The series started as the stories of Pragya And Bulbul, and their mother Sarla's hope to see them married, but as the time went by, the series revolved around Abhi And Pragya.

20 years later Pragya is settled in Hoshiarpur with her daughter Prachi, Beeji and Beeji’s grand-daughter, Shahana who lives with Pragya and Prachi and affectionately calls Pragya as Maasi. Abhi is settled with his daughter Rhea who is taken care by a governess, Meera and has also shifted his house. The Mehras are now neighbors with the Kohlis, Vikram Kohli, who is Abhi’s business partner and friend, his wife Pallavi, their two children Ranbir, Mishti and Daljeet, Vikram’s mother. Purab has now divorced Disha and married Alia. They have a son together named Aryan. Prachi gets a scholarship to study in the same college where Rhea studies in Delhi. Pragya though initially reluctant, however decides to send Prachi considering her future. In Delhi, Prachi and Abhi meet several times and develop a close bond with each other. While, the twins start their relationship on a bad note and Rhea starts hating Prachi. She constantly plots against Prachi and lands her in trouble several times. One such incidents makes Pragya return to Delhi to save her daughter. Pragya, Prachi and Shahana, start staying in Sarita behen’s house who lovingly calls Pragya as Anuradha (her daughter’s name). This leads to a lot of confusion since everyone from Abhi’s side calls Pragya as Anuradha (making Abhi also think that Prachi’s mother’s name is Anuradha), while Pragya never realizes who Abhi is as everyone calls him Mr. Mehra.
