==Plot==<br />
Rannvijay Singh, an eight-year-old boy, lives with his parents, Ratan and Sampooran Singh, who is the Sarpanch of the village. One day, a woman named Amrita comes to the door and claims that Sampooran is the father of her daughter. Ratan insults her, but Sampooran arrives and agrees with Amrita. Observing this, Ratan is heartbroken and locks herself in a room. Guilt-ridden, Sampooran leaves the house, and Amrita dies at the door due to a terminal illness, holding the child in her arms. Deeply wounded by Sampooran's betrayal, Ratan develops a resentment toward Veera from infancy and neglects her throughout her childhood. Unaware of the adults' history, Rannvijay takes in the infant and names her Veera, caring for her as a mother. As she grows up to be a lively and brave girl, he eventually sends her to the city to complete her education.<br />
<br />
15 years later, Veera returns home and attempts to open a solar plant in Pritampura. She reunites with her childhood bully, a grown-up and rowdy Baldev, whose righteous father, Balwant, is now the Sarpanch. During their training with farm equipment, Veera and Baldev fall in love. An aspiring singer, Rannvijay, also marries Baldev's sister Gunjan, who is Veera's childhood best friend and has always dreamed of visiting London.<br />
<br />
Rannvijay wins an esteemed music competition, and the stardom goes to Gunjan's head as she accepts advertising offers and begins gambling to obtain cash for her luxuries. Gunjan soon becomes pregnant but wishes to prioritise her dancing career, so she schedules an abortion without telling Rannvijay. However, after hearing the child's heartbeat, she is unable to go through with the abortion and prepares to share the surprise with Rannvijay. Unfortunately, she accidentally falls on her stomach and miscarries. Once Rannvijay discovers Gunjan's initial intentions to abort, he feels hurt and betrayed. Gunjan consistently apologises, but Rannvijay takes a long time to finally forgive her. They discuss starting their family together, as Gunjan now wishes to be a mother, but her doctor informs her that, due to the miscarriage, she has become infertile, leading her to realise her mistakes.<br />
<br />
After Baldev is mistakenly accused of a crime orchestrated by the local policeman Rajveer, who is obsessed with Veera, she marries Baldev to save him from her brother's wrath. Baldev is soon acquitted, and their marriage is accepted by the family. However, tensions arise when Veera decides to run against Baldev in the election for Sarpanch, believing that he will not make the right decisions for the village. Veera wishes to use the land to build a school, while Baldev wants to construct a shopping mall. Hurt that his wife is not supporting him, Baldev starts plotting to sabotage her campaign, creating problems between the couple. Baldev ultimately wins the election, but he and Veera remain at odds as he disregards her advice regarding political matters.<br />
<br />
Pritampura becomes further victim to terrorists, resulting in Ratan's death when a bomb explodes. A grieving Rannvijay and Veera struggle to come to terms with this tragedy. Veera soon discovers she is pregnant and vows to allow Rannvijay and Gunjan to raise the child, as the series concludes on the day of Rakshabandhan.<br />
