Illusion's full story

The famous, rich, and powerful Mittal family are proud of Janhvi. However, it turns out later that their beautiful, prudent, and respectable daughter-in-law is a devil in disguise. Her real identity is Pooja Sharma, the daughter of Dr Ashok Sharma. Additionally, Pooja has a sister named Ishani.

Ishani and Jhanvi are out for revenge against the Mittal family. Jhavni's father-in-law, Prem Kishan "PK" Mittal, tortured and killed her father before burning down their house. Therefore, Jhanvi marries Mittal's eldest son, Dhruv.

The lady sends Prem threatening messages and also drugs his wife (Suman) until she runs mad. Kabir Mittal, an army officer and the youngest son of Prem Kishan "PK" Mittal, returns home after six years.

Kabir's friend and colleague, Vyom, made him promise he would take care of his wife ( Kavya) and son (Aarush) before dying in the army base. Therefore, the two relocate with Kabir to India.

The young man shocks his family by introducing Aarush and Kavya as his son and wife. However, since Prem and Kabir have unresolved differences, his announcement worsens their relationship.

PK is upset with his son for marrying a widow when traditions prohibit widows from remarrying. Meanwhile, Jhanvi secretly plans Kabir and Ishani's marriage. Kabir learns that Jhavi threw his family out of their home and the Mittal's business and properties are also under her name.
