PlotEdit
Season 1Edit
The plot of the series revolves around a caring wife named Poonam, her husband Rohit Mehra, who is a chartered accountant, and an interior designer named Ananya Sharma. Poonam and Rohit have two daughters named Bani and Nikki. On the outside, they seem like a happy family, but the truth is that Rohit is in love with Ananya. When the secret finally comes out, it shocks everyone involved. Rohit's family starts hating Ananya. Rohit decides to divorce his first wife and marry Ananya. After several arguments and a fight, Rohit divorces his first wife Poonam and marries Ananya. Everyone is very unhappy.
After few happy days following her marriage, Rohit's daughter Bani becomes depressed, as she is not happy with her married life. Rohit goes back to his family to support his daughter through her stress and depression. Seeing this situation makes Ananya feel insecure, leading to everyday fights with Rohit. She believes that Rohit is still connected with his family, that his wife and daughters are his first priority, and that she is nothing in his life. Unhappy, she writes a letter for Rohit and leaves the house.
Season 2Edit
Upon reading Ananya's letter in the first episode of Season 2, Rohit becomes upset and thinks to himself, "how could she do this to me? I left everything for her and what has she done?" He looks for her everywhere but fails to find her. After a period of searching he learns that she is in Doha, and immediately goes there to take her back. After many tries, he manages to convince her to come back to India, where they set up a new life together. Everything seems to become normal again. However, Rohit's first wife Poonam starts dating a young man named Abhimanyu.
In subsequent episodes, Bani realizes that she had never loved her husband and wants to divorce him, while Rohit goes through a financial crises but doesn't let Ananya learns of the matter. One day Poonam informs Ananya of Rohit's financial issues. Ananya is shocked that Rohit never told her about these financialsufferings, as both of them were planning a huge trip. Because of this misunderstanding, they go through a huge fight. Poonam is also very upset, as she is uncomfortable with the love she is receiving from Abhimanyu. She is also going through a difficult period of having a menopause, which has made her emotionally unstable. Eventually she comes to Rohit for a one-night stand. Poonam tells Rohit not to let Ananya know of their affair, as she would be very upset and end their relationship.
On Christmas Eve the all of the family and friends were invited to a party. Ananya originally believed that Poonam spent the night with Abhimanyu, but by the end of the party, she discovers the truth. Rohit tries to explain, but Ananya will not listen. She says, "once a cheater, always a God dam bloody cheater" and leaves him again. She was pregnant but doesn't share the news with Rohit, as upon knowing the truth, she was broken and immediately left for Doha.
Season 3Edit
After four years, Ananya has a three-year-old son, Kabir. She still lives in Qatar. Rohit has completely destroyed his life. He is now a drunkard who is always hanging out with girls.
One day, Ananya learns that she has to sell her company in India, which she had given to Bani, and comes back to India. Bani tells Ananya it's Ananya's mistake that she was given this responsibility. She reminds Ananya that she was given the company when Ananya was going through some bad days wanted to divert her mind. However, Bani also apologizes for her mistake. Ananya decides to fix the company with Bani. Ananya meets everyone, including Rohit, who she has a fight with. She decides that she wants a divorce from him, but he is not ready to do so.
One day, Rohit comes to meet his son, but Ananya doesn't allow him to. A girl Rohit has been dating for 2–3 days wants to marry him. Rohit and Poonam's younger daughter Nikki also wants to marry a guy. Everyone is busy in preparation for the wedding. On the day of Nikki's marriage,the police comes to arrest Rohit because a woman filed a kidnapping report for her daughter (whom he was dating). Everyone tries to get him out of jail in time for the wedding, but the police is not ready to relieve him. On the day of Nikki's marriage, Rohit confesses his family that he married the girl he was dating. Everyone is shocked. Ananya feels sad and wants to leave.
Next morning the daughter's mother comes to arrest Rohit again. She tells her daughter that the couple cannot be married as since Rohit is her sister's husband. That woman is Ananya's mother, who had left Ananya in a foster home when she was a baby. Her mother gave a huge amount of money to pay for Ananya's expenses but never met her. Ananya lived her life alone without parents and siblings which is why she has been so broken. The girl, in front of everyone, accepts that Rohit helped her in this matter because he loves Ananya so much. And that she and Rohit were not married. She then leaves.
Ananya misses her flight and decides to live in India with family. She goes to meet Rohit with her son Kabir. He apologizes for everything and wants another chance, but she says "I don't want my husband back".
Finally they get divorced. After the divorce, Rohit comes to meet her. In a flashback she says "I don't want my husband back, I want the man I love, Rohit, when we had great loving memories".
