Set in Rajasthan, Do Saheliyaan focuses on unaccepted friendship between a daughter of a Rajput, Maithili (Sulagna Panigrahi) and a poor Rabari villager Bhawri (Ankita Srivastava). Even though the girls are best friends, they can't be together since Maithali is a Rajput and Bhavri is a Rabari.

Bhavri's mom can sense that Maithilis life is in danger and runs into the massacre as well. As Maithili's brother is about to accidentally strike a massive blow on Maithili, Bhavri's mom jumps on Maithili and gets hit herself. This results in the death of Bhavri's mom, and the separation of Bhavri's uncle and Maithili's aunt.

She vows to take revenge on the Rajputs for the death of her sister. Bhavri's aunt then marries Bhavri's dad thus making her Bhavri's stepmother. The two friends grow up and eventually unite there aunt and uncle.

Kalindi goes to Shaurya's border camp and switches Maithili's photograph with Bhavri's, hoping that Shaurya and his family would believe that Maithili's family were trying to deceive him somehow. Shaurya sees Bhavri's picture and falls in love instantly. Bhavri's marriage is more difficult to arrange as Maithili's grandmother spread rumors about her throughout the village. It is the talented and educated boy Aanadi who stands up for Bhavri after observing her from afar and agrees to marry her. The girls have not seen the men whom they will wed, though Maithili has met Aanadi. Maithili and Bhavri's weddings are on the same day and Maithili wants her friend to wear the same garments as her.
