Plot summary

The story revolves around the life of 34-year-old Sanchi who struggles to manage her deceased father's strawberry farm in Panchgani,[6] secure the futures of her two younger siblings and care for her grandmothers. Dhruv Goel, a 27-year-old, charming, wealthy lawyer, arrives on holiday from Mumbai and stays with Sanchi's neighbour. Sanchi initially finds Dhruv irritating but they later become friends. Dhruv realizes he loves Sanchi during her sister Prachi's marriage. However, Prachi's uncle-by-marriage seeks to marry Sanchi. This engagement is avoided when Dhruv reveals the uncle's bad intentions.

Sanchi's elder brother, Pradeep, files a lawsuit for control of the farm, which he wants to sell to an industrialist. Dhruv tries to console her but inadvertently confesses his love. Sanchi becomes upset, fearing another man is trying to take advantage of her. Dhruv tries to convince Sanchi that she loves him, but becomes frustrated at her refusals. Only when he sets to return to Mumbai does Sanchi stop him and confess her love. They share romantic moments before her family break them apart, and try to marry Sanchi to a 50-year-old man. Dhruv becomes enraged with how Sanchi is treated and gets into a fight over her honour, moving her to stand with him.

The next threat to their future comes from Dhruv's family, as his mother schemes to marry him to his childhood friend, Ankita. Sanchi becomes jealous, though Dhruv insists he loves only her. When Ankita learns of their relationship, she tells Sanchi that Dhruv had several ex-girlfriends, and Sanchi fears that Dhruv might leave her. Dhruv is upset she would think this, but Sanchi makes up with him.

Dhruv is called to meet with the industrialist, who turns out to be his older brother. It turns out that Dhruv is a silent partner in the company buying the farm. He is unable to explain the situation and, feeling betrayed, Sanchi calls-off their engagement. Dhruv tries to convince his father to stop the sale and accept Sanchi as his bride, but his father instead tries to buy-off Sanchi with ₹20 crore and the farm if she will leave Dhruv forever. Sanchi refuses; and the father apologizes, saying it was a test. However, at a family dinner, Dhruv's mother tells Sanchi that their marriage will create a rift between Dhruv and his brother, tearing their family apart; she asks Sanchi to leave Dhruv forever.

Sanchi capitulates and accepts ₹25 crore from Dhruv's father, telling Dhruv nothing as she leaves for Panchgani. Dhruv calls Sanchi demanding the truth, and she claims that after seeing the cheque she could not stop herself from taking it. Dhruv cannot hide his disappointment as he disconnects the call. But then Dhruv comes to know that Sanchi had not encashed the cheque and had done all this on his mother's insistence and therefore he apologizes to Sanchi for not trusting her and marries her.

Reception

The Indian Express rated two stars and reviewed, "Jee Le Zara has all the right elements — the smart sets, the wardrobe, the middle-class lifestyle, even the actors — but its heart is somehow misplaced in the drama dye. As cool as the concept sounds, the show is playing to the gallery, pandering to popular culture with long pregnant pauses, silly facial expressions, that funny ringtone of a background score and needless exaggeration."[8]
