Shastriji and Devaki live in a Vrindavan, and they have two daughters, Radhika, who is an adopted child, and Vishakha Shastri. Radhika is simple and dutiful, whereas Vishakha wants to be an actress in Bollywood. She is headstrong and selfish. Vishakha and Radhika share a close bond. The Purohits are a well to do from Janakpuri Delhi and have their ancestral home in Vrindavan. They have two sons - Vivek and Dev. The Purohits have great expectations from Dev who falls in love with Radhika. But fate wills otherwise, and he thinks he marries Vishakha due to a confusion. The story takes a dramatic turn when Radhika enters Dev's house, and the stage is set for an unusual love triangle, with each character grappling with peculiar dilemmas.
