Plot [edit]

The story revolves around the characters Khushi Kumari Gupta (Sanaya Irani) and Arnav Singh Raizada (Barun Sobti), two very different individuals with very different beliefs who ultimately come to realize that they complete each other. Arnav Singh Raizada, an extremely rich and successful business tycoon faces the death of both his mother and the deceit of his father at a very young age. With only his sister, Anjali, (Daljeet Kaur Bhanot) as his support, Arnav is left to create his own destiny and future, and in the process evolves to become a ruthless, arrogant business tycoon, who does not believe in love or God. Khushi Kumari Gupta, also orphaned at a very young age, is raised and brought up in Lucknow by her mother's sister and husband. She is an optimistic and idealistic girl, putting her entire faith in god and the strength of relationships. When Arnav and Khushi meet they are instantly put off by each other's clashing personalities and attempt to remain distant from each other. However, as fate has it, their paths continue to cross and as time continues they fall deeper in love with each other, though they refuse to admit it, owing to their ego.

Enter Shyam- Anjali's husband and a lawyer by profession. While Shyam pretends to be a loving husband and an honorable man, down below lies a venomous, cunning mind, manipulating situations for wealth, power and also Khushi, whom he has set eyes on.

How Arnav and Khushi finally accept their love for each other and conquer all odds forms the rest of this beautiful love saga.
