Plot
Amrit Manthan is the story of two sisters Amrit and Nimrit. Starting off as best friends, fate leads them to turn into enemies. Nimrit survives as Amrit attempts to kill her. But her face is ruined and changed by plastic surgery and she returns as Natasha Oberoi to seize everything that Amrit has taken from her. A lookalike of Nimrit (later revealed to be her long lost twin), named Shivangi, comes to town and helps Nimrit in her battle against Amrit and succeeds. Shivangi then leaves to pursue her career and marries a superstar.
After a series of events, Nimrit thinks that her husband, Agam and Amrit have died, but they survive. Nimrit and Agam have a daughter named Gurbani. Amrit returns with Yug as her fiance with an aim to ruin her sister's and Agam's lives. Amrit tries to incite Gurbani to rebel against her parents but fails. Eventually, the sisters set aside their difference and Amrit reforms herself. With Yug gone, Amrit marries Tej.
Agam is killed by Angad/Karan due to a misunderstanding. Angad forces Nimrit to marry him. Amrit is abducted by Yug who creates misunderstandings and has Amrit arrested. Rajjo helps rescue Amrit and exposes Yug as having tried to kill her nad her family and has him arrested.
