Plot

This show revolves around the life of two completely different individuals, Akilesh Pandey (Karan Suchak) and Iravati aka Ira Desai (Jiya Shankar). Akilesh is a village simpleton and an ardent follower of Bajrang Bali (Lord Hanuman). He is illiterate, but a great wrestler, while Ira is an aspiring medical student. Destiny had meant these two individuals to meet and unite. They meet in Akilesh's hometown Banaras; but things go astray when Ira unknowingly performs a vasectomy on Akilesh. Akilesh and his mother Pushpa Pandey (Sucheta Khanna) are devastated after this great loss. Their situation worsens when Akilesh's stepmother Devina Pandey (Anjali Mukhi) and his stepsiblings Bhoomi, Aditya and Siddhi spread the news of Akilesh's vasectomy operation everywhere. Pushpa is heartbroken as she desperately wanted him to get married and have a family of his own. Ira, after being guilt-ridden over the disaster she brought into Akilesh and Puspha's lives, decides to marry Akilesh to relieve Puspha. They plan to divorce each other once Ira arranges for Akhilesh's vasectomy reversal surgery. After their marriage, Akilesh and Ira are slowly drawn to each other as each of them helps the other exit difficult situations and slowly fall in love. Pushpa soon learns that it was Ira who had performed Akilesh's vasectomy but forgives her, hoping that Akilesh will soon be blessed with children when his operation is reversed. However, Ira discovers that Akilesh's case of vasectomy is so complicated that it can be never reversed, but there is a ray of hope when she learns that Akilesh's semen sample was preserved. Ira soon undergoes artificial insemination and waits for positive results. At that moment, Pushpa falls miserably sick due to an evil ploy manipulated by Devina and her son Aditya. When the doctors are unable to improve Puspha's condition, Akilesh decides to take her to the local village baba, while Ira learns that she is pregnant. The baba saves Pushpa's life and in return he asks for Akilesh's child. Akilesh, thinking that he can never become a father, promises to give his child to baba. Ira becomes sad as she does not want to separate from her child. She leaves Akilesh and the bus in which she was travelling meets with an accident, the whole family believes Ira to be dead.
