Plot

The story is based in Bhuj, Gujarat. Gopika is a sweet and talented girl who lives with her uncle and aunt. Being an orphan, she was raised by her uncle, but her aunt, Ramila always had issues with her. She treated her as a mere servant and made her do all household chores. Ramila's daughter Aashi is manipulative and wants to marry Saksham Modi for his wealth. Saksham's mother, Mithila is in search for a suitable bride for her son, who can take care of her husband and family matter properly. To find suitable brides, Mithila has hosted a jewelry competition. Aashi and Ramila manipulatively take away Gopika's sketches and register them under their name.

Gopika, who meets Mithila at the temple, visits Modi Mansion to return her belongings, which she left at the temple. Elsewhere, Mithila tests Aashi to determine her worthiness to become Saksham's wife. Meanwhile, a fire breaks out there, trapping Mithila. Gopika saves Mithila's life and in this commotion, leaves her slipper at their house. Mithila thinks that such a girl, who prioritizes others over herself, should become the Modi family's daughter-in-law. She seeks the slipper's owner to fix her alliance with Saksham. Ramila misleads Mithila into believing that the slipper belongs to Aashi. Later Modis finalize Aashi and Saksham's marriage. Elsewhere, Ramila forces Gopika to marry Jignesh, a gully boy. Jignesh attacks the Modis in search of Gopika and is arrested. During the commotion, Gopika's bravery leads Mithila to decide to make Gopika, not Aashi, her daughter-in-law, surprising everyone. Soon, Gopika marries Saksham and Aashi marries Chirag.

After marriage Gopika despite being the elder daughter-in-law always takes orders from younger daughter-in-law Aashi which leads Mithila to doubt her decision of choosing Gopika for Saksham. When Mithila learns the reality through Baa, She ousts Gopika from the Modi Bhavan. However, Baa stops her and requests Mithila to let Gopika stay as a guest till Diwali. Later, Baa learns the truth that Gopika is the jewelry designer and not Aashi. So, she makes a plan to give a turnover to Gopika and naming her as Radhika. Few days later, according to the headlines, Saksham died in the plane crash, but he didn't go to that flight. Later Priya, Saksham's ex-lover comes and creates trouble for Gopika and Mithila. However Gopika struggles and wins over Priya and reunites with Saksham.

Later, it is revealed that Mr. Modi and his wife kept Gopika's mother as a hostage in their house by giving her the wrong pills and making her mentally ill so that the woman doesn't reveal or remember that Saksham's father Mr. Modi had murdered Gopika's father twenty years ago. In the eyes of media, Gopika's mother was a murderer. Gopika learns of this and is heartbroken, she vows to avenge her mother's kidnapping and to find her escaped brother, Munna, who ran away in childhood after getting embarrassed. However, Mr. Modi has a deeper secret which he doesn't wish to reveal to his family members, so it is evident that he is not the murderer either. He is arrested. Munna returns with his family and decides to annoy the Modis for which he somehow manages to get control over their mansion and business, thus the Modis are ousted from their own house. Later, it is revealed that a 8 years old Saksham has killed Gopika's father accidentally while playing with the gun and this is the truth Mr. Modi was hiding. Saksham is arrested. Gopika is heartbroken. However, eventually things are settled correctly, Mr. Modi and Saksham both are bailed out of the prison. Munna forgives the Modis and is united with them.

After that, a strange girl named Keshari is sent to the Modi house. Initially thought to be Saksham and Shradhha's daughter, she is revealed to be the illegitimate daughter of Chirag. Ashi is heartbroken and decides to terminate her marriage with Chirag and leaves the Modi House. Shraddha is adamant to marry Chirag. Aashi decides to divorce Chirag but Meethila gets the issues sorted out; Chirag reveals to Keshari that he is her biological father, not Saksham. The Modis allow Shraddha to stay at their end. The Modi family lives happily ever after.

While most of the components of the show have been borrowed from Saath Nibhaana Saathiya, few new additions are also seen in the series. Gia Manek and Mohammad Nazim was roped in for the lead role Gopika and Saksham, while Vandana Vithlani, Nitin Vakharia, Raj Kumar and Minal Karpe also joined the cast. Finally, Rupal Patel was also cast as Mithila. Sumati Singh was also roped in to play a prominent role in the show, Aashi.[10] In November 2021 Rajkumar (who essayed the role of Chirag Modi) quit the show since he barely had any screen time and he thought that he had nothing else to explore in his character. He was replaced with Diya Aur Baati Hum fame Varun Jain[11]
