Plot
[edit]Set in the beautiful hill town of Simla, Chand Chupa Badal Mein narrates the tale of a middle-class girl Nivedita Sharma a.k.a. Nivi, a.k.a. Putul. She is kind, sweet, responsible, but also nervous and reserved. She lost her mother when she was a little girl. Since then, she has been living with her grandmother, father and younger brother.
Nivedita meets her childhood friend Siddharth Sood after many years, and the two fall in love with each other. But on discovering that her cousin Divya also loves Siddharth, Nivi unhesitatingly sacrifices her love by pretending that she is indifferent to him. Under pressure from his family and hurt by Nivi's rejection, Siddharth marries Divya. And Nivi marries Siddharth's cousin Viren.
Later, it is revealed that Viren married Nivi to take revenge against Siddharth and his family. However, gradually both Nivi and Viren start caring for each other. When Nivi discovers Viren's real intentions, she transforms him and brings him closer to his family. Their lives take many more twists and turn from there. The shy Nivi blossoms into a confident woman with the help of Viren, meeting challenges with unshakable optimism.
