The story traces the journey of Durga Choudhary, a girl from Barwala, who aspires to become a runner. It revolves around the sensitive relationship of a father and his daughter. Highlighting the realities of life, Durga's father, Yashpal Choudhary works as a peon in a school in Haryana. His only dream is to educate his daughter Durga for a better future despite the odds. But despite trying hard to study and prove herself, Durga can't reach Yashpal's expectations. Yashpal works as a school peon and has a progressive viewpoint when it comes to educating a girl or a boy – unlike his relatives. Durga, on the other hand, is a lively, positive twelve-year-old who enjoys her childhood in and around the corners of Haryana. She loves running behind kites and climbing on the mango tree. Besides enjoying her childhood, Durga strives to fulfill her father's dream. But she cannot understand the calculations and hence finds herself confused between alphabets and numbers. Influenced by her coach, Rajveer Rana, Yashpal allows Durga to become an athlete and has her admitted to a school in Hisar. Durga emerges as the winner in the national race but the runner-up, Arti, has drugs mixed in her food. So Durga tests positive for drugs when she is tested and is expelled from running for five years. So her family faces the villagers' ire and even her best friend Sanjay Singh Ahlawat (SP) believes Arti and shuns Durga, stunning Durga, who then quits running forever.
5 years later
After 5 years, Durga is now grown up and is responsible for the care of her family as well as her dreams. She meets SP again in college in Hisar. When SP finds out that Durga has joined the same college as him, he threatens her to leave the college as he still believes that Durga really consumed drugs to win the race, but the situation normalises when SP discovers the truth and they fall in love. Later Durga learns that SP's mother, Gayatri Devi, a politician and businesswoman from Hisar, had put drugs in her food five years earlier and exposes her to the media. So Gayatri misleads SP by attempting suicide, turning him against Durga. SP and Arti then plot against Durga. Amidst this, SP and Durga marry each other and Durga moves in with the Ahlawat family in Hisar. After being tortured by SP and his family, Durga learns that Gayatri was a national athlete Jassi who was expelled from the sports academy for getting involved in physical intimacy with her coach and helps her to keep it a secret. Arti tries to frame Durga in charges of sexual abuse of a doctor appointed by the sports authority but SP discovers this and takes the blame to save both Durga and Arti's dignity and in a weak moment Durga and SP consummate their marriage. SP meets with a deadly accident while dropping Durga at her state championship post, so he suspects Gayatri of foul play as she lies that she brought him to hospital (which actually Durga did and the former partially remembers because of his unconscious state due to severe head injury and bleeding at that time). He feigns insanity, then realises Durga's innocence and his mother's involvement in their suffering. He initially breaks all ties with his mother but reconciles after she realises her mistakes and encourages Durga to fulfill her dreams. The family coalesces and Durga begins to train for the nationals. Arti's father threatens to destroy Durga's family if she participates in the national race. He kidnaps her family on the day of the race but SP and Durga rescue them and Durga wins the race. Durga is admitted to the academy in Rohtak for being qualified for international championships. There SP is hired as a security guard due to their business being taken over by Arti's father in revenge. However a new competitor, Tanvi, the niece of the head director of the sports academy, plots to oust Durga from the academy to secure her first position. She even tries to defame Durga and SP for having an extramarital affair and tries to show Durga pregnant after learning of SP and Durga being married to each other as her final attempt. However Arti has a change of heart after her defeat at nationals and exposes her father's involvement with Tanvi as his attempt to retaliate against Durga. The series concludes with Durga succeeding in her attempts and SP and Durga regaining their family business and home from Purushottam's ownership and both the Chaudhary and Ahlawat families celebrating their victory in Hisar.
