Plot
The story is about 3 sisters who promise to support each other. Bani is the oldest, mature and responsible. Pia is the middle child, modern and glamorous. Rano is the youngest, studious and intelligent. After their father's death, the sisters go to Mumbai to live with the family of wealthy business tycoon, Jai Walia (Ram Kapoor). Bani falls in love with Jai's employee, Pushkar (Naman Shaw). But Pushkar and Pia love each other, so Bani sacrifices her love for the sake of her sister. Jai falls in love with Pia and proposes to her. She agrees to marry him for his wealth. However, moments before the wedding, Pia elopes with Pushkar. Jai's domineering sister Jigyasa doesn't want the Walia family to be humiliated, so, she forces Bani to take Pia's place as bride. Jai ends up marrying Bani, and though their relationship gets off to a rocky start, with time, they become friends. Jigyasa's unmarried daughter, Anu, has a boyfriend named Rohit and she is expecting his child. Rohit's father has a condition: his son will marry Anu only if Jigyasa's younger son Sahil marries Rohit's older sister Rashi. The Walia family accepts this proposal, but Sahil and Rano are in love; the two elope. Sahil's older brother Ranbir then agrees to marry Rashi. Bani and Jai finally fall in love and consummate their relationship.

Bani is expecting Jai's child. Pia, who has broken off with Pushkar, gets interested in Jai again. When Jai goes on a business trip, Pia drugs him; the two have a one-night-stand, leaving Jai shaken up. Bani is attacked by a stranger and loses her unborn child. When Jai returns, Bani confesses her love to him. Jai becomes ecstatic and reunites with her. Pia tries to convince Bani that Jai is having an extra-marital affair. On Bani's first wedding anniversary, it is revealed that Pia is expecting Jai's child. Bani gets a call that another man named Anupam Kapadia has come to the party. But he is without an invitation. When Bani inquires with the couple, the lady says that their names are Sagar and Vidya. Bani then begins to feel that the second couple that was introduced to her by Jai, must be the real Anupam Kapadia. They even perform a dance number for the second time, at the end of which Pia begins to argue with them. Mrs. Kapadia i.e Anita, allegates Anupam of having a relation with Pia. Pia tells him that she is carrying his child. Anupam gets furious at her, for spoiling his life and shoots Pia in her stomach. Jai is shocked and holds Pia. Jai reveals that Pia is carrying his (Jai's) child and not Anupam's. Bani appears there and overhears them and goes into a state of shock. When she comes to her senses, she forgives Jai and Pia. Ranbir starts caring for Rashi, whom he had initially disliked. But she leaves him because she has a serious illness. Pia plans revenge against Bani. Rano's husband Sahil gets killed. The family members then get Rano, who has just given birth to a baby boy, married to Ranbir. Bani decides to investigate the death of Sahil. Pia gives birth to a baby boy, whom she names Veer. It is revealed that it was Pia who got Sahil killed. Pia frames Bani for the murder and blackmails Jai, saying he can choose between Bani getting 5 years in a mental asylum or life imprisonment. Jai realizes that 5 years are better than a life sentence. Helpless, he testifies in court that Bani is insane, thus sending her to mental asylum. In the asylum, Bani delivers twin babies, but Jai takes them away. Bani runs away from the asylum and becomes trapped in a wildfire. Everybody assumes she has burnt to death. Jai is shocked and falls into depression. In this depressed state, he gets married to Pia. Bani is actually saved by a handsome stranger named Aparajit Deb, who gives her shelter in his house.

5 Years later Jai has become unfeeling after losing his love. Pia and Jigyasa frequent parties, nightclubs, discos and cinemas. Pia does not take care of her son Veer or Bani's children. Rano hates Pia for what she has done. Ranbir is now in love with Rano. Bani harbors a deep hatred and anger for the Walia family for what they did to her. Jai and Bani's twin kids, Atharva and Krishna, are now 5-year-olds. Deb knows everything about Bani and transforms her into a strong, confident woman hellbent on getting revenge. Bani changes her name to Durga and lives with Deb's family. Deb is an equally angry and vengeful man, who has lost the love of his life, Pallavi, and believes Jai is responsible. One day, Jai sees Durga and instantly knows she is Bani. Pia joins hands with Jigyasa to ruin Bani. Bani regularly visits her children in school and Jai is ecstatic when he sees her. This happiness is quickly crushed when Durga destroys the Walia business. She feels unhappy, however, to see Jai in a helpless state and realizes she still loves him. Deb falls in love with Durga. Now caught in a love triangle, Durga reverts to her old self Bani, when she learns that whatever Jai did was only to save her. Jai explains that he was not responsible for what happened to Pallavi and Aparajit leaves, satisfied. Bani throws Pia out of the house and Pia meets with an accident, becoming paralyzed. Bani and Rano decides to help their sister. Jai finds that he has lost all his property. To save Jai from ruin, Bani goes to her hometown to arrange for money by getting her house demolished. Rashi gets cured and returns home; Ranbir does not know what to do. He decides to kill Rashi so that he can live peacefully with Rano. Bani saves Rashi; Ranbir is sent to jail. Jigyasa swears to take revenge on Bani. Bani meets Daksh, a mentally unstable young man. He mysteriously calms down whenever he sees Bani and has deep affection for her. Bani finds out this is because she had an identical twin sister named Anamika. When they were born, her mother gave Anamika to a childless friend. Daksh and Anamika were in love but she died and since then, he has been mentally unstable. Bani helps Daksh get better and they become good friends. Bani's twin children are kidnapped and murdered. Bani is thrown out after a misunderstanding caused by Jigyasa, who convinces Jai that Bani has an affair with Daksh. Jai's aunt Billo Masi sides with Bani and decides to leave the house with her. Bani decides to kill herself but Maasi and Daksh save her, and it is found that she is expecting a child. Bani decides to live for the sake of her daughter Ganga. Jai gets married to his office secretary Meera so she can take care of the children but does not love her.

Another 5 years later Bani changes her name to Maithili and lives with Ganga in a small town. They return to Mumbai and Bani and Jai come face-to-face but he insults her. Bani takes up a job as a waitress; Jai bribes the manager to get her fired. Ganga befriends Rashi's daughter Vidya, and starts visiting the Walia family. Meera becomes friends with Bani and helps her with money. One day, Ganga badly hurts herself and needs to be hospitalized. But the hospital staff refuses to admit her without a cash deposit. Bani helplessly goes to Jai's office and begs him for money. Jai humiliates Bani but gives her the money. Jai finds out that Ganga is his daughter. It is found that Ganga has cancer. Jai and Bani have to reunite to cure Ganga. Bani returns to the Walia mansion, and Jai again starts to love her. When he learns that Bani never had an affair with Daksh, he begs her forgiveness. Bani flatly rejects his proposal and leaves. Bani then finds Pia, paralyzed, and it's revealed that Pia knows who killed Atharva and Krishna. Daksh also finds out the identity of the killer but, before he can reveal anything, he is murdered. Bani gives birth to twins again, and names them Atharva and Krishna after her first two children. She finds out that the killer of her children was Meera. Five years ago, Meera got the Walia twins murdered because she wanted to separate Bani from Jai, whom she wanted to marry. Meera beats Bani's head against rocks and sets her on fire. Bani falls off a cliff into the water below. Her newborn son Atharva, whom Meera had taken, gets lost in the woods. Bani is assumed to be dead, which completely shatters Jai. Bani has survived the ordeal. She is taken to the hospital and has been badly burned, so she gets a new appearance after plastic surgery. Bani awakens and finds that she has lost all her memory. The elderly man who saved her adopts her as his daughter and names her Pronita. She repeatedly sketches portraits of her old face but doesn't recognize it as hers. She also has frequent flashbacks of Meera's attack on her.

16 years later Jai and Bani's children are all grown up and the Walia family still miss Bani. Pronita goes to the temple where she was murdered and meets Jai Walia, though he doesn't recognize her because of her different face. Pronita is invited to the Walia household, where they are having a party to honour Bani. For the first time after 16 years, Pronita sees Meera and all her flashbacks become clear. Her memory returns and she remembers everything from the beginning when she and her sisters first arrived to the Walia family to her attempted murder by Meera. Shocked and devastated, Pronita vows to revenge on Meera. Pronita first tortures Meera mentally but Meera soon figures out that Pronita is Bani herself. She attempts to kill Pronita the same way she did 16 years ago. Just when she is on the verge of death, Pronita finds her strength again and fights back. Right at the moment when Meera is about to kill her, Jai arrives, realizing the truth and sends Meera to jail. Rano and Pia are determined to expose Jigyasa, lending their support to Bani. They promise Bani to get back her lost identity. Bani insist them to help her secretly. Jigyasa insults Pronita(Bani) on her return which turns Pia furious. Shocked and joyous at realizing that Pronita is Bani, he and Bani reunite happily after 16 long years. Pia arrives with her husband Pushkar and Rano arrives as well. After such a long time, the three sisters come together. On Holi, the original Bani (Prachi Desai) makes a special appearance as the entire Walia family celebrate and all ends well on Kasamh Se.
