Plot
editThe series centers on the unexpected marriage of Meena, the eldest daughter from a lower-class family, and Balu, a taxi driver struggling with alcoholism.
Circumstances force Meena, with traditional familial values, into marriage with Balu, who is more unconventional. With an aversion to love, he and Meena are introduced into their contrasting worlds. Balu's struggles with alcoholism and family conflict contrast with Meena's familial harmony while working at her family's flower shop. Together, they face challenges like Kailash, a predatory loan shark with eyes on Meena, and financial challenges.
Satyam opts for Meena to marry Manoj instead of providing financial assistance, and complications arise as Balu's brother Manoj elopes with Shailaja. Conflict arises at the wedding with the revelation of Manoj's actions, leaving the family destitute and sparking violent confrontations.
