Plot summary

Aastha (Shrenu Parikh) is a middle-class, free-minded girl who values relationships and stands up for what is right. Shlok (Avinash Sachdev), on the other hand, is the son of a rich business tycoon and believes in wealth more than in relationships.[9] He has a miserable past which makes him hate women, in particular his own mother. After a series of misunderstandings, Shlok mistakenly believes Aastha is responsible for the insult of his parents and the family name and decides to take revenge.

Aastha and Shlok fall in love and are married. On their first night together, Shlok reveals to Aastha that he didn't love her and only wanted to only take revenge. He threatens her that if she reveals this to anyone he'd have her father framed in a case of corruption. Meanwhile Shlok's mother, Anjali, is very strict and attempts to transform Aastha into the daughter-in-law she wants - one who does only what she's told. When Aastha's father is arrested she blames Shlok, leaves his home, and files for divorce. Shlok's father, Niranjan Agnihotri, bribes the judge and Aastha is ordered to stay with Shlok for six months during which she realizes that he is a good person whose past has made him so arrogant. Wanting to change him, she discovers that he was in love with a girl named Swati but they broke up and this led to Shlok's hatred and mistrust of all women. Astha asks Anjali and Shlok's brother Varad about Swati but they ask her to leave it alone.

Enter Aditi, the daughter of a close friend of Niranjan's. In some time it becomes clear that she wants to hurt Shlok so she tries to kill Astha but Shlok saves her every time. Astha discovers Aditi's plans. Aditi destroys any proof that Aastha treis to gather against her. No one believes Astha including Shlok. Aditi arranges Aastha's abduction. While Shlok looks for Aastha, the rest of the Agnihotri family discovers Aditi is the culprit. Shlok rescues Aastha just as Aditi is about to shoot her. Aditi finally reveals that she is actually Swati's sister, Gayatri. Aastha and Shlok are shocked to see Swati in a paralysed condition. Gayatri blames Shlok for Swati's condition and tells them that she came to take revenge. The police arrest her and Swati passes away as her health deteriorates.

Shlok realizes his true feelings for Aastha. They happily consummate their marriage. Aastha soon comes to know that Niranjan is the real villain who has been forcing Anjali to act the way she does. She decides to expose his true nature. It is also shown that Varad is having an extramarital affair with a woman named Mansi who does not believe in marriage. Unhappy with Shlok and Aastha's closeness, Niranjan creates misunderstandings between them. Aastha reveals Niranjan's truth to Shlok but is unable to prove it. Angry at Aastha, he divides the house into two and orders her to stay in one part alone but she is joined by Anjali. Soon, Shlok's sister Jyoti also discovers their father's truth and is heartbroken.
