Plot


Season 1

Rohit Mehra, a chartered accountant is married to Poonam for twenty-two years and have two daughters named Bani and Nikki. On the surface, they are a happy couple. But Rohit has an affair with Ananya Sharma, an interior designer. They meet privately and carefully keep their relationship under wraps. However, the secret is soon discovered. The family is torn apart, and Rohit's kids start loathing Ananya. Torn between a loyal wife and lover, Rohit decides to divorce Poonam and legitimize his relationship with Ananya through marriage. After several arguments, Rohit and Poonam are legally separated, and he marries Ananya. Shortly after her marriage, Bani, Rohit's elder daughter hits depression due to her unhappiness in her marital life. Rohit goes back to his family to extend his support to his daughter through this difficult phase. This makes Ananya insecure, leading to everyday chaos at home. She feels neglected by Rohit who is still deeply connected with his former wife and children. Upset at the turn of events, she writes a letter for Rohit and leaves the house.


Season 2

Upon reading Ananya's letter, Rohit feels betrayed as he had left his family for her. He goes out on a search and fails to locate her. Soon, he learns that she is in
Doha Doha ( ar, الدوحة, ad-Dawḥa or ''ad-Dōḥa'') is the capital city and main financial hub of Qatar. Located on the Persian Gulf coast in the east of the country, north of Al Wakrah and south of Al Khor, it is home to most of the coun ...
, and immediately takes off to make it up to her. After several tries, he convinces her to come back to India, where they set up a new life together. Everything goes back to normal again. However, Rohit's first wife Poonam starts dating a young man named Abhimanyu. In subsequent episodes, Bani realizes that she had never loved her husband and wants to divorce him. Meanwhile Rohit hits a financial crisis but keeps Ananya out of the matter. Ananya learns of this through Poonam who unintentionally spills it out. She feels hurt that Rohit never felt comfortable to share his troubles with her. On the other hand, Poonam is uncomfortable with the love she is receiving from Abhimanyu. She is going through a difficult period of having a menopause, which has made her emotionally unstable. Eventually she comes to Rohit for help, and they end up having a one-night stand. Poonam tells Rohit not to let Ananya know of the incident, as she would be very upset and end their relationship. On Christmas Eve, a pregnant Ananya discovers the truth at a party. Rohit tries to explain, but a furious Ananya is adamant. She decides to not disclose to Rohit about her pregnancy, and immediately leaves for Doha, heartbroken.


Season 3

It has been four years since Ananya left Rohit. She has a three-year-old son, Kabir and still lives in

. Meanwhile, Rohit has turned into a drunkard and philanderer. One day, Ananya learns that her company in India, which she had given to Bani has hit a rough patch. She comes back to India and after a confrontation with Bani, decides to fix the issue with her. She meets everyone, including Rohit, that leads to an altercation. She makes up her mind for divorce but Rohit bluntly refuses. Rohit and Poonam's younger daughter Nikki's marriage gets fixed. On the day of the wedding, the police arrives at the venue and arrests Rohit for allegedly kidnapping a lady' young daughter, who turns out to be the girl he is dating. Everyone tries to get him out of jail in time for the wedding, but the police refuses to give him bail. On the day of Nikki's marriage, Rohit confesses to his family that he had indeed married the girl he was dating. Everyone is shocked. Ananya feels sad and wants to leave. Next morning, the daughter's mother comes to arrest Rohit again. She tells her daughter that the couple cannot be married since Rohit is her sister's husband. It is revealed that the woman is Ananya's mother, who had left her in a foster home when she was a baby. Her mother provided a huge amount of money to pay for Ananya's expenses but never met her. Ananya lived her life alone without parents and siblings which is why she has been so broken. The girl, in front of everyone, accepts that Rohit helped her in this matter because he loves Ananya so much. And that she and Rohit were not married. She then leaves. Ananya misses her flight and decides to live in India with her family. She goes to meet Rohit with her son Kabir. He apologizes for everything and wants another chance, but she refuses to reconcile. At last, they get divorced. After separation, Rohit comes to meet her. In a flashback, she says "I don't want my husband back. I want the man I love, Rohit, when we had great loving memories".
