Plot edit
Thapki has a stutter, but does not let her speech impairment define her life. Her stutter prevents her from receiving marriage proposals. Eventually, she gets engaged to Diwakar, who abandons her on the marriage day and later marries Aditi (Thapki's sister). She always speaks with a pat so people named her Thapki.
Thapki finds employment at a TV station owned by the gentle and educated Dhruv Pandey. Soon Dhruv falls in love with Thapki and proposes. She agrees. His mother Vasundhara disapproves of Thapki upon finding out about her stutter. She orders her adopted son, Bihaan, to marry Thapki. She does not love Bihaan as much as her biological son, Dhruv. Bihaan, who loved his mother and could never defy her, unwillingly agrees. After many failed attempts, the marriage day arrives. Vasundhara emotionally blackmails Bihaan, aware of his weakness, saying that she'll kill herself if the marriage is not stopped. Bihaan has no choice but to give in.
He stops Dhruv by reaching the mandap and closing the door of his room. He unwillingly knocks Dhruv unconscious to prevent him from getting the mandap. Vasundhara, who is still unconvinced that this would prevent the marriage blackmails Bihaan to marry Thapki instead of Dhruv. Bihaan is shocked and heartbroken but agrees to make his mother happy. He wears Dhruv's sherwani and covers his face with sehra. His elder brothers Sanjay and Ashvin come to take Dhruv, but they take Bihaan instead because they think he is Dhruv. Bihaan takes Dhruv's place in the mandap and marries Thapki.
When Thapki learns the truth of her marriage with Bihaan, she is heartbroken. She decides to divorce him after 3 months. Thapki takes her place in Pandey Niwas as daughter-in-law. Vasundhra, searching for the perfect and ideal daughter-in-law and a suitable wife for Dhruv, comes across Shraddha. Shraddha, whose deceiving nature, convinces the Pandeys that she is good-natured, kind, and cultured. Bihaan and Thapki, however, see through her and discover her evil nature. Despite trying to inform Vasundhara, Bihaan and Thapki fail, and Dhruv and Shraddha marry.
Later, upon discovering that Dhruv still hasn't been able to move on from Thapki, Shraddha gets jealous of her and, aided by Vasundhara, tries to create problems in Thapki's life. She manipulates Vasundhara into believing that Thapki is evil. She believes Shraddha and continues to make Thapki's life harder. One day Thapki rescues Vasundhara from a falling deity. She regrets her attitude toward Thapki. Thapki and Bihaan fall in love.
Dhruv starts hating Vasundhra when he learns she is the one who forced Bihaan to stop his and Thapki's marriage. Dhruv's father announces the remarriage of Thapki and Bihaan. Dhruv repeats the story that Bihan did with him on his wedding day. The wedding day of Thapki and Bbihaan comes, and Ddhruv hits Bihaan and takes his place. Bihaan regains consciousness and stops their marriage. Dhruv kidnaps and forcefully tries to marry Thapki. Bihaan saves her and forgives him after he regrets his behavior.
Two months pass, and Bihaan's biological mother Kosi and step-father Naman enter. They want a kidney from Bihaan for their son Janardhan but discover that Bihaan was born with one kidney. Thapki tells him that Kosi wants the kidney, but Bihaan doesn't believe her. Kosi, to move Thapki out of the way to get Bihaan's kidney, falsely accuses her of attempting to kill her. Thapki tries to prove her innocence in front of the Pandey family, but with all evidence pointing against her, no one believes her. Enraged, Bihaan slaps Thapki. He severs all ties with her. Before leaving, Thapki writes a letter to inform Bihaan that she's pregnant, hoping that he'll not let her go, but her letter is found by Sankar, who is Kosi's maid. She loves Bihaan and wants to marry him. Thapki meets with an accident and loses her unborn child.
