Suryakant Garodia is married to Savitri and has four daughters named Saraswati, Gauri, Durga, and Lakshmi. He is adamant about having a son that will continue the family's dynasty and inherit the Garodia wealth. As Savitri's body cannot bear another pregnancy, Suryakant marries Menka, who gives birth to Yuvraj. Suryakant abandons and neglects his daughters and Savitri, while spoiling Yuvraj who grows up insolent and arrogant.

Menka wishes to have sole rights to the household and wealth and seeks to get rid of the daughters as soon as possible by arranging marriages for them. She orchestrates Saraswati's marriage to Bhavishya Kapadia, an abusive man. However, Saraswati's childhood lover, Kshitij, saves her when Bhavishya attempts to set her on fire. After a lengthy trial, the sisters win the case. Saraswati, having avenged Bhavishya's actions and revealing the truth, becomes pregnant and eventually marries Kshitij.

The youngest and lively Lakshmi is to wed Satyakam, who also helps find clues against Bhavishya, but he dies, leaving her in a state of shock. She later meets Karan, who has come to the Garodia's to avenge his mother, who was harassed by Menka's brother Rasik. She marries him, but later realises his real intentions of revenge. She insists on her father's innocence to no avail. Karan completes his revenge, leaving Suryakant in mental shock who disappears by falling down a mountain. The family believes Suryakant to be dead. Lakshmi begins to hate Karan as he did not pay heed to her when she begged him not to avenge her father. Realising his mistakes, Karan sets on a conquest to find Suryakant alive. He then remarries Lakshmi after she forgives him, but soon dies thereafter due to acknowledging a family secret which, when exposed, brings shockwaves to the Garodia family.

Soon this secret is revealed: disclosing the fact that Menka deceived the family and gave birth to a daughter instead of a son many years before. The family try to find the long-lost daughter, only to find that she has been sold to a brothel in Mumbai and is one of the most sought out prostitute. Jhumki soon begins mingling with the family after many challenges. She also faces her own hurdles in love and marriage due to her past. Her first encounter is unsuccessful, but she soon meets Nikhil.

On the other hand, Yuvraj is trapped by a prostitute, Kajri, whom he disguises as a decent woman named Pavitra, to fool his family and marries her. He is greedy and rebukes his mother, Menka. The sisters discover his secret, and Suryakant disowns Yuvraj. However, he is eventually accepted back in the family, but he devises a plan with Kajri to take all the family wealth. The property is now in his name, and he throws everyone out of Garodia Niwas, living there peacefully with Kajri and the brothel owner, Rasili Bai. The daughters fight back to reclaim the property for their father. Eventually, Suryakant pays the price for Yuvraj's mistakes through his demise. Kajri begins to blackmail Yuvraj, controlling all the family wealth while enslaving the family.

As the show ends, Gauri is married to Akash Shah. Durga marries Bhavishya's lookalike Ranbir Dhawan, and Saraswati reluctantly accepts the alliance. Lakshmi marries a mentally disturbed man with a brutal history of violence who is later cured in Australia. Jhumki, who changed her name to Jhanvi, marries Nikhil and moves to her husband's home, facing patriarchal trouble and female oppression at her in-laws, which is eventually overcome with the daughters proving they are equal to men.
