Plot

edit

Kalyani Deshmukh lives in Pune with her parents. Her mother Madhuri slips on the balcony and dies, and her father Atul is jailed and gives her custody to his caring ex-wife, Anupriya who is dominated by her family. Kalyani's cousin, Sampada loves Atharv but was forced to marry ACP Malhar Rane. She delivers a son, named Moksh and elopes with Atharv. Malhar marries and troubles Kalyani, believing she was behind Sampada and Atharv's elopement.

Kalyani raises Moksh. Atharv and Sampada live poorly. He marries the landlady, Mugdha, proclaiming she is mentally unstable and takes over her property. Atharv and Sampada try to create problems for Kalyani but fail. Anupriya's brother, Keshav takes revenge on her by kidnapping Moksh, but Malhar finds him. After learning his mother Kavita died due to an accident by Atul's father Sayajirao, Malhar is angry. Sayajirao kills himself. Atul returns from jail.

Malhar and Kalyani reacquire Moksh's custody from Sampada. Atharv turns mentally unstable due to an accident. He befriends a man, in fact Malhar's father, Madhav. Kalyani introduces him to Malhar. A dead body is found. Madhav's brother, Sarthak reveals he killed the man. Malhar's sister, Swara tells the man was Radheshyam, a transgender man whom she fell in love with and married him. Kalyani realizes Sarthak isn't responsible for Radheshyam's death.

Soon, it turns out Malhar's half-brother, Aahir killed Radhe Shyam. He kidnaps Moksh but is jailed after Malhar and Kalyani save Moksh. Her friend Rachit enters. In a taxi, Malhar realises the driver is Aahir and saves Kalyani. Aahir escapes. Kalyani meets Madhuri's twin sister Mamta, who lost her right hand and works for the Naxals who disguises herself as Madhuri, Kalyani's mom. Rachit reveals he loves Kalyani after their fake marriage and blackmails her to agree with him if she wants to save Moksh who is diagnosed with cancer and needs an urgent bone marrow transplant.

Rachit tries to molest and later kill Kalyani, but Malhar saves her. Kalyani gets pregnant through IVF to save Moksh with Sampada and Malhar's child. Atharv, disguised, kidnaps Atul's mother Ahilya and tries to kill the child. Kalyani faints. Malhar learns her health is deteriorating, and abortion is necessary.

Trilok is a donor match for Moksh's bone marrow. Trilok has a wife, Divya, who looks exactly like Kalyani whose photo Kalyani sees on visiting his house. He says his wife is dead and he wants Kalyani to accompany his daughter, Suhana if they want him to donate bone marrow for Moksh. Kalyani and Malhar fight a lot and try to settle their different opinions. After the operation Trilok kidnaps Moksh and blackmails Kalyani.

Kalyani sends Divya in the car which according to Trilok has Moksh. The car explodes, and she dies. Kalyani and Malhar realise Moksh was also in it and assume him dead. Kalyani blames Malhar who shoots her in agitation unable to hear her say Moksh is dead. Kalyani is presumed dead as she falls off the cliff.

Malhar is now Sub-Inspector and lives in guilt for having lost Kalyani. Kalyani is now District Magistrate of the area. Swara is married to Vivek. Anupriya no longer considers Kalyani as her daughter. During her engagement to Minister Damini Deshpande's son, Vikram, Kalyani is caught in a fire, and Malhar saves her. Vikram rejects Kalyani after seeing her face. But Kalyani removes her bandages, thus revealing that she has only minor burns. But Kalyani refuses to marry Vikram due to his attitude.

On Avni's baby shower, it is revealed that Avni is not Malhar's wife. Ahir had left Avni when she became pregnant with his child. Madhav's dying wish was that Malhar would take care of Avni and her child in his name. Meanwhile, Kalyani finds out that Mukku is none other than Moksh. Moksh accidentally kills Ahir. Kalyani hides Moksh from Malhar, fearing that if Malhar finds Moksh, he will send him to the correction home. Meanwhile, Vivek accidentally burns Swara and is arrested.

To save Vivek from Sarthak's wrath, Anupriya tells him that Mukku is her and Sarthak's daughter. Avni tries to separate the family and turn them against each other fortunately Malhar discovers that Mukku is his son Moksh and is elated but Sarthak becomes depressed and the case of Ahir's death is opened and Malhar, Kalyani and Anupriya try to save Moksh but Malhar is shot by Avni and Anupriya is blamed and Moksh becomes mute as he is the witness to the incident of Malhar's death. Malhar returns and Moksh reveals that Anupriya is innocent and Avni had shot Malhar so Anupriya is proved innocent. Anupriya and Sarthak reunite with their lost daughter, Gungun and get remarried. Finally, Malhar, Kalyani, Moksh, Anupriya, Sarthak, AauSaheeb, Godavari, and kalyani’s unborn baby reunite to live happily.
