Plot

Suhani, a vivacious dark-skinned girl hails from a middle-class family in Allahabad and is best friends with a beautiful and slightly vain Soumya. Yuvraj Birla, a rich man falls in love with and proposes to Soumya, who mistakenly thinks Yuvraj is in love with Suhani. Soumya herself is in love with Krishna. Soumya elopes with Krishna but their marriage ends shortly after because of Soumya's mother-in-law Latika, and sister-in-law Rakhi creating discord between the couple.

On the other hand, circumstances lead to Suhani's father blackmailing Yuvraj into marrying Suhani. Suhani's marriage starts with difficulties as Yuvraj does not love her and Yuvraj's grandmother and matriarch of the family, Chandrakala hates Suhani for her dark skin and her middle-class background. A few months later, after Soumya leaves Krishna's house, Suhani invites her to come stay with the Birlas. Chandrakala and Yuvraj's sisters-in-law - Ragini and Menka - try to get Soumya and Yuvraj together. Soumya starts falling in love with Yuvraj who does not return her affections.

Suhani is heartbroken at Soumya's intentions to break up her marriage but with Yuvraj's help, she is able to reunite Soumya and Krishna. However, Suhani leaves the Birla house feeling unloved in her marriage. When Mr. Saxena threatens the Birla family, Suhani comes to their aid. Chandrakala's relative Rohan falls in love with Suhani and at their wedding, Yuvraj realises his love for Suhani. Rohan steps out of the way and Suhani and Yuvraj finally unite.

Suhani's sister Bhavna is widowed and circumstances lead to her marrying Yuvraj's close friend Sharad. Bhavna and Sharad begin living with the Birlas. Chandrakala tries to create a rift between Suhani and Bhavna. A young girl saves Suhani's life and turns out to be the long-lost Gauri Birla. Suhani and Yuvraj decide to use a surrogate - Barbie who later tries to separate them and abducts Suhani. A missing Suhani is now presumed dead. Chandrakala forces Yuvraj to marry Barbie, but Suhani returns and reveals Barbie isn't pregnant. Consequently, she is thrown out of the house. Suhani and Soumya become pregnant. Barbie and Saajan plant a bomb in the Birla house with the resulting explosion killing Krishna and Gauri.

On their wedding day, Chandrakala replaces Yuvraj with Sambhav. Chandrakala tries to kill Suhani and Yuvraj tries to find the culprit; Sambhav protects Chandrakala. It is revealed the real culprit is Chandrakala's evil twin sister Lavanya, who has kept the real Chandrakala in captivity. Suhani exposes her truth and Lavanya is sent to jail. Unaware of Sambhav's role in the conspiracy, Suhani remains married to him. He mistreats and threatens her with harming Yuvraj to make her obey him.

Production

Development

The show was produced by Panorama Entertainment and writer Suzana Ghai,[7] and replaced Ek Ghar Banaunga.[8]

Nikhil Madhok, senior vice president of marketing at Star Plus said, "With Suhaani Si Ek Ladki, we hope to further strengthen our bond with the youth. Over the last one year, Star Plus' viewership amongst all demographics has increased significantly on the back of fresh engaging content. However, progressive young women have forged a specially strong bond with us. This show will resonate with them, highlighting their dreams and aspirations and a take on love that they will find refreshing".[9]

Speaking about her role, Rajshri Rani Jain said, "Suhani is simple, innocent, pure at heart. She finds good in everyone and loves her family but what makes her different from other characters is that she is funny, cracks jokes and does not cry. Suhani is soft-spoken but gives back to people, if they are mean to her, she sweetly tells them off."[10] Neha Yadav stated that she took inspiration from Kareena Kapoor in Jab We Met for her role of Soumya.[11] Sahil Mehta made his television debut with the series after his Bollywood career did not succeed.[12]

Casting

Due to the twenty-year leap in the storyline, actor Sahil Mehta quit the show because he "[did] not want to play an old character".[13] He later returned to the show by popular demand. Leading cast Neha Yadav and Debashree Biswas also left the show.[13][6] Ankita Sharma was initially approached by the show but had to pull out due to an accident.[14] She was replaced by Sristi Jain. After Mehta's exit, Gaurav Mukesh quit in March 2017.[15]
