Sulochana, Archana's mother, dreams that her daughter will one day get married to an educated and financially stable man. Her daughter's marriage is fixed with Satish Deshpande. Due to Manjusha conspiracy by Karanjkar who is Archana's sister-in-law and Ajit Lokhande's, Manjusha's brother Archana and Satish's engagement gets cancelled.
Archana's mother fixes her marriage with Manav Deshmukh while Manjusha creates a misunderstanding that Manav works as a mechanical engineer who is also the owner of a garage. Eventually, Archana and Manav get to tie the knot, and the entire family get to discover the truth that Manav is a mere mechanic.
Sulochana chooses to break off the union and not allow Archana to enter Manav's house. A few days later, Sulochana decides to do the 'vidaai' of Archana and let her go because of Manohar, her father. Immediately Archana moves into Manav's house, Savita Deshmukh, her evil mother-in-law, begins to torture her for the insult initially made by Sulochana.
As times goes by, Archana and Manav fall in love with each other but Rasika and Ajit try to create some misunderstandings between them. Even though the couple separates, Damodar gets to prove Manav's innocence.
In the meantime, Manav's younger brother Sachin dies in a car accident. His fiancée Shravani is expectant with their firstborn child. Manav has no choice but to take responsibility for her child.
As a result, Archana and Manav divorce each other for Sachin and Shravani's unborn baby to have a bright future. Archana leaves Mumbai to complete her education while Satish ties the knot to Varsha, Archana's younger sister.

Manav now resides in Canada together with his parents, daughters and his business partner Digvijay Kirloskar. On the other hand, Archana stays in Mumbai with her mother and her adopted daughter Purvi. Purvi is Archana's complete replica as she has been brought up under the values that her mother inculcated in her. Archana never lets her feel as though she is an adopted daughter.
Manav returns to India to finalize his divorce settlement where the court orders a six-month courtship before passing it. At this point, Sacred Ties switches its focus to their children.
Ovi has grown up to be a spoilt brat who can do anything or go to any limit in a bid to satisfy her obsessions. She has also fallen in love with Arjun even though Arjun, on the other hand, is in love with Purvi.
Tejaswini relocates to India in an attempt to spy on her father, and thus she starts working as a taxi driver. While at her work, she encounters Archana, who hosts her temporarily without being aware of the relationship they have.
Soham is alive. He is a goon in Bihar who is responsible for abducting Purvi even though Arjun manages to save her. Even though their marriage has been arranged, Ovi blackmails Purvi so that they can accept Archana back into the family. Purvi thus sacrifices her love for Arjun, she begs him to tie the knot with Ovi, and then she leaves the city.
In the meantime, Tejaswini discovers about Savita's conspiracy held against Archana and Manav. She exposes Savita and in turn reunites the two. Later Ovi and Arjun consummate their union, and the show takes a six-month break.
