Lakshmi Bajwa is a kind-hearted naïve girl from Gurdaspur, a village in Punjab. After her parents' death, she and her sisters are taken to Mumbai by their greedy aunt, Rano, who decides to have Lakshmi quickly marry anyone so she can fulfil Lakshmi's father's will and take his property. Rano fixes her marriage with Balwinder (a drunkard goon) who gets obsessed with her but the marriage is cancelled. However, Lakshmi marries a Businessman, Rishi Oberoi. It is revealed that Rishi was coerced by his parents, especially by his mother Neelam, to marry Lakshmi for one year as they believed that Lakshmi, a girl with good luck who is referred as Bhagya Lakshmi could save him from death (a major flaw in his horoscope) as told by their priest. Rishi has a girlfriend named Malishka, who initially consented to this arrangement but as their marriage progresses, Malishka notices a shift in Rishi's behaviour – he's grown fond of Lakshmi. Rishi falls for Lakshmi because of her good nature but is unaware of his feelings. He feels committed towards Malishka. Before the year is up, Lakshmi learns the truth and leaves, despite Neelam's pleas. In court, Lakshmi and Rishi are told to stay together for three months before the divorce is finalized seeing Rishi and Lakshmi's bond. During the three months, Rishi falls in love with Lakshmi and soon realises this, but Malishka makes it seem like Rishi slept with her although he didn't, leading to Lakshmi finalizing her divorce and leaving Rishi. Rishi and Malishka's marriage is fixed.
However, Rishi brings Lakshmi back claiming that he will marry her to a nice man and help her get settled as a friend. However, Rishi proposes to Lakshmi and tells Malishka that he only loves Lakshmi, but Lakshmi rejects it after thinking about Malishka. However, Lakshmi's marriage is fixed with Vikrant, but it turns out that Vikrant was planning to deceive Lakshmi, he already had a wife but was marrying Lakshmi in order to make her surrogate to their child. They get to know about him on the day of the wedding, and the wedding is called off. Lakshmi again leaves the house due to being insulted. On Rishi and Malishka's wedding day, Rishi reveals his love for Lakshmi and breaks his wedding with Malishka. Rishi chooses Lakshmi over his mother and leaves his house with her. Finally, Lakshmi accepts her love for Rishi. Rishi and Lakshmi get married. As they leave for their honeymoon, Malishka causes Rishi and Lakshmi's accident and tries to kill them in anger. Both of them are saved, and Neelam finally accepts them and calls them back home. In their house once again, Rishi and Lakshmi are to marry, but Lakshmi faints just before the marriage, and turns out that Lakshmi has lost her mental stability.
However, Malishka plots against Lakshmi due to which she forcibly ends up in a mental asylum against Rishi's will. However she was brought back but Malishka again plots against Lakshmi and makes it look like Lakshmi has made Virendra's car's brakes fail.
Virendra and Lakshmi get into a car accident, leaving Virendra comatose. Lakshmi regains her mental stability but everyone, including Rishi, blames her for Virendra's state and throw her out of the house, much to Malishka's triumph. Lakshmi boards a train to return to her village but her train crashes and she is presumed dead by Rishi and his family but Lakshmi survives and finds herself pregnant with Rishi's child. Lakshmi returns to her village Gurdaspur and decides to raise her child single-handedly.

However, Rishi still lives with Lakshmi's memories, and Parvati's behaviour reminds him of her. Ayush (Rishi's cousin) has also married Anushka, though they don't love each other. Soon the student exchange program comes to an end with Rohan and Paro returning to their homes. When Paro receives a scholarship from Rohan's school, Lakshmi decides to shift back to Mumbai, much to Shalu's disapproval, to ensure a brighter future for Paro.

Soon, Neelam finds out that Paro is her granddaughter and withdraws the case. She files a case for Paro's custody from Lakshmi. Paro learns that Rishi is her father. She tells the Judge that she want to live with both her parents. The judge says that Rishi and Lakshmi must live together for at least 3 months for Paro. An insecure Malishka returns to her old self and starts to plot against Lakshmi in order to oust her from Rishi's life.
