The day after his marriage to his childhood love, Khanak, Suraj goes to the factory to fix up a machine for the inauguration. Shantanu’s recklessness causes Suraj to get electrocuted and seriously injured. Suraj dies in pain, leaving behind a shocked Shantanu and a grieving Khanak.
Shantanu’s father offers a huge compensation to the bereaved family, and Suraj’s brother Mangal, blinded by greed, accepts this offer. Khanak, however, refuses the compensation and demands justice instead. At the Panchayat meeting, Shantanu shocks everyone by saying that Khanak should take the compensation offered and move on with her life. The appalled sarpanch announces the judgment – since Shantanu has destroyed Khanak’s life, he would find a groom for her.
As a solution and atonement – Shantanu get on to search for the perfect groom and meets with a number of hurdles. He comes to face with the stigma attached to being a widow. Finally, he succeeds in luring a man working in a grocery store called Mulji with a fat sum of Rs. 20 lakhs. Khanak voices her resentment and refuses to re-marry. She says that she doesn’t want anything but justice. However, Suraj’s family and the Panchayat approve of the groom that Shantanu has found for Khanak and marriage preparations begin.
But Natasha’s father Mr Agarwal who was not in favour with her relation with Shantanu plans to trap him in the village and bribes mulji the groom Shantanu brought for Khanak. Mulji runs away with the money and to save his life from the furious villagers, Shantanu marries Khanak. Khanak even agreed to the marriage knowing that she is a burden for her husband’s family. She moves to Shantanus house where Natashas father blackmails her.
At first Shantanu really hates Khanak because of a series of events (Khanak accidentally washed his laptop with water, Natasha got jealous of Khanak as everyone was praising her and Shaan’s relationship, etc) but one night it all changes. Shantanu wants to make it up to Natasha after they have a fight and writes her a note telling her to meet him in the drawing room at night,(while everyone else is at the farmhouse). But the servant who was to deliver the note to Natasha, accidentally gave it to Khanak.
