The story is the journey of a modern young woman who has to find a way to her dreams and who unexpectedly finds a constant companion in the person she least expected it from — her traditional husband and his family.
The serial has followed Sandhya's (Deepika Singh) life since she was a young college-going girl to the time she was forced into marriage following her parents' death to her struggles to find acceptance in a traditional Rajasthani family, to motherhood and most significantly her journey to become an IPS officer as she had always desired and the many challenges of her chosen profession. Her constant supporter has been her husband Sooraj Rathi (Anas Rashid) who has stood by her even when it has threatened to alienate him from his family. He is the favourite child of his mother Santosh Rathi (Neelu Vaghela) but it has not stopped him from standing up to his mother whenever he has felt she is in the wrong. Similarly Santosh or Bhabho, as she is known to all, has never minced words especially when it comes to her daughters-in-law. At the beginning of the series, Bhabho is Sandhya's biggest opponent but over the years has come to become her biggest supporter. Rajkumar had came back to take revenge from Sandhya.

Sooraj is to get married to Laalima. Hearing this, Sandhya breaks down but after her mission ends she rushes to the Rathi house. Sandhya and Sooraj finally reunite.
