Bani was an orphan who lived with a foster family. She had witnessed her mother's death in a plane crash when she was a child where she survived mysteriously.

Bani later learnt herself being an Icchadari Naagin and even her foster sister Meera also knew about it. Bani never understood her motive of being Naagin. One day she met two strangers (Veer and Jay) in her best friend, Noor's marriage. She slightly started to like Jay as he acted very kind and decent while somehow she used to deeply hate Veer who was a spoilt rich kid. Noor's marriage got cancelled beacause of Veer and later she saw Veer with Noor's dead body which increased her rage. She fought for her friend's justice but failed whereas Veer became completely obsessed with her. She soon interacted with a pair of Naag-Naagin lovers and that Naag got killed by shapeshifting eagles and when the eagles were going to kill the Naagin named Naina, Bani revealed herself as Naagin infront of them and killed them.

   Bani then reached to Shiv temple with Jay where she remembered her past life as Sarvashresth Aadinaagin Naageshwari in Sadh Yug who was separated from her lover, Hriday(Aadinaag) because of an obesssed shapeshifting eagle named Aakesh who wanted to claim Naageshwari and for that he killed Hriday and got himself killed by Naageshwari. Bani then realized Jay being her previous birth lover Hriday.

   Bani then learnt that Meera got engaged to Veer and in anger she announced her marriage with Jay which was scheduled in same day. During the day of wedding, Bani saw Veer throwing Jay from a cliff and revealed her identity infront of Veer. Veer then attacked her and as Lord Shiva's condition Bani was allowed to attack second so she attacked him. Veer then died after got hit by ceiling Jumar. Bani was shocked to see Veer alive and learnt that the dead one was actually Veer's twin brother named Teer. Veer then in rage married Bani for punishing her for killing Teer.

Bani then realized her motive being Aadinaagin was to punish evil eagles for their misdeeds. She then found out that Teer did not die because of her but because of the arrow he was shot during the fight with her. Veer then got shot by arrows while trying to protect Bani . Bani then saved him in return and then soon found out Jay being alive.

Bani got exposed as Aadinaagin infront of Veer's family but Veer supported Bani who by then had already remembered his past life as Aakesh. Slowly Bani started to fall in love with Veer.

    Bani then freed Veer's mother who was captured in a dungeon but soon found out that her mother-in-law was actually Maarkaat, Sarvashreshth Aadinaagin's biggest enemy. Bani also realized Jay being against her and was supporting Maarkaat as she was his mother too and he wanted to claim Bani's powers by killing her. Jay soon joined hands with his stepbrother Veer to save Bani from Maarkaat. They captured Maarkaat.

    Bani soon met an angel named Farishta who came to assist Bani to kill eagles because she forgot her ultimate aim to kill eagles in the love of Veer. Farishta recalled Bani that the relationship of Naagin and Cheel(Eagle) always ended up with destruction and to prevent that Farishta erased Bani's memory from Veer's mind which made Bani suffered a lot.

Bani tried a lot to bring Veer's memory back but failed and got captured by Jay who had become Maarkaat after killing his own mother. Jay then told Bani about the comets to crash into Bani and Veer for breaking the nature's law to kill them and before that Jay wanted to snatch powers from Veer and Bani's child who was in the womb of Bani.
