## Plot

Payal and Vidhi are two sisters living with their mother, Surajmukhi. Payal wants to become an actor while Vidhi, who has a disabled leg, wants to become an IAS officer. Ved, the son of Pratibha Devi, falls in love with Payal because of her outer beauty. But Pratibha Devi chooses Vidhi for his son's bride because of her inner beauty and simplicity. As confusion occurs, Ved thinks that his marriage is arranged with Payal, but actually it is with Vidhi. Divya, who knows all of this, does not tell anyone and plans that after the planned marriage falls apart, she will let her sister marry Ved. Imarti wants her sister to take that place.
After discovering the truth, Ved tells his mother which Vidhi then learns about. She tells her mother she refuses to marry Ved, neither telling the truth. But Divya tells her family. Surajmukhi is left heartbroken. But then Pratibha agrees that Ved and Payal will marry but still likes Vidhi. Surajmukhi also agrees to this. So marriage rituals begin. But Imarti hires a person to set up fake rehearsals for Payal to act in and Payal is happy. But she misses all the marriage rituals.
Instead of breaking up the marriage between Ved and Payal, Vidhi helps them, without knowing about the acting. But at the Haldi ceremony, Payal gives up her wish to become an actor and accepts that she will marry Ved. But on the day of the marriage, Payal leaves the Mandap and runs away to become an actor, leaving a note in the Mandap. Imarti humiliates Surajmukhi and Vidhi. They both leave the Kothari mansion. Then Imarti fills the ears of Pratibha and acted like that she is tensed for Ved. But then Surajmukhi locks herself up in a room and wants to burn herself. But Pratibha Devi promises her that she will marry Ved to Vidhi. Then, Ved and Vidhi had to marry each other for their family's respect in the society.
Ved still loves Payal and didn't want to make any married relationship with Vidhi. Meanwhile, a big revelation came out that Pratibha Devi planned all this to take her revenge from Vidhi as she thought that she had lost her one son just because of Vidhi's mistake. Pratibha repeatedly plotted revenge. She kidnapped Payal and she blamed Vidhi and her mother for plotting with a man for doing all this by sending that man on their honeymoon destination. Imarti, Divya and Bharti took advantage of this and make Vidhi to leave the house.
Vidhi returns on navratri week with the motive of proving her and her mother innocent and she succeeds. Later, Bharti was kidnapped by some goons and Vidhi saved her which created a soft corner for Vidhi in Bharti's Heart.
Pratibha planned a big conspiracy against Vidhi on the occasion of Karwa Chauth. She told Vidhi about Ved's Kundli and requested her for doing pooja for Ved. Meanwhile, she tried to kill Vidhi. Vidhi sincerely did all that and Ved saved her from the master plan of Pratibha Devi.
After the Karwa Chauth, Payal returns Vidhi's house and she still loves Ved. Pratibha Devi took advantage of this and brainwashed Payal against Vidhi. After a lot of tactics used by Payal to win the heart of Ved, she failed each time as Ved now only loves Vidhi. When Vidhi realises it's all done by her mother-in-law, Pratibha Devi, she asked her about the same. Pratibha recalled all the story to Vidhi and Vidhi decided to leave the house to make her mother-in-law happy. She left the house but Payal kidnapped her and pushed her from the valley into the river.
