Season 1

Vidya is a kind-hearted and simple girl from Benaras(Varanasi). Similar to Cinderella, she is made to do all the work in her household and is tortured by her uncle, aunt, and Cousin. They also don't allow her to get an education, leaving her illiterate.

A businessman from Delhi, Rajendra Pratap Singh, sees and likes Vidya and decides that she will be his daughter-in-law. On the day of her marriage, Vidya discovers that her new husband is mentally unstable with the mind of a child, due to a terrible car accident six months ago. Thus, the two get off to a rocky start trying to adjust to each other.

Sindoora, Sagar's evil stepsister, wants the family property and had caused the deadly car accident to kill him but was unsuccessful. She attempts to expel Vidya from the house but her kind ex-husband Aniket and young son Bharat support Vidya. Despite Sindoora's efforts, Vidya endears herself to the family, including Sagar.

After learning that a doctor from Singapore can cure Sagar, the couple travels there. Sagar's operation is successful and he becomes normal again but doesn't remember anything before his car accident; thus, he doesn't recall his marriage nor Vidya. Sindoora tries to take advantage of this and turn him against his wife but the couple reconcile and remarry. Sindoora tries again to kill Sagar but Aniket protects him, becoming paralyzed in the process. Gayatri, Sagar's aunt, knows about Sindoora and helps Vidya, encouraging her to learn to read and write. Sindoora sends Aniket to jail by blaming him for Sagar's accident, then attempts to murder Gayatri. She doesn't die but becomes comatose.

Sagar realizes the truth about his stepsister and he and Vidya work to get evidence to incriminate her. This culminates in Sindoora eventually killing the couple. They die together, but not before they are able to hide their evidence, with Sagar saying that the story is not over. Meanwhile, Bharat learns that his mother killed Sagar and Vidya and flees the house.

Season 2

21 years later

Sagar and Vidya are reborn as Amar and Divya on the night of their death, with their economical statuses swapped from their previous life; Amar grows up poor while Divya grows up wealthy. Amar is actually born as the son of Mahua, Sindoora's younger sister, and her husband Rajiv. Rajiv overhears the priest's future prediction about Sindoora and swaps Amar with a boy named Samrat to keep him safe. Divya grows up to become a modern girl from London while Amar becomes a spunky tour guide, living in Benaras. Divya is Samrat's friend and travels to meet him in Delhi, where the Singh family becomes shell-shocked upon seeing her physical similarity to Vidya.

Amar and Divya meet in Benaras, where their previous incarnations had also met for the first time. Divya has strange flashbacks of her previous birth but does not understand them. The couple falls in love and when Amar comes to Delhi, Rajiv learns that he is his son as does Sindoora. Amar and Divya get married and individually remember their past lives at different times. They also reunite with a now-adult Bharat, who discovers that they are Sagar and Vidya's reincarnations. The three work together to take down Sindoora once and for all, and the show ends with their victory. [5] [6]
