Plot

Do Hanson Ka Joda is the story of Preeti, a young dreamy girl who wants to marry a Bollywood "Prince Charming". However, in a turn of events, she marries Suryakamal, an ordinary middle class man. Her bubbly cousin Sumi, on the other hand, marries the handsome Rishi. Both the girls find their marriage to be not what it seems as Preeti realises what a loving husband Suryakamal is, while Sumi is regularly assaulted by her violent husband Rishi.

After Preeti and Suryakamal pay a visit to his aunt and begin their romantic journey together, both the girls have to urgently return to their maternal house as Preeti’s father leaves the family due to Chachi Ji's cunning plans. Radhika urges Vijay to see Chachi Ji's reality, but in turn is insulted and has to leave herself. As Suryakamal’s stepmother passes away, Suryakamal promises her he will unite the family.

Meanwhile, Suryakamal's sister Sajni had an earlier pending operation, which now succeeds. Preeti and Suryakamal soon find out about Rishi and get him arrested. Sumi now begins to live with them.

Preeti finds an opportunity to enter into a dance competition with Pushkar, and after much reluctance, Suryakamal ends up dancing with her in the finale and they win the competition. Sajni is about to marry Pushkar, when Chunni and Suryakamal find his violent truth out and stop the marriage.

Further, the plot develops into Suryakamal's selfish family where a property dispute emerges as Preeti's brother-in-law Neeraj is charged by Ritu for domestic violence. He reveals that the property in fact belongs to Chunni, due to which they - mainly Ammaji, and Ritu - plot against Preeti. Suryakamal learns of this, but they murder him and hide his body so no one can know the truth. Preeti is devastated by his disappearance and tortured by her in-laws, but soon runs into a con man who is a lookalike of Suryakamal - Chandar. He is mistaken for Suryakamal, and later finds out his lookalike's truth, revealing that Suryakamal has in fact died. Ritu and Ammaji discover this and frames Chandar for Suryakamal's murder, but it is proved otherwise. During the investigation, Preeti's dead body is found as part of a conspiracy to get her property, but fail as their plans are foiled and the truth is unveiled.

The end shows Preeti and Suryakamal's ashes being submerged together.

She adores films especially the soft romance types. Preeti has not yet realized the harsh realities of life and for her everything is like what it is in films. This soft-spoken-bubbly lass is not only the apple of her parents eyes but is loved by all. Apart from being a dutiful daughter she is very innocent pure at heart. She hails from an upper-middle-class family of Vrindavan. She is traditional at heart.
