Plot
Season 1
Mishri is an orphaned woman who lives with her foster father Swamiji. Arjun Awasthi, the son of Prathap Awasthi, is a criminal lawyer who lives with his own family. Mishri and Arjun meet each other, later developing a rivalry. Mishri meets a man named Brij Awasthi, who is willing to find their daughter Anu after she died in a car accident.
Mishri meets Arjun to bail Swamiji. Arjun agrees, and he makes a one-year contract with her to marry him. While the entire family is surprised to see Arjun and Mishri's marriage, as Annapoorna, Arjun's grandmother, starts to blame her for ruining Priya's life.
Priya, Yashoda, and Ballu decide to separate the married couple, but they fail on every attempt. Meanwhile, Arjun and Mishri fall in love with each other, but their one-year contract is terminated. Arjun and Mishri learn about Priya and her friends' plans, exposing them to the family.
Kamini, who is Arjun's childhood obsessive lover, returns by bringing a boy named Ghanti, who claims to be his child. Mishri learns more about Kamini, knowing that Ghanti is not his child and exposes him in front of the family.
Priya kidnaps Mishri's family on the day of Dussehra festival and tries to kill them. After going through a thorough plastic surgery, Priya marries Arjun's brother, Ashwin. Mishri finds out she is pregnant with Arjun's child, while Anamika decides to kill her child. Mishri tells everyone in front of the family that Anamika is Priya. Anamika escapes and kidnaps Mishri's child, later meeting a man named Dr. Abhimanyu, who helps to get Anamika's child back.
Anamika and Abhimanyu kidnap Mishri's family, and he forces Mishri to marry him. However, Anamika is shot by a policeman when she comes to kill her and her son. Season one concludes when Mishri and Arjun raise their child and with her family.
Season 2
Rakesh, an impoverished man, callously swaps two babies at birth for his son (Rana) to live amongst the Tripathis, the wealthiest family, while he takes the true heir of the Tripathi family—a female who he fosters (Meethi).
Rana is a male chauvinist who believes every woman should belong in the kitchen. However, he is later disproven when he meets Meethi, who is working conscientiously in her academic studies to fulfill her dreams of becoming a barrister.
