Plot

Alka, Anushka, Devyani and Pia are sisters who live with their father Narayan Shastri in Kanpur. Alka is in love with their neighbor Rajeev. Narayan gets a job transfer and moves to Delhi with his daughters.

They then reside as tenants in Narayan's friend Surinder Sareen's house. Surinder has a evil wife Minty and two sons: the unemployed Neel and an IAF pilot Rajat. Meanwhile, Rajeev came to Delhi after Alka to meet her. Minty saw her with Rajeev and told her father that she should get married and begins to find a marriage proposal for her. After Alka tells Rajeev that she is getting married , he told her that she must speak to them about their marriage or he will do it himself. Alka tried to speak up to her father but she couldn't. Agitated, Rajeev came to Alka's house. Her father saw this and slapped Rajeev and told him to get out. Shastri asked her what was he doing here. Alka finally told her father that she loves Rajeev and cannot marry Rohan. Shastri agreed for her daughter's happiness and went to Kanpur to talk to Rajeev's father about their marriage but he insulted Shastri by saying that his daughter trapped his son in love for money. Rajeev remained silent and didn't spoke the truth. Heartbroken, Alka marries the kind and supportive Rohan.

Eventually, Anushka and Devyani fall in love with Rajat, who is smitten with Anushka's simplicity. Devyani turns bitters towards her. Neel falls in love with and proposes Devyani but she rejects him.

Rajat's ex-girlfriend Karishma tries to create misunderstandings between him and Anushka. Neel and Devyani thwart her and get betrothed. Later, Neel is forced by Minty to marry her friend Leela's greedy daughter Kajal.

Kajal who in actual wants the property of the family pushes Anushka off a cliff to be benefitted from her death. An imposter kidnaps Rajat and makes his face look alike as him through plastic surgery. The show takes a 1 year leap.

1 year later

The imposter who is in fact a terrorist still lives as Rajat. Neel still loves Devyani. Anushka is shown to be rescued by a doctor namely Raghav. Eventually, she recovers.

Anushka manages to escape and misunderstands at first that Rajat has married Devyani before the truth is out. She finds out his whereabouts and brings him back. The imposter is arrested, and Anushka remarries Rajat in the end.
