Fateh falls in love with Jasmine, who soon breaks up with him after he loses his job. Tejo and Fateh marry to save the family's reputation. Jasmine starts plotting against Tejo. Eventually, Tejo and Fateh fall in love and Jasmine marries Fateh's brother, Amrik. Tejo's ex-fiancé, Angad sets Tejo on fire and the latter is presumed dead.
In London, Jasmine and Amrik meet Tejo's lookalike, Tanya, who is assigned to find out about Tejo's murder. Amrik dies while saving Tanya from Angad, who is later jailed for his crimes. Jasmine turns out to be pregnant. Tanya finds Tejo alive and reunites her with Fateh. Jasmine miscarries and fakes her pregnancy. She leaves an orphan at the hospital, claiming it to be her and Amrik's child. Tejo and Fateh learn the truth but keep it a secret for family happiness and raise the child, naming her Nehmat. Jasmine moves to Canada, marrying Yash.
Jasmine returns to India with her daughter Naaz, suffering from domestic violence by Yash and his mother. Nehmat learns that she is adopted. Jasmine leaves Naaz in Sandhus'. Nehmat and Naaz bond with each other and Tejo and Fateh decide to adopt Naaz. Unfortunately, Tejo, Fateh and all Virks' die in an accident.
Nehmat and Naaz are raised by Sandhus'. Nehmat is in love with Ekam, a trainee IPS officer. Naaz suffers from an inferiority complex due to the attention Nehmat gets and wants to snatch her happiness. Nehmat's marriage is fixed with Advait Kapoor. Being pressured by Naaz, Nehmat marries Advait, who tortures her. Jasmine returns and it's revealed that Jasmine and Advait's father were behind the Virks' accident. Advait and Nehmat's marriage is nullified as Jasmine's daughter, Harleen confirms that she's Advait's legal wife. Ekam and Nehmat get closer. Advait is jailed when he tries to kill Harleen, who loves Ekam. Ekam and Nehmat's marriage is fixed, but Nehmat leaves Ekam, being blackmailed by Jasmine. Under family pressure, Ekam and Harleen are married.
Nehmat meets Ekam's cousin, Sartaj, who brings her back to Randhawas' claiming her to be his fiancée. Naaz marries Sartaj's father, Balveer to be with Randhawas'. Nehmat continues the drama so Ekam-Harleen can move on. Nehmat finds that she's pregnant with Ekam's child and leaves with Sartaj. She gives birth to a daughter, who was stolen by Harleen. Nehmat is told that her child is born dead while Harleen and Ekam adopt the child as Aliya.
Ekam and Harleen are living with Aliya. Aliya meets Nehmat in a summer camp and they form a bond. Eventually, Sartaj, Nehmat and Ekam find out Aliya's truth and confront Harleen.

Ekam forcefully marries Nehmat for Aliya, who accepts the latter as her mother. Harleen returns and poisons Aliya against Nehmat. Nehmat and Ekam learn Harleen's true face and deport the latter back to Canada. Witnessing all this, Aliya starts hating Nehmat and Ekam. In Canada, Harleen finds that she's pregnant with Ekam's child and decides to use it for her revenge.
Aliya is grown up and wants to go to Canada to meet Harleen. She is in love with Armaan. In Canada, Harleen is married to Deepak Dhillon and her daughter, Aasma dreams of going to India. Aasma returns to India with Deepak, who promises Harleen to keep Aasma away from Ekam. By fate, Aasma and Armaan keep meeting each other. Armaan's father, Sukhi has enmity with both Ekam and Deepak. Alia, Armaan and Aasma try to end the enmity between the families, unaware of the past.
Aasma and Armaan's marriage is fixed to which both disagree. Aasma finds that she isn't Deepak's child and Deepak has left Sukhi's sister, Baby and went to Canada for Harleen. To honour Deepak, Aasma eventually marries Armaan and Aliya becomes more possessive about Armaan.
Aasma begins to fall for Armaan, while Armaan is being manipulated by Aliya to not let Aasma know about their plan. Eventually, Aasma finds out about Armaan and Aliya’s relationship and brings them to Canada to fulfil their dreams and gives divorce papers to Armaan. Aasma is heartbroken and comes back to India, but later finds out that Armaan and Aliya are in trouble and goes to save them. Armaan ends his relationship with Aliya and starts pursuing Aasma.
Aasma and Armaan finally become one, but Aliya becomes antagonistic trying to separate them. Aliya ends up marrying Raja to stay close to Armaan.
Aliya separates Armaan and Aasma by murdering Aasma and Raja. However, Aasma ends up in an enemy country. She is named Noor as she has lost her memories and given refuge by Murtazim. Believing that Raja and Aasma are dead, Armaan marries Aliya, who is pregnant with Raja’s child. Eventually, Armaan saves Aasma and brings her back to India. Raja is also revealed to be alive and Aliya’s truth is exposed. She isn’t jailed because of her pregnancy, but she continues plotting to separate Armaan and Aasma.
Aliya makes Aasma promise to never get pregnant so her child gets the love that it deserves from Armaan. However, after Murtazim’s death, Aliya becomes insecure as Zaid is adopted by Armaan and Aasma. The whole family reluctantly accepts Zaid. Soon enough, Aasma is revealed to be pregnant. The entire family is happy, but Aliya once again starts plotting against Aasma. Aliya makes the family believe that Aasma’s child belongs to Murtazim.
7 months later, Aliya gives birth to a daughter, while Aasma is pregnant with twins and living by herself with Zaid. Aliya tries to put her daughter up for adoption, but Aasma fails her plans. Aliya hires goons to get rid of Aasma, which causes Aasma to go into early labor.
Aasma gives birth to twins, but is made to believe that one of her daughters died during birth. Aliya’s goons throw the daughter in the river, but she gets saved by Armaan.
Aasma is living with her daughter, Haniya, and Zaid. On the other hand, Armaan is raising Meher, unaware that she is his biological daughter. Aliya, who has not changed her evil ways, wants to get Meher out of the picture to get Armaan.
Aasma ends up coming to Moga with Haniya and Zaid for a job. Aasma and Armaan, respectively, meet Meher and Haniya, without knowing about their real relationship. Eventually, Armaan and Aasma come face to face, but the misunderstandings between them are not cleared.
