Synopsis

Initially, the show focuses on the life and arranged marriages of two female cousins Gopi (Giaa Manek/Devoleena Bhattacharjee) and Rashi (Rucha Hasabnis) and their contrasting personalities. Urmila (Vandana Vithlani) and Jitu adopt Gopi (the latter's niece) after Gopi's parents pass away; she is left illiterate, naive, kind and shy while Rashi, their own daughter, is educated, outgoing, vivacious and cunning. It is the story of how Kokila Modi (Rupal Patel) – the strict, strong-minded mother-in-law of Gopi, transforms the latter into a confident and smarter woman so that she gets accepted by her husband Ahem (Mohammad Nazim). Rashi, tries numerous unsuccessful attempts to create difficulties for Gopi, but in the end both cousins happily get accepted into their families and by their spouses. Kinjal (Firoza Khan), Kokila's daughter, gets married to Dhaval (Ashish Sharma), Rashi's maternal cousin. Gopi gives birth to a daughter, named Meera, while Rashi to twin boys: Sahir and Samar. Gopi also succeeds in finding her long-lost parents, who were thought to be dead. The season ends with Gopi's biological sister Radha (Bhavini Purohit) killing Meera, while Gopi gets the blame, and is thrown out of Modi Mansion.

8 years later

Gopi raises her second daughter Vidya single-handedly, Kokila and Ahem are in depression, and Rashi is the new matriarch of Modi Mansion. Eventually, Gopi reunites with her family, and the family finds out Meera never died, but grew up as an orphan. Radha's true colours are revealed, and she is sent to jail. Then, Rashi sacrifies her life to save Gopi from an obsessed man who was in love with the latter. Rashi's husband Jigar (Vishal Singh) gets married to Paridhi (Loveleen Kaur Sasan), Rashi's maternal cousin. Radha returns, tricks Jigar into sleeping with her and gets pregnant. She gives birth to a girl, who is also named Rashi. Radha threatens to kill baby Rashi and tries to destroy the Modi Family, leaving Gopi no other option but to kill her own sister. Gopi is sentenced to 14 years in jail.

10 years later

Gopi's sentence is reduced due to her good behaviour. Gopi comes back to find that Ahem has disowned his family and has moved to Mumbai with their two daughters, and is in a live-in relationship with another woman, Mansi. Meera (Tanya Sharma) has grown-up to be independent, cunning and short-tempered, while Vidya (Sonam Lamba) is totally Gopi's replica. Ahem and the daughters both blame Gopi of prioritizing others before family. Kokila is living separately, looking after Urmila (who is now mentally disabled), and Junior Rashi (whom Paridhi refuses to accept). Kinjal, Kokila's daughter, has left her husband and son, and is living in her parental home. Eventually, after a lot of twists and turns, Ahem returns home with Meera and Vidya, and the whole family gets reunited. However, Meera refuses to accept Gopi, and blames the Modi Family of always creating problems for her.

Kokila's childhood friend Gaura Suryavanshi (Vandana Pathak) enters the show, to avenge the death of her brother who had died due to Kokila's mistake. The Modi Family – unaware of Gaura's true intentions, get Vidya married to her grandson, Shravan (Kunal Singh); while Gaura manipulates Meera and gets her married – without anyone's knowledge – to Dharam (Amar Upadhyay), her son; therefore, Meera becomes Vidya's mother-in-law. Gaura tries to use Meera against her own family to ruin it, and in some occasions tries to kill Kokila and Ahem – but is unsuccessful, and after a lot of twists and turns (one of which leads to the death of Dharam's first wife, Durga), is arrested and disowned by her own family. Both Meera and Vidya fall in love with their respective spouses and decide to settle down. Sahir (Paras Babbar) – one of Jigar's sons, gets married to Sonakshi (Rashmi Singh), an illiterate, much to the disapproval of Paridhi. Gopi's mother also comes back to take revenge on Kokila for the death of Radha, but is killed in the process. The season ends with Ahem passing away in a car accident.

4 years later

Gopi is in extreme depression after Ahem's passing, has not smiled or talked in 4 years. Kokila decides to accept Dr. Krishna Raheja (Khalid Siddiqui)'s proposal of him marrying Gopi; on the wedding day, Gopi recovers, only to be unwillingly forced to marry Dr. Krishna. Jigar and Paridhi have undergone major personality changes and are no longer the caring and family-oriented persons. Paridhi had kicked out Sahir, Sonakshi and their 2 sons out of Mansion, and gets Jigar's other son Samar (Pratap Hada) married to Monica (Uppekha Jain), an arrogant fashionista. Meanwhile, Meera hates Vidya as she holds the latter responsible for the former's miscarriage, while the real culprit is Naiyya, Shravan's sister. Gopi vows to reunite the Modis by taking over the family business, and eventually succeeds. It is revealed that Krishna is Mansi's brother, and him, Mansi and Pramila (his mother) have come to take revenge on Gopi. Kokila hires Ahem's look-a-like (Jaggi (Mohammad Nazim), illegitimate son of Kokila's husband), to rescue Gopi, and he eventually succeeds. Gopi marries Jaggi to save him from Radhika (a con-woman)'s evil plans, and eventually the family accepts their relationship. Gaura returns once again to avenge the Modis – she pays Chanda (Meera's child's surrogate mother) to trouble the Suryavanshis, and eventually kills her (not before Chanda delivers Meera's twins) when Chanda tries to expose her, putting the blame on Vidya. It is revealed that Gaura was also responsible for the accident that caused Ahem's death. Gaura also later frames Kokila for the attempted murder of Jaggi's mother Urvashi, but eventually all of Gaura's crimes are caught. Jigar, Paridhi, Samar, and Monica move to Canada.

Meanwhile, Sita (Shruti Prakash) is introduced; the Modi Family rescue Sita when her step-mother Bhavani (Priya Marathe) tries to get her forcibly married. Later, Bhavani brainwashes Meera and compels her to leave the house, as she now lusts for Dharam. Gopi finds out that Ramakant (Rohit Suchanti) is her long-lost son, and that Vidya is not her daughter; the babies were swapped, as revealed by Ramakant's dying adoptive mother. Gopi and Jaggi go to Singapore and forcibly bring Ramakant (who is a spoilt, selfish youth) back to India. Ramakant heavily troubles the Modis, but is unable to return to Singapore due to his criminal record. After a lot of twists and turns, Ramakant elopes on the day of his wedding to Sita, stating that all of it was part of his plan. He marries Sameera (Priya Tandon) (who turns out to be the daughter of Anita, Ahem's first girlfriend), who has come for revenge for her mother's death. Meanwhile, Meera realises Bhavani's true colours and returns home, only to be berated by Dharam, who blames her for leaving him. Meera and Vidya strive to expose Bhavani's crimes, one of which is Bhavani killing her husband and Sita's father, Keshavlal. Later, after many twists, Bhavani, Pinku and Sameera are jailed. The show ends with Sita and Ramakant's marriage and everything going well for the Modi Family.
