The series is shot in India, as well as in the picturesque cities Vienna and Innsbruck of Austria.
Pardes Mein Hai Mera Dil tells the story of Raghav and Naina, two individuals with a golden heart, who are fated to meet and fall in love in a foreign land, but destined to face challenges before their ultimate union.
The series starts with showing Naina Batra, whose life revolves around her ailing mother Asha Batra. She is a strong-willed twenty-seven-year-old woman, who bares the scars of her unfulfilled love affair. She is going abroad, for reasons not yet known, leaving behind her sick mother. Baffled by certain questions thrown at her by a judgmental fellow passenger, Naina opens up about her past. She tells her how difficult it is for her to leave her sick mother behind and how after her father’s death, she became the bread winner of the house and her mother’s sole support. Naina tells her life in Mumbai and her love affair with Amit Mehrotra, which was broken due to Naina, devoting most of her time to her mother. Though, after sorting out their differences, the two decide to get engaged the next day. On the engagement day, Amit’s mother points out that Naina is still the same girl and that she will not consent for her to go abroad to Austria with him. She tells him that under no circumstances will Naina agree to leave her mother and that she will again choose her over him. Naina's mother overhears their conversation and, as a consequence, suffers a heart attack. She convinces Naina not to worry about her and to go overseas to be with Amit.
