Kayamath is an Indian soap opera that aired on STAR Plus. The soap started airing on 19 February 2007 and ended on 12 March 2009.This show gained much popularity. It has been top 10 show of Star Plus of all time.

Kayamath emphasizes how relationships change over the course of time, with the concept of everlasting love as the underlying theme of the show. It is the story of Prachi, an ordinary young woman who faces many extraordinary situations in life.

The story begins with the introduction of two pairs of best friends living completely different lifestyles — Prachi/Neev and Milind/Ayesha.

Brought up in the lap of luxury, Neev Shergill and Prachi Shah are oblivious to the harsh realities that people often face in life. They are the children of close friends and business partners - Pranay Shergill and Inder Shah. Neev and Prachi are simple, straightforward characters. Their childhood friendship blossoms into love as they grow up.

On the other hand, Milind Mishra and Ayesha Mehra have lived in poverty all their lives. They've learned to stand up for themselves and know how to deal with challenging situations. They, too, have been in love since they were kids.

Eventually, Prachi and Ayesha meet and become close friends within a short time. Neev and Milind are unhappy with this as they can't stand their friendship. Milind believes that Prachi is too much of a spoiled little princess, while Neev sees Ayesha as an ill-mannered, disrespectful brat. Meanwhile, Prachi's brother Alaap starts a relationship with Milind's sister Sukriti. Things turn ugly between Prachi and Milind's families when Alaap humiliates Sukriti and dumps her after a one-night stand.

Prachi was about to marry a man named Varun . He turns out to be a fraud. After many problems neev and prachi are about to get married when a shocking secret comes to light on the day Prachi's father dies, which brings Ayesha and Prachi's friendship to a halt. They discover that they are paternal half-sisters. Their father Inder once had an extramarital affair with Amrita (Ayesha's mother) while he was married to Premlata (Prachi's mother). Inder abandoned Amrita and went back to Premlata for the sake of the newborn Prachi. He was unaware that Amrita was pregnant with his child, Ayesha. Amrita became mentally unstable out of misery. Inder came to know of Ayesha's existence after her birth but didn't have the courage to face Amrita again. As a result, Ayesha was raised without either of her parents being actively involved in her life.

Ayesha begins to resent Prachi, holding her responsible for the way her life turned out and for Amrita's condition. A misunderstanding created by Alaap makes Ayesha's resentment turn into hatred. She decides to make Prachi pay. She takes over the Shah family's business empire and warns Prachi that she would hurt her by making sure she and Neev don't stay together. Prachi breaks up with Neev as she had promised her dead father that she'd always look out for Ayesha's best interests. Soon, Ayesha blackmails Neev into marrying her. Shortly after they get married, Prachi finds out that her father didn't die in an accident ; he was murdered.
