Plot

edit

Urmi Singh, a girl in Jhansi, dreams of marrying 'the perfect' man who might be her 'prince charming'. Her marriage is arranged with a wealthy businessman, Samrat Singh Rathore, who is selfish, arrogant, and short-tempered, unbeknownst to Urmi, as she was told by Samrat's best friend, Ishaan Sinha, that he is a gentleman. During the wedding preparations, Urmi's cousin, Trisha, sees many red flags in Samrat, but Urmi ignores her and marries Samrat.

On their wedding night, Samrat shows his true colours and Urmi is devastated. He begins abusing Urmi, as no one in Samrat's family is willing to stand up to him for her because even they fear his temper. His father, Rudra Singh Rathore and his brother, Dewaker, try to help Urmi, but he ignores them and loses his temper. Ishaan discovers he is deceiving Urmi by abusing and cheating on her, so he breaks ties with Urmi and flees abroad. Urmi leaves Samrat's house on the day of Holi and returns to her parents' house, but soon returns after finding out that she is pregnant with Samrat's child.
