Plot
Pakhi, daughter of Sharat Ghosh Dastidar and his wife Sumitra, is a simple and traditional girl from Malda with deep-rooted family values. On the other hand, Aranya Singha Roy is a rich, arrogant and suave business magnate with no belief in love or God. His closest emotional bond is with his sister Ananya who is married to the anatagonist, Krishnendu Sengupta.
Pakhi and Aranya meet for the first time at the Rajmahal Hotel where she accidentally falls from the stage into his arms. Aranya misunderstands this as intentional and uploads a video of the incident on social media. This results in Pakhi's divorce, and her family faces humiliation. They move to Kolkata where Pakhi gets a job in the ASR Group of Industries. In the initial days, Pakhi causes problems in the office, which incurs ASR's anger and prompts him to insult her. Anu meets Pakhi and hires her to take care of Pamela, ASR's college friend and fiancee. Pakhi moves in, and ASR feels disturbed with her presence in his house. Circumstances bring them close and they share some romantic moments together. Meanwhile, Krishnendu (Anu's husband) lusts for Pakhi. Misunderstandings creep in between ASR and Pakhi and she is compelled to accept Krishnendu's proposal, leaving ASR heartbroken. However, Pakhi realizes the true intention of Krishnendu and breaks the alliance. ASR breaks off the engagement with Pamela, and reconcile with Pakhi.
In parallel, Akki and Piu fall for each other. His mother, Pammi, resents Piu but ASR covinces her for their marriage. The plot introduces Harry, Pammi's nephew, who begins to grow fondness for Pakhi. Though Pakhi considers him a good friend, their friendship incites jealousy in ASR. On Akki and Piu's marriage day, ASR tries to propose Pakhi but does not succeed. Krishnendu plots against the lovers and succeeds in breaking them apart.
Anu is found to be pregnant. ASR strikes a deal with Pakhi to marry him, refusing which will lead to the cancellation of Akki and Piu's wedding. Pakhi agrees and is welcomed into the Singha Roy family. Pakhi tries to figure out the reason for ASR's strange proposal. When he finally reveals the reason, she tries to clarify her side but ASR is adamant. He is kidnapped by Krishnendu on his way to London. After a lot of hurdles, ASR and Pakhi succeed to expose Krishnendu and Pamela and reunite. They get married but find Krishnendu in front of them, to their surprise. ASR is shot and falls into the river; Pakhi undergoes mental trauma. Harry and Gauri get married.
6 months leap
Krishnendu owns ASR's properties and Pakhi's condition worsens gradually. Radhe, ASR's lookalike is introduced in Udaygarh when the family visits. Radhe and his family members, Baisaa and Bijli (her daughter) come to the Singha Roy house. Pakhi is convinced that Radhe is ASR and fakes her intention of marrying Krishnendu, much to his happiness, when Radhe reveals that he is indeed ASR. Krishnendu is arrested and sent to jail. Now, Bijli comes in between ASR and Pakhi. A new character, Raj, is introduced who is trying to get revenge on the Singha Roy family because his father had left him and his mother for ASR's mother. However, misunderstanding is cleared and he leaves. Khushi, Pakhi's twin sister, is introduced and her fiancé, Arnab. The show ends on a happy note with Khushi and Arnab getting married.
