Dr. Vikrant Dalvi, who is a renowned gynaecologist by profession, is set to tie the knot with Monika. Vikrant hails from a renowned family of doctors by profession, while Monika and her sister Manasi lost their parents when they were still kids. Ever since, they have been raised by their paternal grandparents. Vikrant showed love toward Monika when she married him, for the sake of hiding her dirty secret from his family. On the wedding day, Vikrant learns that Monika is nearly three months pregnant and soon reveals it to Manasi, but both keep the truth hidden for the sake of Monika and Manasi's aged grandparents. Later, Vikrant confronts Monika, but she denied her affair and considers it to be an honest mistake.

Soon, Manasi joins Vikrant's hospital as a pediatrician and later become best friends. Monika gets insecure of their friendship and confronts them. Vikrant and Manasi swiftly deflect Monika's confrontation. Later, she tries to make hurdles for them. Vikrant gets tired of Monika's antics and files a divorce. By now, the Dalvis learn about Monika's pregnancy, and Monika continues to insist that the unborn child's father is Vikrant. The Dalvis earlier turned cold by this revelation, however they get along well with the Deshpandes for the sake of unborn child.

Later, Vikrant learns that the Monika was aware about her pregnancy before her marriage. Hence, Vikrant confronts her in front of whole family. By this shocking stance of Vikrant, the entire family sides Vikrant about the divorce, but Monika warns the family with threat of the unborn child. Manasi starts dating Salil Pandit on her grandparents' wishes. But she is always connected and concerned about Vikrant and the unborn child. During a court hearing, Monika collapses and goes into labour pain. Post 48 hours of surgery, a daughter is born and later named Isha. Due to troubles caused by Monika and Isha, Manasi eventually shifts to Delhi with Isha.

4 years later

Later, Isha and Manasi return to Mumbai. Monika, who lives with Vikrant to fund her expensive lifestyle, gets insecure because of Isha and Manasi. Later, when Vikrant tries to divorce her, she uses Isha as a pawn against Vikrant. Also, Salil confesses Manasi about her attachment to Vikrant and Isha. Monika's ex-boyfriend and Isha's biological father Rajan returns, and defrauds Monika, leaving her torn and trembling on the road.
