Synopsis

Maitree and Nandini are best friends since childhood but when they grow up, Maitree feels betrayed by Nandini due to some unknown reasons and a rift gets created between the friendship of the duo.

Plot

Maitree and Nandini are best friends and, to avoid being separated from each other, hope to marry into the same house.

15 years later

Nandini and Maitree are now grown up. Nandini is married to Aashish. They are also expecting their first child. Aashish is an advocate by profession. Eventually Maitree marries Saransh, Aashish's younger cousin. Unknown to anyone, Saransh is a drug addict. Saransh and Maitree; Nandini and Aashish get into a car accident. Aashish and Maitree luckily survive the accident. Nandini falls into a coma after delivering a baby boy while Saransh succumbs to his injuries and dies. Saransh's mother, Sona Vishwas Tiwari blames Maitree for Saransh's death. Nandini's mother, Advocate Vasundhara Singh Rathore accidentally mentions in front of Aashish that Saransh was a drug addict, which shocks him. Maitree decides to take care of Nandini and Aashish's son. Vasundhara informs Maitree that Saransh was a drug addict. Maitree is devastated and confronts Aashish. Aashish tries to conceal the truth but fails as Vasundhara had sent Saransh's reports to Maitree.

Aashish gets arrested and Vasundhara uses false evidences in court against him to prove that he is a drug dealer. But later, he gets bail and attends his son's naming ceremony. Aashish and Nandini's son is named Nandis ( a combination of their name)
