The serial follows the story of Devyani who from humble beginnings went on to become a very successful businesswoman. The story begins with an aged Devyani, now a 67-year-old mother of two grown-up sons Jai and Sameer  and grandmother of Kunal, who is attending a ceremony to celebrate her life achievements. An attempt is made on her life when a gunman shoots her, but she survives as the bullet only scrapes her arm. The hitman escapes. It is later revealed that her sons plot to have her killed to inherit her wealth. There is also a mysterious character named Aarnav who wants to write a novel based on Devyani's life but seems to have an ulterior motive. The story shifts between Devyani in New Zealand and in Mumbai where a lookalike of Devyani named Avni (also Karisma Kapoor) is introduced. Her childhood friend Pakiya (Arshad Warsi) sees a picture of Devyani on a newspaper and tries to find a connection between Devyani and Avni. The story also does flashbacks of Devyani in her 20s and the men in her life including Arjun and Amar (played by Vikas Bhalla and Sanjay Kapoor).
