Plot

The story revolves around the Pethewala family. Bhushan, the second son, is in love with Shreya. Before he can tell his family, they pretend to have arranged his marriage elsewhere, but the bride turns out to be Shreya. The lovers are happily married.

Ajay, the youngest son of the Pethewala family, has a best friend, Ajju, who is in love with Sanjana. Ajju gets a job in the US, and he and Sanjana decide to marry in court due to her father's objections. However, since Ajju is just under 21, he cannot marry. To prevent Sanjana's father from forcibly marrying her off to someone else, Ajju asks Ajay to marry her temporarily until he returns from the US.

Ajay marries Sanjana, but their families are unaware that their marriage is only a contract for a few months. The Pethewala family takes time to accept Sanjana. Meanwhile, Shreya, after being influenced by her mother, tries to divide the household and take control. Sanjana uncovers Shreya's true intentions and attempts to expose her, but Shreya reveals the truth about Ajay's contract marriage, causing significant problems in the family. Sanjana is thrown out of the house, and Trilokchand asks Ajay to get a divorce. However, Sanjana's father, who has since accepted the marriage, helps her realize her love for Ajay. Although Ajay has feelings for Sanjana, he hides them, not wanting to hurt Ajju. Sanjana tries to win Ajay's love. Meanwhile, Dadi sees through Shreya's deception and brings Sanjana back into the house, pretending to be a negative influence. Sanjana 'tortures' the family to unite them in fighting her, and eventually exposes Shreya, who is thrown out by Bhushan.

Shreya attempts suicide by jumping off a cliff, but Bhushan saves her. However, she loses her vision and becomes blind. Regretful of her actions, Shreya asks the family for forgiveness. Everyone forgives her except Bhushan. Around the same time, Ajju returns from the US and learns of Sanjana's love for Ajay. He tries to take her away, but Ajay stops him and confesses his love for Sanjana, leading to a major fight between the friends. In a shocking turn, Ajju attempts to rape Sanjana, but Ajay's sister, Mishri, intervenes, hitting Ajju on the head with a vase, killing him. Mishri is terrified, and Ajay and Sanjana hide Ajju's body. The police later inform Trilokchand that they have found Ajju's body and consider the entire Pethewala family as suspects, with Ajay and Sanjana being the prime suspects. Meanwhile, in college, Mishri notices that she is being followed. It turns out that Ajju, in disguise, is still alive, and together with his sister Shaina and even Shreya, they manipulate Mishri into thinking she is losing her mind. However, Ajay and Sanjana protect her.

In the meantime, Shreya fakes a pregnancy to stay in the family, but Bhushan becomes suspicious and uncovers her lies. Ajay and Mishri also catch another man, Anuj, who claims to have fallen in love with Mishri at first sight. Anuj's family asks for Mishri’s hand in marriage. On the day of the wedding, Sanjana is arrested for Ajju's murder. Sanjana confesses, and the only way Ajay can save her is by agreeing to marry Shaina. However, Bhushan arrives in time and exposes all the villains, ensuring that Sanjana and Ajay are finally married. Shreya, Ajay, and Shaina are arrested. Sanjana then requests Bhushan to bring Shreya back into the family, and he agrees. Shreya is happy that Sanjana has forgiven her. The story ends with the entire family dancing together.
