Anandi is shown as a very bright student,she lived with her parents(bhagwati and khajan).one day a gentleman visit them(anandi and her parents).he was there to see anandi as a bride for his son, Jagdish. This gentleman-jagdish's father- Bhairav, is very pleased to meet anandi and her parents.he takes anandis pic to show to his maasa for her approval. Maasa(jadishs grandmom>dadi sa) asks bhairav to fix the gauna soon as possible since this girl happens to be very lucky as the very time they got jamunas(old taiji) news of being a mom. Meanwhile anandis school teacher came to know about anandis marriage being fixed. She tried all the possible ways in order to stop the marriage but couldn't and indeed she was asked to leave the village! Later dadi sa was shown making jamuna do loads of work,she became stick and was hospitalized where she was declared dead since she was very weak going through many abortions. This made Jagdishs parents realize the ills about child marriage and their mistake. They denied to do Sugna's gauna(their daughter-jaggus sister) before she turns 18. Anandis mom worried about anandis future and asks khajan to do her gauna at the very age instead of waiting for long.
After anandis gauna anandi came to live with her inlaws where she was asked by dadi sa to do the house chores and all. Jaggus parents decided to keep the kidoos away in other way! Earlier both anandi and jaggu dint liked each other much but with the time they became great pals. Anandi used to help jagdish with his HWs secretly since she was already warned by dadi sa to stay away from books and just do all the house work as a beendhani. Both Sugna and Pratap(sugnas hubby) meets each other secretly and jaggu used to help her sister with that. Dadi sa wasn't much happy with anandi, thinking her as a spoil brat who wasn't taught morals by her parents. dadi always used to shoot lots of rules marked with dos and donts in anandis court and even used to punish her. once anandi got so scared that she ran from her inlaws house and went back to her parents but her parents got angry because dadi sa blamed anandi for running away with money they pleaded dadi sa to allow anandi back in their house and dadi sa did! Basanth was alone all the while and used to come in house late night drunk!masaa worried about her and thought it was all because he was alone and all she asked bhavari(this lady was the only one who brought the news about anandis family to jaggus and vice versa.)to search a young and beautiful bride for her elder son. Both Bhirav and Sumitra(jaggus parents) opposed the marriage when bhavari brought gehnas news but dadi sa chided them saying that they don't care for basanth but she does and no one could interfere in the matter. Gehnas parents were very poor and were burdened by the heavy dues maasa helped them providing financial assistance and gehnas father agreed on getting his daughter married with basanth(who was much much older than gehna) .Gehna was left with no other option but to marry because of her family. Later when her gauna was done and she came to live with her inlaws it was than when she inquired about old taiji(jamuna's) death and the cause.Basanth many a times tried to harass and molest her. Gehna stood against both masa and tauji knowing their real motive,their desire for a child. She courageously raised her voice against ma saa and her deeds fighting for herself! All the while she was highly taunted and criticized by both masa and basanth. Dadi sa even lied to everyone about her age saying that she got a bride who was already an adult for her son when she was not!
Meanwhile anandi did express her desire for studying and sugnas meetings with pratap secretly were still on, no one was still aware about that. When suddenly prataps parents asked jaggus parents to do sugnas guana because they can not wait anymore since people in their village have started forming diff views about there son and if sugnas gauna wont be done than they would get their son remarried. Dadi sa plays her role here and very smartly spread the news among the people about sugnas gauna. Anandi secrectly appears for exams and tops in them now she asked jaggus parents if she could continue her studies and could go to school as well with jaggu and her friend phooli. Bhairav asks dadi sa and she does allow her for that since her grandson jaggu, anandis beendh wants her beendhani to study(although she dint want anandi with academics but very cleverly she approves that she brain washed jaggu trying to impart the feeling of jealousy in the boy. Jaggu falls flat into the pit dug by dadi sa and denied saying that he don't want anandi to study further. Now whats going to happen with anandis desire of studying-would jaggu realize dadi sas plan-what with sugnas gauna-and what about gehna still standing for her rights??!
dadi saa fills jaggu and jagz did feels jealous/insecure thinking about what if anandi gets all the praises and all because of which he denied to let anandi cont with her academics. Jagdishyas parents talk with him and his father(bhairav) makes him understand and jaggu finally agrees for letting anandi cont her studies (at home itself since dadi sa allowed that part) not even this he even offers his help to help anandi with studies. Everything seemed back to normal but dadi sa was up to anyhow dont let anandi study becuase of which she used to bombard her with work either trying to engage her(anandi) with house chores or her(dadi sa) personal work but family mem helped anandi with that part so that she could study more and freely. By this anandi even went through her menstural cycle and it was shown how she was treated and bared from everyone because of dadi sa and her rituals only. Sugnas gauna was fixed and shopping was on for that purpose.Still no one in the house except kidoos knows about her secret meetings with pratap. Everyone got the news about gehnas pregnancy. All esp dadi sa and basanth were extremely happy knowing that. Gehna was however scared and wanted to abort since doc said that would possess danger to her life as well since she is very week. Dadi sa doesnt allow that instead gets mad about gehna seeking a docs advice and taking medications and all! However basanth seems to be taking extra care of gehna (but thats all because of the child which dadi sa constantly says about having a son not a girl). Gehna takes doc advice and wants to abort which dadi sa gets really mad knowing that and both basanth and masaa threatens her for throwing her from where they brought her due to sheer symphethy because of they being poor. Ma saa calls gehnas family(her parents and sisters) and insults them badly asking them to take gehna away if she dont want to bear the child. Gehna couldnt take that and asks ma sa not to abbuse her family and that she is ready to give birth to the child after which she would leave the house paying all the debts giving birth to the 'vansh' of this family! both bhairav and sumitra(jaggus parents) disapproved that and informed gehnas parents about what doc told and the danger,gehnas dad realize his mistake but gehna says that it was too late now since she already gave her words to maa sa.She dont her sisters to suffer/to go through the same phase as she is going and for that she is ready to sacrifice anything even her life.
As everyone mourns Pratap's death, the ceremonies following the death begin. Suguna is too shocked about losing her husband and sits dazed. Her heart-wrenching cries when she finally realises what has happened breaks everyone's heart. Maasa becomes the pillar of strength for everyone in the family as she mourns and cries over the death on her own. Suguna is stripped off all her jewellery and colorful clothes. Even the chain that Pratap gave her is removed. She starts to live her life as a widow. Maasa tells everyone in the family that Suguna will have to start living in the room behind the haveli for a year to grieve her husband's death. She also explains the other rules that Suguna will have to follow. All the adults in the house vehemently oppose Maasa's decision, but Suguna tells everyone that she would like to go through this so that she can mourn Pratap's death. She starts to live in the dark room behind the haveli despite everyone's protest. In order to keep Gehna happy through her pregnancy, Maasa asks everyone else to start leading their lives normally. Pratap's parents shun Suguna as being abshagun and tell Bhairav that they don't want her living with them. As the days go by, Suguna starts to find some of the widow rules too strict. She also starts to feel like her family and everyone else think that she is abshagun. As Maasa tries her best to avoid Suguna getting attached to all her previous belongings, Suguna finds this suffocating and turns resentful towards Anandi and the others. In order to help Suguna, Bhairav tries to talk to Maasa to let Suguna stay with them. Maasa doesn't agree. In a fit of anger, Bhairav declares he will leave the house with his family. His attempt at this too is futile since both Suguna and Maasa threaten to kill themselves if that happens. In order to cheer up everyone at home, Suguna and Jagya try several things. They plan a surprise birthday party for Maasa. This too is not appreciated as Maasa is upset since her birthday falls on the same day as her husband died.. Just as everything looks hopless, Badi Jiji, Maasa's elder sister walks into the house. When compared to Maasa, badi maasi is much more open minded and finds Maasa's methods of running her family archaic. She does not support Suguna's decision to torture herself over her husband's death. She decides to talk to Maasa about changing her ways...
Badi Maasi is appalled that Sumitra and Bhairav have let Suguna torture herself by staying alone and following age-old heartless widow customs. Sumitra explains to her about how this was Suguna's own decision and that Maasa supports her. Badi maasi decides to do something about this. She gives everyone presents at home. Jagya gets a lot of computer games from her. She even offers to go to school with him to let his teachers use the computer at school. Meanwhile, the concern that Basanth shows towards Gehna and her baby makes Gehna change her opinion about Basanth. They both seem to respect each other.
Badi maasi is able to bring about small changes in the village and in the house. She convinces the school principal to let the children play games everyday. She is also responsible for ending the enemity between Madan Singh and Maasa's family. She indulges in playing some childhood games with Maasa and her family, thus making Suguna return to normalcy. All the while Badi Maasi makes Maasa realise how heartless she is being to her own family. Maasa softens considerably. First, she allows Suguna to start eating normal food. She also allows Suguna to help out with household chores. She realises how cruel she was to Anandi's friend Phooli, who is also a child widow. She allows Suguna to start eating with the family.
Just as Suguna's life is returning to normalcy, Badi Maasi also slowly realises that all's not well with Gehna and Basanth. When Sumitra tells her the story behind Gehna's marriage to Basanth, Badi Maasi is angered at Maasa's heartlessness. She resolves to make life better for Gehna..She talks to Basanth and makes him realise that in order to win over Gehna, he will have to understand her and keep her happy. To do this, she urges him to get Maasa to agree to let Gehna learn music. Although Maasa absolutely hates the idea, she is forced to agree since all the family members force her. She lays out a condition that Gehna should not face a strange man and sing. So Badi maasi arranges for Gehna to sit behind a screen and learn her lessons. Bhairav approaches his old tabla teacher who sends his son to the haveli to teach Gehna. Although all family members are happy, Maasa does not like this new turn of events. Badi maasi tries to have Suguna resume school again. This pushes Maasa to the breaking point. She yells at Badi maasi insulting her and telling her not to interfere in her family business. A dejected Badi maasi leaves home. Maasa realises her folly and brings her back home. She agrees to Suguna starting school again. In order to have some happiness in the family, Suguna and badi maasi plan a surprise anniversary party for Anandi and Jagya. Meanwhile, Phooli's parents fix her wedding to a widower and proceed with the wedding against Phooli's will. Come wedding anniversary day, while Anandi and Jagya celebrate their wedding anniversary with friends and family, Phooli's wedding commences to a man who is much more older than her. After learning about this from Bhavri, Bhairav rushes to the wedding and asks them to stop. He tries to talk Jagan out of marrying off his daughter to such an old guy, but the villagers don't let that happen. Bhairav has the groom arrested. The cops also arrest Phooli's parents. Bhairav brings Phooli to the haveli for the night...
Suguna resumes school. On her way to school, the first day, she happens to meet a young boy, Shyam. Shyam pulls some prank on Suguna, which unfortunately backfires. Suguna forms a bad impression about Shyam. Seeing Suguna going to school doesn't go well with the villagers. Madan Singh instigates the villagers to warn Maasa to stop Suguna's schooling. Bhairav however, refuses to do any such thing. When the other young widows in the village express their desire to study, some of the villagers are forced to reconsider their stand. 2 of the widows start school along with Suguna.
Shyam ends up fighting with Anandi and Jagya in the market over some trivial matter.Meanwhile, Gehna's music lessons still seem to bother Maasa. One day, during a music lesson, a fire starts up in Gehna's room. In order to save Gehna, Niranjan pulls her up by her hand. Seeing her for the first time, he realises how young she is and is stunned. Maasa comes in just then and is shocked to see Niranjan holding Gehna's hand. She tries to have Basanth stop the music lessons, but Basanth does not heed. In order to have it her way, Maasa fires Niranjan from his job when Maasi and the men are out. Gehna sees this and feels bad. Vikrant in the meantime meets Jagya and Anandi again when they are on a school picnic. He saves Jagya's life when he slips off a cliff and earns Jagya and Anandi's friendship.
Shyam tries his best to get friendly with Suguna with no luck. He purposely loses a match with Jagya in the haveli and invites him to a jalebi treat. He asks him to get Anandi and Suguna along. When Suguna learns about this, she gets upset and leaves. Shyam then confronts her and asks her why she is so mad at him. Suguna is unable to answer and tells him to leave her alone. In the meantime Gehna and Basanth's relationship improves, with both of them respecting each other. Maasa again tortures Gehna by threatening her to give birth to a grandson only. Maasi tries to reason with Maasa, with no luck. Gehna gets very upset about this and cries. Seeing this Basanth feels helpless and decides to do something about it.
Basanth tries to resume Gehna's music lessons, but Maasa does not agree. A helpless Basanth feels trapped, but Gehna begins to understand that he cares for her. Suguna in the meantime starts to warm up to Shyam. Shyam rescues her from a wild bull. The vaid is brought in to dress Suguna's wounds and he tells Maasa that Suguna is pregnant.

Pratap's parents however refuse to believe its Pratap's child and insult Suguna's family and drives them away. In order to get out of this situation, Maasa decides to get the child aborted. Suguna refuses saying she wants to keep Pratap's baby. She threatens to kill herself if she is forced to abort. In an effort to find an amicable solution, badi maasi suggests to Maasa that they get Suguna married again, after revealing to the boy everything about Suguna. Maasa does not like this. She gets tired of disputing Badi maasi's thoughts and subtty asks her to leave. Badi maasi sadly leaves the house after bidding goodbye to the members. Maasa asks the doctor to abort Suguna's baby to save family honor. Sumitra tries to convince suguna that this was the only solution. Suguna refuses to co-operate. Maasa physically drags Suguna to the hospital for a check-up and an abortion...
The doctor examines Suguna and refues to abort her baby since its too late and would be dangerous for Suguna. Maasa is unhappy and tells him to still go ahead but is stopped by Bhairav. She then tries to send Suguna away until delivery, but Bhairav opposes that too. She then makes Suguna promise that she will not step out of her room until delivery. Niranjan is broke for money and is ill. Basanth helps him out. Gehna helps Niranjan. This somehow brings Basanth and Gehna closer to each other.

Shyam promises to keep this a secret from everyone tells Suguna that he still wants to marry her. Gehna catches Shyam talking to Suguna and demands to know what he is upto. Upon realising Shyam's feelings for Suguna, she decides to help him. Sumitra who finds out about this is livid at Gehna. She warns Shyam to stay away from Suguna.
