Plot
Background
The show is split into four seasons; the first is how love becomes important over friendship in Manik's life, where Nandini comes in to change his life. The second season is more of an epilogue of the first, depicting how each character's life changes and evolves.
Nandini decides to move to Mumbai for her younger brother, Rishabh's treatment and continue her academics in a reputed science college. She believes her fireflies only light up when there is true love. She accidentally collides with Manik Malhotra, and unknown to Manik, he saves her jar filled with fireflies, and they light up when they both touch the jar simultaneously. It is then believed that there is true love between Manik and Nandini though they are both unaware of this and thus their story begins.
Season 1
Nandini Murthy and her friend Navya Naveli team up to save Shahid, who was bullied by FAB5, at S.P.A.C.E Academy from committing suicide. Nyonika Malhotra (Manik's mother and the Head of S.P.A.C.E) offers Nandini and Navya a full scholarship to protect the college's reputation. This leads to Nandini and Navya becoming the targets of the academy's most famous band "FAB5", a group of rich spoiled kids – Manik Malhotra (the leader and lead vocalist), Cabir (the drummer), Mukti (the guitarist), Dhruv (the guitarist and vocalist) and Alya (Manik's long term girlfriend and the keyboardist).[5]
Nandini becomes their primary target after she defends Navya and saves her from Fab 5. They humiliate her by holding her deceased father's last memory, a pen, as leverage. When Manik breaks the pen, Nandini punches him in front of the college, becoming his main target, marking the beginning of his obsession for her. After luring her under the guise of wanting to be friends, Manik sets her up to get into trouble and the circumstances lead to Nandini becoming Manik's contractual spotgirl. He continues troubling her until his girlfriend Alya intervenes and asks him to leave Nandini alone as she feels he is becoming too involved with her. Alya's insecurity about Manik and Nandini causes her to hire goons to teach Nandini a lesson; however, Dhruv and Manik manage to save her. When Manik discovers that Alya hired the goons, he breaks up with her due to her mistrust, stating that he believes trust is the most essential in any relationship.
Manik and Nandini's petty fights and constant bickerings bring them closer. Manik realises that no one affects him like Nandini, so he is always drawn to her. Initially, he fights the attraction but eventually gives in. Nandini begins to understand Manik a little more after he saves her brother and she realises that he is not the "Monster Manik" she deemed him to be. They both grow closer and become aware of their feelings as they spend evenings and nights together, and keep each others' secrets safe. When Manik finds out that Cabir's secret, he seeks solace in Nandini's arms. During the Diwali party, Manik and Nandini share a very intimate moment which ends with Manik revealing that he broke up with Alya, a secret which even Fab 5 wasn't aware of, and they grow closer.
The night before the college talent competition, Musicana, Manik confesses to Nandini how he feels, and they kiss. On the same night, Manik discovers that his best friend Dhruv also has feelings for Nandini, mistaking their friendship for something more. Manik decides to sacrifice his love for his best friend. Dhruv had saved his life when they were younger, he always felt Dhruv was better than him, thus a better suitor for Nandini. On the night of Musicana, Manik, with a heavy heart, lies to Nandini by humiliating her and telling her it was all just a game for him, and he has wanted to take his revenge on her ever since she punched him. Manik effectively ends his relationship with Nandini. Nandini breaks down. During the competition, Nandini forgets the lyrics to the song she was performing with her band, NH3, on stage, leading to them losing the competition.
Meanwhile, Nandini's best friend, Navya, falls for Harshad, Alya's brother and Mukti's former lover, who spends most of his time plotting against FAB5. To get back at Fab 5, Harshad creates NH3, a band with Navya, Shahid and Nandini, as neither of them are aware of Harshad's true personality. It is after NH3 loses Musicana, that Nandini learns about Harshad's true nature and ill intentions. After FAB5 wins Musicana, Harshad plays a video in front of the entire school, which shows an intimate moment between Cabir and his teacher Raghav, leading to everyone finding out about the pair's homosexuality. As Nandini realises that Harshad is not the person she and Navya thought him to be, she teams up with FAB5 and cooks up a plan to make Navya realise Harshad's true colours. Dhruv tells Nandini he is in love with her; however, she rejects his proposal and tells him that she only sees him as a friend, which angers Manik as he realises that all his efforts to push Nandini towards Dhruv were in vain.
After beating up Cabir on the day as Musicana, effectively hospitalising him, Harshad returns home. Thinking that Harshad must be sad, Navya goes to his house to console him. Harshad sleeps with Navya.
Amid FAB5's plan to expose Harshad, Nandini begins to doubt Manik's reasons for breaking up with her as his behaviour contradicts his words. She confronts him, and in a moment of weakness, he admits that he would never have broken up with her if it was not for Dhruv. This angers Nandini, and she accuses Manik of being selfish for not considering her feelings. She tells him that she wants nothing more to do with him whilst he apologises and begs for her forgiveness after realising what he did to her was wrong.
Nandini, along with FAB5, succeed in their plan to oust Harshad. They trap him into confessing his wrongdoings on camera and he is later arrested for attacking Cabir and Raghav on the night of Musicana. At a celebration for ousting Harshad, FAB5 and Nandini play a game that allows Manik to confirm that Dhruv has moved on from Nandini. The love triangle soon ends as Alya and Dhruv start to get closer when Nandini tells Dhruv that she only sees him as a friend and always will. While Nandini is unwilling to forgive Manik because she feels he will always choose his friends over her, Manik goes to extreme lengths to prove himself.
When Soha Khurana enters as the obsessed fan of Manik, Nandini becomes close to Manik again, as she can't stand the thought of anyone else being with him. This brings them closer and they realise their true feelings for each other during the New Year Party. However, they decide to be friends and get to know one another properly and build a healthier relationship this time around. Soon they become more than friends, and on their first date, the fireflies light up, indicating to Nandini that Manik is indeed her true love. Due to a misunderstanding led by Soha's father, Nandini believes that Manik will be better off without her and will focus on his dreams of becoming a singer. Soha's obsession with Manik reaches a dangerous level, and she attempts to kill Nandini in a fire, but Manik saves her. However, when Nandini finds out that Soha has died in the fire (a ploy set up by Nyonika and Soha's father), and that too perhaps because of Manik, she remains silent in court when she is asked if Manik had anything to do with Soha's death. A shocked Manik stops talking to her as he believes that neither did she trust him nor did she know him well enough to know that he wouldn't kill anyone. Although it is proved that Manik is innocent, and despite Nandini's efforts to get back with him, he makes her suffer, as he felt Nandini didn't trust him enough and felt she betrayed him. However, realising that he can't let her go, he sets a hope vs hate challenge between them, and if Nandini manages to sing with him on the night of the Fusion Concert, there is a chance of them returning together again.
On the other hand, Navya realises that she is pregnant after the night she spent with Harshad during Musicana, but he doesn't take responsibility for his actions. Hurt and betrayed, Navya vows to Harshad that she would change her persona and become stronger for her baby. When Navya is almost kicked out of S.P.A.C.E. due to her pregnancy, Nandini along with Fab 5 run a campaign to bring her back, bringing them all closer. Cabir allows Navya to become his roommate, and the two start growing close. When Navya's mother gets hysterical about Navya handling a baby alone, Cabir promises to give the baby his name and raise it like his own.
Meanwhile, Mukti falls for Abhimanyu, a cancer patient, as he teaches her to smile and be happy. She begins to believe in love again, something she never thought would happen after Harshad broke him heart. After Abhimanyu's departure, she suffers greatly, but her friends support her. On the other hand, Dhruv and Alya's relationship crumbles due to Dhruv's inferiority complex. This leads to Dhruv leaving FAB5. For the Fusion Concert, Manik clashes with Nandini's teacher, Pandit Trilok Chaurasya (Dishank Arora). Manik believes that Pandit has the wrong intentions for Nandini but she brushes them off, thinking Manik is jealous and overreacting.
On the day of the Fusion concert, Manik and Nandini sing together, and all misunderstandings between Dhruv and FAB5 are cleared, and Dhruv attempts to mend his broken friendship with the group. After the concert, Manik tells Nandini he loves her. Their happiness is short-lived when the Pandit kidnaps Nandini. Although saved on the same night, she suffers from the great shock and pushes everyone, including Manik, away. Showing symptoms of PTSD, Nandini decides to take a break and goes to Mangalore with her brother, but Manik goes after her. With the help of Nandini's grandmother, Ams, Manik successfully brings Nandini out of shock, and helps her overcome her trauma a day before her 18th birthday. On her birthday, Nandini tells Manik that she loves him, and they become an official couple.
Meanwhile, Aryaman enters the scene (brother of Soha and friend of Harshad). His initial motive is to seek revenge for his sister's death, believing it is all Manik's fault. While others only suspect him, Nandini discovers the truth and asks for a chance to prove Manik's innocence. On the other hand, Alya begins to suffer from an eating disorder and depression due to her failed relationships and loneliness. On Friendship's Day, she announces that she wants to leave FAB5 and begin a new life which angers Dhruv, who blames Manik, claiming that he is their overshadower. While Alya and Dhruv claim that Manik has always been absent from their lives, Mukti and Cabir take the initiative of getting FAB5 back together.
The reason for Manik and Harshad's feud is also revealed. A few years before Nandini's entry to S.P.A.C.E, Harshad had cheated on Mukti with Nyonika Malhotra, irrevocably damaging his relationship with Fab 5, as he was alienated from the group. It was revealed that he never truly considered them as friends and was always jealous of Manik and the bond Fab 5 shared, and therefore was obsessed with wanting to break them apart.
During the Talent Hunt competition at S.P.A.C.E, FAB5 sing together and manage to mend their broken friendship. On the other hand, Aryaman's misunderstanding is cleared, and he apologises to FAB5, Navya, and Nandini. After FAB5 win the Talent Hunt, Manik and Nandini consummate their relationship. Aryaman decides to throw a dinner party and invites FAB5, Nandini, and Navya. While Nandini waits at home for Manik and Cabir to pick her up and the rest of FAB5 wait for them to arrive at the party, Manik and Cabir face a car accident (plotted by Nyonika, Manik's mother, which was intended for Nandini). This marks the end of Kaisi Yeh Yaariaan Season 1.

Maddy dares to sign the contract but FAB5 perform together, winning over Maddy. Meanwhile, Dhruv is insecure about Alya, and Manik advises him to be alone for some time, resulting in Dhruv breaking up with Alya saying that she is happier with Varun (Alya's boss in fashion design) than him. He says goodbye to Manik and Alya separately and leaves to start a new chapter in his life. Manik breaks down and is diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) caused due to the accident.

While playing, Manik remembers their beautiful memories with Fab5 and his love, Nandini. Navya and Nandini are standing aside and smiling, seeing them together. They make a beautiful tempo with the band and then celebrate New Year, all coming into a group hug and raising their glasses together, standing together as friends forever, with MaNan in the centre.

This angers Nandini, and by the advice of Mukti, she decides that she needs a break from their relationship and wants to date other people. Mukti believes that if Manik sees Nandini with other guys, they will reconcile due to his jealousy.

Season 4
(Starts after two years)
Story revolves around the individual lives of Nandini Murthy and Manik Malhotra post-breakup. Nandini has become a classical music teacher in Mangalore whereas, Manik has gone into hermit mode and resides in a van in the wild jungle of Kasauli.
One day, Manik's fangirl watches him play his guitar and releases the video which goes viral on social media. Nyonika, comes to visit him in the jungle and informs him about acquiring the Malhotra Industries. Unable to tolerate Nyonika's evil business move, Manik returns to normality and takes charge of his father's company anew, opening a singing & creative academy called S.P.A.C.E. in Goa. Rishabh applies to S.P.A.C.E. academy but gets rejected by Manik. Rishabh urges Nandini to talk to Manik and she gives in and visits Manik in Goa after 6 months of their separation.

She is heartbroken after that. However, Manik tries to cheer up Nandini and ensures everything is back on track. Nandini thinks Manik is a heartless 'monster' as he shows no signs of sadness and remorse on losing their child, and breaks up with him. Manik then reveals that he did it because he saw her sacrificing her dreams for the baby and being traumatized after the abortion. He never wanted Nandini to be depressed and therefore hid his own anger, guilt and suffering and supported her emotionally. They get emotional and reconcile.
Season 5
Season 5 picks up right where Season 4 left. Nandini has arranged a romantic surprise for Manik. But the whole thing goes down when Alya assumes the surprise is for her birthday. At the party, Manik & Nandini attempts to sneak out but fails everytime. When Kashin, a member of 'Vibe' - The band Manik is mentoring - faints due to seafood allergy, Manik calls her brother Omkar who is also Nandini's boss from her Space Travel Programme. Omkar asks Manik about Nandini's decision regarding the programme but Nandini never told him anything about this offer. When Manik questions her about it, She says she is thinking about it which confirms Manik's doubt that she is hiding something but refuses to answer him even after numerous attempts.
Nyonika, on the other hand, is worried that she will lose control on Manik again now that Nandini is back. She threatens him to pull out her share in S.P.A.C.E if he doesn't leave Nandini.
At home, Nandini breaks down looking at her sonograms from the time she was pregnant. Manik finds her and she finally confesses that she believes her career killed their baby and she cannot go back to her job or the Space Travel Programme because it reminds her of her loss. He consoles her and convinces her to take her job back.
At S.P.A.C.E, Manik combines his and Nandini's former band to form a new 6 member band to perform at the Musicana. The band includes Rishabh (Nandini's Brother), Advait, Seher, Yuvaan, Latika and Kashin. Advait is the son of Nyonika's boyfriend and has been passing on informations about Manik & Nandini to her.

During Manik's opening performance, Lights go off and he panicks and chokes but Nandini sings from the crowd thus helping him sing again and they sort out their differences and Nandini forgives him.
Nyonika, on the other hand, announces on the stage that S.P.A.C.E GOA is bankrupt since she pulled out her share but Manik surprises everyone by bringing his Dad Mr Malhotra, who announces there's no bankruptcy or whatsoever. When it was turn for Manik's band 'Vibe' to play, One of the band members - Advait goes missing because Kashin finds out he is non binary and threatens to out him. Since there's a lack of one member, Vibe couldn't play at the Musicana.
The next day, Musicana day 2, Manik brings everyone together and urges them to share their secrets with everyone since he believes it is those secrets that is pulling them from performing better.
