Ragini Juneja Rags is a teenager and the daughter of the Bollywood Megastar,"Sushmita Juneja". At her new college, Redfield Academy, she meets Zenia Khan, Zeeshan Khan aka Zee, who is also Zenia's twin brother, Vir Mehra, and Ritu Shah aka BBB- "Bin Badal Barsat" : a gang of inseparable childhood friends. She doesn't want anyone to know that she is the daughter of a famous actress and wants to make friends on her own not for who her parents are, so she lies and says that her mom is a kindergarten teacher. Her friends eventually find out about all her secrets, and while initially angry with her they eventually forgive her. Afterwards, the series is elongated, exaggerated and made more fun with many episodes involving the comical lives of the 5 friends. At last, the college, Redfield Academy, is told to shut down because its manager told that he's going to give it some other person, so sadly, they would all have to move to a different college. This makes all of them, and the viewers too, feel sad. But afterwards, the whole college, all join together to stop the college from shutting down by organizing a campaign, and finally, Ragini and Vir falls in love with each other, and Zenia and Zee fall in love with Jango and Kimi respectively.
