Plot

Aditya Hooda and Zoya Siddiqui are two individuals brought together by fate through their spouses' betrayal.

Aditya and Zoya's spouses Pooja Mathur and Yash Arora are found dead together in a road accident. They discover that the two were having an affair and are left shocked. Aditya channels his grief into anger while Zoya goes into denial. They receive divorce papers from Pooja and Yash that reach them late. Unable to run from the truth anymore, Zoya attempts suicide but is saved by Aditya.

As the two bond, CBI Inspector Rajveer Khanna enters their lives with a relentless hunger to put them behind bars. He believes that they are guilty for the murder of their spouses and frames the two as such. Having grown to trust one another, Aditya and Zoya go on the run to prove their innocence.

Harshvardhan proves them innocent. Aditya and Zoya read Pooja's diary and break down, learning that Pooja was pregnant with Yash's child. Broken but resolute, Aditya and Zoya decide to move on. Together, they forgive Yash and Pooja. Aditya leaves for Paris, wanting time to reflect on himself, while Zoya focuses on reviving her bankrupt company.

Six months later

Zoya is a successful entrepreneur; Aditya remains in Paris. Sakshi is being held hostage by Anjana. Zoya supports Noor and Arjun when she finds out about their feelings. When Aditya returns, he finds Zoya a more confident and assertive person while he himself has become quieter. Their friendship blooms as they begin spending time together. Aditya feels new emotions arising in his heart for Zoya. He ignores them at first but later accepts that he has fallen in love with her.

When Aditya decides to confess to Zoya, he comes to know about her suitor Arshad Habib. Jealousy hits Aditya as he sees Arshad and Zoya spending time together. Meanwhile, Sakshi is aware about Anjana being Pooja and Yash's murderer and warns her of the fact. In fear of getting exposed, Anjana pushes Sakshi off a cliff. Differences arise between Arjun and Noor. Aditya confesses his love to Zoya due to which she misunderstands him.

Amidst the confusion, Zoya agrees to marry Arshad. Aditya confronts her and asks her to listen to her heart. Zoya remains obstinate but his words continue to linger in her mind. She tries faking a smile but realizes she is genuinely not happy. On the wedding day, Zoya reminisces her moments with Aditya. She accepts her feelings for him due to which Waseem breaks ties with her. Aditya proposes Zoya and they get married, promising to always love, trust and stand by each other.

Zoya gets anonymous messages and calls, threatening her. The blackmailer is revealed to be Kalpana Dadeech. She brings out the truth about Rajveer being Harshvardhan's son and reveals the past wherein her daughter Pallavi was pregnant with Rajveer but Harshvardhan, unaware of it, had married Anjana. Heartbroken and shattered, Pallavi had committed suicide. Rajveer and Kalpana kill Harshvardhan to avenge Pallavi's death. They frame Aditya, who is found unconscious near Harshvardhan's body, holding the knife smeared with blood. Anjana goes in shock and Arjun leaves the house. Rajveer causes misunderstandings between Aditya and Zoya. The two, broken and helpless, go their separate ways.

One year later

Aditya has taken over Hooda and Associates. Anjana is mentally unstable and kept under supervision. Zoya having studied clinical psychology, gets an internship in the same hospital Anjana is admitted in. Aditya and Zoya miss each other and reminisce the love they shared. Noor bumps into Arjun in Delhi. They try to resist one another, but fail. Aditya and Zoya come face to face. They try to ignore their feelings and act cold towards each other.

Eventually, unable to control their emotions anymore, Aditya and Zoya reconcile. Arjun reaches Mussoorie and confesses his love for Noor. Anjana recalls everything and owns up about killing Pooja, Yash and Sakshi. She asks Aditya and Zoya to forgive her and gets arrested. Aditya breaks down in disbelief. Zoya comforts him and the two embrace. Arjun and Noor get married and the show ends with Aditya, Zoya, Arjun, Noor, Roshnaq and Waseem posing for a photograph.
