Plot

The show highlights the story of the Noon family. The Noons are a modern day family known for their strong bonds, ties, values. Vijaypath Noon, one of the top entrepreneurs of India, and owner of the pharmaceutical company Noon Biotech is a Punjabi at heart. He is a caring and loving father to five children, a doting son to his 'Bebe' and a loving husband to his wife Mamta.

His son, Ritvik Noon, a prolific pharmaceutical entrepreneur, doesn’t believe in love, and has deep rooted contempt towards women who, for him, are gold diggers and can’t be trusted. This angst is a result of a deeply troubled childhood, wherein his birth mother had abandoned his father and him for a more prosperous life.

On the other hand, Dr. Palak Sharma is a middle class girl with strong values and principles. She chose a career in the field of medicine due to her past, wherein years ago, she lost her brother due to consumption of unnecessary medicines administered upon him at that time when he was hospitalized. Since then, Palak decided to not let anybody die due to consumption of incorrect medicines.

Ritvik’s and Palak's paths cross with each other on a cold wintry night. Palak's friend Aarohi is heartbroken due to her recent break-up with Ritvik and fears she must have gotten pregnant with her and Rtvik's lovechild. She tells Palak and Setu that Ritvik hadn’t promised her any commitment. Aarohi gets thrilled when she receives a call from Ritvik, who tells her that he wanted to meet her for one last time and that he doesn’t love her because he has found himself another woman. It is later revealed that Aarohi is not pregnant and she breaks down because she has lost Ritvik forever. Palak who has overheard Ritvik and Aarohi’s conversation wishes that she doesn’t cross path with such a man. Yet, when the next day, Aarohi reaches Ritvik's house to try and rekindle their love, Ritvik kisses Palak in a dark room believing her to be his mistress, who had gone there to save Aarohi from going through pain and agony, again. Her blood boiling at the thought of her first kiss being with Ritvik, Palak develops immense hatred for him, hereafter.

Unknown to Ritvik and Palak, their lives are intertwined with each other. Ritvik and Palak’s path cross and when it does, at first it’s deep hatred and later, they become friends with each other. Ritvik and Palak become enemies as quickly as they became friends. With Palak's minimal involvement in the elopement of Samar and Radhika, Ritvik misunderstands Palak. Hurt by what Ritvik says to her, she decides to quit her job and goes to Mumbai.

3 Months Later

Ananya and Ritvik are also engaged, by Mamta's insistance. Palak decides to come to Setu and Ritvik's engagement ceremony. But unbeknownst to Setu, her ex-husband, Kabir, is a friend of Rohit and attends the ceremony. When Kabir cooks up a story about how Setu left him because he did not have money, Ritvik breaks the engagement by announcing it to Rohit's parents. Rohit's parents are ecstatic, as they did not want Setu to be their daughter-in-law and only wanted her father to sign some papers for illegal property for illegal developments because they are greedy for more profits. Rohit starts to hate Ritvik, and tries to show him the truth about Setu and Palak. Ritvik then stops Palak from going back to Mumbai and asks her to help him get Setu and Rohit married. Reeva tries to instill a seed of hatred towards Palak in Ananya.

While Palak and Ritvik are trying to think of ideas to unite Rohit and Setu, Rohit and Setu decide to elope. While trying to bring them back, Ritvik, Palak, Rohit and Setu are brought to the attention of goons. While trying to escape their wrath, Palak and Ritvik get close. On seeing Palak get injured, Ritvik takes Palak to a shed nearby. There, in the heat of the moment, Ritvik and Palak share a kiss.
