Plot
Alka, Anushka, Devyani and Pia are sisters who live with their father Narayan Shastri in Kanpur. Alka is in love with their neighbor Rajeev. Narayan gets a job transfer and moves to Delhi with his daughters.
They then reside as tenants in Narayan's friend Surinder Sareen's house. Surinder has a evil wife Minty and two sons: the unemployed Neel and an IAF pilot Rajat. Alka turns Rajeev away and marries the kind and supportive Rohan.
Eventually, Anushka and Devyani fall in love with Rajat, who is smitten with Anushka's simplicity. Devyani turns bitters towards her. Neel falls in love with and proposes Devyani but she rejects him.
Rajat's ex-girlfriend Karishma tries to create misunderstandings between him and Anushka. Neel and Devyani thwart her and get betrothed. Later, Neel is forced by Minty to marry her friend Leela's greedy daughter Kajal.
Kajal who in actual wants the property of the family pushes Anushka off a cliff to be benefitted from her death. An imposter kidnaps Rajat and makes his face look alike as him through plastic surgery. The show takes a 1 year leap.
