Plot

[edit]

Kunal Chopra lives in an apartment with his parents and his siblings, Gaurav, Anand and Raveena. Once a career-oriented and successful lawyer, Kunal has lost his zest at life and considers himself a failure, resulting in him not doing anything and Gaurav becoming the sole breadwinner. Kunal joins a law firm under Advocate D.K. Thakral but refuses to take up a case given by Thakral on moral grounds, leading him to be fired. Kunal later joins a construction company but is also fired due to Thakral's actions. On the other hand, Siddhi Malik is living with her brother Kapil and sister Khushboo. Ten years later, Anand graduates from law school. Siddhi and Anand fall in love and are set to marry. However, a day before the marriage, the Chopra family learn about the demise of Anand in a bomb blast. Kunal marries her to make his grieving mother happy and breaks his relationship with Thakral's daughter, Richa. He later finds his life changing for the better through Siddhi's arrival. Later, Kunal has Raveena married to Vikram, the brother of Gaurav's wife, Seema, despite Raveena being in a relationship with Richa's brother, Rohit.

Kunal and Siddhi consummate their marriage, however, Kunal, thinking that the act of consummation was one-sided, figures that Siddhi is not happy in the marriage and still harbors feelings for Anand, and files for divorce, shattering Siddhi, who finds herself in love with him. Seema encourages Siddhi to make Kunal realize his love for her. Meanwhile, Richa, conspiring to separate the couple, falsely accuses Kunal of raping her, leading to which Kunal, initially fighting the case himself, is forced to transfer the case to Siddhi (trying to be a lawyer herself). Siddhi is then kidnapped by Rohit and injured in the process but is able to win the case. She and Kunal later confess their love for each other during a family trip to Ujjain. Siddhi is then revealed to be pregnant. Meanwhile, Kunal catches Gaurav in an affair with someone and banishes him from the family.

After an argument in which Siddhi leaves Kunal, she unknowingly crashes into Rohit in an accident with her car. Richa and her father blame Siddhi for his death, while Kunal decides to prove her innocent. Thakral, however, manages to trap Kunal and he is sent to jail. Rohit is later revealed to be alive. Siddhi, Vikram, and Raveena get hold of him, but Richa, swearing revenge on Siddhi, kills her own brother, who testified against her earlier in Kunal's rape case. Richa strikes a deal with Siddhi, who agrees to sign the divorce papers and behave rudely towards the Chopra family. Siddhi accuses Kunal in the court for murder, but Richa proves him innocent and Siddhi as the culprit. Siddhi is incarcerated, and a heartbroken Kunal promises to never interfere in her life anymore. While in jail, she meets Sulekha Diwan and delivers male twins. Richa steals the first twin and convinces Kunal that Siddhi wanted to kill him. Upon discovering this, Siddhi asks Sulekha to give the second baby to the Chopra family. Sulekha initially complies, but when she learns that Kunal is planning to marry Richa, she returns the baby to Siddhi. Kunal ultimately decides not to marry Richa.

9 years later, Siddhi, who is released, thinks that Kunal is happy with Richa, so she decides to move on, goes through a makeover, and is shown to be living with Sulekha and her son, Abhay Diwan. Kunal, now losing trust in everything, was back to drinking, gambling, and fighting. The twins, both named Anand (after the Chopras' deceased younger son), grow up. The elder Anand Chopra lives with Kunal while the younger Anand Diwan lives with Siddhi and is raised as a spoilt brat. Anand Chopra, tired of seeing Kunal in a dire state, convinces him to fight a case. On the day of hearing, Kunal spots Siddhi after nine years. The elder Anand is selected for a dance competition, and Kunal sells his gold medal that he earned from a law school to pay for the fees. During the competition, the elder Anand meets his younger brother. After the competition, Siddhi and Kunal come face to face. Both end up working in Abhay's firm, in which Kunal is forced to work under her. Siddhi later realizes that Kunal and Richa are not married. Meanwhile, the two Anands realize that they are both twins, and vow to reunite their parents. Abhay sends Siddhi on a trip to Bangalore to solve some legal issues, during which Kunal and Siddhi come close to each other. Kunal and Siddhi decide to start a new life with their children, but Kunal sees her marrying Abhay and decides to avoid her. Abhay files custody of the kids, and Thakral fights his case, while Kunal fights for his children. In the court, Siddhi speaks favorably of Kunal, angering Abhay. Kunal sees Abhay strangling Siddhi, but she tells him to not interfere in her personal matters. Afterwards, the court declares Abhay and Siddhi's marriage invalid, as Kunal and Siddhi haven't divorced yet, and orders them to live under one roof for six months. The twins try their best to bring their parents together, but to no avail. Siddhi tells Kunal that she married Abhay as he would threaten her of killing the younger Anand. However, Kunal refuses to believe this. Meanwhile, during a trip to the mall, some robbers attack it and keep Siddhi at gunpoint. Kunal saves her, but in the process, they shoot the younger Anand. Abhay pays for his operation and reminds Kunal that he is a loser. Kunal pledges to change his life. Afterwards, he and the twins learn that Siddhi is injured in a blast but are unable to find her. Kunal later discovers that Abhay kidnapped Siddhi and has him arrested. Kunal and Siddhi reunite, and the show ends with the Chopra family recovering their mansion.
