Plot

Tarun, Preeti's son, and his wife Rati believe Preeti is nothing more than a mere servant and throws her out of the house. Preeti then wishes to earn self-respect by working as a Wedding Planner.

On the other side, Keertan, who looks happy on the surface, is hiding a deep wound within. When Chanda Rathore, a prospective bride for Keertan, insults him because he rejected her, Keertan's uncle Sushant motivates him to work.

Keertan offers a business partnership to Preeti, which she initially denies. Later, she agrees when he takes a stand for her before a wretched client. Preeti and Keertan face many issues in the initial days of their business, but as a result, Preeti and Keertan develop a bond of friendship, trust & respect.

Tarun puts forth a challenge before Preeti where, in 25 days, she will have to prove herself capable of becoming a businesswoman, and if she fails, she will have to come back and look after his house. With the help of Keertan, she wins.

Keertan marries Preeti when one of their mysterious clients is revealed to be Nandini. Though Preeti knows their relationship is only respect for each other. After their marriage, Preeti and Keertan work together to determine Nandini's motive and expose her before the family, especially before Arjun. On the day of Makar Sankranti, Nandini discloses that Arjun is adopted, forcing Keertan to commit suicide, but he gets saved by Preeti. Nandini gets arrested but vows to return. Tarun apologizes to Preeti for his misbehavior and reunites with the family.

Preeti is shocked when she finds out that Keertan pretended to be in love with her, and when Kusum breaks all ties with her after witnessing Neel and Shika’s engagement. Neel tells Keertan and Preeti that Kushala pressured him to get married as their going through a business crisis. Preeti and Keertan decide to arrange the money through Shaadi Mubarak. Kusum apologizes to Preeti and gives her blessings to Priyanka and Neel. Keertan gets over possessive of Preeti, which creates misunderstandings between them.
