Beautiful to Ugly This story revolves around the love story of Ravjot, known as Jot Vandana Singh and Sukhjit, known as Sukhi Vikram Sidhu. One afternoon, Jot and her friends were ready to leave college when Karnail Navdeep Kaler and a bunch of his friends tease the girls. In anger, Jot slaps him and says a couple words to him. Even though Karnail apologized to Jot and her friends, he plans to do something which will ruin her life forever, which is marriage. Some days later, Karnail noticed that the girls were in the parking lot without a car. He asked them to hop in his Jeep and he would take them home. The girls, except for Jot agreed. Jot was not satisfied by Karnail because she still believes that he is a bad person. Karnail decides to drop Jot first since she lived the farthest from college. When he arrived there, he met Jot's parents and they liked him very much. Meanwhile, Jot goes to Sukhi's place and meets his mother. She liked Jot very much and was keen to make her Sukhi's wife. She decides to come to Jot's house to talk about the marriage. Jot was pleased with her decision and hoped that her parents would accept this offer. The next day Sukhi's mother comes to Jot's house and has a talk with her parents. Her father asks Sukhi's mom what they do and how much "land" do they own. She tells them that she runs a gas station and doesn't have any land. Alarmed by this, Jot's father gets mad at her and tells her that he will never let her daughter marry a poor family. That evening, her father punished her severely for this and told her not to be with him at college. Sukhi's mother goes again, taking Sukhi with her and they still didn't accept their offer. His mother tells him to forget Jot, but he still couldn't.
A New Plan Later on, Jot and Sukhi's friends Sona Surbhi Jyoti and Vijay help them out with their situation. They decide that they will arrange their marriage in the Gurdwara and they will run away from their home. When Karnail finds out about this, he informs Jot's parents and they are very shocked to hear that their daughter would do such a thing. Karnail and his friend Jagtar Sanjeev Mohammed call some gangsters and ask them to beat up Sukhi. Meanwhile, Jot's father gets a heart attack and Karnail takes him to the hospital while the gangsters beat up Sukhi. Jot, Sona, and Vijay get the news about both of them and rush to see them. Jot and Sona arrive in the hospital and get a huge lecture from Jot's mother. Jot is given orders that she is not allowed to see Sukhi or talk to him. The next day, Sukhi's mother comes to Jot's place and has a lecture with her parents regarding what they did to her son. She tells them that once they find out the truth about Karnail they will regret and never forgive themselves for what they did to their daughter. Jot keeps explaining to her parents that Karnail isn't a good person but they choose not to listen to her.
An Awkward Scene Karnail heres that his girlfriend, Aman wants to see him privately. He goes to meet her and she tells him that she is pregnant with his child. She insists him on marrying her so that her reputation wouldn't be ruined. Karnail isn't satisfied with this and asks her to get an abortion, but she refused. Aman's father, Jaswant Singh goes to Karnail's house to see his father, Wasaka Singh. Jaswant talks to Wasaka that his daughter is pregnant with his son's child and he wants his daughter to marry Karnail. Wasaka Singh tells him that if she doesn't want the child she can go to their hospital and get an abortion. Her father explained to him that his son has been playing with Aman's life for two whole years. He still didn't agree to Jaswant's idea. Meanwhile, Karnail is going to have his engagement with Jot and she isn't at all happy about this. Makhan Singh, a villager who works at the Wasaka dairy with Karnail's servant, Rati Rama hears from him that a girl named Aman is pregnant with Karnail's child. Makhan plans to meet her, but by then the doctor came and forcefully did her abortion by the orders given by Wasaka Singh. She tells Makhan that she wants revenge from Karnail and will tell the truth to everyone on the day of his engagement. Karnail hears about her plan and decides to make a plan to murder her. He calls his friends Jagtar and Sunny and ask Sunny to murder her. Sunny soon agrees to the plan and does as he says. On the day of the engagement, they find Aman and make her unconscious. Jagtar leaves to go to the engagement while Sunny leaves her in the car. Sometime later, she wakes up and notices that no one is nearby. She quickly got out of the car but then saw Sunny coming behind her shouting her name. She kept running away from him until she tripped. Sunny put his hands on her mouth to suffocate her and she dies. Jagtar gets a call from Sunny and said that he threw Aman's body in the river. A while later, everyone found out about the murder case and the news reports that Aman committed suicide.
More and More Trouble Meanwhile, there is another murder case which occurs. This happened to a lady named Ruby who worked at Karnail's travel agency. She is said to have been murdered by her partner, Sandhu. Sandhu ran away from the town and hid in his friends basement. Makhan is also being hunted down by Jagtar and Karnail because he is telling their bad deeds to other folks. He decides to run away for that time but then comes back and stays hidden the whole time by Rati Rama. Jot and Sona have finished college and decided to educate poor children. They go to a school and ask the principal if they may use their building for a couple extra hours. The principle agrees and they both start their job. The girls get their money from their parents and Karnail's dad. Vijay is running to be a politician and is running against Karnail's father, Sardar Wasaka Singh. Wasaka Singh calls Vijay over and tells him to not run in the election against him and plans to offer him a huge amount of money but he refuses and tells him that he will run against him and he can't stop him. Karnail's father tells his son to quit his bad deeds and work with Jot at school. He goes to meet her a couple times, but refuses to let him do anything for her. She tells him that just because they are engaged it doesn't mean he should be with his fiancé all the time. Karnail eventually stops and continues his bad deeds. Sukhi has started his music career and his mother wants him married to his partner, Deep. She talks to Deep's father who hired Sukhi to release his album with his daughter and he agrees. Sukhi, who wants to follow Jot's advice on forgetting her and moving on with life agrees. Deep also agrees but knows that deep down inside, he still loves Jot and will only marry her.
New Twists and Turns Jot's parents are lately hearing a lot of negative comments about Karnail's family and about not making Jot their daughter-in-law. Whenever they contact Wasaka Singh to clarify these issues, he tells him that people are always jealous and against them because of how rich they are. Jot's father get's a phone call from a lady from Wasaka Singh's hospital telling him not to marry his daughter. Makhan and Palo are also telling them the same facts along with some more things.
