## Summary

Joba is a kind-hearted maid in the Sengupta family. Senguptas' youngest son, Param Sengupta returns to Kolkata and is forced to marry Joba to save her life. He encourages Joba to complete her studies and fulfil her dream of becoming a private-practicing lawyer. Senguptas' eldest daughter-in-law, Tandra sees Joba as mere a servant and often tortures her. Eventually, Param and Joba develop feelings for each other. Tandra, Gouri, Palak and Tandra's mother join hands to plot against Joba.
Tandra's attempts make Tanna mute and Joba is jailed for the same. She fakes her pregnancy to compete with pregnant Joba. Joba gives birth to a son, who is stolen by Tandra. Joba is told that her son is born dead. Tandra adopts the new-born daughter of a slum-dweller, Minoti and claims her as her daughter. Further, she supplies Param with memory-losing drugs while Joba is taken back to jail.
Joba returns and helps Param to regain his memory. Tanna recovers his speech and proves Joba's innocence. Palak apologizes to Joba for all her taunts. Joba and Param adopt a orphan named Supari, who turned out to be their long-lost son. Joba learns that Tandra's daughter, Anu is being Minoti's child. Tandra acts as paralyzed to escape jail punishment and secretly contacts with Sanjay and her mother. Joba and Param's daughter, Koyel is born. Supari is paralyzed due to interior damage and needs to be treated abroad.
Supari has been renamed as Sarthak. Joba, Param and Sarthak travel to America, leaving Koyel in care of the other Sengupta family members. Tandra poisons Koyel's mind against her parents, especially Joba for prioritizing Sarthak than Koyel.
Koyel has grown to be spoilt and addicted to drugs, as the results of Tandra and Sanjay's plans. Joba, Param and Sarthak return to India and are startled by Koyel's behavior. Joba tries to change Koyel's behavior and eventually wins her heart. The Senguptas are now assisted by a girl Itu, who is close to Koyel and Joba. Tinni marries a society entrepreneur Soheli's son, Adi. Senguptas' visits Itu's village, "Phultuli" where Sarthak is forced to marry Itu.
Sarthak refuses to accept Itu as his wife and has feelings for Soheli's daughter, Rinki, who wants to put Joba down. Joba reveals Tandra's fake act and has her arrested. Rinki and Soheli try to create problems among Sarthak and Itu, but in vain. Rinky marries Tanna. Later, Koyel falls ill and needs to have a bone marrow transplant. To save her life, Joba and Param have another daughter, Kuhu.

Pratap is arrested and Joba reunites with her mother and sister, Panchali. Bishan poisons Koyel's mind against Joba. Koyel studies law to defeat Joba by fighting cases against deprived people. To reform her, Joba insists Itu to study law.
Sarthak and Itu have a son, Shayan and Itu becomes a lawyer. Koyel loses a case and reconciles with Joba. Tandra returns to the Senguptas after faking her cancer. She tries to kill Joba, who survives. Joba disguises herself as Mr. Singh, with the help of her family, in order to defeat Tandra once and for all.
