Plot
[edit]Jasmine and Tejo Sandhu are sisters from Moga. While Jasmine dreams of settling in Canada, Tejo wants to remain in Punjab. Fateh Singh Virk is a boxer who is in love with Jasmine. They pursue a relationship but Jasmine refuses to marry Fateh when she learns that he has lost his job. Tejo and Fateh marry to save the family's reputation. Fateh does not want to move on and continues to romance Jasmine.
Tejo is heartbroken when she discovers the truth. When Fateh and Tejo start falling for each other, Jasmine plots against them. She marries Fateh's brother, Amrik, by mistake. However, due to Amrik's love and care for her, Jasmine also falls for him. Tejo's former fiancé, Angad, sets Tejo on fire and everyone presumes her to be dead.
During their trip to London, Jasmine and Amrik meet Tejo's lookalike, Tanya, who is assigned to investigate Tejo's murder. Amrik dies while saving Tanya from Angad, who is later jailed for his crimes. Jasmine is revealed to be pregnant. Tanya finds Tejo and reunites her with Fateh. Jasmine miscarries but leaves an orphan at the hospital, claiming it to be her and Amrik's child. Tejo and Fateh learn the truth but raise the girl, naming her Nehmat. Jasmine moves to Canada and marries Yash.
Jasmine returns to India with her daughter Naaz after suffering domestic violence at the hands of Yash and his mother. Nehmat learns she is adopted, but believes that she is Jasmine and Amrik's daughter. Jasmine leaves Naaz with the Sandhus. Nehmat and Naaz bond with one another. Tejo, Fateh and the Virks die in a car accident.
Nehmat and Naaz are raised by the Sandhus. Nehmat is in love with Ekam, a trainee IPS officer. Meanwhile, Naaz suffers from an inferiority complex due to all the attention Nehmat receives. Naaz pressures Nehmat to marry Advait Kapoor so she can marry his younger brother, Nikhil Kapoor. Jasmine returns and it is revealed that Jasmine and Advait's father were behind the accident that killed Tejo, Fateh and the Virks. Nehmat's marriage to Advait is nullified as Jasmine's daughter, Harleen, is revealed to be Advait's legal wife. Advait tries to kill Harleen but is jailed. Harleen falls for Ekam. Ekam and Nehmat decide to marry but she backs out after being blackmailed by Jasmine. Ekam and Harleen then marry.
Nehmat realises that she is pregnant with Ekam's child. She gives birth to a daughter, but Harleen kidnaps her. Nehmat is told that her child was born dead while Harleen and Ekam name the child Aliya.
Aliya meets Nehmat at a summer camp and they bond. Eventually, Ekam and Nehmat discover the truth and confront Harleen. Jasmine and Harleen decide to plot an accident in which Harleen is presumed to be dead. Nehmat finds evidence against Jasmine and has her jailed.
Ekam forcefully marries Nehmat but Harleen returns and plots against the two. Nehmat and Ekam deport her back to Canada after finding out the truth. On seeing this, Aliya begins to hate Nehmat and Ekam. Harleen is revealed to be pregnant with Ekam's child through IVF.
A grown up Aliya wants to go to Canada to meet Harleen. She is in love with Armaan. Harleen is now married to Deepak Dhillon and her daughter with Ekam, Aasma, returns to India. She keeps meeting Armaan and their marriage is fixed. The two marry unwillingly. Aliya grows jealous and vengeful. Aasma and Armaan start to fall for each other but the former discovers his relationship with Aliya. Aasma is hurt but agrees to divorce Armaan. Armaan ends his relationship with Aliya and reveals his feelings for Aasma. Aliya marries Raja but continues to plot.
Aliya tries to murder Aasma but Aasma ends up in an enemy country instead. Believing that she is dead, Armaan marries Aliya, who is pregnant with Raja's child. Armaan saves Aasma and brings her back to India. Armaan and Aasma adopt Zaid while Aliya gives birth to a daughter, Khushi. Aasma is revealed to be pregnant and Aliya hires goons to get rid of her, which leads to Aasma going into early labor. She gives birth to twin girls but is made to believe that one of her daughters died during birth. The goons throw the girl in the river, but she is saved by Armaan.
Aasma is living with her daughter, Haniya, and Zaid. Armaan is raising Meher, unaware that she is his and Aasma's daughter. Aliya wants to eliminate Meher to get Armaan. Armaan and Aasma come face to face and Aliya is exposed and arrested. The police jeep has an accident and Aliya becomes paralyzed. After the accident, Aliya turns over a new leaf and apologizes to Aasma for her misdeeds.
Ranvijay Singh, aka Rockstar RV, is introduced. Aliya and RV fall in love, but Aliya remains faithful to Raja. In a twist of events, RV turns out to be Sukhi's illegitimate son. Sukhi promises to have Aliya and RV marry as Raja is mentally unstable. However, Aasma stops the wedding and RV leaves the Gill house. Aliya turns negative again and tortures Aasma. She kidnaps Haniya and Meher, but Aasma rescues them. It becomes known that Meher is Armaan and Aasma's daughter. In a last ditch effort, Aliya tries to kill Aasma but ends up falling to her death.
