As the beautiful bride, Geet is all dressed up in her bridal finery, the entire village awaits the arrival of the baraat and the groom. The couple gets ready to exchange their garlands; the customary gunshot is fired to announce the auspicious moment, a tradition followed over the years, and suddenly all are shocked to witness an untoward incident at the ceremony: The groom was shot and he died upon reaching the hospital.

After this incident, Kulwant ends up in Pakistan after chasing the terrorists. When the news reached to Geet's village, once again she was taunted of being badluck. This time, she didn't admit defeat and prayed at the Gurudwara for Kulwant's safety. Her prayers were answered when Kulwant escapes and reaches the border although bruised and tired. Once the news had arrived, Gyaniji decided to get Geet married with Kulwant's kripan (sword) as it was practiced in Sikhism.

Once he regains consciousness at the hospital, his mum Mandira breaks the news of him being married to Geet.

When Geet comes to Amritsar, on their first night Kulwant breaks the news to Geet that this marriage was a mistake. Hurt by this, but for the sake of their families, they decided to continue their relationship as friends.

After a series of events, Kulwant tells Geet of his love Meher. They went to meet Meher, but she had already left as her sister had a hole in her heart. Kulwant warms up to Geet and realises he has fallen for Geet. Unknowing of Kulwant's feelings, she goes to Ludhiana in search of Meher. Meanwhile Kulwant has met with an accident and need blood transfusion. Geet coincidentally agrees to donate blood in exchange for information about Dr. Meher.

After knowing Kulwants feelings, Geet proposes that they help Meher as her sister will die soon. Kulwants bregrudgingly agrees, and they all go to Amritsar. After a series of events, the truth is revealed to Divya (Meher's sister) and they leave Amritsar after thanking Geet, Kulwant and their family.
