Plot

Set in Agra, the story revolves around Simar and Reema Narayan, two sisters with different personalities. While Simar dreams of becoming a singer, Reema aspires to be a model. Aarav Oswal and Vivaan Oswal are cousins who love and respect each other. They fall for Reema, but Simar falls for Aarav. Reema is chosen to be Aarav's bride but leaves on the wedding day for an event for her modeling career. Simar instead is requested to marry Aarav, but the Oswals reject her. Geetanjali (Aarav and Vivaan's grandmother) fixes Vivaan's marriage with Reema. After a lot of trials and tribulations, The Oswals finally accept Simar as their daughter-in-law.

However, Simar and Aarav's relationship is jeopardised when Aarav's old friend Dhami enter their lives. Dhami is obsessed with Aarav and claims to be his first wife. It turns out that Dhami is mentally unstable and she drugs Aarav and marries him. Simar tries to expose Dhami but all her plans backfire. On Geetanjali Devi's birthday, Dhami shows a picture of Gopichand (Geetanjali Devi's late husband) and his second wife who is actually Simar's music teacher, Yamini. Simar leaves her musical career for Geetanjali Devi. Dhami decides to commit suicide with Aarav, however Simar saves Aarav and Dhami dies after falling off the cliff.

Reema leaves The Oswal's mansion to complete her modeling career. However, when she returns, she starts acting strangely. Simar worried about Reema's behaviour. She decides to investigate and finds out that Reema has been captured by a yaksh named Rudra, and the one pretending to be Reema is actually Chhaya, her lookalike and Rudra's wife. Simar frees Reema and brings her back. However, it turns out that Chhaya had swapped places with Reema. Rudra learns that Simar is the reincarnation of Rani Yakshini Damini, the most powerful yakshini. Rudra tries everything to prevent Simar from remembering her past and attaining the power of Damini. However Simar gains the power and kills Rudra.

On their first wedding anniversary, Aarav wants to gift Simar something special. He saw a bangle which was in a statue's hand. The statue has a burn mark on it so no one was willing to buy it. However, Aarav likes it. The statue turned out to be cursed. It killed everyone one who hated it. Reema comes to know after some research that the statue was made by a man named Arindam, who was the heir of a famous Bengali family, The Roy Chaudary's. Arindam was in love with a maid named Labuni. However, The Roy Chaudary's refused their relationship and threw Labuni into fire. Labuni escaped but her face was scarred. Arindam had made a statue similar to Labuni and now Labuni's soul resides in the statue looking for someone who would love her despite the scar on her face. The man happened to be Aarav, and Labuni plotted to marry him in order to become alive. Labuni tries everything she can to marry Aarav. However, Simar manages to burn the statue. Labuni returns in her human form to marry Aarav. She becomes Geetanjali's maid and frames Simar for a murder. Aarav proves Simar is innocence and kills Labuni.

Gajendra (Aarav's father) had a daughter named Masoomi, from his girlfriend before his marriage with Sandhya (Aarav's mother). He had been raising her secretly in an orphanage for 25 years. A priest told Geetanjali Devi about a sin committed by one of the family members. To repent for the "sin", Geetanjali Devi distributes food to an orphanage which happens to be the same orphanage where Masoomi stays. Gajendra's truth comes out and everyone hates him except Simar. Masoomi overhears the conversation between Gajendra, Simar and Aarav. She comes to know about her father and runs away after Gajendra says that he will leave Masoomi for his wife and children. Masoomi meets Sandhya on the road who brings her to The Oswal's Mansion. Sandhya becomes heart-broken after learning the truth and keeps her distance from Gajendra. Masoomi accuses Aarav of snatching her happiness by stealing her father. Simar visits the orphanage to learn more about Masoomi. She learned that Masoomi had a twin sister named Gunjan who had died.
