Plot

Parineet Kakkar and Neeti Juneja are two friends who together are known as Parineetii. Rajeev Bajwa is a fun-loving selfish person. Since he loves Neeti, Rajeev rejects the girl his mother had found for him. However, there being unhappiness in Pari and Varun's marriage, Rajeev eventually marries Pari. Later on, as Gurinder wanted to become the biggest landholder in the village, Rajeev’s mother demands land from Pari's father. Rajeev reluctantly agrees to the marriage. Some time later, he moves to Chandigarh, leaving Pari in the Kakkar house.

3 months later

Still in Chandigarh with his aunt and cousins, Rajeev uses his nickname Sanju to creat a fake identity. Neeti is completing her Air Hostess course in Chandigarh, while Pari is still in the Kakkar house. Jaswanth, Pari's father, dies. After this incident, Pari decides to go find Rajeev. Mandeep drops Pari in Chandigarh.

Pari unexpectedly runs into Neeti there and stays with her. Rajeev proposes to Neeti in a party and she accepts his proposal, oblivious to the fact that Rajeev is actually Pari's husband. Afterwards, Rajeev and Neeti decide to marry. Rajeev ends up marrying Neeti but doesn’t inform Pari.

Later, Pari starts suspecting Rajeev of having an affair. Neeti suggests that Pari should go after Rajeev to find out his true intentions. Rakesh arrives in Chandigarh to separate Rajeev and Parineet. He and his goons kidnap Neeti by accident. Although she is able to escape, she meets with an accident. Pari takes her to a hospital where she discovers that Sanju and Rajeev are the same person. While Pari starts hating Sanju, his grandmother arrives and wants to see Pari and Rajeev's wedding in person. On the wedding day, Pari reveals Rajeev's double truth to everyone.

Pari finds out that Neeti is pregnant with Rajeev's child. Thus, she requests the Bajwa family to accept Neeti. As Rajeev feels guilty, he tries to apologize to Pari, but she rejects his apology. After Neeti suffers a miscarriage and discovers she can no longer become a mother, Pari decides to become her and Rajeev’s surrogate mother and continues to reside in the Bajwa house.

After a while of being a surrogate, Rakesh discovers a way to find Pari. Neeti observes Pari and Sanju’s behavior together and thinks Pari wishes to snatch Sanju away from her. Bebe, who seeks revenge from the Bajwa family, takes advantage of this and provokes Neeti in ruining Pari’s life. Neeti starts to believe that Pari is the other woman in her happily married life. She realizes if Pari was not carrying her and Sanju's child, Pari would be out of their life. Neeti teams up with Bebe to abort Pari's child, but all of their plans fail.

Unexpectedly, Neeti comes across Rakesh and realizes he is still obsessed with Pari. There, Neeti and Rakesh form a deal to get Pari out of the Bajwa house and have Rakesh marry her. Neeti and Bebe make a fake DNA report to prove Rakesh is the father. Pari is humiliated for lying to the family, although some of the family members are reluctant in believing that Pari could do such a thing. Pari agrees to marry Rakesh as she thinks it would be better for the family and Neeti.

Rajeev tries multiple ways to stop the wedding, but the wedding proceeds. On the wedding day, however, Rajeev succeeds in stopping the wedding. Rakesh's truth is revealed as to how he tried to abort Pari's baby, but Neeti and Bebe's true face does not show. The entire family comes to know that Rakesh is not the father of the baby, and that the baby is Neeti and Rajeev's.

Unable to leave Pari, Rakesh kidnaps her, but she is saved by Sanju. Later on, Rajeev is accused of murdering Rakesh and gets jailed. In reality, Rakesh is alive and it is all his plan to get Rajeev out of his way. Later on Parineet finds out that Rakesh is alive and proves Rajeev innocent. Neeti gets angry on Pari because she alone proved accusations on Rajeev are false and she thought Pari wanted to compete with her to get family attention and love. Neeti's hatred towards Pari reached next level that she cannot think straight and gets manipulated by Bebe who has an intention to destroy the Bajwa Family. Neeti plans an accident to kill Pari. However Rajeev saves Pari and gets hurt and is admitted in hospital. Neeti blames Pari for Rajeev's condition and plans to kill her in hospital. But Pari escapes and finds that Neeti wants to kill her and the baby. Both confront each other. Pari is shattered to discover the change in Neeti.
