Plot
Meher Kaur Dhillion is the daughter of Kulwant Kaur, the village sarpanch. She is a bubbly, carefree and happy go lucky girl.
Meher falls in love with Manav and becomes pregnant with his child. Kulwant, being a greedy woman, refuses to accept Manav as he is financially unstable. She kills Manav and asks Meher to marry Sarabjit Singh Gill, a widower with a five year old kid Param. Meher refuses to marry Sarabjit at first but later agrees to save her unborn child from her mother's ill intentions.
