Plot
Rajeev Bansal, a bank manager in Jaipur, lives with his wife Jhanvi, their children Trishala and Rishabh, and his extended family. Although Rishabh shares a strained relationship with his father, Rajeev is determined to become his friend and eventually succeeds.
While speaking to Rajeev on the phone, Jhanvi causes a car accident while avoiding a pedestrian. She and the driver of another vehicle are killed.

Devastated by Jhanvi's death, Rajeev loses interest in life. Daljeet Bagga, a widowed Punjabi senior manager, joins his bank. The two initially dislike each other, but Rajeev learns that Daljeet's brother-in-law, Shakti, seeks custody of her children, Barry and Twinkle, who are the heirs to her late husband Ravinder's property. Rajeev is shocked to discover that Ravinder was the other victim in Jhanvi's accident. Driven by guilt and sympathy, he enters a contractual marriage with Daljeet to help her retain custody of her children.
Although Rajeev's family opposes the marriage at first, unaware of its contractual nature, Daljeet gradually earns their acceptance. Barry, initially hostile to Rajeev, turns against Shakti after learning his true intentions and eventually accepts Rajeev as his father. Trishala also accepts Daljeet after witnessing her genuine care. However, Rishabh resents Daljeet, believing she is replacing Jhanvi.
Daljeet falls in love with Rajeev and confesses her feelings, but he remains devoted to Jhanvi's memory. Shakti later exposes the marriage contract, shocking the family, though they remain supportive. After Daljeet wins another custody battle and Shakti's motives are revealed, the marriage is annulled. By then, Rajeev has unknowingly fallen in love with Daljeet. Rishabh's attempts to humiliate her fail, and her continued kindness eventually leads him to accept her as his mother.
Daljeet later learns that Jhanvi caused Ravinder's presumed death and feels betrayed by Rajeev's secrecy. Meanwhile, Barry and Rishabh overcome their rivalry and become friends. Seeking revenge, Shakti arranges an accident that nearly kills Daljeet and attempts to murder her in hospital. Terrified of losing her, Rajeev realizes he loves her. Daljeet forgives him, and they reconcile and marry despite further obstacles.
Barry later suffers a head injury during a fight with Rishabh and loses all memories of the previous year, including Rajeev and Daljeet's relationship. Rajeev temporarily distances himself from Rishabh but forgives him after seeing his remorse. Shakti returns and blackmails Daljeet, but Barry intervenes and drives him away.
Ravinder, believed dead, unexpectedly returns alive. Although he initially decides to leave for Daljeet's happiness, his identity is revealed. He restores Barry's lost memories, leaving Daljeet torn between Rajeev and Ravinder. Manipulated by Shakti, Ravinder briefly schemes to win her back, while Rajeev selflessly encourages Daljeet to choose him. Ultimately, Daljeet declares her love for Rajeev. Ravinder repents and apologizes. An enraged Shakti shoots at Rajeev, but Ravinder takes the bullet, kills Shakti, and dies after asking Rajeev to care for Daljeet.
