Plot summary

The story is the journey of a modern young woman who has to find a way to her dreams and who unexpectedly finds a constant companion in the person she least expected it from - her traditional husband and his family.

The serial has followed Sandhya's (Deepika Singh) life since she was a young college-going girl to the time she was forced into marriage following her parents' death to her struggles to find acceptance in a traditional Rajasthani family, to motherhood and most significantly her journey to become an IPS officer as she had always desired and the many challenges of her chosen profession. Her constant supporter has been her husband Sooraj Rathi (Anas Rashid) who has stood by her even when it has threatened to alienate him from his family. He is the favorite child of his mother Santosh Rathi (Neelu Vaghela) but it has not stopped him from standing up to his mother whenever he has felt she is in the wrong. Similarly Santosh or Bhabho, as she is known to all, has never minced words especially when it comes to her daughters-in-law. At the beginning of the series, Bhabho is Sandhya's biggest opponent but over the years has come to become her biggest supporter.

The series has taken several leaps both in time and theme and at present focuses on the latest addition to the Rathi family - Aarzoo (Prachi Tehlan) wife of the family's foster son Chhotu aka Aryan (Kunal Khosla). The story has continued on with when all Rathi women go to visit beach and they meet Santosh's (Neelu Vaghela) old friend Banarasi aka Binny. They learn a disease called neelvish and how Sandhya is shown in not believing in blind faith. On the other hand, there is a secret which Maasa is trying to keep a secret from her bahu, Emily (Pooja Singh). Emily (Pooja Singh) has gotten married to Om (Abhinav Shukla) because his old wife, Purvi has died in a car accident.
