Plot

Anshuman (Mohammed Iqbal Khan), owner of Rathore Mansion in Shimla, was married by his father to a girl named Paakhi (Shraddha Arya) at a very young age. Tension between the two families resulted in Paakhi not going to her in-laws' house. Anshuman married a girl of his choice when he came of age, but she died in a car accident and left him with a son named Ayan (Divyam Dama). Time passed and Anshuman decided to marry Tanya (Madhura Naik), the daughter of a rich businessman. But when the news of his first wife is exposed, he unwillingly has to take Paakhi in. As Anshuman wants to marry Tanya, he and his sister, Lavanya (Rukhsar Rehman), try to taunt and bully Paakhi into agreeing to a divorce, but Paakhi doesn't bend and Anshuman begins falling in love with her.

When Paakhi realises that it was Anshuman and not just Lavanya who wanted her to go, and not wanting him to be blamed for their divorce, she calls the media and announces that she is the 1 who wanted it for part of Rathor property as alimony. As Paakhi prepares to leave Rathore Mansion, her brother-in-law Girish (Sachin Shroff) convinces her Anshuman is in love with her and not with Tanya. Paakhi returns to Rathore Mansion and asks for a week's challenge in exchange for the divorce. The challenge is that Tanya has to manage the household on a weekly budget.

Tanya wins the challenge, but Anshuman says that he still cannot ask Paakhi to leave as she has become like a real mother to Ayan. It is then revealed that Tanya cheated in the challenge by taking money from Ayan's piggy bank, and that she brainwashed Ayan to believe that Anshuman had killed his first wife so he would side with her. Realising that her plan has fallen flat, Tanya tries to kill Paakhi in her desperation but fails. Anshuman drives Tanya out of the house and declares his love for Paakhi.

For revenge, Tanya creates circumstances leading Anshuman to believe that Paakhi is cheating on him and he confronts and humiliates her, which causes her to leave. Anshuman realizes that he misunderstood Paakhi and writes to her to come back. Paakhi writes back saying she can't live with him. Anshuman visits her village to convince her to return, but she moves to New Delhi. There she meets Devki (Anita Raj), Anshuman's long-lost mother who was banished by his father, accusing her of cheating, when he was a child, and reunites her with her son, who follows Paakhi to apologise. Paakhi forgives him and agrees to return to Shimla with him to restart their life.

Unfortunately, Paakhi's dreams and happiness are destroyed when Anshuman is killed by his younger, look-alike brother, Aryaman (Mohammed Iqbal Khan). Paakhi stops grieving and grows stronger as she realises she has to look after her husband's business and after Ayan. Anshuman's cousin Veer Pratap Singh (Veer) (Varun Badola) helps Paakhi do this and she later marries him under pressure by her family. Paakhi also adopts a troubled teenaged girl named Priya (Jasmine Avasia) who has been thrown out by her father. Veer and Paakhi realise that she will never be able to move on from Anshuman's death and get a divorce.
