Plot

The story follows the characters Dr. Ujaan Chatterjee, one of the best five heart surgeons in the world, and Hiya Mitra, an aspiring doctor. Ujaan is ill-tempered and solely focused on work and does not believe in love, while Hiya is outgoing and compassionate and believes in love. Initially, Hiya comes to Kolkata to attend the city's top medical college, Tulip. The college was a part of Tulip Hospital, owned by Ujaan's father, Dr. Samaresh Chatterjee. However, unable to pay the high fees, Hiya returns to her home village. Still passionate about helping people, Hiya begins working at a health camp in the village.

At the health camp, Hiya encounters Dr. Samaresh Chatterjee, who was suffering from longstanding knee pain. Hiya volunteers to cure Samaresh pain with ayurvedic treatment. Intrigued by Hiya's enthusiasm, Dr. Chatterjee invites her to his home in Kolkata for his treatment. There, Hiya is delighted to meet Dr. Ujaan Chatterjee and immediately idolizes him as her "guru," or greatest teacher. Ujaan, on the contrary, is disgusted to encounter such a talkative, interfering girl.

Time passes and Hiya and Ujaan grow close. Hiya is supposed to leave Kolkata after successfully curing Dr. Samaresh after a period of 10 days. However, she accidentally gets into the expired medicine racquet of Ujaan's step-brother Bihaan and she is accused with attempt to murder the patients. She is publicly humiliated and arrested. However, it does not sit right in Ujaan's heart and he proves her innocent.

After some time, Ujaan and Hiya become close, and Ujaan begins to feel destined to be with Hiya. However, Ujaan refuses to acknowledge this, as when he was a child, his father abandoned his mother, Basobi Chatterjee, and remarried Meenakshi. Growing up, Ujaan had to live separated from his mother, with the assumed identity of his father's adopted child. This greatly pained Ujaan, but he never exposed his feelings. Hiya becomes aware of this and tries to bring his mother back to him. Just as Ujaan is ready to express his true feelings for Hiya, she leaves him saying that she had never loved him. However, the truth is that she had incurable heart disease and believed Ujaan would not be able to bear this news.

Ujaan is heartbroken. At this time, Dr. Jhinuk Sen enters Tulip Hospital. She had escaped from her psychologically abusive fiancé along with his daughter Ollie, from his first wife.

Ujaan develops a bond with Oli after learning about her father's abusive nature, so he enters into a fake marriage arrangement with Jhinuk Sen for six months to protect her.

Hiya again encounters Ujaan at Tulip in spite of trying hard not to meet him. They get married and Ujaan successfully operates on Hiya, curing her of heart disease. Jhinuk Sen is acting like a psychopath because of Bihaan's wrong medicine but later she intentionally tries to separate Hiya from Ujaan's life and get permanent entry into his life. Even she tries to kill Hiya. A few days later, they reveal their marriage to everyone. Meanwhile, Ujaan's younger stepbrother Bihaan kills Dr. Jhinuk Sen whom he had mistaken for Hiya and drugged. Bihaan is arrested along with Meenakshi who had made several attempts in the past to harm Hiya. Nilima, who had earlier intended to marry Ujaan and had tried to destroy Hiya and Ujaan's relationship, becomes friendly. A few years later, Hiya becomes a doctor at Tulip Hospital. The season concludes as Hiya and Ujaan welcome their new daughter, Hiyaan.
