Lakshmi Bajwa is a kind-hearted naïve girl from Gurdaspur, a small village in Punjab. After her parent's death, she and her sisters are taken to Mumbai by their greedy aunt, Rano, who decides to get Lakshmi married to any random person quickly so she can fulfill Lakshmi's father's will and take his property. However, Lakshmi gets married to a businessman named Rishi Oberoi. It is revealed that Rishi was coerced by his parents, especially by his mother Neelam, to get married to Lakshmi for one year as they believed that Lakshmi could save him from bad luck or death as told by their priest. Rishi also has a girlfriend named Malishka, who initially consented to this arrangement but as their marriage progresses, Malishka notices a shift in Rishi's behavior – he's grown fond of Lakshmi. Before the year is up, Lakshmi learns the truth and leaves despite Neelam's pleas. In court, Lakshmi and Rishi are told to stay together for 6 months before the divorce is finalized seeing Rishi and Lakshmi's bonding. During the 6 months, Rishi falls in love with Lakshmi, but Malishka hatches a plan and makes it seem like Rishi slept with her although he didn't, leading to Lakshmi finalizing her divorce and leaving Rishi. Rishi and Malishka's marriage is fixed.[4]
However, Rishi brings Lakshmi back claiming that he will get her married to a nice guy and help her get settled as a friend. However, Rishi proposes to Lakshmi and tells Malishka that he only loves Lakshmi, but Lakshmi rejects it after thinking about Malishka. Lakshmi's marriage is fixed with Vikrant, but it turns out that Vikrant was planning to deceive Lakshmi, he already had a wife but was marrying Lakshmi only for a child. They get to know about him on the day of the wedding, and the wedding is called off. Lakshmi again leaves the house due to being insulted. On Rishi and Malishka's wedding day, Rishi reveals his love for Lakshmi and breaks his wedding with Malishka. Rishi chooses Lakshmi over his mother and leaves his house with her. Finally, Lakshmi accepts her love for Rishi. Rishi and Lakshmi get married. When they are leaving for their honeymoon, Malishka causes Rishi and Lakshmi's accident and tries to kill them. Both of them are saved, and Neelam finally accepts them and calls them back home. In their house once again, Rishi and Lakshmi are to get married, but Lakshmi faints just before the marriage, and turns out that Lakshmi has lost her mental stability.
However, Malishka keeps plotting against Lakshmi due to which she forcibly ends up in a mental asylum against Rishi's will. Malishka again plots against Lakshmi and manages to secretly have Virendra's car's brakes fail so that Lakshmi gets blamed. Virendra and Lakshmi get into a car accident, leaving Virendra comatose. Lakshmi regains her mental stability but everyone, including Rishi, blames her for Virendra's state and throws her out of the house, much to Malishka's triumph. Lakshmi boards a train to return to her village but the train gets into an accident. Lakshmi is presumed dead by Rishi and his family but she survives and finds herself pregnant with Rishi's child. Lakshmi returns to her village and decides to raise her child single-handedly.
