Plot

The series begins with the love triangle of Ranveer, Sahiba and Daljeet. Daljeet is in love with Sahiba, who has feelings for Ranveer. Ranveer flies to London for a job. To meet him, Sahiba needs passport and an easy way is her marriage. She weds Daljeet and reaches London. Upon knowing Sahiba is now married and living in London, Ranveer assumes she has moved on and gets engaged to Jazz. To unite him with Sahiba, Daljeet locates Ranveer who now learns the truth. Sahiba, however, now loves Daljeet.

Enraged after knowing this, Ranveer kills Karamveer and frames Daljeet who is jailed. He asks Sahiba to wed him for Daljeet's freedom. Helplessly she does so, and loses Daljeet's unborn child. Later Ranveer decides to set Sahiba free, unaware that she is now pregnant with his child. Bailed, Daljeet finds the footage of Karamveer's death and then fights with Ranveer, leading an accident in which he dies. His father Karnal blames Daljeet and Sahiba for his death.
