Guddan Tumse Na Ho Payega

The show narrated the story of Guddan Gupta, a kind-hearted girl living in Indore, who in order to save her step-sister's life married a billionaire and famous cook, Akshat Jindal.

Guddan lost her mother at a very young age and was brought up by her loving father Bhushan Gupta and stepmother Kaushlya Gupta who strongly disliked her. In a series of flashbacks, it was revealed that Guddan considers herself guilty of not being able to save her birth mother. Her stepmother left no chance trying to put Guddan down and accused her of being an incompetent human being by telling her "Guddan Tumse Na Ho Payega". Guddan's support system in her family was her father, Bhushan Gupta, and step-sister Revati Gupta.

On the other hand, Akshat Jindal, a widower, is one of India's most famous and respected chefs who lost his first wife very early in a traumatic accident which made him get cocooned in his own world. He was a very serious-no nonsense kind of person who does not believe in emotions. He was also a father figure for his three nephews (off-springs of his elder brother Avinash Jindal) and their respective wives. They both loved and feared him and called him AJ since he was too young to be called sasurji/papa.

When Guddan married Akshat, even though Akshat did not love her and used to get irritated by her antics, he protected her and supported her when needed. As a result, she slowly regained her confidence and started believing in herself. He also started experiencing emotions which he couldn't seem to name. In the early stages of their marriage, Akshat thought that Guddan married him through deceit for his money, so he didn't trust her. But as they started living together, he began to realise that she was an innocent and kind-hearted girl. During their reception party which was held on Guddan's insistence, he found out that it was Guddan's step-mother who got them married through deceit. After realising that he had been misunderstanding Guddan all these times, Akshat began to trust Guddan and appreciated her for taking care of his mother. On the surface, he always seemed to be angry with Guddan but he deeply cared about her while Guddan believed that Akshat kidnapped her step-sister Revati just to marry Guddan but as she started living with him, she realised he was a man of principles who can never do such a thing.

In a flashback, it's shown that police officer Vikram Rawat who's also Antara's elder brother forced Guddan to stay with Akshat to collect proof to frame Akshat for Antara's death. The story then focused on how Guddan and Akshat start living together under one roof and build an understanding for each other despite the frequent friction between them.

Yet, knowing that Rawat wanted to frame Akshat for Antara's murder Guddan concealed it from Akshat and the rest of the family. But when Rawat arrested Akshat, Guddan, requesting the DILs to support her, risked everything to save Akshat from such false accusations. Though he was thankful to Guddan for saving him, however, he found out that Guddan was actually staying at his house to gather evidence against him. On finding this Akshat is furious at Guddan and breaks her mangalsutra. Guddan, in spite of getting mocked by her DILs, vowed to wear the mangalsutra again only when Akshat himself would make her wear it thereby acknowledging her as his wife.

Akshat had a younger brother, Angad, who was mentally unstable and had been kept away from the Jindal household as he was somewhat responsible for Antara's death and could also be a threat to the women of the family. Therefore, he was kept at a secluded place by Akshat in order to protect his brother from the police. It is implied by Daadi (Akshat's mother) that Angad's insanity was somehow related to Antara's death. But Guddan upon finding the truth brought Angad back to Jindal's house because she believed the love of the family is the best medicine, much to the annoyance of Akshat.

The entire Jindal family, then, went to celebrate Holi in Goa and a series of incidents caused Guddan and Akshat to get close again. When Vicky, Durga Jindal's brother, and owner of the resort tried to approach Laxmi with indecent intentions, Guddan stood up to protect her DIL which resulted in a change of heart in Laxmi for Guddan. Vicky to avenge the insult tried to molest Guddan and when Akshat beats him up he dares to question the sanctity of Akshat marriage. Infuriated by such audacity, Akshat once again took marital vows with Guddan and went to tie the mangalsutra on Guddan's neck. However, Guddan stopped him saying that she wants him to tie the mangalsutra when he accepts her as his wife from his heart and not due to any social pressure. Akshat was surprised to hear that and began to respect her more because of her strong sense of self-respect.

Meanwhile, Durga Bahu, angry about her brother's insult in Akshat's hand, vowed to take revenge from Akshat by using Angad. She changed Angad's medication that would disturb his mental health and also provoked Angad into believing that Guddan is in love with Angad making him jealous of his own brother. One day Akshat who has now begun to respect Guddan and appreciate her childish yet honest nature, decided to tie mangalsutra on Guddan's neck. But Angad stabbed him and made the Jindal family believe that Akshat was dead. Angad revealed to Guddan that Akshat was alive however Guddan had to accept his marriage proposal if she wanted to save Akshat's life. Guddan eventually managed to rescue Akshat with the help of Laxmi Bahu. After coming home, Akshat pretended memory loss to find out the mastermind of the whole plan. However, Durga Bahu became aware of the pretense and cleverly manipulated the evidence making Saraswati the scapegoat. Thus, Akshan was made to believe that the mastermind was Saraswati. An infuriated Dadi asked Saraswati to leave the house but Guddan stopped her saying that she must be given a second chance. Akshat then tied the mangalsutra on her neck and repeated seven vows promising to protect, respect, and love her - thereby finally accepting Guddan as his wife wholeheartedly.

A few days later, Guddan's mother-in-law received the news of her and aka Akshat's aunt Shanti bua coming to visit them to see her nephew's bride as she was unable to attend the wedding. Shanti bua was a strict woman who believed that the DILs should be kept under strict rules and regulations and not to make friends with them. Guddan initially tried to pretend like a strict saas but she couldn't let her DILs suffer and therefore revealed her true self which was vehemently disapproved by Shanti Buaji. Buaji then throws a few challenges to Guddan and tells her to prove herself. Durga Bahu supported Buaji while Laxmi Bahu stood beside her friend/MIL Guddan. Through the challenges, Guddan however realised that this face-off was actually putting Durga Bahu's marriage at stake and therefore she let Buaji win. Durga, however, ungratefully made Guddan take a medicine that caused her to vomit a number of times. Saraswati and Durga utilised this chance to brainwash Laxmi Bahu and Akshat's mother into believing that Guddan was pregnant. The news brought such joy that they began to prepare for a grand celebration, thereby making Durga and Saru Bahus' plan a success. When Akshat came to know about the celebration, he angrily disclosed in front of the family that they have not and they will never consummate their marriage. Guddan was then humiliated and insulted by Buaji of being incapable of fulfilling her duties as a wife. However, with the care and support of her truly awesome husband, she regained her confidence to give a fitting reply to Buaji's accusations.

In the meantime, a plan made by Akshat's mother and Laxmi Bahu made Akshat go for an unplanned date which brought both of them closer as a couple. The same night, Guddan was accused of trying to burn Durga alive but AJ boldly told the family that he trusted her. The next morning, Durga put forward her condition that either she would stay at Jindal Bhavan or Guddan would. This brought up a heated argument between AJ and his nephews and the latter decide to leave the house. Guddan feeling helpless and sad with such a turn of events decided to leave the house. Guddan leaves the house only to come back again that very day but changing her avatar to a powerful and extremely strict MIL, much to the chagrin of Durga Bahu, Saru Bahu, and Buaji but Akshat stood by her like a rock and supported her in each step. With the help of AJ, she finally proved that a saas and bahu can be friends. Buaji left for her village blessing the couple while Akshat finally found that it was Parv behind the incident of burning durga alive and that Angad and Revati love each other.

Parv was taught a lesson by Akshan. However, to avenge himself, Parv made the Jindal family eat meals mixed with sedatives and made them unconscious and tried to marry Revati forcefully. He tied up the whole family and left Dadi with poisonous gas, Lakshmi in a water tank, and Akshat in a room full of snakes. Guddan managed to save all, but while rescuing an unconscious Akshat she got bitten by the snake. After handing over Parv to the police, AJ rushed her to the hospital where doctors told that her condition is very critical. AJ stood on burning coal to perform maha-arati for Guddan's life while realising his love for his wife. After an emotional sequence where it was shown that Akshat's undying love brought his wife back from death's door, Guddan returns to the Jindal house. Now in love with Guddan, Akshat showered her with care and love. However, he was yet to confess his feelings to Guddan while Daadi made arrangements for their renewal of vows.

Durga tried to create misunderstanding between Akshat and Guddan but all in vain. Both Akshat and Guddan finally profess their love for each other. During the engagement, as they were about to exchange rings Antara, Akshat's first wife made an entry. Guddan was shocked and believed that since Antara was back in his life so Akshat didn't need her anymore but, Akshat truly loved Guddan and had already moved on from Antara. Akshat finally told Antara that Guddan is nobody else but his wife when Antara tried to remove her palm prints from the wall. Antara was heartbroken on hearing this. But surprisingly she accepted Akshan and asked them to get married in front of her eyes.

But her wicked intentions were revealed when she spiked the sweets and made Akshan eat it. She asked both of them to come to the terrace and made an impression that Akshat had spent a night with her. Just after that she revealed to Guddan that she was never in coma and left Akshat because he was not rich at that time and he adopted his brothers's sons after his death. She is now back only for AJ's money and does not love Akshat and the family. Guddan is determined to reveal her truth in front of family. Rawat tried to help her but was killed by his own sister, Antara. Antara's next ploy was to tell the family that she was pregnant with Akshat's child. Heartbroken and therefore trying to punish himself, Akshat announced his wedding with Antara. Akshat and Dadi refused to believe Guddan that Antara is wrong. After realising how cruel Antara was, Durga Bahu started to change and promised to prove herself as a worthy DIL to Guddan. Antara puts on a show for the family about Guddan trying to kill her and her unborn child. She bribed the doctor who told Akshat that, Antara had suffered a miscarriage. Dadi gets angry and slaps Guddan. Akshat, Dadi and Antara leave the house to go live with Guddan's father. But it was all Guddan's plan to keep her family safe. Guddan scared for her family, gives all the property to Antara. But she tells Guddan that she'll leave Akshat if Guddan agrees to marry the groom (an old man) of Antara's choice. Guddan agrees for the safety of her family. Although upset with his wife, Akshat was enraged hearing the news of Guddan's marriage. He decides to stop it but Antara struck him in the head, rendering him unconscious. Meanwhile, Guddan's marriage takes place in front of Antara. After confessing all her crimes and how she made a fool of the Jindals to Guddan, Antara leaves the place happily believing that she had successfully removed Guddan from Akshat's life. But, it is revealed that Guddan married Akshat and not the old man. Akshat realised his mistake towards Guddan and apologised but Guddan was too heartbroken to believe him again.

Akshat tried hard to show his love for Guddan. Akshat disguises himself as Mr. Honda to expose Antara. After Antara's evil intentions are revealed to the world she vows to destroy lives of Jindal family. Guddan leaves jindal house. Antara escapes from police custody and kidnaps Angad. She than blackmailed AJ to marry her inorder to keep Angad safe. Antara asks guddan to save any one if she can as both places were in different directions. Guddan saves Angad and sents him home and rushes to stop Antara from marrying AJ. However, in mean of time guddan manages to stop their marriage holds antara captive. guddan professes her love for AJ and they both marry once again. Police arrests antara and Akshan returns home. On getting to know that Angad hasn't returned yet they rush to same place where he was held captive. Antara's men have killed angad and left a note blaming guddan for choosing to stop akshat's marriage instead of saving Angad. She unites with Parv and plots against Guddan. Antara turns Revati/Chhutki against her sister, Guddan.

On a honeymoon that was pre-planned by the now deceased Angad, Akshan spends a romantic night together and finally consummated their marriage. But the same night Akshat shoots Guddan and she falls off a cliff.

In January 2020, the storyline of the series took a leap of 4 years.[2]

The production and airing of the show was halted indefinitely in late March 2020 due to the COVID-19 outbreak in India.[3] Because of the outbreak, the filming of television series and films was halted on 19 March 2020 and expected to resume on 1 April 2020 but could not and the series was last broadcast on 24 March 2020 when the remaining episodes were aired.[4][5][6] After three months, the production and filming of the series resumed on 28 June 2020 and airing to resume from 13 July 2020.[7]

In April 2020, the shooting of some special episodes in the respective home of the cast was made.[8] On 22 June 2020, it started streaming on the digital platform ZEE5 as lockdown special episodes where the cast reminisces their past episodes and discuss their lockdown routine.[9] All episodes are now available here before TV

In May 2020, contrary to the rumors of Nishant Singh Malkani quitting the show, the truth of the generation leap was out. Speaking about his exit one of the most humble actors of Indian TV, Malkani said, "Because post leap they will be showing a story of a young girl who is supposedly Guddan and my daughter. Since Kanika (Mann) will be playing the daughter’s role as well, it makes sense for her but does not leave much scope for me. I won’t be able to play a 50-year-old father and they also don’t want me to play that at this age. So it is a mutual decision,"[10] Regarding the time leap Producer Ved Raj said, "This decision has nothing to do with the lockdown. We had planned to introduce a time leap and a new track much before that. We realized that there was nothing left to explore in the original story. The new storyline seems promising. It’s just that the plan couldn’t be executed earlier because everything came to a halt owing to the lockdown."[11] In August 2020 actor Savi Thakur known for his role in Porus joined the cast as the new male lead Agastya Birla post leap.[12]

This series is the original version and it was adapted in Telugu and Tamil languages.[13]
