Plot
Saloni is a 24-year-old woman who has a dark complexion. The story shows how Saloni's courage and strength lets her move beyond her complexion and search for her own identity. The tagline "Saloni ka Safar" means "Saloni's journey".
At the beginning of the story, Saloni's mother treats Saloni's sister Shubra and brother Samar better than Saloni because they have fair skin. Because of her complexion, Saloni goes through a lots of tribulation to achieve her mother's love.
As time goes by, Saloni gets married to rich man, Nahar Singh, who was supposed to be engaged to Shubra, but chose Saloni instead because of her maturity. Because of this, Shubra hates Saloni even more. As time passes, Shubra falls in love with a guy name Karan, who wants to take revenge on her because she slapped his face in front of all of his friend at school.
Saloni knows Karan's intentions and tries to warn Shubra, but Karan instigates Shubra by telling her that Saloni is envious of her happiness. He tells her that they will get married and lures her to have intimate relations with him. A few days later, Shubra finds out that she is pregnant and tries to hide this truth, but eventually her family finds out. Knowing that Shubra is pregnant before marriage, her family is ashamed and worries that who will marry their daughter now. Saloni is very tense about Shubra's misdeed. Seeing Saloni stressed out, Neel (Saloni's childhood friend) agrees to marry Shubra.
Even after getting married, Shubra sees Karan who promised her that they will run away and get marry. "Truth is never hidden for long": Shubra realizes that Karan has used her against her family. But now it is too late to repent on her mistakes — Neel learns that she is having an affair with Karan, and he leaves her. Shubra ends up marrying Kunjan Pratap Singh who was earlier engaged to Saloni.
At Saloni's in-laws's house, her husband's aunt, Kuki Kaki comes to stay with them. She wants to break Nahar and Saloni's relationship because he didn't marry to the girl who she chose for him. As the story takes turns, it is discovered that Nahar was earlier married to a girl name Chandini, whom he killed because she wanted to marry Nahar's older brother Brijesh. As the story unfolds, it is discovered that Kuki Kaki killed Chandini and blamed Nahar for it.
Tara's sister Urvashi comes as a surrogate mother since Tara cannot conceive; when it comes to give the child to Tara and Brijesh, she runs away with the baby because she wants to marry Brijesh. Neel comes back and wants to obtain his childhood love Saloni. He hires a guy name Yug to create a rift in Saloni and Nahar's relationship. He makes Nahar think that Saloni is having an affair with Yug. Nahar also comes under Neel's target, and he throws Saloni out until the misunderstanding clears up.
As the story goes through many phases, Abhi, the son of Saloni's aunt Manno Bhabhi comes. After a while it is discovered that he is a traitor and not really her son. He marries Nahar's sister Pia and rapes her. Finally he is thrown out. Then Urvashi comes back and blackmails Saloni, who is pregnant. She says "I will give back the baby to the family if you get out of Nahar's life, and don't tell anyone about this." As Saloni saw her sister-in-law, Tara, crying for her baby every day, Saloni agrees with the bet of Urvashi. To acquire the baby, Saloni makes the family hate her and is thrown out. But Urvashi deceives Saloni and doesn't give the baby back. Saloni goes to protest. Aditi, Nahar's older sister, follows her and finds out the truth. She apologises and wants to take Saloni back to the house and tell everyone the truth. Urvashi alters her car's brakes, and Aditi gets killed and Saloni loses her memory.
Now Saloni gets admitted to Nishi's (Neel's fiancé's) hospital, and Neel, who is good now, with the help of doctor Nishi, bring her back to her senses. She has memory loss, but Nahar finds her and everything is okay. Urvashi has married Nahar's uncle and says if they tell him about this all, she will kill the child. Urvashi does not know that Saloni is alive. The family fools her into thinking that Saloni is Chirmi and bringing her back into the house, where they plan revenge. Urvashi finds out, and then the baby is found and Urvashi is in jail.
Saloni tells everyone that it would not been easy exposing Urvashi if Kshitij (Nahar's cousin) wouldn't have helped them. Saloni finds out she has a half-sister named Kalika. Kalsika swaps Saloni's baby with a dead baby; Urvashi plots to kill Nahar with the help of Nahar's childhood friend Varun who is a doctor.Varun tells Nahar that he doesn't have much time left on Earth and gives him some medicine but its actually poison to kill Nahar.
