She harbors a deep connect with music that gives her some solace in her lonely life, consisting mainly of her family, housework and her music school that she runs at home. She gets engaged and subsequently married to Abhimanyu Bose, a divorcee man in his early forties who has a teenage daughter, Juju from his previous marriage with Ananya. He marries Parameshwari at the condition that she will have to look after her daughter Juju and care for her, gaining her trust as a mother and will also have to handle the housework. In return, he will give her financial stability and security. Despite such humiliating treaty as the foundation of their marriage, Parameshwari, without any expectations from Abhimanyu and his family members, gives her utmost effort to win Juju's heart. She loves Juju as her real mother would and later, being touched by her selfless love, Juju to begins to love and respect her new mother Parameshwari whom she fondly calls "Mamoni". However, this makes Ananya, Juju's real mother insecure and she fears about losing her daughter. So, she entices Abhimanyu, tries to reconnect their relationship and Ananya begins living at Abhimanyu's household, much to Juju's embarrassment. After Paro helps her father-in-law understand his faults regarding house management and his relationship with his wife, her father-in-law, realizing his mistakes, begins to support Parameshwari. He asks Abhimanyu to show Ananya the door, but Abhimanyu revolts and due to his misconception that Parameshwari was involved in an illicit affair with his boss and her senior from college, Juboraj Sengupta, and due to repeated instigation from Parameshwari's ill-wishes Kamalini, Shreya and Katha; Abhimanyu further misunderstands Parameshwari and in a fit of rage, announces that he will divorce her. Juju stands by a heart-broken Parameshwari, and on her insistence and with Juboraj's help, starts her singing career to become self-dependent. Parameshwari Bose becomes a rising star and singing sensation overnight with the release of her first album and begins to actively contribute in running the family, when Abhimanyu becomes ill and loses his job. Taking Juboraj's help, Paro bears the entire expenses of Abhi's treatment; and Abhi finally realizes his mistake. He then asks Ananya to leave the house and starts his relationship with Parameshwari afresh.

Parallel tracks

In addition to Parameshwari's struggle, the series has also been showcasing parallel story arcs of Parameshwari's sister-in-laws- Shreya and Katha. Shreya's husband, Karna utterly humiliates her and cheats on her by trying to woo a sub-ordinate nurse at his workplace. When Shreya gets to know about the matter, Karna doesn't feel like giving her any explanation, for she is financially dependent on him. Shreya realizes that she can't patch up with Karna anymore by sacrificing her self-pride and decides to work on her. Paro supports Shreya in her tough time, by helping her get a job to earn a living. Shreya realizes her previous mistakes in the wrongs done by her to Parameshwari, and the two sort out their differences.

Katha develops a fatal disease and much to her shock and amazement, his doting husband Arghya and mother-in-law, Kamalini star misbehaving with her and taunt her for being a burden. Arghya doesn't anymore allow Katha to share a room with him as her disease is infectious. And a distraught Katha has to make her way to the store room, when even her own family refuses to stand by her. Parameshwari, however, forgiving all of Katha's previous misdeeds, lends a helping hand towards her in her times of need. Katha too whole-heartedly apologizes to Parameshwari, who becomes her emotional strength and inspiration, while she starts preparing for the I.A.S. exam to get a fresh job. Arghya, then, enters into a relationship with his colleague, Sreeradha, further hurting Katha, who now, following Parameshwari's footsteps, protests and decides to teach Arghya a lesson.

Parameshwari's dilemma

Some days after Abhimanyu gets a new job, Ananya visits him and informs him that she has decided to file a case in the court over the rights for Juju's custody. So that Abhi and the family doesn't have to go through the legal procedures and resultant degradation of their social prestige, Parameshwari keeping a heavy heart, asks Juju to leave the house and live with her mother Ananya till she becomes 18 years old, 3 years later. Juju is shattered and extremely disheartened at Paro's request, however obliges her by leaving the house with Ananya. Ananya who is a perfectionist thoughtlessly imposes her rules and regulations over the child Juju, who perceive that no one, even Paro, is her near one and well-wisher and goes into a life of self-imposed salvation in Anaya's house. Paro repents her decision of sending Juju away and when the latter pays no heed to her earnest calls and repeated words for forgiveness, a remorseful Paro decides to withdraw herself from singing so that she can penance for the "sin" she did by hurting her child, Juju. Meanwhile, Abhimanyu proposes her to have a child together, but Paro declines his proposal. Her self-imposed starvation leads her health to decline to a dangerous extent, but, is nursed back to health by Juju. Paro and Juju now clear up all their misunderstandings, and Juju starts living with the family again, much to Ananya's chagrin. Meanwhile, Parameshwari receives the " Sharno Kontho " award.
