Plot
Parineet Kakkar and Neeti Juneja, two best friends cross paths with Rajeev Bajwa. After meeting Neeti, Rajeev immediately falls in love with her. Hence, he rejects Pari, the girl his mother recommends for him. Due to circumstances at Pari's wedding with Varun, Rajeev reluctantly marries Pari. Later, he moves to Chandigarh, leaving Pari behind. Rajeev in Chandigarh lives with his aunt, uncle and cousins. Neeti is also in Chandigarh, completing her Air Hostess course. After Pari's father's death, Pair arrives in Chandigarh to find Rajeev. Pari unexpectedly runs into Neeti and stays with Neeti. Rajeev proposes to Neeti, who is unaware of his marriage to Pari. Rajeev and Neeti marry without Pari's knowledge. Pari takes Neeti to a hospital after her accident and discovers Rajeev is Sanju, Neeti's husband.

Later on, Pari discovers that Neeti is pregnant with Rajeev's child and requests the Bajwa family to accept Neeti. Soon, Neeti suffers from miscarriage and finds out that she can never become a mother again. Pari then decides to become her and Sanju's surrogate mother and continues to reside in the Bajwa house. Bebe, who is seeking revenge against the Bajwa family, poisons Neeti's mind against Pari. Neeti starts to hate Pari as she suspect her of having an affair with Sanju. She tries to kill Pari, but fails. Over various incidents, Rajeev falls in love with Pari.

Eventually, Neeti’s truth is exposed in front of the entire family. Neeti files for divorce and she and Sanju get divorced. Following this, Pari and Rajeev are married again and Rajeev promises to be by her side forever. Neeti then fakes her memory loss and ends up staying in the Bajwa house. Neeti causes Pari to miscarry. Neeti then gets pregnant with Rajeev's child using IVF, pretending to help Pari and Rajeev become parents again. Gurinder forces Rajeev and Pari to divorce and arranges for his marriage with Neeti. Pari realises that Neeti is feigning memory loss. Fearing Pari would expose her, Neeti with Gurinder, Daljeet and Rakesh's help, push Pari down a cliff. Neeti makes her believe that Rajeev is also involved with their plan and wants Pari dead. Pari is assumed to be dead by the Bajwa family. However, Pari is later rescued by Ambika Singhania. Ambika encourages Pari to seek revenge against everyone who has wronged her.

One year later
Neeti has usurped Kakkar family's property and has kept Gurpreet, Vikram and Babli as her servants. Likewise, Pami is also forced to do the household chores as Gurinder, Bebe and Chandrika are on Neeti's side. Pari comes back to take revenge as Parvati Singhania, Ambika's daughter. Everyone initially doubts her to be Pari, but they start believing she is Paravati because of her change in attitude and personality. Neeti, however, is sure that Parvati is Pari and that she has come back for revenge. She instigates her accomplices that Parvati is Pari, and they also start to believe that Pari is back for vengeance. Neeti then goes to Singhania House to expose Parvati, but it backfires on her and she is jailed.
