Plot

Bhagyashree Iyer is an independent woman who lives in Delhi. She heads Tattvaa and for the last five years has been living away from her parents. She left her home to marry her boyfriend Nikhil after her parents refused to meet him. Nikhil rejected her since he was only after her father's money. The betrayal left her with trust issues and no faith in love.

Rishabh Kapoor is a cheerful and happy-go-lucky man struggling to make ends meet. He was in need of a job and got one at Tattvaa. Bhagyashree learns that her parents, who never learned what happened five years ago, are coming to visit her and her husband. Her friend Nitya advises her to marry before they arrive to portray a happy married life.

She meets Vikram Bhalla, head of Tattvaa's west zone and agrees to marry him. Rishabh exposes him as a fraud and two-timer, thus saving Bhagya from being manipulated. Her parents assume Rishabh is her husband and the two maintain the facade. Bhagya falls in love with Rishabh but he is hiding a truth.

He is a rich businessman and he came into Bhagya's life hoping to earn her trust so he can avenge his father who is in jail because of her false testimony. Despite his mission, Rishabh ends up growing feelings for Bhagya making him feel guilty and conflicted.
