Plot

Jassi is a young married woman who lives with her affectionate mother-in-law, Beeji, and her younger brother-in-law, Varinder. Jassi's husband, Narinder, works abroad and they talk often on the phone figuring out how they can live together. Though she is an ideal daughter-in-law and gets along with everyone at home and in the community, Jassi feels incomplete as she pines for her husband. It is revealed that she and Varinder are having an affair for some time and are deeply in love. Hidden from Beeji, they secretly spend nights together, completely aware of the risk of their relationship.

Soon, Beeji receives a marriage proposal for Varinder and despite his unwillingness, Varinder agrees after Jassi convinces him that this can give their affair an added layer of protection. Jassi discovers she has gotten pregnant and in a state of panic, she and Varinder visit a hospital so she can get an abortion. Witnessed by Varinder's fiancé Nimmi, Jassi and Varinder manage to explain the situation but the wedding is called off. Jassi then decides to find Varinder a match and he is married to the soft-spoken and young Channi.

Now married, Varinder starts caring for Channi. Jassi finds it impossible to deal with Virender’s opportunistic indecisiveness after his marriage. He would stay away from her for long periods only to return and resume the relationship. Varinder and Jassi's relationship goes through a new phase as Beeji soon discovers their affair. When Beeji argues with Jassi, she falls to her death from a stairway.

In the last episode, Jassi dies accidentally in an attempt to save pregnant Channi - who let's Jassi dies and doesn't try to save her. We see Channi waking up for morning prayer the next day...
