The other sister on whom she was pinning her hopes has her own plans too. She, against her parents wishes wants to become an actress and leaves the house. The youngest sibling is handicapped and she herself is a dependant.

Seeing the circumstances in her house, Aastha decides not to get married. But fate seems to have another plan. The owner of the hotel, her boss, Shubh Ranawat falls madly in love with her and comes straight to her father with a proposal. Her father is overwhelmed with this 'rishta', and besides that Shubh promises Aastha that he will allow her to look after her parents, as they will be his parents too. Based on this assurance and Shubh’s genuine love for her, she agrees to marry him. As she becomes the mistress of the five star and a huge palatial bungalow, a barrage of problems befall her. Her own family just falls apart and she wants to be with them and support them and on the other hand her sasural, where she has to play the duty of a bahu is very demanding. The act of balancing between the two and the conflict between her duties as a bahu and beti form the crux of the show.
