Prateek is married to Ritu, who has a younger sister, Amrita. Nihar is in love with Amrita and wishes to marry her. But, the Goyal family forcibly decides to have Ruchita and Nihar marry. Nihar opposes the marriage and tries to elope with Amrita but fails as Amrita leaves to London. Nihar reluctantly marries Ruchita and blames her for the marriage and starts to hate her.
Nihar's mother, Poonam, and his grandmother (Dadi) do not accept Ruchita due to her dark skin; they try to separate her from Nihar. After many struggles, Nihar starts to love Ruchita. After some time, Amrita returns to separate them. She collaborates with Poonam and Dadi to expel her from the house by framing her for Dadi's accident. When Ruchita discovers Amrita and Dadi's truth, and she tries to expose them. Amrita poisons Ruchita making the family believe that Ruchita is dead. Ruchita survives and scares Amrita as a ghost.
