Simar dreams of becoming a dancer but her conservative parents are against her dream, considering dancing as an improper and obscene occupation. Instead, they are planning to get their daughter married to wealthy businessman Prem Bharadwaj. At the day of the wedding, there's a great dancing contest and to allow Simar to participate in it without disturbing their parents, Roli takes Simar's place until the latter returns. However, Simar is late and thus, dressed up and veiled Roli is forced to marry Prem. This creates problems, as Simar and Prem love each other and Roli is in love with Siddhand. After some time, everybody unites with the person he/she loves and both Simar and Roli are accepted in Bharadwaj House. Nirmala, Simar and Roli's grandmother-in-law and family matriarch and Rajendra and Sujata, their parents-in-law, have deep trust in the sisters and always support them but Pari, Uma and Khushi, the other daughter-in-laws of the Bharadwajs, are jealous of them as they do not get such attention and respect due to their craftiness and greed and try to create difficulties in their lives from time to time.

A daughter named Anjali is born and the Bharadwajs look after her with much love and care. But later, Roli has a car accident and unintentionally runs over a woman named Sunaina.
