Plot

MBA graduate Anurag Singh returns to his hometown Bihar after completing his studies in London. His parents have different choices as to who would become his future wife. Vidvaan wants him to marry lawyer Purushottam Singh's daughter Srishti, but Revati wants him to marry the rich thug Vikraal Singh's spoiled daughter Ragini. However, Anurag decides to marry Srishti, and that enrages Ragini. On the wedding day, Vikraal holds Vidvaan at gunpoint and forcefully makes Anurag marry Ragini. To prevent insult, Srishti marries Anurag's mentally disabled younger brother Vishesh, and soon is taunted for being a middle-class girl by Revati and her niece Dulari, who try to sabotage her studies.

Slowly, Anurag begins loving Ragini. Srishti's friend and obsessed lover, Shekhar Sharma, tries to ruin her marriage by misleading the family that they're having an affair. Shrishti and Ragini expose Shekhar, who gets arrested for attempting to kill Vishesh. Ragini and Anurag realise their love and remarry. Rajjo enters for revenge. She turns out to be Vishesh's first wife, who married him in childhood, but as he got mentally disabled due to a head injury, she was assumed to be bad luck for him and was thrown out. Due to this humiliation, Rajjo's father commits suicide and her mother loses her sanity. In present, Rajjo is arrested and Revati finally accepts Srishti and Ragini.

Later, a hitman tries to kill Srishti. Vishu saves her and fights him, but dies in the process after falling off a cliff, and his body isn't found. Baiju Kanpuria, a goon troubles Srishti for slapping him publicly. Later, the family hires him as Srishti's bodyguard. They are assumed having affair and get married forcibly. Ragini is pregnant. Srishti and Baiju eventually fall in love. They meet a man who resembles Vishesh, and assume that he's an alive Vishesh. Revati vows to unite them but Srishti loves Baiju.

Later it is revealed that Vishesh is dead, and the man with his face who wants to separate Baiju and Srishti is actually Shekhar, who escaped jail and went through plastic surgery on his face. He kills Baiju and sends Ragini to jail by falsely accusing her, who in prison later delivers and gives her daughter in adoption. After finding out the truth, Srishti kills Shekhar but also dies after delivering her and Baiju's daughter, who is taken to Anurag's family.

20 years later

Srishti's daughter Sakshi is grown-up as like as Ragini's daughter Agni, who lives with her foster mom and finally learns about a late Ragini being her mother. Both Sakshi and Agni fall in love with Kishan Thakur, who loves Agni but Sakshi forcefully weds him.
