Mann Kee Awaaz Pratigya (Hindi: मन की आवाज़ प्रतिज्ञा) is an Indian soap opera that airs on the channel Star Plus starting December 7, 2009. The story depicts the life of a middle-class girl, Pratigya, who fights for her self-respect against the stigma and discrimination that prevails in Indian society. The show is very popular and it currently enjoys the top position in TRP ratings.

Story

The story is based in Allahabad, where men are seen as superior to women, social rights for women are not valued as much, and education for women is not seen as important. However, the Saxena family believes in education for their daughters Pratigya and Aarushi. When Pratigya returns from college, she slaps Angad (Kunal Kapoor) for misbehaving with her. Then, Krishna sees her face and admires her beauty, and falls in love with her at first sight. He decides to marry her at any cost, even though his father, Sajjan Singh, disapproves. Later, Pratigya and her family find out that Krishna is the son of the Thakur, who is the richest and most influential man in town.

Pratigya's family realizes Krishna's obsession and arranges for her to marry a boy named Nitin, and the two complete their engagment. However, Angad severely injures Nitin and kidnaps Pratigya. Krishna is blamed for this, but, as he is a Thakur, he does not face any consequences. Later, Pratigya prepares to marry Krishna to take revenge on him for the kidnapping and for the treatment of women in his house. To ensure that the Singh family treats Pratigya well, Pratigya's brother Adarsh decides to marry Krishna's sister Komal.

During her marriage to Krishna, Pratigya takes a pledge to save her sister-in-law, Kesar. Kesar's husband beats her, and has made her have four abortions because he does not want a dark-skinned child. Pratigya decides to try to protect Kesar's unborn child, and succeeds. At the same time, Komal finds out that Adarsh used to love a girl named Roli, an old friend of Pratigya's. The couple have a big fight, but stay together. Adarsh says that he loved Roli before the wedding, but forgot her later. Komal accepts her new life, family and husband, and the finally starts to get along with all of them.

Then, the servant of the house makes Pratigya eat some old pickle, which makes her vomit. As a result, her parents-in-law believe that she is pregnant and start celebrating. Pratigya tries to tell them that she is not pregnant, but Krishna stops her because wants to see his parents happy. Pratigya's mother-in-law begins to suspect that Pratigya is not pregnant, and arranges a puja. Pratigya cannot sit in the puja and tells her in-laws the truth; however, they believe that she purposely lied to them to receive special treatment. Krishna does not defend her, instead slapping her on the cheek, and the family throws her out of the house. Pratigya, embarassed and crying, goes to her mother's house. Krishna starts to miss her and regrets his actions, and he tries to bring her back home. Pratigya's family members, however, say that Krishna's father must take Pratigya home. Krishna's father goes to the house and brings his daughter back instead. He then says that, to come back, Pratigya must apologize for her actions.

Angad then tells Pratigya's father about how he kidnapped Pratigya and attacked her fiancé. He also states that he took photographs of Pratigya naked and would distribute them if he was not given 500,000 in 5 days. Pratigya's father cannot get hold of the money, so Angad says he will marry Aarushi instead. Aarushi runs away from home, but Pratigya finds her and discovers that it was Angad and not Krishna who had kidnapped her. Pratigya confronts Angad and has him arrested, but her father tells her not to tell Krishna about the kidnapping because it would anger him and he would kill Angad.

Angad is released from prison and dies by slipping from the top of a deep, rocky ditch. Shyam Saxena believes that he murdered Angad because he could have saved him, but failed. He is sent to prison and Pratigya and Adarsh hire a lawyer, Aman Mathur, to fight the case. This causes a rift between Pratigya and Krishna, as Krishna thinks that Pratigya is going against his father. For Shyam to be released, Pratigya has to talk to Krishna about how Angad kidnapped her. He is shocked and leaves home. Pratigya decides to find him, but a snake bites her. Krishna finds her, removes the venom from her body, and decides to return home. While returning home, Krishna faints and Pratigya discovers that his body is full of poison. He is taken to a doctor, who tells Pratigya that he is in critical condition. Pratigya asks Krishna to wake up, and his vitals rise as she talks to him.

Later, Aman Mathur, the lawyer who helped Shyam leave prison, says that he wants Aarushi's hand in marriage. Then, Adarsh is hit by a car and is admitted to the hospital in critical condition, but recovers and returns home. The family tries to find out who the driver was, and discover that it was Aman's younger brother, Jai. At the same time, the family believes that Komal, Adarsh's wife, is pregnant, but she is not; however, only Adarsh and Komal know the truth.

Then, Pratigya and Krishna talk to Aman's real wife and tell her about Aman's plan to marry Aarushi. Aman's wife plans to come to the wedding and reveal Aman's deception. After Arushi's marriage got broken, she felt shocked. She was stubberned to get married that day and selected Shakti Singh for marriage even though he was married to Kesar. Against the family protest, she got married to Shakti and walked into Singh family. While both reach the home, Amma didn't like this and refused to welcome new bride. SS asked Kesar to welcome bride. Kesar broke down as she saw Shakti and Arushi going in her bedroom.
