Plot

However, along her path, her life becomes entwined with Anuj, a successful police officer and her father's boss who she initially considers an inspiration to serve the country. She marries Anuj out of compromise due to a series of events, while the latter is in love with his childhood friend and Guddi's teacher, Shirin. Guddi eventually unknowingly begins developing feelings for Anuj.

However, as Shirin's wrath grows for Guddi, several events finally lead to the Guddi divorcing Anuj and the latter marrying Shirin. But even after marrying Shirin, Anuj continues to cheat on Shirin with Guddi, who becomes pregnant with his child. Guddi pretends to be innocent in front of Shirin, but continues her affair with Anuj. After a long time Guddi breaks her affair with Anuj. Later Anuj also returns to Shirin. After moving on in life, Guddi marries Judhajit, a humble and supportive man, and Anuj's cousin, whom she cheats again with Anuj.
