[edit] Plot

Season 1

Kasamh Se is the story of three young women who are sisters, but very different from each other in nature. Bani (Prachi Desai) is the eldest, mature and responsible. Pia (Roshni Chopra) is the middle child, modern and glamorous. Rano (Arunima Sharma) is the youngest, studious and intelligent. After their father's death, the sisters go to Mumbai to live with the family of middle-aged, wealthy business tycoon, Jai Walia (Ram Kapoor). Bani falls in love with Jai's young protege, Pushkar (Naman Shaw). But Pushkar and Pia love each other, so Bani sacrifices her love for the sake of her sister. Jai falls in love with Pia and proposes to her. She agrees to marry him for his wealth. However, moments before the wedding, Pia elopes with Pushkar. Jai's domineering sister Jigyasa (Ashwini Kalsekar) doesn't want the Walia family to be humiliated. So, she forces Bani to take Pia's place as the bride. Jai ends up marrying Bani. Their relationship gets off to a rocky start but, with time, they become friends. Jigyasa's unmarried daughter, Anu, has a boyfriend named Rohit and she is expecting his child. Bani tries to arrange their marriage. But Rohit's father has a condition : his son will marry Anu, only if Jigyasa's younger son Sahil marries Rohit's elder sister Rashi at the same time. The Walia family accepts this proposal. Unknown to everyone, Rano and Sahil love each other. Sahil gets engaged to Rashi, but he and Rano are unable to forget their mutual love. They elope and get married. Sahil's elder brother Ranbir then agrees to marry Rashi. Everybody is happy about this. In the meantime, Bani and Jai are attracted to each other and consummate their relationship.

Later, a dark secret comes out - it is revealed that, 7 years ago, Bani's mother was killed in a road accident by Jai. He is filled with remorse. Bani, who is expecting Jai's child, leaves the Walia mansion. However, in time, she realizes how much she loves her husband. Then, she learns that Jigyasa and Ranbir want to take over Jai's properties. To protect Jai, Bani asks him for a divorce and a large share of his wealth. Meanwhile, Pia, who has broken off with Pushkar, gets interested in Jai. When Jai goes on a business trip to Dubai, Pia accompanies him. She drugs him and they have a one-night-stand, leaving Jai shaken up. The problem regarding the Walia properties is sorted out and Bani no longer needs to press for a divorce. Meanwhile, she discovers that her mother had not been killed by Jai, but had committed suicide. Unfortunately, Bani is attacked by a mysterious stranger and loses her unborn child. When Jai returns, Bani asks for forgiveness and confesses her love to him. Jai becomes ecstatic and re-unites with her. Pia tries to convince Bani that Jai is having a extra-marital affair. On Bani's first wedding anniversary, while the celebrations are at full swing, it is revealed that Pia is expecting Jai's child. Jai does not know what to do. Bani is also expecting a child. She comes to know of Jai's one night stand. She goes into a state of shock. When she comes to her senses, she forgives not only Jai but also Pia. Ranbir starts caring for Rashi, whom he had initially disliked. But she leaves him and goes away because she has a serious illness. Pia , meanwhile, is planning revenge against Bani.

Rano's husband Sahil gets killed in mysterious circumstances. The family members then get Rano (who has just given birth to a baby boy) married to Ranbir. Bani decides to investigate the death of Sahil. Then, Pia gives birth to a baby boy whom she names Veer. Later it is revealed that it was Pia who got Sahil killed. Pia has framed Bani for the murder by showing some fake footage in which Sahil is saying that Bani wants to kill him. Pia blackmails Jai, saying he can choose between Bani getting 5 years in mental asylum or life imprisonment. Jai realizes that 5 years are better than a life sentence. Helpless, he testifies in court that Bani is insane, thus sending her to mental asylum. In the asylum, Bani delivers twin babies, but Jai takes them away. Later, Bani runs away from the asylum and secretly arrives at the Walia mansion. Jai is forced to call the police and they get after Bani. In an attempt to save herself, Bani enters a place where a wild fire has broken out. She is trapped in the fire and everybody then assumes she has burnt to death. Jai is shocked and falls into depression. In this depressed state, he gets married to the evil Pia. However, Bani is saved by a handsome stranger named Aparajit Deb (Ronit Roy). He gives her shelter in his house.

Now five years pass by and many changes take place in the Walia house. Jai has become unfeeling after losing his love. Pia and Jigyasa frequent parties, nightclubs, discos and cinemas. In short, they enjoy life to the fullest. Pia does not take care of her son Veer or Bani's children. Rano hates Pia for what she has done. Ranbir has turned over a new leaf and is now in love with Rano. Bani harbors a deep hatred and anger for the Walia family for what they did to her. Jai and Bani's kids - Atharva and Krishna - are now 5-year-olds. Deb knows everything about Bani and transforms her into a strong, confident woman hellbent on getting revenge. Bani changes her name to Durga and lives with Deb's family. Deb is an equally angry and vengeful man, who has lost the love of his life, Pallavi, and believes Jai is responsible for this. He teaches Durga how to take proper revenge against Jai. One day, Jai sees Durga and instantly knows she is Bani. He runs after her and succeeds in holding her. Just then, a bomb blast occurs in which Jai is badly injured. Bani takes him to the hospital and there the Walia family sees her. Pia chases Bani to the Deb house. But Bani throws her sister out, saying that she is Durga. Pia joins hands with Jigyasa to ruin Bani a.k.a Durga. She tells the police to arrest Bani, who is charged with Sahil's murder and ought to be in jail. But, this attempt fails and Durga a.k.a. Bani hates the Walia family even more.

Bani regularly visits her children in school and Jai is ecstatic when he sees her. This happiness is quickly crushed when Durga destroys the Walia business. She feels unhappy, however, to see Jai in a helpless state and realizes that she still loves him. Aparajit Deb falls in love with Durga. Now caught in a love triangle, Durga reverts to her old self Bani, when she learns that whatever Jai did was only to save her. Jai then explains that he was not responsible for what happened to Pallavi and Aparajit leaves, satisfied. Bani throws Pia out of the house. Pia meets with an accident owing to which she becomes paralyzed. Bani and Rano decides to help their sister. Just when everything seems alright, Jai finds that he has lost all his property and wealth. To save Jai from ruin, Bani goes to her hometown to arrange for money by getting her house demolished. Later, Rashi gets cured and returns home. Ranbir does not know what to do. He decides to kill Rashi so that he can live peacefully with Rano. But, Bani arrives in time to save Rashi; Ranbir is sent to jail. Jigyasa swears to take revenge on Bani.

Bani meets Daksh, a mentally unstable young man. He mysteriously calms down whenever he sees Bani and has deep affection for her. Bani finds out this is because she had an identical twin sister named Anamika. When they were born, her mother gave Anamika to a childless friend. Daksh and Anamika were in love but she died and since then, he has been mentally unstable. Bani helps Daksh get better and they become good friends. Then, Bani's twin children are kidnapped and murdered. Bani is thrown out of the house after a misunderstanding caused by Jigyasa, who convinces Jai that Bani has an affair with Daksh. Jai's aunt Billo Maasi sides with Bani and decides to leave the house with her. Bani, who is miserable, decides to kill herself but Maasi and Daksh save her, and it is found that she is expecting a child. Now, Bani decides to live for the sake of her baby daughter Ganga. At the Walia mansion, Jai gets married to his office secretary Meera but does not love her, because he feels his capacity for trust has been destroyed.

Another 5 years later (December 2007)

Bani changes her name to Maithili and lives with Ganga in a small town. Five years later, they return to Mumbai. Bani and Jai come face-to-face again and he insults her. Owing to debts and financial problems, Bani takes up a job as a waitress in a restaurant. Jai often meets her there and always insults her. One day, he bribes the manager to get her sacked from the job. Bani becomes worried as money is short and she has no job. Meanwhile, Ganga befriends Rashi's daughter Vidya, and starts visiting the Walia family. Meera also has motherly feeling for Ganga. Meera becomes friends with Bani and helps her with money (Bani does not know that Meera is Jai's wife). One day, while playing, Ganga badly hurts herself and needs to be hospitalized. But the hospital staff refuses to admit her without a cash deposit. Bani helplessly goes to Jai's office and begs him for money. Jai humiliates Bani but gives her the money. Later Jai finds out that Ganga is his daughter. Then, it is found that Ganga has cancer, which can only be cured by transplanting bone marrow from her biological brother or sister. Jai and Bani have to re-unite to cure Ganga. Bani returns to the Walia mansion, and gradually, Jai again starts to love her. When he learns that Bani never had an affair with Daksh, he begs her forgiveness and confesses his love to her. But, Bani flatly rejects his proposal and leaves after spending one night with him. Bani then finds Pia, paralyzed and in a wheelchair, and it's revealed that Pia knows who had killed Atharva and Krishna. Daksh also finds out the identity of the killer but, before he can reveal anything, he is murdered. Bani gives birth to twins, again, and names them Atharva and Krishna after her first two children. Soon, to her horror, she finds out that the killer of her children was Meera. Five years ago, Meera had got the Walia twins murdered because she wanted to separate Bani from Jai, whom she wanted to marry. Now, there is a showdown between Bani and Meera. Meera beats Bani's head against the rocks and sets her on fire. Bani falls off a cliff into the water below. Her newborn son Atharva, whom Meera had taken, gets lost in the woods. Bani is assumed to be dead, which completely shatters Jai.

Season 2 (April 2008)

However, Bani has survived the ordeal. She is found and taken to the hospital. She has been badly burned; so she gets a new appearance after plastic surgery. Bani awakens with a new face (Gurdeep Kohli) and finds that she has lost all her memory and doesn't remember who she is. The elderly man who saved her adopts her as his daughter and names her Pronita. She repeatedly sketches portraits of her old face but doesn't recognize it as hers, since she doesn't remember the past. She also has frequent, though confusing, flashbacks to Meera's attack on her.

16 years later

Sixteen years later, Jai and Bani's children are all grown up. The Walia family still misses Bani. Pronita goes to the place where she was set afire by Meera. There, she meets Jai Walia, though he doesn't recognize her because of her changed appearance. Pronita is invited to the Walia household, where they are having a party to honor Bani. For the first time in 16 years, Pronita sees Meera. All her flashbacks become clear. Her memory returns and she remembers everything. Shocked and devastated, Pronita vows revenge on Meera.

At first Pronita mentally tortures Meera. But Meera soon figures out that Pronita is Bani herself. She attempts to kill Pronita the same way she did 16 years ago. They meet at the same place. Just when Meera is about to kill Pronita, Jigyasa appears and saves Pronita. The police appears with Jai to take Meera away.It is later revealed that Jigyasa had saved Bani after she was burned and raised money for her plastic surgery so she would be safe from Meera. Shocked and overjoyed at realizing that Pronita is Bani, Jay happily reunites with her after 16 years. Pia and Rano arrive as well. As the entire Walia family celebrates, the actress who originally played Bani (Prachi Desai) also makes a special appearance, and all ends well on Kasamh Se.
