The family are on a bus to attend the wedding of Lakshmi and a man named Varun. Unfortunately, they are involved in a tragic accident.

Lakshmi is devastated and heartbroken by her parent's demise. Nonetheless, life must go on. Rano and Pritam take Lakshmi and her siblings with them. Contrary to their expectations, Rano becomes a beast. She coerces Guru Charan (Manoj's assistant) to give her access to the safe so that she can take the money. However, Guru does not give in to his demand and intimidation.
Rano comes up with a clever plan to steal Lakshmi’s money. She eventually convinces Guru, who gives in to her deceitful plan. She lies to him that she will offer Lakshmi and Bani a good life. However, she intends to destroy her marriage plan with Varun and marry her off to another man.
Pritam and Rano take the whole family with them. They land in a hotel that belongs to a young man named Rishi Oberoi. They use a deceitful approach to access the hotel, and Rishi gets mad at them. He calls the police on them, and they are arrested.
Rano convinces Balwinder (Rishi’s driver) to have Lakshmi and others out of jail. The plan becomes successful because Balwinder secretly admires Neha and Rano is aware of it. However, back at the hotel, things turn out ugly, and Rishi is unhappy about Balwinder.
The hotel catches fire, and Rishi is accidentally trapped in the hotel. Fortunately, Lakshmi is also in one of the rooms, and he manages to rescue Rishi. Upon hearing about Lakshmi’s heroic act, Rishi’s parents convince her to marry their son.
At first, Pritam and Rano misunderstand Rishi's parents, believing that he is interested in their daughter. However, they later realize he is interested in Lakshmi when Rishi's parents clear the confusion. Later, Rishi and Lakshmi go on a date to know each other better.
On their way home, Balwinder causes an accident that almost claims their lives. As a result, Rishi sends him to jail for conspiring with Rano to kill them. Later, Rishi invites his whole family to his birthday. There, they fall in love, and he pops the question. His father announces the wedding will happen the next day. However, Rano, Pritam, and Neha are not happy for Lakshmi.
Balwinder tries to halt the wedding by kidnapping Lakshmi, but Abhi and Pragya stop him. The marriage goes on as planned. However, Rishi starts revealing his true colours after the wedding. At some point, he tells Lakshmi that he was forced into marrying her. Nonetheless, they are forced to go on their honeymoon by Rishi's grandfather.

During the honeymoon, Rishi falls into a lake, and a crocodile nearly eats him. Luckily, Lakshmi saves him. However, Rishi's girlfriend, Malishka, visits and she is informed that Rishi is married to Lakshmi because of her Kundali Dosh. Furthermore, she is told the marriage will be dissolved in a year.
Lakshmi saves Rishi for the second time when a snake bites him. She sucks the poison into her mouth, and it affects her. When Rishi regains his consciousness in the ambulance, he feels guilty. But, he again falls in love with her.
Lakshmi goes to Pritam’s house when she discovers Rishi’s affair with Malishka. At her uncle’s place, Rano gets her fingerprints when she is asleep. She uses the fingerprints to deceive Rishi into signing a divorce document. However, her plan fails miserably.
Rishi misses Lakshmi despite him loving Malishka. A few days later, Malishka follows Lakshmi to her workplace. She accuses her of stealing her jewellery. Luckily, Rishi comes in time to her rescue. However, the pressure is mounted on Rishi to divorce Lakshmi. Finally, the lawyer orders Lakshmi and Rishi to live together for 3 months. She returns to the Oberoi's house, but his family do not want her there, especially Naleem.
Hell breaks loose in Rishi's house. Malishka consistently humiliates Lakshmi before the family. She accuses her of several things. At some point, Rishi almost believes the accusations are true. For instance, Malishka accuses her of stealing her engagement ring with Rishi. Luckily, Shalu stops the engagement party when he comes with the judge.
Ahana arrives from London, and her suitors come to ask for her hand in marriage. Lakshmi helps her to welcome her visitors despite a few sabotage attempts by Malishka. Later, Lakshmi tracks Ahana to a clinic where she is admitted. However, she is shocked when she notices Ahana is pregnant with her ex-boyfriend's child.
She immediately changes the name on the pregnancy report to save her marriage proposal. Malishka takes advantage of the situation. They call Lakshmi names and accuse her of cheating on Rishi.
Malishka conspires with Balvinder to claim the pregnancy. However, Rishi fiercely protects Lakshmi when Balvinder tries to take her away. Has he finally fallen in love with her? Why will he engage Balvinder in a fight if he does not want her around? How will Malishka and Rishi’s parents react to his action?
