## Plot

Jayram "Jay" Khanolkar is a young man from an impoverished background who desires to start his own business. He is married to his college friend Aditi Dabholkar, the only child of the wealthy Anil Dabholkar. Jay and Aditi struggle to make ends meet. Anil blames Jay for causing hardship to his daughter; however, he refuses to acknowledge that Aditi married Jay of her own free will. Desperate for money, Aditi joins Dev Tours, run by Avinash Dev, despite its policy of not recruiting married employees. Few days later, due to an unfortunate circumstance, one of Jay's business deals goes awry. Jay is compelled to accept a loan of ₹5 lakh from Avinash and join his company. Due to dire financial straits, Jay and Aditi reluctantly conceal their married status and pretend to be ordinary colleagues.
Thus the couple spend their days weaving a web of lies to overcome situations. Jay and Aditi take up residence in Bandra and become close to their landlord, Dinanath Ketkar, and his wife. On one hand, due to the poor decisions of Jay's elder brother, the responsibility of the Khanolkar family gradually falls entirely on Jay's shoulders. On the other hand, a love triangle ensues in the office with Rajni and Jui falling for Jay. Avinash develops feelings for Aditi and is jealous of her closeness with Jay. During his work, Jay crosses paths with his father-in-law. Although Anil is livid upon learning the entire situation, he doesn't expose Jay, and instead, exploits it to harass him by demanding unreasonable standards at work. Jay tolerates this initially, but gradually, he becomes infuriated with Anil's behaviour. He deftly manipulates situations and becomes so successful at work that Anil can do nothing about it. Worse, Anil is eventually forced to share his cabin with Jay. However, Anil comes up with another ploy and deceives Aditi by pretending to have accepted Jay as his son-in-law. Jay does not disclose the ruse for Aditi's happiness.
Eventually, Anil discovers that Avinash's mother wishes Aditi to be her daughter-in-law. He proposes a collaboration with Avinash on a grand project, and Jay is appointed as its leader. Anil also creates opportunities for Avinash and Aditi to be together and uses that to torment Jay. On the other hand, irritated by Rajni's antagonism towards Aditi, Jay emphatically rejects her. Few days later, Jay learns of Avinash's decision to make him a business partner along with Anil Dabholkar. Later, Anil threatens Jay that if Aditi leaves Dev Tours, he will withdraw his entire investment from Avinash's dream project and pin the blame on Jay. Aditi is horrified when Avinash unexpectedly proposes to her. Later, in a desperate bid to persuade Aditi to accept Avinash's proposal, Anil reveals his threat to Jay, which upsets Aditi. Eventually the couple reveal their marital status to everyone and are forgiven because of their immense contribution. The story ends with Anil accepting Jay and Aditi's marriage.
