Plot

A middle-aged housewife, Arundhati, has dedicated her life to her husband and children. Her husband Anirudh has an affair with his colleague, Sanjana. Arundhati's elder son, Abhishek marries Ankita while her younger son, Yash falls in love with Sanjana's niece, Gauri.

Arundhati's friend, Devika tells her that her family takes her for granted. The family plans a remarriage of Arundhati and Anirudh, to mark their 25th anniversary. Sanjana tries to marry Anirudh on his wedding day with Arundhati but in vain. In anger, she comes to tell Arundhati the truth about her and Anirudh's affair on their wedding day. However, Anirudh stops her and expresses his love for her in his bedroom and Arundhati sees. Arundhati breaks down and decides to retaliate against Anirudh for his betrayal.

Arundhati changes herself and learns all the things that she remains to learn. Soon, Anirudh and Sanjana's relationship is exposed to the Deshmukh family, while Anirudh proposes to Sanjana on her birthday. The Deshmukhs blame Anirudh, who later moves to Sanjana's house. Later, Arundhati's daughter, Isha becomes depressed, which makes Anirudh return to his family.

Anirudh and Arundhati finally get divorced. Sanjana divorces Shekhar and marries Anirudh. Sanjana continuously taunts Arundhati, trying to humiliate her and fails in her attempts to turn the family against her. Arundhati's college friend, Ashutosh, enters and gives Arundhati moral support. Abhishek divorces Ankita and decides to marry his fiancée, Anagha. But before their marriage Anagha's obsessive lover, Girish, arrives and disrupts their lives, but Yash goes to try to get him to stop, later coming to fist blows. He even attempts Yash, Anagha and Arundhati's murders but is caught in the act by Ashutosh. The couple gets married. Later Arundhati leaves the Samridhhi Mansion due to repetitive character assassination by Kanchan, Aniruddh, Abhishek and Sanjana while Yash also decides to leave with her. They move to a rented house while Sanjana tricks everyone into signing property papers on her name.

This action of Sanjana causes a lot of rift in her and Anirudh's relationship. Anirudh wants to divorce Sanjana, but he is unable to do so. Anirudh's true face comes out to Sanjana, while the Deshmukh family stands firmly behind Sanjana and Sanjana realizes her mistakes, she supports Arundhati.

Later Anagha gets pregnant and gives birth to a girl whom the family name Janaki ("Chakuli"). The family learns about Abhishek's extra marital affair but forgive him later when he reforms himself. Isha and Anish (Ashutosh's nephew) fall in love. Arundhati and Ashutosh realise their love for each other and decide to get married. Anirudh tries everything to break Arundhati's marriage, but all of his efforts go in vain and finally Arundhati and Ashutosh get married happily.

Development

Rajan Shahi, who produces the series, decided to remake it in Hindi as Anupamaa for StarPlus stating, "This interesting concept around a mother's journey has been so inspirational that Star wants to bring it in Hindi too."[8] [9]
