Plot

The story of this serial is based on the life of the protagonist, Jasmeet "Jassi" Walia (Mona Singh), who is an unattractive bespectacled nerd with braces over her teeth and an odd style of dressing. She is a somewhat naive but intelligent woman. She is constantly mocked by her more beautiful female (and sometimes male) colleagues, while being in love with her boss, Armaan Suri (Apoorva Agnihotri).

The show chronicles her life in the workplace and how she wins the hearts of her colleagues and her boss, mainly due to her warm and humorous nature, and is plotted against by her superior Mallika (Rakshanda Khan), who feels insecure about her presence.

Jassi eventually gets a proposal of marriage from Purab Mehra (Sameer Soni), and agrees to marry him because she feels that she had reached a dead end with her love for Armaan. Later Purab's friend comes and tells Purab that he can't marry Jassi. Influenced, he goes away. Jassi hates Purab now. Later, Jassi finds out that all the sympathy Armaan was showering on her, and all the romantic poems that were sung to her, were just a means of manipulating her to alter the company ledger to cover immense losses, and she leaves. She runs away to Mauritius to escape this nightmare. There she meets Purab again. She then gets a total makeover and later she and Purab become friends.

Jassi comes back to India as Jessica Bedi. She starts a company and takes over Armaan's company Gulmohur. Nandu (Gaurav Gera), her best friend, doesn't know she's back, but she tells him later.

When Mallika finds out, she plots and gets Jessica arrested on grounds of her murdering Jassi. When Jassi a.k.a. proves herself innocent, and therefore reveals that Jassi and Jessica are the same person, she and the then-near dead Armaan reunite.

Later, Armaan and Jassi are going to get married. Before that, she goes to Malaysia because Purab has cancer. After he dies, she returns, depressed. Purab's friend, C.J., vows to take revenge, as he blames Jassi for his friend's death. He brings her to Nainital for a meeting. Armaan, arriving later, sees C.J. and Jassi together in the same room (Jassi is unconscious).

Armaan suspects Jassi. They have a fight and, in anger, she goes to Nainital on the day of the wedding. C.J. then writes a fake letter stating they have eloped and are getting married. In anger Armaan marries, Mallika because Jassi is not there. Jassi thinks badly of Armaan, because C.J. has told her that Armaan has married Mallika. Jassi does not know the truth about C.J. until later.

Jassi stays in Nainital under the name of Neha Shastri. There she meets Raghav (Karan Oberoi), a guitar player. He begins to like her. His father wants him to be married, and he is also sick, so they pretend that they are married. Armaan thinks that they are really married. And again, after a lot of time, it's revealed she's not married. Mallika is killed while trying to murder Jassi.

Armaan and Jassi marry. Raghav dies, killed by C.J who is Raghav's brother. Jassi gets pregnant. Armaan and Jassi lose the company ownership to Mallika's brother Aryan (Vinay Jain). Jassi miscarries in the pressure. Armaan leaves home to get a job and is helped by Shiuli (who loved him) to get back Gulmohur. Aryan dies towards the end, too. Armaan and Jassi live happily ever after.
