Karam Apnaa Apnaa is the story of Gauri, a charming and innocent middle-class Bengali girl. Her father's best friend is a wealthy Punjabi businessman named Mahen Kapoor. Mahen's parents and his wife Nikhila, dot on Gauri who is motherless. Mahen finds a good match for Gauri in the form of Shashank. However, on the day of her wedding, Gauri is shocked to find that she is supposed to marry Mahen's arrogant son Shiv. She is told that Shashank has refused to marry her and the Kapoors have forced Shiv to stand in as the bridegroom. Unable to accept the situation, she runs away from the marriage venue. That's when she meets an understanding stranger, Anupam, who advises her to face her problem instead of running away from it. She returns to the wedding venue, much to the anger of Shiv, who was hoping that she would back out. Shiv marries Gauri, and promises to make her life hell. However, he cannot resist Gauri's simplicity and warmth for long—his hatred gives way to liking. Gauri, on her part, starts loving her husband without expecting him to return her feelings.

After the marriage, a series of mishaps happen to Gauri. It is revealed that Shiv's horoscope (kundali) has a major flaw (dosh), which indicates that his first wife will die soon after their wedding. Knowing this, Nikhila had persuaded Shashank to break off his engagement with Gauri, and asked Shiv to stand in as the bridegroom. Shiv is in love with his childhood friend Ipshita and wants to save her from the ill-effect of his flawed horoscope. But even after learning the truth about Shiv's horoscope, Gauri refuses to abandon him. Gauri's love becomes a source of guilt for Shiv. The day foretold for Gauri's death comes close. Meanwhile, as a camouflage, Nikhila convinces Ipshita to get engaged with Anupam (who turns out to be an old friend). Gauri meets with a major accident but survives. Now, Ipshita turns insecure and pressurizes Shiv to divorce Gauri. However, Shiv is unable to do so, because he has already consummated his marriage and Gauri is pregnant. Ipshita gets married to Anupam when she realized that Shiv will not leave Gauri.
