Set in Bhopal, Mariam Khan is an imaginative and curious 8 year old dyslexic child who doesn't take things at face value.[5] She is the youngest member of a large family. Her grandfather is the patriarch. She idolizes her uncle and foster father Majaaz, an idealistic journalist and newspaper owner. She plans to be a reporter and shares an emotional bond with Majaaz. Her mother's only concern is marrying off her daughters, while Mariam plans to become a reporter. However, many years later, Mariam's real mother or Majaaz's sister, who left for Pakistan after marriage, comes back to retrieve Mariam. Emotionally blackmailing the family, she takes Mariam to Pakistan. Unaware, she learns that Majaaz is her uncle and she is bought here to use her bone narrow on her brother. In the hospital, Mariam's mother leaves her phone in Mariam's cabin. She uses it contact her family, thus, she is saved. Unbeknownst to the younger generation, Majaaz is accused of terrorism and shot dead after Rehaan gets shot dead due to misunderstanding plotted by Rifat that he belongs to terrorist group while a pilgrim, Anjum takes away young Mariam.

10 years later[edit]

Grown up, Mariam adopts the name Manjeet Kaur to escape her past and begins living in Amritsar and working as an independent cab driver. While taking her passenger to meet Fawad (in fact her foster mother Madeeha's fraternal nephew), she is shocked to see Majaaz's photo in his hand. She suspects him & tries to learn more of her father.

Later on, Mariam learns that her ostensibly dead family is actually alive and her house didn't burn down. Madeeha's sister-in-law, and Zain and Fawad's mother, Rifat misled Mariam that they died so that she could own the ancestral home in her name. Mariam and Fawad fall in love. Alive, Majaaz turns out to be innocent and joins them. Fawad and Mariam get married.

Fawad and his ex-girlfriend, Bhakti's daughter, Cheeku enters. Later, it is exposed that she isn't his daughter. In reality, Rifat ask Bhakti to say so, but she refused. She then killed Bhakti and created a fake story that Cheeku is Fawad's daughter. Rifat is arrested. Mariam and Fawad adopt Cheeku, and everyone lives happily thereafter.

Production[edit]

The show took over the time slot of Yeh Hai Mohabbatein and the latter was shifted to late night slot.[3]

In September 2018, actress Priyanka Kandwal quit the show as she doesn't want to age after the leap. In the same month, actor Avinash Mishra quit as he was dissatisfied with the screen time given to his character.[8] Paras Kalnawat also quit the show as he was disappointment with the makers as they didn't offer him the lead character role as they promised after makers did a sad ending to his character Rehaan, the worst suffering character of show by his tragic death.[9]

It initially started Deshna Dugad. Owing to low ratings, the storyline took a leap which started Mahima Makwana and Param Singh.[10]
