The soap opera tells the tale of the Wadhwa family and its daughter-in-law, Kumkum. The show used to tell the story of the married couple of Sumit and Kumkum Wadhwa but, in an earlier episode, Kumkum was shot and Sumit killed himself. They were reborn, with Sumit being very shy and living with a big family in Delhi and Kumkum being born as a fun-loving prankster with her family in a village. Both hate each other after meeting in college but, due to circumstances, they have to pretend to be married in front of their families.
