Hailing from a middle-class Punjabi Hindu family, the Bajwas are all set to get their eldest daughter Lakshmi married to Varun. However, when Lakshmi and her family are on their way to the mandap in a bus, a storm hits and the bus ends up dangling over a cliff. Everyone except Lakshmi's parents manages to get out of the bus okay. Manoj falls of the bus and dangles on it and makes his brother promise that he will get Lakshmi married. The bus with Kuljeet and Manoj still in it falls down the cliff. Kuljeet and Manoj, die in an accident, leaving Lakshmi disheartened and broken. On the other hand, Lakshmi’s aunt, Rano wants to usurp Manoj’s property. She asks Manoj's assistant, Guru Charan to open the safe to get the money, however, he rejects her and says that Manoj's last wish was to get Lakshmi married and that after Rano completes his last wish, she can take everything. Rano later decides to pretend to show Guru that she will give the sisters a good life and she begins her plan by breaking Lakshmi’s marriage with Varun, in order to take her to Mumbai and marry her off to some man.

Soon, Rano, Preetam, Neha, Lakshmi, Shalu, and Bani leave for Mumbai. They end up crash landing in a hotel that belongs to Rishi Oberoi, an industrialist's son who seems to be arrogant and untrustworthy, but he is also as kind and selfless as Lakshmi. Later, Lakshmi and her sisters hide in Rishi’s office while Rishi gets frustrated about running late to a model’s event and people trespassing his 5-star hotel. Lakshmi gets Rishi to promise that he won’t get them arrested but Rishi breaks the promise and gets them arrested for trespassing and stealing an auto. Rano and Preetam get them freed with the help of Rishi’s driver, Balwinder who secretly lusts for Neha.

Balwinder does as Rano says and then the other day at Balwinder and Lakshmi's wedding, Balwinder gets drunk and says absurd things about Rishi and his hotel. Rishi's flight for France gets cancelled and he rushes to the hotel. There he sees a bad condition of his hotel and he scolds Balwinder and blames him for the poor condition of his hotel. The hotel catches fire, everybody gets out. Rishi rushes in the hotel to ensure nobody is stuck inside but he himself gets stuck in a room and because of inhaling smoke he faints. Lakshmi comes to rescue him. Next day, Rishi's father comes to thank Lakshmi and gets highly affected by her simplicity and good upbringing and asks Rano and her husband to marry Lakshmi to Rishi but they misunderstand that he was asking for Neha. Rishi's father conveys the same to a confused Rishi and Neelam (Rishi's mother). They agree to meet Lakshmi for once.

Later when Rishi's parents arrive to give shagun to Lakshmi, the misunderstanding gets cleared and Virendra (Rishi's father) asks Lakshmi to decide. But after being consoled by Virendra (seeing her father in him), Lakshmi agrees to meet Rishi on a date and then decide. Thus, Rishi and Lakshmi get ready to go on a date. Lakshmi then gets impressed by him. Later, the two go for a dinner and Lakshmi notices his selflessness there too. Lakshmi phones up Neha and Rano to tell that Rishi was nothing like Rano and Neha had described. Coming back home, Balwinder attacks Rishi's car but they both save each other. Rishi invites Bajwas to his birthday. In the party Rishi and Lakshmi fall for each other and Rishi proposes Lakshmi for marriage. She agrees for the marriage. Rishi's father announces Rishi and Lakshmi's engagement the next day. All get happy except Neha, Rano and Balwinder. In engagement, Balwinder shows some fake intimate pictures of him and Lakshmi and tries to break engagement but Rishi shows his immense faith on Lakshmi and proves her innocent and sends Balwinder to jail. They both get engaged and Lakshmi starts falling in love with Rishi.

The marriage events start to take place where Balwinder and his goons try to kidnap Lakshmi and marry her. However, Abhi and Pragya save her. After that Neha tries to make Lakshmi unconscious and marry Rishi. However, her plan gets foiled because of Srishti and Rakhi. Balwinder tries to make Lakshmi drink water so that she can be unconscious however Karan, Sameer and Preeta foil his plan. Finally, Rishi and Lakshmi get married. However, Rishi shows his true colors and confesses that he doesn't love Lakshmi and he was forced into the marriage. Nanaji (Neelam's dad) asks Lakshmi and Rishi to go for a honeymoon. For the sake of Nanaji, they both go on honeymoon. However, Rishi falls in a lake and is captured by a crocodile. Lakshmi saves him but both get injured. To visit Rishi, Rishi's girlfriend Malishka comes there. It is revealed that Rishi is married to Lakshmi only because of his Kundali Dosh and Lakshmi is the only girl who can always save him. It is also revealed that after 1 year Rishi is planning to divorce Lakshmi and get married to Malishka.

During Karva Chauth a snake bites Rishi and Lakshmi saves him by sucking out the poison. In the ambulance, Rishi gains consciousness but Lakshmi faints as she sucked all the poison from Rishi's body. In the hospital, Rishi feels guilty and it is seen that slowly Rishi has started caring for Lakshmi. After that Ayush and Virendra vow to bring Rishi and Lakshmi close. During Diwali Rishi and Lakshmi come closer. Malishka enters the party with Viraj.

Launch[]

Ekta Kapoor the producer of the show stated, “Lakshmi is one of the purest souls we have worked on as a character in a long time. She represents inherent goodness – neki, a value that’s perhaps diminished in people’s vocabulary over the years, but it shouldn’t. As mankind, we’ve been through a lot lately and some of the toughest times have a way of bringing forth shining examples of kindness and benevolence. We’ve all read stories of people who went out on a foot during the pandemic and helped others in need. Lakshmi’s a lot like that. And when you see someone like that, you fall in love with them and want to see life presenting them with good bhagya (destiny). Aishwarya Khare with her endearing sincerity and warmth is the right fit for Lakshmi whereas Rohit Suchanti will win hearts as always with his role as the flamboyant, practical, and dashing Rishi.”
