It is a drama focusing on the couple Aranya Singha Roy (Yash Dasgupta) and Paakhi Ghosh Dastidar Singha Roy (Madhumita Sarkar).
Plot
Pakhi Ghosh Dastidar, daughter of Sharat Ghosh Dastidar (Kushal Chakraborty) and Sumitra Ghosh Dastidar (Reshmi Sen), is a simple and traditional girl from Malda with deep-rooted family values. She believes in the strength of love, relationships, and has faith in God. On the other hand, Aranya Singha Roy is a rich, arrogant and suave business magnate with no belief in love or God. His closest emotional bond is with his sister Ananya (Debaparna Chakraborty).
Pakhi and Aranya first meet at the Rajmahal Hotel where Pakhi accidentally falls from the stage into Aranya's arms. Aranya misunderstands it as intentional. He uploads the video of Pakhi falling into his arms on social media. This results in the divorce of Pakhi and her family faces great disrespect. They move to Kolkata from Malda, where they originally lived. Here, Pakhi gets a job in the ASR Group of Industries. As time passes, Pakhi causes problems in the office, which results in ASR (Pakhi’s boss) insulting her. Anu meets Pakhi and assigns her to take care of Pamela, who is one of ASR's college friends. Pamela lives with them as she is going to be married to ASR. ASR feels disturbed with the presence of Pakhi in his home. Circumstances bring them close and they spend many romantic moments together. But, Krishnendu [Anu's husband] lusts for Pakhi and tries to marry Pakhi. Misunderstanding between ASR and Pakhi encourages her to agree to marry Krishnendu, leaving ASR heartbroken. However, Pakhi realizes the true intention of Krishnendu and breaks the alliance. ASR breaks off the engagement with Pamela, and reconcile with Pakhi.
In parallel, Akki and Piu fall for each other but his mother, Pammi, does not want Piu as her daughter-in-law. ASR makes Pammi agree to their marriage. The plot introduces Harry, the nephew of Pammi, who begins to like Pakhi. Pakhi considers him a good friend but ASR begins to get jealous. Various romantic moments happen. On Akki and Piu's marriage day, ASR tries to propose Pakhi but does not succeed. Krishnendu plots against them and calls Pakhi on the roof. Following Pakhi, ASR also reaches the roof and sees Pakhi hugging Krishnendu. Though Krishnendu forcefully does that ASR misunderstands Pakhi and starts to hate her.
Anu is found to be pregnant. ASR asks Pakhi to marry him as a deal which if she does not accept will lead to the cancellation of Akki and Piu's wedding. Pakhi agrees and is welcomed into the Singha Roy family. Weeks and months pass with Pakhi trying to find the reason for ASR's strange wedding proposal. When ASR reveals the reason, Pakhi tries to clear the misunderstanding but ASR is unwilling to understand. He is kidnapped by Krishnendu on his way to London. After a lot of hurdles, ASR and Pakhi succeed to expose Krishnendu and Pamela and reunite. They get married but find Krishnendu in front of them, to their surprise. ASR is shot and falls into the river; Pakhi goes mad. Harry and Gauri get married.

Pakhi is convinced that Radhe is ASR and fakes her intention of marrying Krishnendu, much to his happiness, when Radhe reveals that he is indeed ASR. Krishnendu is arrested and sent to jail. Now, Bijli comes in between ASR and Pakhi. A new character, Raj, is introduced who is trying to get revenge on the Singha Roy family because his father had left him and his mother for ASR's mother.
