Story

The story revolves around the three Dixit sisters Bani (Prachi Desai/ Gurdeep Kohli), Piya (Roshni Chopra/ Mansi Verma) and Rano (Arunima Sharma/ Pallavi Purohit) who live in Mount Abu with their widower father, Nishikant Dixit. After their father's death, the three sisters move to Mumbai to live with the wealthy acquaintance of their father, Jai Walia (Ram Kapoor), who is a middle aged man. From hereon, the destinies of the four people take them through unexpected turns and circumstances where the relationship among the three sisters and the promise they made of supporting one another through every thick and thin is tested.

Plot

Kasamh Se is the story of three very different sisters. Bani is the oldest, mature and responsible. Pia is the middle child, modern and glamorous. Rano is the youngest, studious and intelligent. After their father's death, the sisters go to Mumbai to live with the family of wealthy business tycoon, Jai Walia (Ram Kapoor). Bani falls in love with Jai's employee, Pushkar (Naman Shaw). But Pushkar and Pia love each other, so Bani sacrifices her love for the sake of her sister. Jai falls in love with Pia and proposes to her. She agrees to marry him for his wealth. However, moments before the wedding, Pia elopes with Pushkar. Jai's domineering sister Jigyasa doesn't want the Walia family to be humiliated, so, she forces Bani to take Pia's place as bride. Actually she hates Bani, Pia Rano.Jigyasa's ex-husband Aditya supports Bani. Jai ends up marrying Bani, and though their relationship gets off to a rocky start, with time, they become friends. Jigyasa's unmarried daughter, Anu, has a boyfriend named Rohit and she is expecting his child. Rohit's father has a condition: his son will marry Anu only if Jigyasa's younger son Sahil marries Rohit's older sister Rashi. The Walia family accepts this proposal, but Sahil and Rano are in love; the two elope. Sahil's older brother Ranbir then agrees to marry Rashi. Bani and Jai finally fall in love and consummate their relationship.

Bani is expecting Jai's child. Pia, who has broken off with Pushkar, gets interested in Jai again. When Jai goes on a business trip, Pia drugs him; the two have a one-night stand, leaving Jai shaken up. Bani is attacked by a stranger and loses her unborn child. When Jai returns, Bani confesses her love to him. Jai becomes ecstatic and reunites with her. Pia tries to convince Bani that Jai is having an extra-marital affair. On Bani's first wedding anniversary, it is revealed that Pia is expecting Jai's child. Pia makes Jai reveal this news before Bani and the latter goes into a state of shock. When she comes to her senses, she forgives Jai and Pia.

Ranbir starts caring for Rashi, whom he had initially disliked. But she leaves him because she has a serious illness. Pia plans revenge against Bani. Rano's husband Sahil gets killed. The family members then get Rano, who has just given birth to a baby boy, married to Ranbir. Bani decides to investigate the death of Sahil. Pia gives birth to a baby boy, whom she names Veer. It is revealed that it was Pia who got Sahil killed. Pia frames Bani for the murder and blackmails Jai, saying he can choose between Bani getting 5 years in a mental asylum or life imprisonment. Jai realizes that 5 years are better than a life sentence. Helpless, he testifies in court that Bani is insane, thus sending her to mental asylum. In the asylum, Bani delivers twin babies, but Jai takes them away. Bani runs away from the asylum and becomes trapped in a wildfire. Everybody assumes she has burnt to death. Jai is shocked and falls into depression. In this depressed state, he gets married to Pia. Bani is actually saved by a handsome stranger named Aparajit Deb, who gives her shelter in his house.

5 Years Later

Jai has become unfeeling after losing his love. Pia and Jigyasa frequent parties, nightclubs, discos and cinemas. Pia does not take care of her son Veer or Bani's children. Rano hates Pia for what she has done. Ranbir is now in love with Rano. Bani harbors a deep hatred and anger for the Walia family for what they did to her. Jai and Bani's twin kids, Atharva and Krishna, are now 5-year-olds. Deb knows everything about Bani and transforms her into a strong, confident woman hellbent on getting revenge. Bani changes her name to Durga and lives with Deb's family. Deb is an equally angry and vengeful man, who has lost the love of his life, Pallavi, and believes Jai is responsible. One day, Jai sees Durga and instantly knows she is Bani. Pia joins hands with Jigyasa to ruin Bani.

Bani regularly visits her children in school and Jai is ecstatic when he sees her. This happiness is quickly crushed when Durga destroys the Walia business. She feels unhappy, however, to see Jai in a helpless state and realizes she still loves him. Deb falls in love with Durga. Now caught in a love triangle, Durga reverts to her old self Bani, when she learns that whatever Jai did was only to save her. Jai explains that he was not responsible for what happened to Pallavi and Aparajit leaves, satisfied. Bani throws Pia out of the house and Pia meets with an accident, becoming paralyzed. Bani and Rano decides to help their sister. Jai finds that he has lost all his property. To save Jai from ruin, Bani goes to her hometown to arrange for money by getting her house demolished. Rashi gets cured and returns home; Ranbir does not know what to do. He decides to kill Rashi so that he can live peacefully with Rano. Bani saves Rashi; Ranbir is sent to jail. Jigyasa swears to take revenge on Bani.

Bani meets Daksh, a mentally unstable young man. He mysteriously calms down whenever he sees Bani and has deep affection for her. Bani finds out this is because she had an identical twin sister named Anamika. When they were born, her mother gave Anamika to a childless friend. Daksh and Anamika were in love but she died and since then, he has been mentally unstable. Bani helps Daksh get better and they become good friends. Bani's twin children are kidnapped and murdered. Bani is thrown out after a misunderstanding caused by Jigyasa, who convinces Jai that Bani has an affair with Daksh. Jai's aunt Billo Masi sides with Bani and decides to leave the house with her. Bani decides to kill herself but Maasi and Daksh save her, and it is found that she is expecting a child. Bani decides to live for the sake of her daughter Ganga. Jai gets married to his office secretary Meera so she can take care of the children but does not love her.

Another 5 years later

Bani changes her name to Maithili and lives with Ganga in a small town. They return to Mumbai and Bani and Jai come face-to-face but he insults her. Bani takes up a job as a waitress; Jai bribes the manager to get her fired. Ganga befriends Rashi's daughter Vidya, and starts visiting the Walia family. Meera becomes friends with Bani and helps her with money. One day, Ganga badly hurts herself and needs to be hospitalized. But the hospital staff refuses to admit her without a cash deposit.

Jai and Bani have to reunite to cure Ganga. Bani returns to the Walia mansion, and Jai again starts to love her.

When he learns that Bani never had an affair with Daksh, he begs her forgiveness. Bani flatly rejects his proposal and leaves. In the turn of events, Jigyasa admits to be the killer of Atharva and Krishna and she goes to jail. Bani is not convinced about Jigyasa's revelation and thinks that somebody is blackmailing Jigyasa to take the blame of the murder. Her doubts are confirmed when she meets Jigyasa in jail. Jigyasa reveals that the kidnapper had threatened to kill her son Ranbir on phone and so she took the blame of kidnapping and murder of Bani's children. Bani becomes determined to find her children's killer. Bani then finds Pia, paralyzed, and it's revealed that Pia knows who killed Atharva and Krishna. Daksh also finds out the identity of the killer but, before he can reveal anything, he is murdered. Bani gives birth to twins again, and names them Atharva and Krishna after her first two children. The Walia family go to Bani's house in Mount Abu to celebrate Meera's birthday on Bani's insistence. On the same night, Bani finds out that the killer of her children was Meera. Five years ago, Meera got the Walia twins murdered because she wanted to separate Bani from Jai, whom she wanted to marry. Meera and Bani have a showdown in the woods. Meera beats Bani's head against rocks and sets her on fire. Bani falls off a cliff into the water below. Her newborn son Atharva, whom Meera had taken, gets lost in the woods. Bani is assumed to be dead, which completely shatters Jai.

Bani has survived the ordeal. She is taken to the hospital and has been badly burned, so she gets a new appearance after plastic surgery. Bani awakens and finds that she has lost all her memory. The elderly man named Partho Mitra who saved her adopts her as his daughter and names her Pronita. She repeatedly sketches portraits of her old face but doesn't recognize it as hers. She also has frequent flashbacks of Meera's attack on her.

16 years later

Sixteen years later, Jai and Bani's children are all grown up and the Walia family still miss Bani. Pronita lives in Kolkata. Pronita goes to Mount Abu for a painting exhibition and goes to the temple where she was murdered and meets Jai Walia, though he doesn't recognize her because of her different face. Jai offers Pronita to teach painting to Ganga and Pronita accepts it. Pronita reaches Mumbai and is invited to the Walia household, where they are having a party to honour Bani. For the first time after 16 years, Pronita sees Meera and all her flashbacks become clear. Her memory returns and she remembers everything from the beginning when she and her sisters first arrived to the Walia family to her attempted murder by Meera and she herself is Bani. Shocked and devastated, Pronita vows to revenge on Meera. Meera had spoilt Ganga and Krishna because she hates Bani and her daughters. She has also spoilt her own son Vicky. Jai comes to know about this truth of Meera. Pronita decides to help Jai to reform the children. Jai tricks Meera into signing divorce papers. Pronita marries Jai. She is supported by Jigyasa who returns to take her revenge on Meera for separating her from her brother and family.

Vicky starts supporting Pronita because he had come to know about Meera's truth. Krishna also comes on Pronita' side. Pronita first tortures Meera mentally.
