Plot[]
The show is the story of a boy and a girl with a very different approach towards their life and career. The boy, Ghanashyam Kale (Swapnil Joshi) has an American Dream, and desperately wants to shift in USA. The girl, Radha Desai (Mukta Barve), is working in an advertising agency and living with her father. Radha's father is a single parent.
Radha and Ghana have their individual goals in their lives and don't want to be married. But both Kale and Desai families put pressure on them to get married as soon as possible because of their age. Both families arrange dates for them many times but every time Radha and Ghana refuse to get married. Radha has rejected 71 boys and Ghana has rejected 63 girls before they meet each other. Due to relentless pressure from their families Radha and Ghana take an unusual decision of Contract Marriage.
Radha and Ghana reluctantly marry with the agreement that they will divorce each other over a year. Radha is initially uncomfortable living with a joint family, but gets accustomed to it soon. The serial chronicles the couple's attempts to hide their true decision from their family. In an unusual turn of events, Radha and Ghana develop feelings for one other. Soon many people from the house come to know about their contract marriage. Ghana's grandmother also learns of their intentions and introduces a new boy, Abhir (Umesh Kamat), in their lives.
Ghanashyam's attempts to get into the US fail despite his efforts. Abhir falls for Radha, but she in turn longs for her husband. Abhir leaves, and Radha confesses her love for Ghanashyam, and tells him that she doesn't want a divorce. The latter spurns her and reminds her of her contract. It is revealed that Ghana had unrequited love for his deceased childhood friend and wants to go to the US for her sake.
Towards the end, Ghanashyam nearly succeeds in getting into America, but is rejected because he is married. He is upset thinking is marriage is coming in between his dreams. Ghanashyam tells his boss that he is getting divorced, but realizes that he was hurting his family for his own personal gain. He realizes that he has grown to love his wife and doesn't want to divorce her or leave her. He realises that he loves his wife and family much more than his american dream.
Ghanashyam rejects the offer of going to America and decides to resign. But his boss is impressed with Ghanashyam and hence offers him the same package in India. Ghanashyam reconciles and apologizes to his wife and family. He proposes to his wife as he is really in love now. The serial ends with the couple going to their honeymoon abroad.
