Plot

Saloni is a 24 year old girl who has a dark complexion and the story shows how Saloni's courage and strength lets her continue to overshadow her complexion and also to get on board a journey to search for her own identity hence the tagline -"Saloni ka Safar" which means "Saloni's journey".

At the beginning of the story, Saloni's mother treats Saloni's sister Shubra and brother Samar better than Saloni because they have fair skin. And because of her skin complexion, Saloni goes through a lots of tribulation to achieve her mother's love. But as time goes by, Saloni gets married to rich guy Nahar Singh, who was supposed to be engaged to Shubra, but chooses Saloni instead because of her maturity. And because of this, Shubra hates Saloni even more. As time passes by Shubra falls in love with a guy name Karan, who wants to take revenge from Shubra because of the insult she gave him by slapping on his face front of all of his friend in the school.

Saloni knows Karan's intentions and tries to warn Shubra, but Karan instigates Shubra by telling her that Saloni is jealous of her happiness. He tells her that they will get married and lures her to have intimate relations with him. A few days later, Shubra finds out that she is pregnant and tries to hide this truth from her family, but eventually her family finds out. Knowing that Shubra is pregnant before marriage, Saloni's family is ashamed and worries that who will marry their daughter now. Saloni is also very tensed with Shubra's misdeed, and seeing Saloni stressed out, Neel (Saloni's childhood friend) agrees to get marry to Shubra. And they get marry, but even after getting married, Shubra still affairs with Karan who promised her that they will run away and get marry. But as a wise man have said, "truth is never hidden for long", Shubra also realizes that Karan have used her against her family, but now it is too late to repent on her mistakes because Neel have found out that she is still having an affair with Karan, and he leaves her. And as time goes by, Shubra ends up marrying Kunjan Pratap Singh who was earlier engaged to Saloni.

On the other hand, at Saloni's in-laws's house, her husband's aunt, Kuki Kaki comes to stay with them, who wants to break Nahar-Saloni's relationship because he didn't get married to the girl that she chose for him. As the story takes turns, it is discovered that Nahar was earlier married to a girl name Chandini, whom he killed because she wanted to marry Nahar's older brother Brijesh. But as the story unfolds, it is discovered that Kuki Kaki was the one that killed Chandini, and blamed Nahar for it. Later, Tara's sister Urvashi comes as a surrogate mother since Tara cannot conceive, but when it comes to give the child to Tara & Brijesh, she runs away with the child because she wants to get marry to Brijesh. On the other hand, Neel comes back and wants to obtain his childhood love Saloni. He hires a guy name Yug to create a rift between Saloni & Nahar's relationship. He makes Nahar think that Saloni is having an affair with Yug. Nahar also comes under Neel's target and he throws Saloni out until the misunderstanding clears up.

Later on as the story goes through a lots of different phases, Abhi, the son of Saloni's aunt Manno Bhabhi comes, but after a while it is discovered that he is a traitor and not really her son. He marries Nahar's sister Pia and rapes her. Finally he is thrown out. Then Urvashi comes back and blackmails Saloni, who is pregnant. She says "I will give back the baby to the family if you get out of Nahar's life, and don't tell anyone about this." As Saloni have seen her sister-in-law, Tara crying for her baby everyday, Saloni agrees with the bet of Urvashi. To acquire the baby, Saloni makes the family hate her and is thrown out. But Urvashi deceives Saloni, and doesn't give the baby back and Saloni goes to protest. Aditi, Nahar's older sister, follows her and finds out the truth. She apologises and wants to take Saloni back to the house and tell everyone the truth. But Urvashi fails her car's breaks, and in this Aditi gets killed and Saloni loses her memory.

Now Saloni gets admitted to Nishi's (Neel's fiance's) hospital, and Neel, who is good now, with the help of his fiance doctor Nishi, bring her back to her senses. She still has memory loss but Nahar finds her and everything is okay. But Urvashi has married Nahar's uncle and says if they tell him about this all, she will kill the child. Urvashi does not know about Saloni being still alive. The family fools her into thinking that Saloni is Chirmi and bringing her back into the house, where they plan revenge. Urvashi finds out but then the baby is found and Urvashi is in jail. Later, Saloni tells everyone that it would not been easy exposing Urvashi if Kshitij (Nahar's cousin) wouldn't have helped them. Then a generation leap takes place.[2][3]
