Plot
The series is set in Bandra, Mumbai and focuses on the lives of two next-door neighbors, Dr. Mukta Gokhale, a pediatric dentist, and Sagar Koli "SK", a CEO. Mukta befriends Sai after rescuing her from an accident, but she's shocked by Sagar's harsh treatment of Sai. By chance, Mukta meets Pranav at her nephew's thread ceremony, sparking memories of their college romance, and her infertility leading to Pranav canceling their wedding. When Sagar returns from Goa, he avoids meeting Sai due to a painful past with his wife, Saavni, who cheated on him with his former boss, Harshavardhan. Mukta agrees to an arranged marriage with Pratik. Meanwhile, Mihir and Mihika try to gain approval from their families for their relationship, but both families reject it. Mukta tries to convince Sagar to support them, but he refuses.

Sai gets locked inside a room during The Business Excellence Award ceremony, and Mukta comes to her rescue, leading to a misunderstanding with Sagar. Sharmila gives Sai an extra dose of expired cough syrup which leads to Mukta taking Sai to the hospital without informing Sagar's family. Sagar files a police complaint against Mukta. Madhavi and Purushottam get arrested during the engagement ceremony. Mukta breaks ties with Pratik after discovering his true colours. Sagar regrets misunderstanding Mukta after learning the truth about Sai's condition. Harshavardhan manipulates Saavni to gain custody of Sai. Chaos ensues when Saavni presents legal documents to take Sai. After the court grants them divorce, Sagar tries to gain custody of Sai, but the court rules in favor of Saavni.

Sagar encounters a challenging situation when his client, Rohit, and Rohit's wife, Revati, mistakenly assume Mukta to be his wife. Sagar persuades Mukta to pretend to be his spouse, and she agrees to assist for Sai's sake. Later, Mihir invites Rohit to the Diwali festival celebrations at Shanti Niwas Apartments. During the event, Rohit and Revati meet Sagar's family. Eventually, Mukta, Sagar, and Sai celebrate the Diwali festival together, experiencing great joy as a family.

The watchmen inform Sagar when the entire Koli family starts searching for her. Mihir claims to have seen Madhavi near the storeroom. This leads to a clash between Sagar and Mukta. Later, Madhavi confesses her actions to Lucky, who reassures her not to worry. Mihika discovers Madhavi's involvement in locking Indra and attempts to apologize to Mihir, reaching out to him at a restaurant.

Mihika is shocked by Mihir's malicious act of circulating her viral video to defame her, unaware that it was actually orchestrated by Lucky seeking revenge on Mihir. Sagar defends Mihir when Mukta and Mayuresh accuses him of spreading obscene videos of Mihika. Mukta vows to assist Saavni in winning the custody case. During the custody court proceedings, Sai expresses her wish to stay with Mukta rather than the Kolis or Saavni. Mukta tells the judge to grant paternal custody to whoever will keep Sai happy.

At the resort, the Gokhales and the Kolis learn of this and turn down the proposal. Jayant and Purushottam feel disheartened as their plan doesn't succeed. Eventually, Mukta and Sagar decide to marry, considering Sai's well-being. Both families eventually accept this decision. Saavni mistakenly believes that Mukta's fiancé is Mayuresh. The families joyfully celebrate Mukta and Sagar's engagement. Indra assures Mukta that she will be treated like her own daughter, leaving Madhavi deeply moved.

Overwhelmed with emotion, Sai affectionately calls Mukta as her mother which makes the latter very happy. The Kolis and Gokhales enjoy every wedding event with great joy. Later, Saavni is shocked to learn that Sagar is actually Mukta's fiancé and tries to stop the wedding by lying about Sagar being a bad father to Aditya, their son. Mukta cancels the wedding when she finds out about Sagar hiding the truth. However, it is revealed that Mukta's actions were just a pretense to make Saavni leave. Mukta and Sagar eventually get married in front of Sai and their families.
