Plot

Manas and Vaidehi are in their college days. Manas is in love with Vaidehi, and he sends her poems. Vaidehi soon falls in love with these poems, and through a common friend, she meets her secret admirer. Due to an inter college drama competition, Vaidehi and Manas grow close, and Vaidehi falls in love with Manas. They begin dating soon after. Vaidehi’s best friend, Sameer Nawathe is in love with her, but she clears their misunderstandings and remains friends with him. Sameer’s father, a businessman sets a trap for Manas and Vaidehi’s families, but the truth comes out later, and at a New Year’s party, the families reconcile.

This marks the entry of Maya, who falls in love with Manas. She sweet talks Vaidehi, and becomes her friend. She troubles Manas, by visiting his home often, by trapping her and Manas in a classroom in college and paying a guy to click intimate pictures of them, blackmailing Manas indirectly. Maya tells Vaidehi one sided stories about Manas cheating on Vaidehi. Angry and hurt, Vaidehi breaks up with Manas. Sameer finds out about Maya’s plan and makes his own plan to fool her. Manas and Vaidehi reconcile. They reveal their relationship to their respective homes, getting acceptance in both homes.

Soon, Rocky, a completely egoistic musician, Maya’s friend, enters their lives, and insults their gang. Vaidehi challenges Rocky for a competition. Maya, meanwhile sweet talks Vaidehi’s friend, Tanya, and she helps Maya by influencing Varsha, Vaidehi’s best friend, against Vaidehi. Tanya also creates problems for the group, by stealing and hiding their equipment. On Holi, Maya mixes bhaang in the thandai, leading to Manas and Vaidehi having an intercourse. Their gang wins the competition and Vaidehi is revealed pregnant, after their college ends. Meanwhile, Sameer and Tanya fall in love with each other and start dating.

After they tell their families, Manas’s father tells him to earn a certain amount of money in order to come back home. Soon after, Manas starts working at a travel company. Manas and Vaidehi get married. Manas’ boss’ wife, Shalmali is a woman with no child of her own. She starts becoming protective about pregnant Vaidehi and starts disliking Manas. She creates many troubles in Manas and Vaidehi's lives, by influencing Vaidehi against Manas and kidnapping Vaidehi. She is revealed with a psychological problem, and later Manas and Vaidehi forgive her.

Meanwhile, Manas’ uncle, Kuldeep, has an eye on the property owned by Sadanand Rege. He pushes the family into troubles, causing Manas’ accident, where he goes into coma for a long time. Finally, Kuldeep is arrested. Soon after, a baby girl is born to Manas and Vaidehi, and they name her Mahi. They think of donating their child to childless Shalmali, but Shalmali refuses. They soon shift to a new house, gifted to them by Vaidehi’s father. Manas and Vaidehi join her father’s company.

Manas later starts working for RBK (Revati Bhargav Kotibhaskar), as a musician and singer, a job of his dreams. Sameer too, joins the same company, a few days later. Revati, Manas and Sameer’s boss, hates Manas and Sameer’s friendship, and plans to sabotage it. She accuses Manas of molestation. Vaidehi, aspiring to be a lawyer that time, takes up Manas’s case. Sameer supports Revati. This brings a lot of problems in Sameer and Tanya’s relationship. They break up soon after.

Vaidehi proves Manas not guilty, and Sameer and Manas reconcile. Revati is revealed to be jealous of Manas, who has everything. Sameer apologises to Tanya, and they get back together.
