Series overview

Plot

Veerpur, a village still practices female infanticide. Bhagwani Devi (Ammaji), the Sarpanch of Veerpur forbids females birth by any of her servants or daughters-in-law or the woman of Veerpur. Sia Singh stands against her. To silence Sia, Ammaji uses her son Raghav to woo and wed her. But he falls in love with and supports Sia against Ammaji.
Other pregnant women in Veerpur try to escape. Raghav and Sia save a number of female infants.

Sia becomes the Sarpanch, as she is voted from majority of female population in Veerpur. Ammaji's real daughter Amba, enters and unites with Ammaji who turns Raghav and Sia out. They return when Sia is pregnant in spite of Ammaji's attempts to terminate her pregnancy. As later Ammaji's old enemy Bhanupratap attacks, Sia dies while delivering twin girls, Dia and Jahnvi. Raghav dies in a fire. The twins separate—Dia lives with Ammaji and Jahnvi with Amba.

18–21 years later

Set now in Delhi, the well known Ammaji still brings Veerpur cultures there. Dia and Jahnvi meet in college and become friends. Amba dies during an attempt to save Dia, a witness in a court case, after revealing the twins' secret. Eventually, Ammaji accepts Jahnvi. Dia falls in love with and marries Bhanupratap's son Shaurya. Bhanupratap kidnaps Ammaji who later kills him, and this Shaurya leaves Dia.
They return to Veerpur.

Ammaji strives to save Jahnvi from a new cruel Sarpanch, Rana Rantej who orders her to marry his sons. Among them, Jahnvi only accepts Surya, who falls in love with her. Rana conspires against Veerpur, but after Jahnvi exposes him, he dies while trying to cover his loss. Ammaji gets involved with corrupt politicians and Dia takes her place and dies. Surya's brother Param kills him to avenge Rana's death. Jahnvi falls into depression.

Dejected and reformed, Ammaji renounces everything and hands over her powers to Jahnvi, who comes stronger than before and saves all. The serial ends as Ammaji plays with little girls in Veerpur and Jahnvi rules as the new Ammaji.
