Tu Sooraj Main Saanjh, Piyaji (lit. You're the sun, I'm the twilight, beloved) is an Indian television soap opera that aired on Star Plus. The series starred Rhea Sharma and Avinesh Rekhi. It was the sequel to the series Diya Aur Baati Hum.[1] Neelu Vaghela, Ashok Lokhande, and Kanika Maheshwari reprised their roles from that series.[2] The series premiered on 3 April 2017 and ended on 1 June 2018.[3] It was originally broadcast in the afternoon 1:00PM during the network's Star Dopahar programming block.[4] On 24 July 2017, the series was moved to prime time 7:00 PM, replacing Star Plus's second-longest-running show, Saath Nibhaana Saathiya.

Plot

The series takes place twenty years after the events in Diya Aur Baati Hum. The story is based on the life of the children of Sooraj and Sandhya, focusing on their daughter, Kanak. Her grandmother, Bhabho, ignores and looks down upon Kanak because, according to her, Kanak is to blame for her parents' death. Later, upon realising her love for Kanak, Bhabho accepts her. Uma Shankar Toshniwal, a superstitious but good-hearted man, forcefully marries Kanak, believing that he has been directed to do so by a sign from Lord Shiva.

Uma is a blind believer in morals taught by his greedy and hypocrite maternal aunt, Nanda Devi Modani, aka 'Maasi Saa'. Kanak sets off on a journey with Uma, who is her exact opposite, to teach him the greatest moral of life – humanity – while she is criticized by Palomi and repeatedly harmed by Maasi Saa, and later, her lewd son, Aditya.

In the process, Kanak falls in love with Uma after establishing herself as the perfect wife for him. In a subplot taking place in Bangkok, Uma and Kanak plot to expose Maasi Saa and Aditya, and prove that Palomi is alive. They succeed in doing so and are about to live happily, when Uma, for some unknown reason, shockingly marries Meera Mittal, daughter of a rich businessman, ditching Kanak.

Two years later

The story then takes a two-year leap, and Kanak eventually reappears in Uma's life, who is now shown as a successful business tycoon of the 'k and u' company. After a lot of misunderstandings, it is revealed that Uma still loves Kanak, and he was actually blackmailed and forced into marrying Meera to save his sister Suman's life. Meera becomes mad with jealousy and vows to destroy Kanak's life. She, alongside Aditya, tries many heinous ways to separate the duo, including attempting to marry off Kanak, but she fails every time and is eventually arrested, thanks to a cunning plan made by Kanak. Aditya also realises his mistake and has a change of heart, becoming loyal to his brother. Kanak and Uma are reunited. It is then that Maasi Saa comes out of jail with the continued desire to harm the protagonists.

Saras, Uma's sister, meanwhile suffers an unfortunate miscarriage, and seeing Uma's grief over the matter, Kanak and Aditya launch a bike ambulance service so that every emergency patient gets admitted to the hospital as quickly as possible. But this noble idea creates many enemies for Uma and Kanak from the very outset, and Dr. Parag, Dean of Pratistha Medical College, joins with Maasi Saa to cancel Uma's license so that he can use the idea to promote his own medical college and take the credit for himself. Kanak decides to study paramedics and become a doctor herself to save the license from being canceled and so that no one can label her as an amateur when she treats patients. After facing several hurdles and hindrances in Dr. Parag's college, she finally succeeds in revealing Dr. Parag's true nature in front of the public and gets him behind bars. It is revealed at this point that Maasi Saa was ill-treated by Dr. Parag while in jail, and she was planning for revenge ever since she got out of jail. She stops plotting against Uma and Kanak and becomes kind towards them.

Uma at this time receives a fake call and is attacked by goons, who also trash his bike ambulance. He recovers some months later, but loses his memory; to everyone's surprise, he turns into the same superstitious person he was before marrying Kanak. He asks Kanak to either choose him or to pursue the paramedics course, as he is against the idea of her studying. Kanak chooses to continue her dream of becoming a doctor. Uma supports her decision, and Aditya then reveals that it was Uma's plan all along to infuse some confidence and passion into Kanak, which she was lacking hitherto, and that he never lost his memory. With her husband at her side, the story finally ends on a happy note as Kanak sets off for her new career with the blessings of Bhabo and other elders.
