Story

The story is based in Allahabad, where men are seen as superior to women, social rights for women are not valued as much, and education for women is not seen as important. However, the Saxena family believes in education for their daughters Pratigya and Aarushi. When Pratigya returns from college, she slaps Angad for harassing her. Then, Krishna sees her face and admires her beauty, and falls in love with her at first sight. He decides to marry her at any cost, even though his father, Sajjan Singh, disapproves. Later, Pratigya and her family find out that Krishna is the son of the Thakur, who is the richest and most influential man in town.

Pratigya's family realizes Krishna's obsession and arranges for her to marry a boy named Nitin, and the two complete their engagment. However, Angad severely injures Nitin and kidnaps Pratigya. Krishna is blamed for this, but, as he is a Thakur, he does not face any consequences. Later, Pratigya prepares to marry Krishna to take revenge on him for the kidnapping and for the treatment of women in his house. To ensure that the Singh family treats Pratigya well, Pratigya's brother Adarsh decides to marry Krishna's sister Komal.

During her marriage to Krishna, Pratigya takes a pledge to save her sister-in-law, Kesar. Kesar's husband beats her, and has made her have four abortions because he does not want a dark-skinned child. Pratigya decides to try to protect Kesar's unborn child, and succeeds. At the same time, Komal finds out that Adarsh used to be in love with a girl named Roli, an old friend of Pratigya's. The couple have a big fight, but stay together. Adarsh says that he loved Roli before the wedding, but forgot her later. Komal accepts her new life, family and husband, and the finally starts to get along with all of them.

Then, the servant of the house makes Pratigya eat some old pickle, which makes her vomit. As a result, her parents-in-law believe that she is pregnant and start celebrating. Pratigya tries to tell them that she is not pregnant, but Krishna stops her because wants to see his parents happy. Pratigya's mother-in-law Sumitra begins to suspect that Pratigya is not pregnant, and arranges a puja. Pratigya cannot sit in the puja and tells her in-laws the truth; however, they believe that she purposely lied to them to receive special treatment. Krishna does not defend her, instead slapping her on the cheek, and the family throws her out of the house. Pratigya, embarrassed and crying, goes to her mother's house. Krishna starts to miss her and regrets his actions, and he tries to bring her back home. Pratigya's family members, however, say that Krishna's father must take Pratigya home. Krishna's father goes to the house and brings his daughter back instead. He then says that, to come back, Pratigya must apologize for her actions.

Angad then tells Pratigya's father about how he kidnapped Pratigya and attacked her fiancé. He also states that he took photographs of Pratigya naked and would distribute them if he was not given ₹500,000 in 5 days. Pratigya's father cannot get the money, so Angad says that he will marry Aarushi instead. Aarushi runs away from home, but Pratigya finds her and discovers that it was Angad and not Krishna who had kidnapped her earlier. Pratigya confronts Angad and has him arrested, but her father tells her not to tell Krishna about the kidnapping because he would kill Angad.

Angad is released from prison and dies by slipping from the top of a deep, rocky ditch. Shyam Saxena believes that he murdered Angad because he could have saved him, but failed. He is sent to prison and Pratigya and Adarsh hire a lawyer, Aman Mathur, to fight the case. This causes a rift between Pratigya and Krishna, as Krishna thinks that Pratigya is going against his father. For Shyam to be released, Pratigya has to talk to Krishna about how Angad kidnapped her. He is shocked and leaves home. Pratigya decides to find him, but a snake bites her. Krishna finds her, removes the venom from her body, and decides to return home. While returning home, Krishna faints and Pratigya discovers that his body is full of poison. He is taken to a doctor, who tells Pratigya that he is in critical condition. Pratigya asks Krishna to wake up, and his vitals rise as she talks to him. Pratigya quickly realises she was wrong about Krishna and begins to love him, but Krishna stays away from her but continually defends her public. Pratigya eventually declares her love for Krishna and after much talking they accept each other and begin their marital relationship.

Later, Aman says that he wants Aarushi's hand in marriage. Then, Adarsh is hit by a car and is admitted to the hospital in critical condition, but recovers and returns home. The family tries to find out who the driver was, and discover that it was Aman's younger brother, Jai. At the same time, the family believes that Komal is pregnant, but she is not; however, only Adarsh and Komal know the truth and when it is revealed everyone feels extremely upset. Then, Pratigya and Krishna find Aman's real wife and tell her about Aman's plan to marry Aarushi. Aman's wife comes to the wedding, but does not reveal Aman's deception. As a result, Aman's father feels insulted and decides that the marriage will not take place. However, as she Aarushi feels that Pratigya simply did not want her to marry a man more educated and cultured than Krishna, Aarushi decides to marry Shakti Singh. He decides to marry her because of the drama of the situation, despite being married to Kesar. When the couple comes home, Shakti asks Kesar to welcome Aarushi, but Kesar breaks down when she sees the two going into the bedroom. Aarushi then sets out to ruin Pratigya's life.

Later, Aarushi goes to a temple to pray, and is shocked to hear Aman's voice saying that he has come to take blessings for his child.
