Plot
It is the story of little Avni, an illegitimate child, whose father Ashish and her mother Asha/Ayesha are not married but consider themselves as husband and wife. Despite of being unmarried, Asha applies sindoor on her forehead to avoid social problems. Asha and Ashish still have a living-together relationship, which is unknown by the rest of the world and specially Ashish's family and his mother.However, Avni gets continuously teased by others because of her father's absence. She deeply wishes for her family to become a 'normal' one but her father stays away most of the time due to her grandmother Dayavanti, who does not know that her son has another family but later comes to know about his son and Ayesha's relationship through email, because Ashish is too scared to tell this face to face. Dayavanti already gave her word to his god figure man, Hemant, that she will give her son's hand for his daughter Neela. Later somehow she convinces Ashish to get engaged with Neela as Hemant(bai) is diagnosed with brain tumour and she doesn't step back when she gives her tongue. Dayavanti also dislikes Muslims as somehow links to her past. As Ayesha is Muslim she fails to accept her as her daughter in law. Ashish wants to get married with his mother's blessing so thats why he didnt get married during those 11 years.
