Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin ("There is no one like Jassi") was a popular show on Sony Entertainment Television. The series was an Indian-themed version of the Colombian telenovela Yo Soy Betty La Fea.

Plot

The story of this serial is based on character and protagonist, Jasmeet "Jassi" Walia, who is an unattractive bespectacled nerd with braces over her teeth and an odd style of dressing. She is also an unattractive, somewhat naive, but intelligent woman. She is constantly mocked by her more beautiful female (and sometimes male) colleagues, while being in love with her boss, Armaan Suri.

The show chronicles her in her workplace and how she wins the hearts of her colleagues and her boss, mainly due to her warm and humorous nature, and is plotted against by her superior Mallika, who feels insecure about her post. Jassi eventually is proposed to by Purav, and says yes even though she loves Armaan (Apoorva Agnihotri). Later Purav's friend comes and she tells Purav that how can he marry Jassi, but he goes away. Jassi hates Purav now. Later, Jassi finds out what horrible stuff Armaan is doing and she leaves. She runs away to Mauritius because of some disgrace she has brought to the family. There she meets Purav. She then gets a total makeover and later they become friends.

She comes back to India as Jessica Bedi. She starts a company and wins over Gulmhor. Nandu, her best friend, doesn't know she's back, but she tells him later.

Later, Armaan and Jassi are going to get married. but before that, she goes to Malaysia because Purav has cancer. After he dies, she returns, depressed. Purav's friend, C.J., vows to take revenge, as he blames Jassi for Purav's friend. He brings her to Nanital for a meeting. Armaan, arriving later, sees C.J. and Jassi together, in the same room (Jassi is unconscious) that C.J. was planning to use.

Armaan suspects Jassi. Jassi and Armaan have a fight, and in anger she goes to Nanital on the day of the wedding. Jassi doesn't come back. C.J. then writes a fake letter stating they have eloped and are getting married. In anger Armaan marries Malika because Jassi is not there. Jassi thinks badly of Armaan, because C.J. has told her that Armaan has married Malika. Jassi does not know the truth about C.J. until later.

Jassi stays in Nanital under the name of Neha Shastri. There she meets Raghuv, a guitar player. He begins to like her. His father wants him to be married, and he is also sick, so they pretend that they are married. Armaan, however, thinks that they are really married. The story continues ...
