Plot


Ambitious and educated, Deepti pursues her dream of becoming an IPS officer for her father. Sooraj, a partially-educated and simple young master-confectioner is the perfect elder heir to his middle-class traditional family.
Deepti's dreams and aspirations are destroyed as she loses her parents in an accident. Planning to move abroad, her brother Gopan fixes her marriage to Sooraj whose strict mother Padmavathi "Padma" wants her daughter-in-law to be simple and not well-educated, with the excellent skills of a housewife.
After discovering this, Gopan lies about Deepti's education level to ensure her settlement. Deepti gives up her education and dreams, accepting her roles as a wife and the elder daughter-in-law of the family. Soon, as her truth of being educated and not knowing cooking is revealed, Padma banishes her.
Sooraj stands up for Deepti and vows to teach her everything she must know to prepare herself as the daughter-in-law that Padma expects. Deepti starts caring for Sooraj and helps him in various situations including an international confection competition in Singapore.
Later, Sooraj helps Deepti complete her studies. Eventually, he convinces Padma to accept Deepti and her dreams. Deepti faces great challenges in the IPS Academy, establishing herself as an extraordinary police officer.
As a police officer, Deepti fights various criminals including terrorist leaders, while in the meantime, solving her various family problems as she struggles to balance between her professional duties and domestic responsibilities.
Together with Sooraj, Deepti forms a deep relationship with underlying love, until misunderstandings tear them apart. But it gets cleared up and they reunite. Deepti donates one of her kidneys to Padma battling for life which is unknown to the family.
Gopan's little son Nandu greatly eagers for a sibling but his wife Sandya miscarries and is unable to conceive again. Expecting twins, Deepti and Sooraj decide to give their one twin to Sandya on Nandu's demand.
Later, Sooraj and Padma learn that Deepti is her kidney donor. Deepti delivers twin sons Dhirav and Dhyaan. The infants are kidnapped in order to be sold. In the ensuing rescue actions, Dhirav is saved and Dhyaan is believed to have succumbed to his death shattering all. A police officer saves Dhyaan though and returns him promptly.
