[edit] Plot

This story is based on the life of a Rajasthani girl named Akshara, who is the daughter of the Maheshwari family, living in Udaipur. She spent her childhood under the care of her parents, named Vishambhar Nath and Rajshri. Her grandmother always advises her about the future and loves her granddaughter more than her own son. Akshara has a childhood friend, Varsha, who always supports and stands by Akshara. Varsha falls in love with Akshara's brother, Shaurya. Akshara understands their love and makes her parents agree to Varsha and Shaurya's marriage. A marriage proposal comes for Akshara but owing to some misunderstandings the boy rejects her. She is very sad because they reject her thinking that she wants to became a singer; so Rajshri gets a promise from Akshara never to sing again. Varsha and Shaurya have some misunderstandings and Akshara solves all their problems.

After some days, Shankari came to Maheshwari house very happily, bringing a new proposal for Akshara. On the day of holi (Hindus' Festival in which they play with colours) the Singhania family came to Maheshwari house to see Akshara. The Singhania family includes the patriarch Dadda Ji, his younger brother Rajshekhar, Dadda Ji's wife Bhabhi Maa and Rajshekhar's wife Gayatri. They bring a proposal for Akshara's marriage with Naitik, Gayatri and Rajshekhar's son. Naitik wants to talk with Akshara alone. During their talk Akshara, being nervous of another rejection, does not answer any question Naitik asks. Naitik asks Bhabhi maa for permission to meet Akshara one more time before taking any decision. As Bhabhi maa loves Naitik very much, she gives him permission to meet Akshara.The very next day,they go to Akshara's house. This time Akshara answers all of Naitik's questions and they end up fighting on the issue of their favourite Hero and Heroine. However, along with the fight blossoms love and they agree to the marriage.

Rituraj, who had initially decided to marry Akshara, turns out to be Naitik's cousin. Naitik and Rituraj hate each other and, getting the full benefit of the opportunity Rituraj tells Naitik everything: how Akshara had first chosen him and that he had rejected her. This makes Naitik furious and upset that Akshara did not tell the truth. Though Akshara has written a letter stating what had happened and how much she loved Naitik, the letter only reaches him 2 Days after the wedding. During the Mehendi ceremony and on their first night Naitik taunts Akshara about the past and she gets very upset. After reading the letter two days later, Naitik understands and apologises to Akshara, beginning their new life together.

Akshara finds it difficult to bridge the difference between the situations she faced before marriage in the Maheswari house and after marriage in the Singhanias' home. She is faced with many different problems and difficult situations which gets resolved. With the passage of time, Akshara starts to follow all the Singhania family's rules. After some time, Nandini (Daddaji's daughter and Naitik's cousin) falls in love with Naitik's childhood friend, Mohit. Akshara understands their love and tries to make it a success. She tries to explain the situation to Naitik but does not succeed. Naitik witnesses Nandini and Mohit's meeting and learns the fact that Akshara was helping them all along. He tells this to his family members who get upset with Akshara. Naitik asks Akshara to leave the house and she does so on 15 January 2010.

After two months and many hard times, on Holi, Naitik and Akshara resolve their problems and express their love after being drunk. Akshara goes back to her in-laws' place and Nandini and Mohit's wedding takes place. During Nandini's wedding, DaddaJi orders Akshara to not cover her head with the pallu. On the same day, Gayatri misunderstands that Akshara and Naitik wants to live separately. Akshara then explains to Gayatri and clears her misconception. Varsha gets Pregnant. Naitik thinks that Akshara is not giving him enough time. To make Akshara spend time with him, he makes it seem that he loves Sneha (a designer in Singhanias' Company).Akshara is upset and Sneha, unaware that Naitik is married, falls for him. When she gets to know the truth, she resigns her job and Akshara is upset. On Diwali,they solve their problems.

Varsha gave birth to a baby girl who is named Ananya. Akshara now discovers that she is pregnant. She tells Varsha about her pregnancy and recalls how Naitik had told her that he was not ready for a baby. Varsha advises her to tell Naitik and she discloses the secret on his birthday. Naitik is very happy on hearing that good news. Owing to an unfortunate event, Akshara has a miscarriage.

Naitik teaches Akshara to drive and on one instance they break the car number plate. When DaddaJi investigates, Naitik and Akshara lie. DaddaJi finds out the truth and separates the house into two where no one in the family is to keep in touch with Naitik or Akshara. One day DaddaJi gets a heart attack when there is no one at home and Akshara drives him to the hospital. She takes care of Bhaabi maa and Gayatri in the hospital. DaddaJi understands his mistake and the family unites. Shankari brings a marriage proposal for Rashmi (Naitik's younger sister) and everyone agrees with it. After a series of misunderstandings and events, Naitik fractures his leg. He is unable to do much work and, as a result,and feels that Akshara wants the credit for doing all the work for Rashmi's wedding. He opposes Akshara in everything and arranges for a wedding planner against her wishes. The men sent by the wedding planner steal the Singhanias' belongings and jewels but get caught. Naitik understands his mistake and apologises to Akshara and they are united once again. Rashmi's wedding goes off well.

Akshara gets pregnant again. Though she is worried after what happened the last time around, Naitik reassures her. Six months later, Akshara feels that Naitik is neglecting her since she got pregnant, and confronts him. He discloses that the Singhanias are facing a business loss so that they have to give up their house. The Singhanias pack up and leave the house sadly. However, the Maheswaries arrive on time and request the Singhanias to stay in their house instead of a lodge. DaddaJi accepts the offer. They celebrate Ananya's first birthday. Naitik successfully finds a new rented house and the Singhanias move there. They face many difficulties adjusting to the house. But they overcome the problems. Later on, a fraud pundit tells Gayatri and Bhabhima that Akshara will face many problems in her pregnancy and they need to do a special puja to get rid of this. They believe him. But Akshara smells foul in this and successfully with the help of Varsha exposes the pundit. After a period of unhappiness, there is happiness in the Singhania family as they get their house back. The much awaited moment comes when Akshara gives birth to a baby boy. With the birth of the baby, the two families go on a joyous ride fighting over who gets to hold the baby first. The proud parents Akshara and Naitik hold their son. Turn wise holding the baby in their hands, the family members become nostalgic about Akshara and Naitik's childhood. Meanwhile, the nurse takes the baby away for check up. Rajshri stays with Naitik and Akshara in the hospital.

Naitik takes the wrong baby from the nursery and gets caught by the police. Rajshree clears up the misunderstanding and points him to the right baby. Naitik tells Akshara that he could not identify his own son. Their families, relatives, neighbours and servants visit the baby at the hospital with gifts. Omkarnath teaches Anshu to cradle the baby in his arms. The doctor discharges Akshara and the baby from the hospital.

[edit] Characters

Akshara Singhania

Akshara

Naitik Singhania

Naitik Singhania

Gayatri proved to be a good wife and an understanding partner to him.

Gayatri
Gayatri came as the second bahu of the house. Though a positive soul at heart and a good human being, she soon faced an identity crisis as a woman when she saw that everything in the house was centred around Bhabhi Maa. She also realised that the only way to get a little ahead of Bhabhi Maa in this house is to gain brownie points from Mahendra Pratap. God dropped this opportunity in her lap as she was blessed with a son, an heir, for whom Mahendra Pratap was pining. Hence Gayatri got more importance simply by being the mother of a son, something that Bhabhi Maa could never be!

Rashmi
Rashmi is Naitik's younger sister. She is a typical dreamy eyed teenager who lives and breathes Yash Chopra movies. Everything in her life is filmy, all the situations are melodramatic.
