==Premise==
Taani and Anurag are childhood friends bound to each other. Their parents get them married at a very young age, and later, due to the misunderstanding between Anurag's father Shekhar and Taani's mother Laboni, they had to separate. However, later they are brought together again because of their deep love and commitment to each other. This story encompasses the elements of eternal love between them and the sacrifices made by them through separation and meeting.

==Plot==

Teenagers Taani and Anurag study in the same school and are friends like their fathers Bimlendu and Shekhar. Suffering from [[cancer]], Bimlendu is worried about Taani's future after his death. To reassure him, Shekhar gets Anurag married to Taani. It is a private ceremony, only attended by the parents.

They plan that a more public and official ceremony will take place once Taani and Anurag are older. Uncomfortable at first, she and Anurag slowly start feeling a special bond between them. But, owing to circumstances beyond their control, the teenaged couple is separated.

===8 years later===
Taani is waiting for Anurag; her childhood crush has turned into deep love. Due to his long stay in the US for higher education, Anurag is now in love with the ambitious Nupur. Taani is heartbroken. Anurag vows to find her a suitable partner to replace him and selects his friend, Sushant. She retaliates with anger as she doesn't want to marry him.

Taani's dream of becoming a singer seems more achievable, as Sushant gives her contract for a music album. He begins falling for and proposes Taani, who only agrees as Anurag has vowed not to marry until she is well-settled. But, due to misunderstandings, Sushant leaves Taani, thinking she and Anurag are in love.

Nupur also leaves Anurag on the engagement day to accept an offer from a modelling agency. Taani sits in her place to save Anurag's honour. Their families are pleased, but he and Taani are left in a state of turmoil and confusion. Anurag confronts her about her relationship with Sushant, causing her to burst and reveal all that happened.

Anurag is upset. Taani comforts him saying that they'll have to keep up the charade of being engaged for some more time. Eventually, they'll reveal the truth. Through Taani's selfless sacrifices, Anurag realizes the love she has for him. Taani sees Anurag's brother-in-law Ritesh fiddling with his wife Ananya (Anurag's sister)'s medicines.

Ritesh's actions can harm Ananya; Taani tries to undo them. Ananya thinks that Taani is trying to hurt her. In a fit of rage, Shekhar calls Anurag a nobody living on his paternal name and wealth. He leaves the house that instant, followed by Taani and tells her that their pretence is over now. Laboni persuades Anurag to come home with her.

Anurag tries to get a job and become independent. Taani supports him. Anurag starts to see her in a different light fueled by the inherent love he has always had for her. He realises his feelings for Taani. Ananya instigates him against Taani. Anurag became very upset and broke off his relationship with Taani. Obviously, Anurag is not angry at Taani but feels he has been hurt by the person he loves the most, though he does not realise it. Anurag gets a business contract and completes the assignment without realizing Taani has quietly helped him behind the scenes. Eventually, he learns of her contribution to his success, which leaves him in a state of devastation. He is hit with a sense of reality that he is truly in love with Taani. On the other hand, Taani sets out for Mumbai to find Nupur and tell her to return to Anurag. Taani feels Anurag still loves Nupur. Taani reaches Nupur and tries to talk her into returning to Anurag. But Nupur is not impressed by Taani's arguments. Anurag overhears the whole conversation over the phone, and his love for Taani grows. Anurag now vows that he will bring Taani back. He admits to himself that it is Taani who he wants. He finds her and takes her home but does not confess his love, although she senses that something has changed within him.

One day, Anurag finally declares his feelings to Taani, and they embrace him. But Nupur comes back at that moment and tries to reconcile with Anurag. He pushes Nupur away and follows Taani. Nupur feels very upset and slashes her wrist to kill herself. Taani convinces Anurag to save Nupur. But Nupur plans on re-entering Anurag's life as his lover. She tries everything possible to gain Anurag's love, but he only loves Taani. During a family function, Anurag announces his relationship with Taani in front of everyone. He then proposes to her again and says he is not marrying her because of their childhood marriage but for his love. Meanwhile, Anurag's younger brother Robindo proposes to Mauli, a neighbourhood girl with whom he is madly in love. Mauli loves Taani's brother Taposh. But Taposh has clearly told Mauli that he is not interested. So Mauli agrees to marry Robindo. Then, Taposh realizes that he is also in love with Mauli. He tells her so, but she rejects him and decides to stay with Robindo. However, Robindo suddenly learns that he has an illegitimate child through a past relationship with a girl in the US. When Mauli goes to Taani's house, she overhears a conversation about Robindo's child. Mauli is so angry that she breaks off her engagement with Robindo and marries Taposh. Heartbroken, Robindo decides to leave town. He blames all that happened on Taani and curses her that she and Anurag will be separated.

Ritesh is having an affair with a prostitute named Gulabo. Taani, who finds out about it, pays Gulabo to keep her mouth shut so that Ananya does not have to suffer. Meanwhile, Nupur gives Gulabo more money to reveal everything to Ananya and blame it on Taani. Nupur hopes that Anurag's family will blame Taani and kick her out of the house. Gulabo goes to Ananya, who is pregnant, and tells her everything. Realizing the truth, Ananya is devastated and walks out of the house, crying, onto the street, where she gets into an accident. Just before she dies, Ananya hands over her daughter, Kuhu, and new-born son to Taani. As a ploy to take revenge, Ritesh pressurizes Taani to marry him and take care of his children. Taani is forced to agree to save Anurag, who has been accused of Gulabo's murder. Only Ritesh can save Anurag. When Taani and Ritesh are about to marry, Anurag stops them. He has brought the police, which arrests Ritesh. Anurag's innocence is proved.

Taani and Anurag marry and start their new life together. Robindo also returns and marries Mauli's younger sister, Jonaki. One day, Taani, Anurag and Jonaki take Kuhu to a temple. There is an accident, and Kuhu dies after slipping down the steps of the temple. Taani goes into shock, blaming herself for not looking after Kuhu. Anurag decides to take Taani away to the US so that she can get over her grief. But Taani refuses, so Anurag decides to go alone. Soon, the family gets to know that Taani is pregnant with Anurag's child. Anurag, who does not know of Taani's pregnancy, is on his way to the airport. Taani calls him and asks him to meet her. Taani comes to meet Anurag, but Ritesh drives up from behind and crashes into him before he can get out of his car. Anurag and his car fall off a cliff. Everyone thinks that Anurag is dead. After some time, they tell Taani to get remarried to Sushant. But Taani is sure that Anurag will come back and so does not remarry.

Anurag survives the accident and returns home several months later. He sees that Taani is in labour, and Sushant is rushing her to the hospital. Anurag misunderstands this scene—he assumes that Sushant is Taani's new husband and the baby's father. Anurag does not want to interfere with Taani's new life, so he enters a mental asylum and acts like he is insane. A few years later, Taani has become a renowned singer. She gets to know that Anurag is alive in a mental asylum. She goes to see him and narrates the story of her life to a nurse. When Taani leaves, the nurse asks Anurag why he is hiding the truth, and he explains the reason. He decides to go far away but wants to see Taani and his family for the last time. As he reaches his house, a small girl comes running out of it. When Anurag asks her what her father's name is, she answers, "Anurag". He is thrilled and goes inside with his daughter. Taani sees him and runs towards him. But then she rebukes him for assuming she could ever forget him and move on. The duo hug and rejoice. In the end, everything is settled. Anurag and Taani happily begin their new life with their little daughter.

==Plot==

Madhubala "Madhu" Choudhary was born on a film set and works in a parlour; her family members are junior artists in the Mumbai film industry. She fights a case of hit and run on behalf of Mukund against Bollywood superstar Rishabh Kundra "RK" who gets jailed. Mukund proposes Madhu and they get engaged. RK insinuates that Madhu is his girlfriend and humiliates Padmini and Shamsher's relationship, saying they're having a secret affair for last 20 years.

Mukund breaks off his engagement thinking Madhu has an affair with RK. She slaps RK who puts forward an offer for Shamsher's treatment as he was badly beaten up on RK's set. RK asks Madhu to marry him which she accepts. Rude and egotistical, he becomes hell-bent on ruining her life. Eventually, Madhu begins falling for him. Sikandar's wife Deepali wants her to leave RK but in vain. Shamsher shoots RK; Madhu donates her blood to save him.

No longer rude to Madhu, RK begins loving her. She restores his relation with Radha. The two confess their love; RK helps Padmini and Shamsher in getting married. Balraj abducts all but is shot to death by Padmini. RK needs a break and says he wants to marry Madhu properly so they can take their marriage forward. But suddenly, he tells he'd never loved her; it was his plan to entangle her in his love and then destroy her life when he leaves her.

Devastated, Madhu moves on. Everyone convinces RK to bring her back but he doesn't budge on his decision. Madhu gets a job as a hairstylist at RK's film set. He is again rude to her and adamant to make her leave. Later he decides to win her back and abducts her to forcefully live with her at his home. Earlier, Madhu not relents. Enters Sultan. Madhu leaves saying she won't come back unless RK confesses his love. He finally proposes her, and they unite.

The preparation for grand wedding begins. Sultan falls in love with Madhu, and is now vengeful on RK. Being his half-brother, he uses this to humiliate him. Sultan refers to RK as a bastard as Mohan firstly married Meera. Sultan fakes his death and RK is jailed, until Madhu learns the truth.
Sultan asks her to divorce RK and come to him to save him. Helpless, Madhu agrees. Enraged, RK uncovers Sultan's deeds and eventually kills Sultan with the police to save Madhu.

Due to some reasons, RK is banned from Bollywood and plans to produce his own film. To help him, veteran director Mehul Chopra selects Madhu as the heroine but RK refuses and is actually fascinated by idea of her being heroine.
RK finds a heroine but is dissatisfied and vows not to pressurize Madhu to sign the film. Thinking his career is over, RK is about to commit suicide when his assistant Bittu informs him Madhu has stepped in as the heroine.

Super excited, RK appears as the lead of his film in front of media with Madhu who marks her entry into Bollywood. He confesses that he loves and thanks Madhu for becoming his heroine. After sometime during shooting, RK is injured and suffers paralysis. Madhu decides to finish the film. RK develops insecurity to her due to her rising fame and being ignored by everyone because he is handicapped. Madhu gets pregnant but RK doesn't want a baby, breaking her heart.

The film "Ishq Ek Junoon" becomes a superhit, with RK out of his problems. Madhu miscarries and blames him who tries his best to avert her mind from getting into film industry. Later, Madhu turns a heroine like she was destined to be. RK's look-alike KRK is introduced, hired by Kulbhushan for revenge for RK. KRK agrees to take RK's place in need of money but leaves his life when he realizes of separating him from Madhu.

KRK returns to his hometown with prize money from RK for speaking up the truth and showing decency. Kulbhushan is arrested. Pregnant once again, he gives birth to a girl whom RK also names Madhubala. He prophesies that she will become a superstar like her parents.

===20 years later===

RK and Madhu died in the bomb blast. Radha escaped with and raised infant 'Madhubala' without the shadow of cinema industry as it would become a threat for her. Madhubala is now grown-up and looks like Madhu. She falls in love with Abhay Kapoor. They announce their marriage but he gets her married to Raja, RK's mentally challenged second lookalike.

Abhay reveals he wanted to avenge death of his father Harsh Vardhan who committed suicide after being incriminated for killing RK and Madhu. Actually KRK's son, Raja finally becomes a normal person. Due to his life of a gangster, Madhubala hates and insults him. Angry, Raja rapes her. She files a case and gets him jailed but withdraws it later.

Baiji dies. Being jailed, Raja thinks Madhubala is the reason for it and begins hating and torturing her. Pregnant with his child, she later requests him to forgive her which Raja does. They remarry. One night, a producer assumes Raja as RK and proposes to do a film with him that the producer had wanted to do with RK and Madhu.

Madhubala reads Madhu's diary, learning her last wish was to make a film on her and RK's life. She convinces Raja to sign the film; they start their career and appear as Madhu and RK, giving the first shot of their film. Raja states it's not the end but the beginning of a new life as they were always destined to live and be superstars together.
