Plot[]

Although cheerful and intelligent, Thapki has a stutter but never loses hope and doesn't let her speech impairment become an obstacle in her life. However, her stutter prevents her from receiving any marriage proposals. Finally, she is engaged to Diwakar who abandons Thapki on the day of marriage and later marries Aditi ( Thapki's sister). She always speaks with a pat so people named her Thapki.

Thapki finds employment at a TV channel owned by the gentle and educated Dhruv Pandey, whom she impresses. Soon Dhruv falls in love with Thapki, and proposes her for marriage. She agrees. His mother Vasundhara disapproves of Thapki upon finding out that the latter stutters. She orders her adopted son, Bihaan,to marry Thapki instead of Dhruv. Whom she doesn't love as much as her blood related son, Dhruv. Bihaan, who loved his mother a lot, and could never defy her, unwillingly agrees. After many failed attempts, the marriage day arrives. Vasundhara emotionally blackmails Bihaan, fully aware of his weakness, saying that if the marriage is not stopped she'll kill herself. Bihaan has no choice but to give in.

He stops Dhruv by reaching the mandap and closing the door of his room. He unwillingly hits Dhruv hard on the head, thus making him unconscious to prevent him from reaching the mandap. Vasundhara, who is still unconvinced that this act would actually prevent the marriage, blackmails Bihaan to marry Thapki instead of Dhruv. Bihaan who is shocked and heartbroken, agrees, in order to make his mother happy. He wears Dhruv's sherwani and covers his face with sehra. Then his elder brothers Sanjay and Ashvin came to take Dhruv, but they take Bihaan instead because they think that he is Dhruv. Bihaan takes Dhruv's place in the mandap and marries Thapki.

When Thapki learns the truth of her marriage with Bihaan, she is completely heartbroken. She decides to divorce him after 3 months. Thapki takes her place in Pandey Niwas as daughter-in-law. Vasundhra, still in search of the perfect and ideal daughter-in-law and a suitable wife for Dhruv, comes across Shraddha. Shraddha, owing to her deceiving nature, manages to convince the Pandeys that she is a very good natured, kind, and cultured girl. Bihaan and Thapki, however see through all of that, and discover her true and evil side. Despite trying to inform Vasundhara about all of that, and making repeated attempts to expose Shraddha's true nature, Bihaan and Thapki fail, and Dhruv and Shraddha are married.

Later, upon finding out that Dhruv still hasn't been able to move on from Thapki, Shraddha gets jealous of her and aided by Vasundhara, she tries to create numerous problems in Thapki's life. She manipulates Vasundhara into believing that Thapki is a very evil girl. She believes Shraddha and continues to make Thapki's life harder. That was until the day Thapki rescues Vasundhara from a falling deity. She regrets her attitude for Thapki. Amid all of this, as fate would have it, and owing to the circumstances, Thapki and Bihaan fall in love with each other. Later Bihaan confesses his love to her and she feels the same way.

Dhruv who becomes jealous of them, tries to break up their marriage by attempting to kill Bihaan, but Thapki and Shraddha save him. Dhruv kidnaps and forcefully tries to marry Thapki; Bihaan saves her and forgives him after he regrets his behaviour. Guilty of his actions, Dhruv leaves Pandey Niwas to introspect.

Two months pass by, and Bihaan's biological mother Kosi and step-father Naman enter. They want a kidney from Bihaan for their own son Janardhan, and discover that Bihaan was born with one kidney. Thapki tells him that Kosi wants the kidney but Bihaan doesn't believe her. And thinks that Thapki is jealous. Kosi, in order to get Thapki out of her way of getting the kidney from Bihaan, falsely accuses her of attempting to kill her. Thapki tries to prove her innocence in front of the Pandey family, but with all evidence pointing against her, no one believes her. Enraged, Bihaan slaps Thapki, and severing all ties with her he orders her to leave his life and Pandey Niwas forever. Before leaving, Thapki writes a letter to inform Bihaan that she's pregnant, hoping that he'll not let her go, but her letter is found by a woman named Sankar who is Kosi's maid, she loves Bihaan and wants to marry him all for herself. Thapki meets with an accident and loses her unborn child.
