At the same time, Aishwarya, who was married into a wealthy family, also feels lost and disconnected from her family.

The two girls cross paths and find themselves constantly at odds. Little do they know that Aishwarya is actually Anjali's mother who were separated at birth. As they continue to clash, their families become entangled in a web of secrets and lies, and the truth of their past begins to unravel.

Anjali and Aishwarya's relationship becomes more complicated as they start to uncover the truth of Anjali's birth and the reason for the mix-up. They begin to see each other in a different light and develop a bond they never thought was possible.

As the story progresses, Anjali and Aishwarya navigate through the complexities of their new-found relationship, as well as the challenges and pressures of their respective families. They face numerous obstacles and opposition from people around them, but remain steadfast in their quest for the truth and for their happiness. [10]
