edit

Namak Issk Ka revolves around an item girl named Kahani Verma who goes by the name of Chamcham Rani and a rich businessman, Yug Pratap Rajput, who are childhood friends who became separated in an accident. Yug and Kahani meet after 15 years. This is when Yug learns that Kahani is a dancer.

Kahani is shown to have adopted two orphans and works hard to support them. Yug hates Kahani as he considers all dancers to be home-breakers who just want to lure rich people for money. Though other members of the family do not believe Kahani to be such, Yug insults her and throws her out of the house when he learns that it was her all along who was nurse to Ravikant, Yug's father's friend and Kahani's biological father. It is revealed that Iravati, Ravikant's second wife caused the accident 15 years ago which left Ravikant paralyzed and Meera dead, now separated Kahani from her family.

Yug's opinion towards Kahani changes when she saves Rupa, Yug's sister-in-law and Kahani's step-sister from a bullet, intended to kill her so as to blackmail Iravati. Yug's brother Raunak lusts for Kahani while pulling off a facade of a loving husband to a scared Rupa, even though he has a son named Harsh. He somehow convinces her to marry him while keeping her in dark that he is Yug's brother and Rupa's husband, he tells her that his first wife died, but Kahani comes to know about Raunak's truth. Raunak kidnaps Kahani's Brother Lucky and force her to marry him. Yug tries to prevent Kahani and Raunak from marrying. Rupa learns the truth and tries to commit suicide but is saved by Yug. For Raunak's happiness, Rupa plans to do the wedding of Raunak and Kahani secretly along with Yug and Gunjan's marriage. But Yug comes to know the secret that Kahani is disguised as Rupa. Soon he reveals this to everybody. After a shocking turn of events, Kahani becomes the epicentre of the family's condemnation and rejection when the series of events force Yug to marry her. However, she stands up against the family for insulting her and declares to leave the house for good. Despite her efforts, Kahani fails to escape Yug's clutches. Soon, she attacks Yug and rushes to meet Rani and Lucky. However, Kahani notices the lock Yug gave her in their childhood and realises that he is her long-lost friend. Iravati tries to console Gunjan after her wedding to Yug is jeopardised. But Gunjan lashes out at her and reveals knowing about her attempt to murder Ravikant. However, a cunning Iravati changes tact and convinces Gunjan to change her opinion. As Kahani is being treated unfairly by the whole family, she hopes to tell Yug the truth and seek his trust.
