Charu, a simple attractive village girl and a dedicated sweet maker of village Madhabpur (which is famous for sweets), becomes an object of envy for her stepmother, Jhumpa, and stepsister Chumki. With kindness and courage as her biggest strengths, she endures all hardships inflicted by them with a smile. Charu harbors a dream to fulfill her passion for making sweets. She yearns to open her sweet shop but due to circumstances, fails to do so. Fate intervenes when she marries Arjoman (a blind man), son of North Kolkata's Mullick family, the well-known sweet-makers of the city, and begins a love story like no other. After Arjo and Charu's marriage, Jhumpa, Chumki, and Sohini start plotting to separate them, but they stay united after overcoming millions of obstacles. However, one day, Arjo encounters a terrible accident after he is pushed from the stairs and he went into a coma. Charu is framed and thus, Mollika throws her out of the house. Charu decides to donate her eyes to Arjo to regain his consciousness, and so she fakes her death due to a terrible accident. Dejected by Charu's demise, the Mullicks, according to Sohini's request, introduces Mishmi as Charu to Arjo, after he regains his sight, to hide the truth. After regaining consciousness, Charu refuses to return to the Mullicks and continues to stay with Dr. Banerjee and his sister Amrita (Angshu's love interest), and his daughter Chini (actually it was Angshu and Amrita's daughter). One day, Arjo meets real Charu, unaware that it is his wife, and Charu too hides her identity and adopts a new name, Chandrima. Charu joins a blind school and Arjo cooperates with her. Meanwhile, Arjo and Charu come closer, which makes Mishmi realize that Chandrima is the real Charu and so she decides to kill her, with the help of her father Surjasekhar, who was Mullick's closest enemy and a named criminal. Arjo later identifies Charu and joins Charu's plan. Mishmi and Surjasekhar plots to destroy the Mulicks and Charu along with Amrita disguise themselves to ruin their plan. They kill Charu's father and attempted to kill Charu, but she is rescued by Arjo and thus after her brain surgery, she regains eyesight. Sohini and her son Ronit, who was also involved in Surjasekhar's plan, reform their ways. The Mullicks unitedly expose Surjasekhar and Mishmi to the police. However, Surjasekhar escapes from the jail, and Mishmi is released due to Ronit's request. Chumki divorces Angshu and he marries Amrita and adopts Chini. Mishmi starts plotting against Charu and Arjo and she bribes the doctor and proves to Arjo that he cannot become a father. This leads Arjo to misunderstand Charu's pregnancy, and so Charu leaves the house again. Arjo reforms his ways and brings her back after his requests. Mishmi misleads Charu's mother, Sheuli, who was alive, to kill Charu, and adds poison to the sweets in her factory and frames Arjo for the same. After this Surjasekhar kidnaps Chini, Arjo spots him and while trying to escape, he fakes his death in an accident. Later, Sheuli identifies Charu and confesses her crimes. Meanwhile, Surjasekhar returns to kill Charu and he throws a bomb inside Charu's car, which blasts, causing her death. Devastated and agitated, Arjo shoots Surjasekhar and thus gets arrested. Meanwhile, Jhumpa hits Charu, who actually had survived the blast and was lying half-dead on the ground, and snatches her jewellery. Mishmi, her brother Mohit, and Jhumpa plan to impersonate Mishmi's daughter as Charu's daughter to the Mullicks. Arjo mourns and laments Charu's death and decides to kill Mishmi and Mohit, after he gets released. On the other hand, Charu is rescued by a stranger named Deepjoy.After 18 years
Arjo is released from jail after serving 14 years and now he lives with a dual identity, as a photographer and a secret agent, Captain Azad. Charu loses her memory and now she adopts a new name, Anushree, and lives happily with Deepjoy and her blind daughter, Bhumi. Also on the other hand, the Mullicks raise Srimon, unaware that it is Mishmi and Ronit's daughter. At North-Bengal, Arjo arrives for a secret mission and he meets Bhumi on the way, unaware that it is his daughter. Bhumi, after meeting him, wishes to pursue photography and become a famous photographer just like him, but she is unaware that he is her biological father. At the past, it is shown that Deepjoy admitted Charu to the hospital, where he requests doctor to save both, mother and baby, unaware of Charu's identity. Then Charu gave birth to a baby girl and names her Bhumi. Bhumi arrives at Kolkata along with Arjo to study at its prestigious college, which makes Srimon jealous. However one day, he meets Charu but later gets a shock when he learns that Charu is Anushree, Deepjoy's wife and Charu's lookalike. Also the Mullick family is shocked to see Anushree resembling completely as Charu and they decides to testify her and so, they befriends Anushree and Bhumi. Meanwhile, Arjo learns about their new threat in their city, a terrorist operation conducted by a woman named 'Bari Amma' and Deepjoy was also a major part in that operation. Deepjoy uses Anushree (aka Charu) as his trump card to conduct the operations. Arjo leaves Kolkata for some days for his mission and he allows Anushree and Bhumi to stay at his house. During their stay, Anushree's actions starts reminding her of Charu, suddenly. Also, Bhumi and Srimon meets their new instructor named Ayush, with whom she falls in love, but he likes Bhumi and rejects Srimon. Meanwhile, Deepjoy falls for Anushree and decides to give up his evil ways, much against Bari Amma and Mohit's will. At the past, it is shown that Deepjoy was instructed by Bari Amma and Mohit to pose as Charu's husband and Bhumi's father, since she is suffering from amnesia. After returning to Kolkata, Arjo starts his mission to catch the terrorists and Bari Amma uses Anushree to conduct her operation. But suddenly, Anushree and Arjo come closer accidentally. And they goes hiding at Charu's hut in Madhabpur, after Arjo gets shot by Deepjoy. After some days, Anushree regains her memories and realises that she is the real Charu, and thus, reconciles with Arjo. Also Arjo learns that Bhumi is his daughter. Also Deepjoy learns from Bari Amma that Anushree is Charu Mallick. Furious, Deepjoy question Bari Amma about the reason behind hiding her identity, to which she replies that she wanted to exact revenge from the Mullick family. Further, he is instructed by Bari Amma to instigate Bhumi against Arjo. Also, Bari Amma reveals to Mohit that Surjasekhar is alive and brings him back. Later Surjasekhar reveals to Ayesha (aka Bari Amma) that Deepjoy is actually Mollika's eldest son who was separated from her by Surjasekhar, since birth as he replaced Mollika's baby with a dead one and handed him over to Bari Amma. Surjasekhar instigates Deepjoy against the Mullicks and instructs him to kill Swami Radhemohan, who was actually Sohini's husband and Ronit's father. Bhumi requests Arjo to stay away from her mother. Also Bhumi and Charu return to the Mullick mansion and the family goes for a trip as per Bhumi's request, as a part of a plan by Deepjoy. Deepjoy tries to kill Arjo, but is shocked when Surjasekhar proves him that Anushree had regained her memories. Further, Surjasekhar confesses the truth to Deepjoy that he is Mollika's eldest son, but weaves a false story and instigates him against Mollika. Arjo and Charu escapes, but suddenly Mishmi arrives in disguise and pretends to help them, as part of her plan. Charu reveals to Bhumi that Arjo is her father, which shocks the latter, and Arjo also reveals to the family that Anushree is actually Charu.

One day, her father finalises her wedding with Garry, an NRI boy, who was her aunt's brother's son.
