Plot

Manorama "Rama" Paranjape is the daughter of business tycoon Girish Paranjape and his ex-wife Lavanya. She is spoilt and reckless due to the influence of her elitist mother. In contrast, Raghav Purohit is the middle child of the local priest Gajanan Purohit and is often praised as an exemplary son, which causes envy within his elder brother, Kartikeya. One morning, Raghav is tasked with observing a ritual where he must bear Devi's idol on his shoulders and walk over a certain distance without stopping. At the same time, Rama recklessly drives her car into the procession. Raghav steps over Rama's car and continues his ritual, which enrages her. That same day, when Gajanan suddenly becomes unwell, Raghav officiates a ceremony for Girish on his father's behalf. Rama is angered when Raghav orders her to wear a traditional attire. Raghav finds out that Girish has a wife named Pavitra, and honours her alongside Lavanya. This incident does not sit well with Lavanya. At the end of the ceremony, Girish is inspired by Raghav's speech and decides to make Rama his business heir, but only after she completes three months of employment at a software solutions company. Rama reluctantly applies for a job and gets selected, only to find out that Raghav has also joined the company at the same time. Since then, Rama vows to bully Raghav until he quits the company.

Many incidents take place, but none of Rama's schemes work against Raghav. As time passes, Rama gradually changes her opinion about Raghav and develops feelings for him. Meanwhile, Gajanan becomes increasingly worried after reading Raghav's horoscope and deliberately scolds him to prevent a feud between his two sons. One day, Girish becomes exasperated with Rama's irresponsible behaviour. He blames Lavanya for being such a bad influence to Rama and coerces her to let their daughter stay at the Purohit household for a month. He blackmails Lavanya by threatening to show the evidence of her attempt to abort Rama. It is revealed that Lavanya was utterly neglectful towards Rama until the latter was two years old, and the only reason Lavanya pampers Rama is to prevent her from loving her stepmother, Pavitra. Initially, the Purohits are not pleased about Rama staying with them, however Raghav and his parents encourage her to follow their family's conventions. Gradually, Rama adapts to the Purohit family's customs and falls for Raghav. Without Girish or Rama's knowledge, Lavanya arranges Rama's marriage with Manasi and Mandar's son, Varun. Varun, who is in love with Rama's step-sister, Arushi, informs Rama about the entire matter and the two decide to stop their parents. Lavanya is enraged when she can no longer manipulate Rama to her whims and vows to destroy the Purohit family for this.
