Maayka - the house that has its arms, heart and door always open for a woman. This is the story of three daughters and their family - their home (Maayka). Unfortunately, one day a bomb explosion takes place at Malhotra's house caused by a terrorist who was staying with the Malhotra family. The whole Malhotra family dies, including Raji (eldest daughter), the mother, the father, Prince (younger brother), and the grandmother. This create problems for the two surviving daughters, Mahi and Soni, who handle harsh lives at their in-laws' house. They cannot go back to their parent's house because now their 'Maayka' is dead. The question remains:::What happens to a girl when her Maayka is destroyed? Now who should she share her problems, that she used to share with her mother and father, with?

After that devastating incident, Mahi goes back with Shabd. Life for her was a standstill, but eventually she tries to come out of that nightmare. Shabad also tries to console Mahi and to make her feel better, he takes her to their honeymoon. On her honeymoon with Shabd, he finds out that Mahi is not modern and he then leaves and is mad since he feels Mahi lied to him. Soni moved in with the Khurana's. She then fell in love with Jeet, but Durga was trying for that not to happen. Jeet and Soni said I love you to each other, and Jeet said that when he comes back from his buissness trip he will tell everyone that he loves her and he leaves. Back at the other house, Suhaani is tricking Mahi into thinking that Suhaani and Shabd slept together. With that Mahi is very mad but Shabd's anger is less as he feels guilty for what he thought he did. Soon after, Shabd's Tai ji and Tau ji come as the other adults in the house. Back at the Khurana's house, Durga plans to get Soni married to another man knowing that Jeet will be heart-broken and hate her. Durga plans to get Soni married to a very old man and uses his son to make it look like she is getting married to him in front of everyone else. On the wedding day everyone finds out at the last minute and to save Soni from embarrassment, Veer says that he will marry Soni and with that they get married. Back at Mahi's house Mahi soon finds out that Kamya (Shabd's sister)is not crazy but she is scared badly by someone. While Mahi and Shabd fight a lot Mahi soon finds out that Kamya used to want to marry someone against her father's will, so one night her mother tried to help her elope and her father finds out. Her father then burns her mom alive in front of Kamya's eyes and threatens her badly and Kamya got burned from the fire. Ever since then she has been extremely scared and is made to act like she is crazy. After Mahi finds out, Shabd's father tries to burn Mahi in their farm house but at the right time, Shabd comes to save her and his father is arrested. After this Mahi leaves the house thinking Shabd has been unfaithful and he is devastated and goes into a state that is very bad. He doesn't talk or do anything, he just sits and stares waiting for Mahi. After Jeet comes back he is mad at Soni thinking that she betrayed him and he still loves her. He is very mean to her, but Veer doesn't know anything about this.
