Plot
Seventeen-year-old Anami, abandoned at birth and adopted by a pandit family in Banaras, returns as the sole yet reluctant heir to a royal family in Laal Mahal in Bihar badlands and a saga begins.
The tale begins with Satrupa bringing back Anami; whom she gave away at birth, to Laal Mahal after her son and Anami's twin brother, Vatsalya's death. Reluctantly, Anami agrees to go back to Laal Mahal.
Adhiraj Pandey, the CBI officer who is handling the case of whatever is related to Lal Mahal, gradually develops a close bond with Anami and the two become best friends. Slowly, Anami learns about the past of Laal Mahal and gets to know her dead brother through his diary. She decides to stay in Laal Mahal and find the true culprit behind her brother's death. Because Adhiraj is her best friend and actually loves her without knowing it, he helps her in any decision she makes without denying. She also brings Sudha, her biological father's past affairs and also the mother of Narottom, (Anami's half-brother) to Laal Mahal to make Narottom's life happy. She is unaware of Sudha's true motives who wants all the money, power and property of Lal Mahal. Behind Anami's back, she plans and plots without Anami knowing it.
Satrupa warns Anami for Sudha, but because of Anami's stubborn behavior and misconception about Satrupa, she never trusts her. At first, Anami trusts Sudha blindfolded but gradually Adhiraj suspects Sudha and tells Anami to watch out for her. Anami tries running away from Lal Mahal to go and live with her Pagli Panditayn and father (Anami's foster parents) when her brother Laddo (son of her foster parents) was kidnapped by Purushottam (Sudha's brother) and later kept secretive by Satrupa to stay close to Anami. Adhiraj stops her in the middle of the way and plans to go with her for her safety and to spend the last few moments he can before she leaves him forever. Both of them don't want to leave each other but Anami couldn't stay in Lal Mahal. When Anami and Adhiraj, along with Laddo reach to Anami's foster parents, they spend a night in one of her dad's friend's house. Sudha gets the house on fire through people whom she had hired to work for her. Anami thinks it was Satrupas plan and decides to go back to seek revenge.
Meanwhile, Adhiraj expresses his feelings for Anami and she seeks some time for her to know and accept her feelings towards him. She gets to know Sudha's true motives when Adhiraj gets proof against her which lets her be imprisoned. The proof was provided by Narottam which was a self-confessed audio recording. Anami knows that Satrupa is not guilty. In the end, Sudha is exposed and Anami asks Satrupa for forgiveness. Both share a huge hug and the whole family is happy. Baldev and Satrupa get back together. When Narottam was about to leave Laal mahal Anami asks the reason and he tells that since his mother and maternal uncle were involved in Vatsalya's accident he has no right to stay with the family. Anami promises to keep the secret and ask him not to leave. Terms are settled between Baldev-Satrupa and Narottam. Anami tells Adhiraj about the accident and he makes Sudha confess her crimes. Adiraj and Anami bring Madhu and Murari Pathak to Laal mahal. Satrupa requests them to stay with them at Laal mahal.
Seeing the closeness between Anami and Adhiraj Dhiru Pandey (Adhiraj's father) gets Adhiraj transferred. Learning this Baldev along with Gayatri (his mother) comes to Pandey's and ask for forgiveness for all their deeds and mistakes and makes a friendship call. Baldev accepts Narottam and he agrees to stay. Gayatri invites the Pandey family for dinner and everyone share a happy time until they come to a huge shock. Vatsalya comes into Lal Mahal calling Satrupa(Maa). Everyone is shocked including Anami and then the series ends on a cliffhanger with Anami and Vatsalya's face.
