Anshuman is a successful elite businessman. He has a 7-year-old son, named Ayaan from his second wife Meera, who died 3 years prior in an accident. Paakhi still longs for him and believes that one day Anshumaan will come to reunite with her. Anshumaan plans to marry Tanya, the daughter of a well-known businessman, leading to him finding out about his hidden child marriage's truth, as he cannot marry Tanya before divorcing Paakhi. Under pressure from the media, Anshumaan is forced to bring Paakhi to his house in order to save his reputation, with the intention of divorcing her while the latter refuses as she has always loved him. Paakhi finds it hard to fit in his way of living while having to face challenges thrown at her by Anshumaan's sister, Lavanya, but she finds solace in Girish (Lavanya's husband) who always supports her. Anshumaan gradually falls in love with her. Ayaan hates Paakhi, believing she wants to take his late mother's place in Anshumaan's life, but later develops a motherly bond with Paakhi.

Due to misunderstandings created by Tanya and Lavanya, Anshumaan is led to believe Paakhi is having an extra-marital affair and he questions her character. Paakhi is disappointed in Anshumaan for not trusting her, hence decides to leave the house. Anshumaan later realises his misconception and decides to bring Paakhi back. Paakhi unites Anshuman with Devki, his long-lost mother, who was abused and banished by his father. They both clear their misunderstandings and confess their love.

Anshuman's twin brother, Aryaman kills him. Shattered and heartbroken, Paakhi looks after Anshuman's businesses. Under her family's pressure, she later marries Anshuman's cousin, Veer Pratap Singh and adopts a troubled teenager, named Ria. However, Veer decides to divorce Paakhi, realising she can never move on from Anshuman. In the end, Paakhi begins living with his memories and Ayaan, declaring she will always love Anshuman, and fulfill all his duties and wishes.
