As the story unravels, we see that in the year 1964 Ranjit is a farmer and his best friend is Jagir. Ranjit is a widower with a 2 yr old son being taken care of by his maternal grandparents. Ranjit and Sukhaan meet and fall in love with each other. But those were conservative times and love marriages were taboo. A series of incidents later, Ranjit is killed and Sukhaan is forced to marry an army officer by her family and is widowed later. Destiny makes Harman fall in love with Preet – Sukhaan’s granddaughter. They, too, face the same problems. But they have a happy ending helped by Ranjit’s spirit and Sukhaan.
