whole Haathi Bazaar from him again. Later Inspector Agni Rajawat asks them to narrate the full story in the police station. He comes to know everything and assures them that Jagat has done a crime and he can be sent to jail only if the eyewitnesses are presented in the court. Garima and Susheela agree but become anxious to know that their father Dharampal and the whole Haathi market will be there, While protecting Haathi Bazaar, Garima's wig slips down without realizing that Jagat is seeing everything . When they return to home Jagat calls Garima, tells her that he was the actual mastermind behind Dharampal's accident. Garima record's everything in her phone and then he blackmails that he will reveal Gunnu -Sattu's reality in front of everyone if they will come tomorrow in the court for the hearing. Both the girls become emotional and decide to let it happen because sending Jagat to jail was even important for them instead of Gunnu-Sattu's reality. Jagat sends his goons to stop Garima - Susheela from entering the court, they still succeed and they reveal Jagat Seth and Gunnu-Sattu's reality to everyone. Judge decides to send Jagat to jail for 2 years. Impressed by the sisters story, Inspector Agni Rajawat develops a crush on Garima. Dharampal again bans girls in his salon and takes away their scissors in the name of Guru dakshina and tries to separate the twins by arranging Susheela and Pramod's wedding as soon as possible. However, the girls doesn't loose hope. Meanwhile, Agni accidently assumes that Pramod and Garima are getting married and gets furious which is truly wrong.
