Plot

Kuch Toh Log Kahenge is a love story revolving around a team of doctors working at Dr. Kotnis General Hospital in Lucknow.[2]

Former college friends Dr. Ashutosh Mathur (Mohnish Behl) and Dr. Malika Trehan (Rukhsar Rehman) work at the same hospital. Dr. Ashutosh is a workaholic and hard hearted man and due to some sad past events of his life, he has kept himself engrossed in his work. He doesn't prefer any kind of nonsense, enjoyment or fun at the hospital or his life. However Dr. Malika loves Dr. Ashutosh secretly and expresses this indirectly by stating that she is waiting for him since 12 years, but Ashutosh does not express any kind of willingness to marry her. Life starts changing for Ashutosh when a young intern, Dr. Nidhi Verma (Kritika Kamra), joins the hospital. She is a fun loving and jovial person and at times irritates Ashutosh with her childish ways of handling the Children Ward. Ashutosh warns Nidhi few times to behave herself but she did not improve. Ashutosh and Nidhi slowly start having a good time with each other and Ashutosh develops feelings for Nidhi even though he is 18 years older than her. He doesn't express his feelings for her because of their age difference. Malika realises that Ashutosh is getting closer to Nidhi and decides to make Nidhi's life hard by giving her extra work and assigning Night duties. Her sister-in-law Suhasini keeps provoking Malika to make Ashutosh realise that loving a girl almost half his age is wrong and it won't work at any cost. Malika somehow convinces Ashutosh to eliminate Nidhi from the hospital and that they cannot have any future. Ashutosh terminates Nidhi's internship stating her mistakes and that her behaviour in the hospital is no more tolerable. Nidhi is hurt and angry with Ashutosh for behaving this way with her. Dadi Bua (Kavita Vaid) could not see Nidhi upset and thus decided to call Rohan (Karan Wahi) to their home. Initially Nidhi found Rohan very irritating and doesn't talk to him. However, they both love to eat noodles in the middle of the night and often Rohan would understand Nidhi's mind, which develops trust for Rohan in Nidhi's mind. They both become good friends and start sharing things. Ashutosh's childhood friend, Armaan (Nitesh Pandey) also arrives at Lucknow and starts living with Ashutosh. Slowly and gradually Armaan and Rohan come to know about Ashutosh & Nidhi's love for each other. Ashutosh feels bad for terminating Nidhi, and thus recommends her to City Centre General Hospital. Both of them again meet at Mumbai in a medical conference, where Malika tells Nidhi that she got a new job due to Ashutosh's recommendation. Nidhi feels even more hurt and resigns from that job. Later she comes to know about a house which was named on her by an unknown man, who in fact was Ashutosh's father's home Dr. Ashish Mathur (Alok Nath). Ashutosh wanted that house at any cost but was completely unaware that Nidhi was the owner of the house. He was behind his lawyer Sanjeevani to get his house back, but Sanjeevani could not help him. Nidhi's father Colonel Yograj Verma (Vijay Kashyap) had married Dr. Mathur's daughter during his army days. However Dr. Mathur rejected their marriage and abandoned his daughter for choosing marriage over career and going against his will. After the birth of Nidhi, her mother passed away. Since then Col. Verma had a serious grudge against Dr. Mathur and held him responsible for the situation. In the interim, Kotnis General Hospital's Admin Dr. Rangnath (Vishal Malhotra) and Nidhi's childhood friend Anjilika Solanki (Anji) (Ishita Sharma) had started working with each other for designing uniforms. Dr. Rangnath had a huge crush on Anji, but she did not pay attention to him because of his extra flirty nature. Dr. Rangnath used to flirt a lot with every girl around him and Anji disliked this. However, after sometime she also develops feelings for him, but does not disclose it.

Once Rohan & Armaan meet each other at Kotnis hospital, and after knowing the history, shake hands and decide to make Ashutosh & Nidhi realise about each other's love. Both now try to persuade Nidhi and Ashutosh to express their love, but both of them deny that it is already over. When they both plan to patch up Ashutosh & Nidhi at Lucknow Darbar, they enter a mosque to listen to Qawali, where Nidhi & Ashutosh again meet each other. Taking advantage of the situation, Rohan and Armaan face both of them and confirm that Ashutosh & Nidhi love each other. Ashutosh & Nidhi also confess their love and they now start spending quality time with each other. Anji's mom, Shyama Solanki (Nandita Puri) observes this closely and once advises Nidhi to disclose about this relationship to Col. Verma & Dadi Bua as early as possible. Nidhi kept asking for sometime but did not have courage to disclose it with fear that her family will never accept Ashutosh. Later Malika comes to know about this relationship and everytime, with the constant provoking of Suhasini, she tries to force Ashutosh to do those things which makes him feel uncomfortable but makes Nidhi's happy. However Malika's plans fail everytime as Ashutosh & Nidhi try to adjust things to save their relationship despite facing embarrassment. Meanwhile, Col. Verma receives a huge export order, and to complete this, he takes a bank loan, whose manager turns out to be Malika's brother, Aditya Trehan (Puneet Tejwani). Malika finds out about the loan when she comes to meet Aditya the same day when Col. Verma came there to take the loan with his partner Mr. Mansukhani. Ashutosh was constantly forcing his lawyer, Sanjeevani, to get him his house, and Sanjeevani was in touch with Mr. Mansukhani, to get the house sold. Mansukhani knew that the house belonged to Nidhi. Mansukhani was a very greedy man, so in order to earn huge commission from the house, he decided to target rejection of Col. Verma's order so that to repay the loan, they will have no option but to sell the house. Col. Verma asked Anji to check the samples since she was a fashion designer. Mansukhani and his assistant, Chandak, tricked Anji & Col. Verma by showing them good quality samples, but later blackmailed the supplier to use inferior material with a promise to give him some commission. The Quality Officer told Col. Verma that he will come soon to check the samples. Col. Verma again asks Anji to check the samples, and she was shocked to realise that the samples were not those shown to her. She informs Col. Verma, who gets tensed. Col. Verma fails to replace the samples due to lack of time, and thus the Quality Officer rejects the full order. Col. Verma decides not to share this with anyone and asks Anji to stay quiet about this. Now, Col. Verma's relative Mandira comes to Lucknow. She had married a man who was double her age and due to this, Dadi Bua & Col. Verma had broken their relation with her. However, Col. Verma felt sorry for her and asked her to come home. But Dadi Bua insulted her and asked her to leave. Ashutosh was present during this drama and he realised that it won't be easy to convince Nidhi's family for their marriage. Col. Verma once in a conversation strictly told Nidhi that he was also against a person who is double the age of her daughter and will never accept such relationship, which broke Nidhi. However she still has hopes when Ashutosh assures her that he will speak to her family soon. Malika kept feeling jealous due to the growing love between Ashutosh and Nidhi, and keeps blackmailing Aditya Trehan to force Col. Verma to repay his loan without any delay. Aditya, unwillingly, warns Col. Verma that if he fails to repay the loan, bank will take steps to recover it by attaching his property and dismissing his family from their home. Col. Verma gets into hypertension due to rejected order & loan pressure, but decides to stay quiet. Meanwhile, Ashutosh once discloses about his house to Nidhi, and takes her to see it. Nidhi was shocked to see that it is the same house which she owns. She plans to gift Ashutosh his house back on New Year's eve and plans a programme at that house. But before reaching there, she gets a call that Col. Verma suffered a heart attack due to bank's increasing pressure of repaying loan. This spoils the plan and makes Ashutosh very angry. He felt that Nidhi played a prank with him. Armaan tries to convince Ashutosh also but he denies to believe anything. Due to Malika's constant blackmailing, Aditya Trehan now keeps forcing Nidhi to repay the loan in 3–4 days else he will have to take extreme steps to recover the loan. Nidhi asked Mansukhani and he suggested Nidhi to sell her house, as the only solution to repay the loan. Nidhi received a call from a man called Sandeep Bagchi (Vinay Jain) and he bought the house from her. This helped Nidhi to repay the loan and Col. Verma also recovered from his illness. Later, Dadi Bua started believing than Rohan & Nidhi like each other due to their good friendship and secretly planned their engagement with Col. Verma without informing them. She called Rohan's parents to Lucknow to see Nidhi. Rohan's father was stubborn and did not allow Rohan to speak anything against him. On the day of engagement, Shyama informed Nidhi about this and she was heartbroken. Rohan was also shocked & objected but his father did not listen to him. Ashutosh was in Delhi due to an emergency & when Nidhi informed him about the engagement, he assured that on returning, he will come and convince her family. However, Ashutosh missed his return flight and decided to come by road. But he met with a serious accident and went missing. Nidhi told Col. Verma that she loves someone else and cannot accept this engagement, as a result Col. Verma cancelled the engagement. On asking frequently, Nidhi revealed that she loves Ashutosh and this makes her family furious. Rohan, Nidhi & Anji start searching for Ashutosh but they could not find him anywhere. The police informed that Ashutosh is dead since they found his broken phone and suitcase but his body was found nowhere at the accident spot. Nidhi denies to believe this & starts searching for him again. Ashutosh (Sharad Kelkar) was found unconscious in a lake and villagers manage to bring him to a village hospital. Nidhi manages to find him there & brings him to Kotnis Hospital. Dadi Bua & Col. Verma strictly refuses Nidhi to meet Ashutosh, which disheartens her. Things get worse as Dadi Bua & Col. Verma take Nidhi to Kerala to forget Ashutosh, but Ashutosh manages to reach there too with Armaan's and Anji's help. Ashutosh confronts Dadi Bua & Col. Verma but they again refuse to accept him. Nidhi decides to break her relationship with Ashutosh & asks him to forget her and move on for their betterment. Meanwhile, Sandeep Bagchi had actually bought the house for Malika. Malika decides to gift the house to Ashutosh and gets a promise from him to fulfill whatever she demands. Later their college colleague Jagan Mehta (Sachin Parikh) enters the hospital and expresses his love for Malika. Ashutosh had huge grudges against Jagan & knew he was not a trustworthy person. Jagan invites Ashutosh & Malika to his home for dinner, but instead humiliates Ashutosh a lot. When Jagan expresses his wish to marry Malika again, she refuses and tells him that she loves Ashutosh. Malika again asks Ashutosh about marriage, but when he refuses, she decides to marry Jagan. Now Nidhi starts working in an NGO where she meets an old man who was suffering from Alzheimers. The man turns out to be Dr. Ashutosh's father Dr. Mathur. Nidhi treats Dr. Mathur and helps him regain his memory about the house & Ashutosh. Nidhi helps Ashutosh meet his father and take him home. Dr. Mathur learns about Ashutosh & Nidhi's broken relationship and decides to solve this. He persuades Nidhi's family to agree to the marriage, but Col. Verma strictly denies. To turn things worse for Nidhi, Rohan started falling in love with her and expresses his wish to marry her. Shyama informed Nidhi about this and she was astonished. She told Rohan that she cannot think about anyone replacing Dr. Ashutosh and thus declines his proposal which leaves him heartbroken. Nidhi is fed up of the situation and decides to go out of India for a long time. Despite stopping, Nidhi does not listen and leaves. But Ashutosh reaches airport and requests Nidhi to stop. She ignores him as well. Col. Verma stops Nidhi & finally accepts their relationship. Dadi Bua objects initially, but hesitantly accepts them for Nidhi's happiness. Both finally marry each other. Rohan could not see this and secretly leaves the house, leaving a goodbye letter for Nidhi. Fate again decides to trouble Nidhi & Ashutosh's married life when Ashutosh finds Malika in deteriorated condition. But when he follows Malika to stop her, he meets with a minor accident and injures his leg. He asks Nidhi to find Malika, who initially lies that she could not find her, but to see his husband happy, finally succeeds and brings her to hospital. Anji was very furious on Nidhi for doing this, but they patched up on Nidhi's request to support her instead of blaming her. Malika was still hopeful for Ashutosh but was in trauma due to severe physical abuse by Jagan. When Ashutosh is discharged from hospital, Malika could not bare this and decides to commit suicide. Ashutosh decides to take Malika home till she recovers. Nidhi doesn't like this but remains silent. However, Malika starts feigning illness to get closer to Ashutosh & eliminate Nidhi out from his life. Malika succeeds in creating regular arguments between Ashutosh & Nidhi, but they both patched up everytime, which disappoints Malika. Nidhi realises about Malika's illness drama when she saw her throwing her tablets out of the window and decides to expose her. Malika decides to kill Nidhi as the only way to get close to Ashutosh. She orders sleeping pills from Purohit Chemist and mixes it in her food. However, Dr. Rangnath is informed by medical store that Malika had ordered sleeping pills without prescription and he informs Anji. Anji informed Nidhi, who suspects that Malika has poisoned her food, and blames her for this. When Ashutosh gets angry on Nidhi & attempts to eat the same food, Malika stops him and confesses her ill acts. Ashutosh eliminates her from his house. Dr. Rangnath calls his parents to Lucknow to see Anji after her parents force him. Rangnath's parents are traditional and thus first disapprove of Anji without even meeting her, since she's a modern girl and they want Rangnath to marry a village based girl. They select a girl named Susila and call her to live with them. Rangnath doesn't like her at all. Nidhi & Anji plan to put city life craze into Susila's mind and they succeed. Susila told Rangnath's parents that she wants to be like a modern girl, but this develops a negative image in Rangnath's parents' mind and they eliminate her. They finally agree to meet Anji. To impress Rangnath's parents, Anji starts behaving like a typical cultured and spiritual village girl and she succeeds. Both families finally approve of their marriage, however Anji's father Kapil Solanki and Rangnath's father have few heated arguments before the marriage. Meanwhile, Dadi Bua now has a wish to see Nidhi & Ashutosh's child and keeps on reminding them about it. Ashutosh also wants a child (in order to again bring back his lost childhood days), but Nidhi strictly refuses saying her career is more important than motherhood at the time. She demanded 2 years from Ashutosh to develop her career, which Ashutosh hesitantly agrees. Nidhi rejoins Kotnis Hospital but is assigned Admin work. Jagan suddenly enters Ashutosh's cabin and blackmails him that Malika & he will not be spared. Jagan accused Ashutosh that he had hidden Malika and saved her from him. But Ashutosh denies Jagan that he does not have any relation with Malika since she tried killing Nidhi. However, Jagan follows him to find Malika's home. When Jagan visits her home and starts blackmailing her, Ashutosh arrives with police who arrest Jagan. Since Malika is pregnant, Ashutosh decides to help her and frequently visits her, but Nidhi doesn't like this. She requests Ashutosh to stop meeting her as he had already done huge favours by shifting her to a new home and getting Jagan arrested. Ashutosh explains that he is helping Malika just because she is pregnant and she might need help anytime, however Nidhi disapproves of this. Suddenly Malika develops immense pain and Ashutosh brings her to Kotnis Hospital. Nidhi was deeply hurt to see that and this creates a huge argument between her & Ashutosh. Mallika realises that Ashutosh & Nidhi are not talking with each other due to her. She apologizes to Nidhi and says that she is going to Australia to live with her brother and will never bother both of them now.

Later, a patient, Amar Tiwari (Dheeraj Dhoopar) is injured in a shoot-out and is brought to the hospital by Nidhi. He gradually falls in love with Nidhi, but Nidhi does not pay much attention. In order to make Ashutosh feel jealous, she tries to be friendly with Amar, but Ashutosh understood Nidhi's plan. Ashutosh warned Nidhi that Amar seems to be from a criminal background and so he changed Nidhi's duty. Finally, Ashutosh tells Aman that Nidhi is his wife and he should not try to come close to her. Amar's brother, Bajrang Tiwari was in fact a criminal, and he could not see Amar's broken heart. He kidnaps Ashutosh and decides to kill him to allow Amar to come closer to Nidhi. When Aman realises this, he informs Nidhi and both reach the spot where they find Ashutosh fighting with Bajrang. Ashutosh is rescued but his left hand gets injured when one of the gang member shot him. Later, Nidhi and Ashutosh solve the differences and she returns.

Nidhi discovers that Dr. Mathur was in love with his college friend Dr. Aradhana (Anju Mahendru), but did not marry her. She goes to Allahabad to Dr. Aradhana's clinic, tells her about Dr. Mathur, and asks her to come to Lucknow. Dr. Mathur tells Aradhana he had wanted to marry her but had to marry his principal's daughter to save him from humiliation. Aradhana feels sorry for misunderstanding Mathur for so many years.

The first season ends with Nidhi and Ashutosh celebrating their first wedding anniversary and announcing that Nidhi is pregnant.
