## Plot

[edit]

The series revolves around two people who are madly in love with each other and how their lives change when a daayan enters their lives and creates havoc. The young Janvi Maurya, a well-educated and family-oriented girl from Ujjain, stumbles upon a dangerous ploy by an evil force as many unusual and mysterious happenings occur in her hometown. With her life on the line, she must unmask the identity of a daayan who is someone close to her. Accompanying her in this mission is her childhood friend and love interest, the wealthy and chivalrous Aakarsh Chaudhary. Janvi and Aakarsh marry with an intent to finish the daayan.

Later it is revealed that Asha, the maid, is Aakarsh's real mother and Aakarsh is the daayan. Due to her son's love, Asha is unable to kill Janvi. She joins hands with Saptroopa who erases Aakarsh's memory so that he forgets Janvi, his love, and marries Saptroopa instead. The daayan uses this opportunity to kill Janvi and offer her as a sacrifice to make herself immortal.
