Synopsis

The wedding of Mahesh and Pooja is held with all the pomp and tradition associated with Indian weddings. The night after the wedding, Pooja, a nervous bride, waits for her husband to join her. He comes very late, and when he does, it is to tell her that he is in love with another girl. He tells Pooja bluntly that he never wanted to marry her in the first place and walks out, leaving behind a distraught and confused young bride trying to come to grips with this new reality.

Pooja refuses to return to her parents. She continues to reside with Mahesh's family, consisting of his parents and younger brother Ravi. She decides to continue her studies, find a job and get her life back together again. All members of Mahesh's family are supportive and well-disposed towards Pooja. They were unaware of his affair with the other girl. In particular, Pooja gets tremendous moral and emotional support from her brother-in-law Ravi, and an attraction forming between them becomes evident as the serial progresses. Where will this attraction lead them, and what does Pooja do when Mahesh suddenly arrives back into her life?

What does Pooja do? What choices does she make? Will she find fulfillment?
