The story centers around Pallavi Deshmukh, a widowed daughter-in-law of the Deshmukh family. Despite being considered a daughter by most of the family members, she faces challenges, especially from Sulochana and Amruta. Pallavi manages the Deshmukh Saree Emporium for her father-in-law, Vijay Deshmukh. The plot takes a turn when Raghav Rao, a business magnate with an arrogant and reckless demeanor, enters Pallavi's life, leading to misunderstandings based on their different personalities.

In later developments, it is disclosed that the accountant in Pallavi's shop is Keerti, who happens to be Raghav's sister. Keerti and her mother, Jaya, live separately from Raghav due to past incidents. Raghav, driven by misunderstandings, wrongly believes that his mother and sister were defamed because of Pallavi. Seeking revenge, he fabricates evidence to defame Pallavi, leading Vijay to disown Pallavi and expel her from the house.

Upon learning about Pallavi's situation, Jaya demanded that Raghav marry Pallavi if he wanted them to reconcile. Raghav, seeking to live with Jaya and Keerti, proposed to Pallavi. Initially, Pallavi rejected the proposal without much consideration. However, Raghav blackmailed Pallavi by putting her brother-in-law Nikhil in jail. In order to save Nikhil, Pallavi reluctantly agrees to marry Raghav. After the marriage, Jaya and Keerti move to Raghav's house, and Pallavi becomes more assertive in dealing with the arrogant Raghav.

Later, Raghav realizes that Sulochana is the person who defamed Keerti and Jaya. After discovering the truth, a guilt-ridden Raghav stops Pallavi from leaving and asks for a chance to become a good husband within one month. Pallavi agrees to the condition. During this time, Pallavi and Raghav grow closer, and Raghav falls in love with Pallavi. Pallavi learns that Raghav's father was lynched resulting from a failed financial business of Raghav, which led to Keerti and Jaya distancing themselves from him.

Pallavi clears the misunderstandings between Raghav and Jaya. During this time, Keerti's lover, Sunny, arrives, and Sulochana plots against Raghav and Pallavi, inadvertently bringing them closer. The Rao family disapproves of Keerti and Sunny's relationship due to his bad behaviour. Pallavi investigates her ex-husband Mandar's accident and discovers that Sunny was responsible. She sends Sunny to jail, leading Keerti to consider Pallavi as her enemy.

It is then revealed that Mandar is still alive and Pallavi brought him to the Deshmukh family. Mandar creates many misunderstandings between Pallavi and Raghav to have Pallavi for himself. Meanwhile, Raghav and Pallavi confessed their love for each other. Raghav and Pallavi exposed Mandar in front of the family that he stalked Pallavi during her college days and he killed Pallavi's best friend, Devyani, to get her and also tried to kill his own mother by pushing her from terrace for supporting Raghav and Pallavi.

Sunny and Keerti elope, causing Pallavi to be blamed initially, but the matter is later resolved. Keerti and Sunny move into Raghav's house, where Sunny causes trouble for the family. Meanwhile, Pallavi discovers Raghav's involvement in diamond smuggling during a police encounter and gets shot. The experience of almost losing Pallavi prompts Raghav to abandon smuggling.

Raghav's ex-girlfriend Esha came who just wanted the money of Raghav and made Pallavi believe that she and Raghav slept together. A heartbroken Pallavi breaks all ties with Raghav. Later Pallavi found that Esha is framing Raghav and she exposed her with the help of Raghav and Sunny.

The show ended with Pallavi and Raghav remarrying with the blessings and love of their respective families. Sulochana, Amruta and Manasi became good to others. Keerti and Sunny are accepted by the Rao family and Keerti becomes pregnant.

The series went off air on 27 November 2021, after 246 episodes.
