Kashish, Mahek, Mouli, Kanan and Charu are five sisters living in Shimla. Their father, Prof. Sinha, is an idealistic college teacher. One day, Kashish accidentally hits a car belonging to Sujal Garewal, a rich, young businessman. Later, she goes for a job interview to his office. She assumes that she will not get the job, but Sujal hires her. Sujal works for a business enterprise started by his father, Chetan Garewal, in partnership with close friend/brother-figure Lalit Raheja. The Raheja and Garewal families live in the same house. Sujal's best friend is Lalit's son, Piyush. Sujal has a spoilt and arrogant younger brother, Rishi, who flirts with both Mouli and Mahek. Piyush's younger brother, Varun, secretly loves Mahek.

Kashish and Sujal eventually fall in love with each other as they grow even closer since seeing each other daily at work. She writes a love letter to him and leaves it on his desk. Rishi, who dislikes Kashish, sees the letter and deliberately puts Piyush's name on it. When Piyush sees the letter, he thinks that Kashish likes him and begins to feel the same way for her. Lalit and Prof. Sinha decide to get Piyush and Kashish married. Meanwhile, Sujal and Kashish verbally profess their love for each other. Kashish assumes she is about to get engaged to Sujal. On the day of the engagement, Kashish is shocked to see Piyush as her fiancé. But she decides to stay quiet to prevent humiliation for her family. However, Sujal sees the letter with Piyush's name on it and thinks that Kashish is cheating on him. He cuts all ties with her and is heartbroken. Amidst all this, Mahek gets pregnant with Rishi’s child unbeknownst to everyone. The families plan their engagement but in a sudden turn of events, the Sinha family are embarrassed as the pregnancy truth come to light. Rishi despises a plan to break the engagement as he only used Mahek. Mahek is thrown out the house by Prof Sinha and he cuts all ties with her. Varun supports her.

Akshat Shergill, an old friend of the Sinha family, enters the scene. His entry is followed by the arrival of his mother Reva and elder brother, Swayam. Akshat starts working in the R&G company and becomes a good friend and ally of Sujal, whilst he's also a good friend to Kashish. He learns of Kashish and Sujal's past and of Sujal's unconditional love for Kashish and hopes to bring them together to give Kashish a new life. Akshat and Charu soon fall in love with each other. Mahek gives birth to a son. Varun soon confesses his love for her and proposes but she refuses as she doesn't want to be in a relationship again. But later accepts as she realises is willing to sacrifice everything for her and her son who she names Roshan. Sujal arranges their marriage much to Rishi's dismay. As Mahek begins to live in the Raheja/Garewal household, Rishi flirts with her and grows close to their son. He finds out that he has real feelings for Mahek whilst she despises him and he tries to separate Mahek and Varun but is thwarted each time. Mouli falls in love with Rishi again and leaves her house to live with him. Prof. Sinha cuts ties with her for good. After some time, it is revealed that Piyush's death was not an accident. The car crash was deliberately caused.

Kashish begins to suspect Sujal of killing her husband and starts believing the false evidence planted against Sujal. With Kashish failing to realize this as a ploy against Sujal and her, Kashish begins deeply hating Sujal and wants to seek revenge. To punish him, Kashish decides to marry Sujal and live close to him to get access to his home and business and to destroy him. Kashish and Sujal do not consummate their marriage after Kashish asks Sujal to give her time. Unaware of Kashish's hatred for him and of Kashish's intentions of not taking this marriage seriously, Sujal respects her decision and assures her to take as much time as she needs. Kashish begins to lay many obstacles in Sujal's path personally and professionally. However, despite trying to hurt Sujal and as time passes by, she finds herself getting attracted towards Sujal again and is drawn to him. The more Kashish tries to shake her revived attraction for Sujal, the stronger she finds herself being pulled towards him. Much to Kashish's dismay, she finds herself fantasizing about Sujal and wanting to get close to him, whilst being torn apart by her commitment to hating Sujal and to seek revenge. To punish herself for thinking that way, Kashish causes a major accident to happen to Sujal and herself as a final showdown where she is ready to lose her life, if it also claims Sujal's life, thus exacting her revenge on Sujal. She fails the breaks of the car that Sujal and she travel in and refuses to jump out of the vehicle to save herself, despite Sujal's multiple pleas and prompting.

Sujal jumps out of the car in the nick of time, whilst the car falls down a steep cliff and erupts into flames immediately. Sujal is devastated and believes he has lost Kashish, but finds relief after he sees her lying unconscious yet deeply wounded close to the bottom of the cliff. Eventually a badly wounded Sujal saves the life of a seriously wounded and unconscious Kashish. In the process of Sujal saving Kashish's life, Sujal ends up with deep abrasive wounds himself. Kashish and Sujal survive the deadly ordeal. When recovering from the accident, Kashish stumbles upon Sujal's diary and learns of Sujal's intense love for her and learns from everyone around her of Sujal's valiant efforts to save her life, while risking his. Kashish feels guilty, is moved and breaks down upon seeing Sujal's wounds. When Kashish sees Sujal nursing to his deep wounds, she offers to aid him. Upon seeing Sujal's wounds that he obtained whilst saving her life, Kashish breaks down in a perplexed Sujal's arms. Kashish and Sujal consummate their marriage. Kashish later regrets letting her emotions and love for Sujal come in the way of her extracting her vengeance.

As Kashish's love for Sujal increases, in order to stop herself from losing track again, she expedites framing Sujal in the SG Enterprises' case and gets him arrested on New Year's Eve. Kashish is secretly heartbroken over Sujal's arrest. Rishi exposes Kashish as the culprit behind Sujal's arrest, and Kashish confesses to her part. While the entire Raheja and Garewal house is shaken by Kashish's betrayal and of her false understanding of Sujal as Piyush's killer, Akshat, Rishi and Kashish's sisters take Sujal's side and are determined to prove him innocent. Kashish has a heated argument with Sujal in jail, wherein she reveals to Sujal her motive behind marrying him. Sujal challenges Kashish to accept that she still loves him and has always only loved him. Kashish is shaken.

Eventually, Kashish begins learning of clues that point towards Sujal's innocence and is startled. To find out the truth, Kashish goes to Piyush's accident spot and learns from a local, the first hand account of how things played out on the day of Piyush's death and Sujal's numerous efforts to save Piyush's life. Kashish having finally learnt the truth breaks down from guilt and remorse. She rushes to the courthouse to interrupt the proceedings and prevent Sujal from getting sentenced. Sujal however to Kashish's shock, confesses to being guilty in the SG Enterprises' case.
