It also reinforces Zee’s programming strategy to offer thoughtful messages through our programmes and deliver complete entertainment to our audiences. It is a story which reflects a character of candid girl whose heart is broken into pieces when she learns that the life she has lived is indebted to her guardian, who have nurtured her more than her parents.”

When Ranjana realizes that Rano is in love with Inder, but Inder is keener to marry Disha, Ranjana lets the cat out of the bag. She discloses the fact to Disha that she is not their biological child but the daughter of their servant. Disha, on realizing that Rano loves Inder, makes the biggest sacrifice of her life by marrying Mr. Sehgal -a much older divorcee suitor. She thus proves her loyalty to her foster family.
The story revolves around Disha, the dilemmas faced by her, How that one decision changes her life, How Ranjana starts accepting Disha as a part of the family, How the childhood friendship between Rano and Disha change once Rano gets married to Inder…
