Plot

[edit]

Four sisters Alka, Anushka, Devyani, and Piya live with their father Narayan Shastri in Kanpur. They lost their mother at a very young age and were raised single-handedly by Narayan. They move to Delhi after Narayan gets a job transfer, where they stay at his childhood friend Surinder Sareen's house. Surinder lives with his wife Minty and two sons, Neil and Rajat. Minty and Neil hate the sisters and try to oust them.

Narayan learns that Alka loves Rajeev, and thus takes a marriage proposal to Rajeev's father, but Narayan gets insulted instead. After knowing all this, Alka apologizes to Narayan. He fixes her alliance to his friend Harishankar's son, Rohan Pandey, and thus the two marry.

Both Anushka and Devyani fall in love with Rajat, who has feelings for Anushka. Neil falls in love with Devyani but she rejects him. When Rajat tries to confess his love for Anushka to his family, Minty and Nikki decide to seek revenge for Neil from Devyani. They create a misunderstanding and make everyone believe that Rajat loves Devyani. Everyone prepares for their engagement and when Anushka learns that Devyani also loves Rajat, she sacrifices her love for Devyani. Rajat learns on his engagement day that he is getting engaged to Devyani and he wants to tell her the truth, but is stopped by Anushka. Anushka makes Rajat promise her to become engaged to her sister and he reluctantly agrees. Rajat and Devyani become engaged. As Minty and Nikki's plan fail, they again try to expose Anushka and Rajat. This time they become successful. Devyani becomes heartbroken after knowing the truth and she insults Anushka, accusing her of taking her fiancé, but Anushka remains silent. Rajat criticises her for disrespecting her sister, and tells her that he loves Anushka and not her. Anushka refuses and says that Rajat is only Devyani's.

The next day, Surinder and Rajat learn about Minty and Nikki. Surinder ousts Nikki from the house and scolds Minty.

Rajat's ex-girlfriend, Karishma, appears. To make Anushka jealous, Rajat announces his marriage to Karishma, but Anushka remains focused on her relationship with her sister. Later, Devyani tries to convince Anushka to stop Rajat's marriage and discusses this matter with Rajat, who insists that Anushka should profess her love for him first. He is later arrested and Anushka is blamed for his arrest. It is revealed that Karishma is responsible.

Rajat and Anushka finally marry. Neil is forced by Minty to marry her friend Leela's daughter, Kajal, which upsets Devyani, who decides to work with Alka. Someone attacks Devyani at work and she suspects Neil's involvement. Anushka blames Neil for hurting Devyani, but he insists that he is innocent. After three days everyone returns home and Neil returns from jail.

Kajal is revealed to have married Neil only for his property, so Minty scolds her and ends her relationship with Neil. Kajal pushes Anushka off a cliff, and Rajat is kidnapped.

One year later, the Sareens and Shastris celebrate. Rajat and Devyani begin the wedding ceremony, but Anushka is revealed to be alive.
