Set in Mathura and Gangapur, Mishri Sharma is considered a lucky charm by her village. After her father dies, she is raised by her abusive aunt Bela and Bela’s brother, Shakti. They actively exploit her reputation is exploited for personal gains while actively sabotaging her dreams of higher education. Mishri’s grandmother decides to arrange her marriage to a respectable city man to save her from their grasp.

In Mathura, Raghav Dwivedi is a wealthy, devoted family man who is secretly targeted by his greedy aunt, Chitra, for control of the family business. Raghav is deeply in love with Vaani Tripathi, a career-driven fashion designer. However, their desire to marry gets complicated by a bitter, years long feud between their mothers, Parvati and Kalpana.

Mishri’s grandmother intervenes, when she finds out that Bela and Shakti are plotting to retain control of Mishri’s property by tricking her into marrying Shakti. Through a series of misunderstandings, Bela makes Mishri believe that she engaged to Raghav. Raghav’s family reluctantly agrees to let him marry Vaani to end their long standing feud. On the day of the weddings, circumstances force Raghav to travel to Gangapur. Raghav steps in and marries Mishri himself and saves Mishri from stepping into a forced marriage alliance with Shakti and also from an impending attack by Chitra’s goons.

After the ceremony, Raghav clarifies that he cannot accept Mishri as his wife because he loves someone else. Mishri moves to Mathura and coincidentally finds shelter with Vaani, who views her as a younger sister. Unaware of the marriage, Vaani introduces Mishri to her fiancé, Raghav.

Manmohan Tiwari gained weight to fit in his role. He said, “To prepare for the negative lead in this show, Tiwari underwent a physical transformation for the role, which included gaining weight and dyeing his hair to appear older.
