Plot
Prelude
The prelude is set in 1996 in Azadganj village where wealthy landlord Kamal Narayan uses the villagers as bonded labourers. Couple Bhuvan Lal Singh and Kasturi face financial difficulty; as collateral for a loan, they agree to let Kamal use their first child as a servant when she becomes eight years old.
8 years later
Chakor is an aspiring marathon runner, with a younger sister named Imli. While she goes to Kamal's haveli (mansion) to serve and becomes friends with his nephew Vivaan, she also speaks for the villagers' rights against the landlord.
It is revealed that Chakor has a twin sister Chunni who was secretly raised in Mumbai. Kamal's hateful son Suraj kills Chunni, and Chakor vows revenge.
Chakor's marathon coach elopes with Kamal's daughter, and Chakor escapes with them to pursue her dreams. She vows to return to the village after ten years. In revenge for the betrayal, Kamal has Chakor's grandmother buried alive.
10 years later
Chakor returns after becoming a marathon runner, but Imli hates her for leaving and Vivaan also holds a grudge. Chakor learns the truth of her grandmother's death and has Kamal arrested, though he is later released. Vivaan is angered when his widowed mother Ranjana marries Kamal, and cuts ties with his mother when he learns that she murdered his father. Vivaan rebuilds his bond with Chakor and they fall in love.
Suraj's marriage is arranged to a marathon runner, with a double ceremony planned for them and Vivaan and Chakor. Imli reveals that she is pregnant by Suraj and they explain to his bride-to-be who agrees to conspire to switch places at the ceremony. However, Suraj shows his cruelty by switching the sisters so that Imli is married to Vivaan while Chakor is married to Suraj. Chakor is initially blamed, and mistreated by Suraj. Vivaan and Imli develop feelings and consummate their marriage, but she suffers a miscarriage in a fall. Chakor and Suraj slowly recognize the good side of each other and accept their marriage.
Suraj is made a labourer by his father, but is rescued by Chakor and their marriage improves. On their first anniversary, Suraj expresses his love for Chakor and they decide to start a new life. Meanwhile, Vivaan suspects that pregnant Imli is having an affair with Suraj, but Vivaan's doctor lied about his being sterile for Kamal's mischief-causing daughter Ragini. Chakor divorces Suraj, but the truth later comes out and Ragini escapes, allowing the couples to reunite.
Imli conceals a miscarriage from Vivaan, causing a rift when he learns the truth. She gives him a sleeping injection and he falls into a coma. Imli suspects Chakor of betraying her to Vivaan, and conspires with Kamal to have her sister stabbed and thrown into a river.
1 month later
Chakor was saved from the river by a priest at Varansi and recovered in his house, where she learns that she is pregnant. Imli led Suraj to believe that Chakor left him. When contacted, Imli discourages Chakor from returning by saying that Suraj wants to kill her. Chakor is sheltered by Inspector Ranvijay, and later meets and reconciles with Suraj. However, Ranvijay realizes that Suraj is the son of Kamal, who killed his father, and seeks revenge by kidnapping Suraj. Ranvijay tries to forcefully marry Chakor but is arrested.
The couple return to their home village. Imli says that she lied to save them from Kamal, and is forgiven. Kamal kidnaps Chakor and she suffers a miscarriage. Chakor kills Kamal to avenge the deaths in her family, freeing the villagers from debt, and is jailed for five years.
5 years later
Chakor returns to the village. Ranvijay and Imli are married and conspired to take over the mansion, keeping an amnesiac Suraj as their servant. Imli mistreats the villagers keeping Suraj's mom Tejaswini locked in a secret room. Vivaan is still in coma. Suraj regains his memories and reunites with Chakor; they free Tejaswini. Imli kills Ranvijay and escapes. The village is freed again.
2 years later
Chakor and Suraj operate a business with tycoon Karan. Imli returns and joins with Karan to destroy Chakor. However, Karan dies in an accident and Imli is arrested when Vivaan awakens from his coma. Imli is later released. Her gun dealer tries to kill Suraj; when Vivaan gets in the way, Chakor accidentally shoots him to death. Imli swears revenge for Vivaan's death; she kidnaps Chakor and Suraj's daughter Saanvi and fakes the young girl's death. Suraj blames Chakor and severs ties with her. Chakor and her parents leave the village, while Imli makes Saanvi a labourer.
7 years later
Saanvi has been raised under the name Anjor by labourer couple Sugna and Kesho. Chakor returns to the village for work and rescues Saanvi from goons; they become friends, unaware of their kinship. Suraj visits for business and also forms a bond witih Saanvi. Chakor learns that their daughter is alive and tells Suraj, but he is furious and refuses to believe her. Imli blackmails Saanvi to have Chakor arrested on false charges. Chakor discovers this and Imli reveals Saanvi's identity. The family is reunited and Imli is arrested.
1 year later
Children disappear from the village, and it is revealed that politician Rajeshwari Singh and her son Vikram have been poisoning their injections. Chakor and Suraj banish them, but Vikram sets a bomb that kills Suraj. Chakor is devastated but, rather than telling Saanvi, pays look-alike Raghav Khanna to take his place.
The family of Tejaswini's brother come to live at the mansion following his death. The son-in-law, Akash, is a younger son of Rajeshwari, and vows revenge. Raghav falls in love with Chakor, who realizes Akash's identity while Imli learns Raghav's identity. Saanvi comes to realize that Raghav is not who he claims to be and that her father is dead.
