Plot

Maitree and Nandini are best friends and, to avoid being separated from each other, hope to marry into the same house.

Nandini and Maitree are now grown up. Nandini is married to Aashish. They are also expecting their first child. Aashish is an advocate by profession. Eventually Maitree marries Saransh, Aashish's younger cousin. Unknown to anyone, Saransh is a drug addict. Saransh and Maitree; Nandini and Aashish get into a car accident. Aashish and Maitree luckily survive the accident. Nandini falls into a coma after delivering a baby boy while Saransh succumbs to his injuries and dies. Saransh's mother, Sona Tiwari blames Maitree for Saransh's death. Nandini's mother, Advocate Vasundhara Singh Rathore accidentally mentions in front of Aashish that Saransh was a drug addict, which shocks him. Maitree decides to take care of Nandini and Aashish's son. Vasundhara informs Maitree that Saransh was a drug addict. Maitree is devastated and confronts Aashish. Aashish tries to conceal the truth but fails as Vasundhara had sent Saransh's reports to Maitree.

Aashish gets arrested and Vasundhara uses false evidences in court against him to prove that he is a drug dealer. But later, he gets bail and attends his son's naming ceremony. Aashish and Nandini's son is named Nandish ( a combination of their name). Maitree and Aashish decide to raise Nandish.

Nandini comes out of coma and tries to bond with Nandish, who does not want to get rid of Maitree. As a result, Nandini turns against Maitree and starts to think that she is snatching Nandish from her. She tries to create difficulties in Maitree's life, becoming her enemy. After a series of events, Nandish accepts Nandini as his mother but still continues to refer to Maitree as "maa" (mother). For Nandini's happiness, Maitree leaves Tiwari Mansion. She meets a fun-loving man, Harsh, and marries him. Later, it is revealed that Harsh is actually the half-brother of Saransh from his father's side. Both Maitree and Harsh move into the Tiwari Mansion again. Harsh's mother, Kamna, tries to torture and kill Maitree but is exposed. Aashish dies in an attempt to save Nandini from a fire. Saransh who is actually alive turns furious when he discovers that Maitree has remarried. He returns back, and pretends to be Aashish, to seek revenge on Maitree.

Maitree gets pregnant and gives birth to a boy child. Saransh steals the child and hands him over to a greedy woman who leaves the child in the trash. Harsh and Maitree find the abandoned child and decide to raise him; they are unaware that this baby is their biological child.

Maitree and Harsh raise their son Swayam with the memories of their lost son and adopt a girl named Juhi. Saransh comes back and tells Maitree and Harsh that Swayam is their son. But due to Swayam's illness, the doctor tells Harsh and Maitree that they have to produce Swayam's sibling who will donate bone marrow to Swayam. They agree to do that. But suddenly, Sona falls from terrace and dies. Harsh suspects Nandini for that gives her ultimatum to tell the truth but she refuses it every time. Meanwhile, Maitree gets her pregnancy report and it is revealed that she is pregnant again with Harsh's child. Suddenly a nāgin named Jhumki attacks Maitree and her in-laws as she drinks all the poisons of Naagmani to save the country. However, Maitree defeats Jhumki and sends her to Lord Shiva with the help of the divine bull Nandi. Everybody praises Maitree for her bravery. Thus, the show ends on a happy note by showing Maitree and Nandini's ever friendship and their happy family photos.
