The series is a realistic take on the bittersweet relationship between the pampered Chandni Kanaujia (Priyanka Purohit) and the simple Arjun Sharma (Tarun Mahilani). The beautifully woven story with a realistic story line brought together two very different personalities.

The shoot of Half Marriage wrapped up on 16 April with a total of 155 episodes. The cast seemed a bit disappointed as the new twists brought in looked appealing.

Plot

The show begins with the potrayal of the life of Chandni Kanaujia, the only daughter of Vanraj Kanaujia, a political leader of the Sanskar Sena. Chandni, an innocent and pampered young lady, lives her life in her own terms and is unaware of the reality. On the other hand, we get introduced to Arjun Sharma a hard working and responsible man. A chance encounter occurs between Chandni and Arjun and they develop a disliking towards each other.

In the meantime, Arjun gets a job in a corporate company. Arjun's company gets involved in a scandal leaded by no one but Chadni's father. Arjun, being a honest and simple man, makes the news public and it becomes a breaking news.

Chandni witnesses everything on the TV and gets heart broken. However her evil father deals with the matter calmly and makes Chandni believe that he is innocent. Chandni then decides to seek revenge from Arjun for defaming her father.

Chandni creates for herself a fake life, a fake house and a fake father and manages to lure Arjun. Chandni fakes to kill herself but is prevented by Arjun who then declares her love for her. Finally, Chandni makes Arjun steal 2 lakh rupees from their office for her. She then gets Arjun arrested and reveals her true identity to him. Arjun begins to hate Chandni from the core of his heart.

Meanwhile the head of Arjun's company gets rejected by Simmi. He takes the blame upon himself and Simmi and gets them both arrested and Arjun is released.

Arjun makes Simmi admit her and Chandni's treachery and records everything. Vanraj realises that his political party is in risk and makes Chandni call Arjun and invite him to a park. Arjun reluctantly agrees to come to the park. After their arrival, various members of the sanskar sena arrives at the park and drags all the couples to a pavilion to get them married. Arjun is firmly determined to not marry Chandni but sees his younger sister Reva with another guy. He is now forced to either marry Chandni or let his sister get married. He chooses to sacrifice himself to save his sister. Thus, Arjun and Chandni gets married.

Then Vanraj, Chandni's step father, fakes his illnes and forces Chandni to move to Arjun's house. No one there accepts her but Janki, who is bribed by sahibji, wholeheartedly welcomes her. Slowly with time Arjun and Chandni falls in love with each other. In a trial to take his daughter back, Vanraj ends up burning Sulakshana. This distances Chandni from her in-laws but Arjun stands by her side.

Reva then falls in love with Surya Prakash but then gets to know about his past affairs and is scattered. She then dies in an accident and Surya Prakash who tried to save her is blamed by Arjun's family. Sulakshana decides to throw Chandni out of the house but Arjun leaves with her. They arrive at a hotel and when they decide to go around the place Chandni shoots Arjujn.

2 Years Later

After a 2 years leap Chandni is shown to be a successful political leader who's supposed to marry Sid her business partner. Arjun returns under the name of Raj Shekhawat, a rich business man, with his secretary Maya Oberoi who secretly loves him. To make Raj reveal his true identity Chandni puts his old house at stake. To postpone the breaking of his house Raj motivates Sid to get engaged to Chandni. Chandni becomes sad to know that Arjun is ready to get her engaged to someone else and agrees to marry Sid. Arjun gets heartbroken and decides to be present during the marriage.

Chandni leaves Sid at the pavilion stating that she cannot marry him. Chandni is put at gunpoint and is forced to marry Sid. Arjun directs the gunpoint towards him and says that he is doing all this just for the benefit of his business. That night Sampadji calls both Chandni and Arjun and tells them how Sahibji had done all this to get rid of Arjun. Arjun and Chandni finally reunites. They also get Sahibji arrested.

Chandni finally returns home. However, their relationship is not taken into good terms by Arjun's family. Janki joins hands with Maya to get her married to Arjun and replace Chandni. All the efforts of Maya fails and she is thrown out of the house. She gets Sahibji released and takes him into her side.
