Plot

The story revolves around the Pethewala family.

Bhushan, the second son, is in love with Shreya. Before he can tell his family, they pretend to have arranged his marriage to someone else who turns out to be Shreya. They eventually marry and live happily.

Ajay, the youngest son of the Pethewala family, has a best friend named Ajju, who is in love with Sanjana. Ajju gets a job in the US, and he and Sanjana decide to marry due to her father's objections. However, since Ajju is just under 21, he cannot marry. To prevent Sanjana's father from forcibly marrying her off to someone else, Ajju asks Ajay to marry her temporarily until he returns from the US. Ajay marries Sanjana, but their families are unaware that their marriage is only a contract for a few months. The Pethewala family takes time to accept Sanjana. Sanjana feels alone and tries and fails to contact Ajju. However, she and Ajay slowly become closer.

Meanwhile, Shreya, influenced by her mother, tries to divide the household and take control. Sanjana uncovers Shreya's true intentions and threatens to expose her after Shreya and her mother's plots turns criminal.

When everyone accepted Ajay and Sanjana's marriage, Shreya reveals their contract marriage. Sanjana is thrown out of the house, and Trilokchand asks Ajay to get a divorce. However, Sanjana's father, who has come around to the marriage after Ajay and Sanjana save his life, helps her realize her love for Ajay. Although Ajay has feelings for Sanjana, but hides them, not wanting to hurt Ajju. Sanjana tries to win Ajay's love.

Meanwhile, Dadi sees through Shreya's deception and brings Sanjana back into the house, pretending to be a negative influence. Sanjana unites the family by making them fight her, and eventually exposes Shreya, including how she had recently hit Dadi. Bhushan throws Shreya out of the house and apologizes to Ajay and Sanjana.

Shreya attempts suicide by jumping off a cliff, but Bhushan saves her. However, she loses her vision and becomes blind. Regretful of her actions, Shreya asks the family for forgiveness, who all do so except for Bhushan.

Around the same time, Ajju returns from the US. Sanjana confronts him about his lack of communication, but Ajju tries to justify and immediately decides to marry her. However he learns that Ajay and Sanjana loves each other. He tries to take her away, but Ajay stops him and confesses his love for Sanjana, leading to a major fight between the friends. Ajju attempts to assault Sanjana, but Mishri intervenes, hitting Aju on the head with a vase, killing him. Mishri is terrified, and Ajay and Sanjana hide Ajju's body. The police later inform Trilokchand that they have found Ajju's body and consider the entire Pethewala family as suspects, with Ajay and Sanjana being the prime suspects. Meanwhile, in college, Mishri notices that she is being followed.

It is revealed that not only is Ajju still alive, but Shreya's suicide attempt was faked and a scheme devised by Shreya and her mother. Ajju, Shreya and her sister Shania work together to manipulate Mishri into thinking she is losing her mind. However, Ajay and Sanjana protect her.

Shreya fakes a pregnancy to stay in the family, but Bhushan becomes suspicious and uncovers her lies. Ajay and Mishri discover another man, Anuj, who claims to have fallen in love with Mishri at first sight. Anuj's family asks for Mishri's hand in marriage. On the day of the wedding, Sanjana is arrested for Ajju's murder. Sanjana confesses, and the only way Ajay can save her is by agreeing to marry Shaina. However, Bhushan arrives in time and exposes all the villains, ensuring that Sanjana and Ajay are finally married. Shreya, Ajay and Shaina are arrested. Sanjana then requests Bhushan to bail out Shreya and bring her back to the family for the last time, which he agrees to. Shreya apologises and Sanjana forgives her.
