== Plot ==
The story is about the family of Pritam Singh, an [[Non-resident Indian and person of Indian origin|NRI]] who settled in the United Kingdom. The show is largely centered on Pritam's granddaughter, Parminder (Sangeeta Ghosh), who holds traditional Indian values. The story takes off when Parminder meets Dev (Varun Badola) at her cousin's wedding in [[Chandigarh]]. They fall in love, but Pammi is already engaged to Dr. Rohan in [[London]]. They eventually get married, but alas happiness is not written in their destiny as Dev's ex-fiancé Anu marries Pammi's brother and has made it her task in taking revenge on Pammi by ending her and Dev's marriage.
