What happened in serial before Leap

The show is set in Bhopal. Shravan Malhotra, a spoilt and indisciplined civilian teenager, sent to an army school to learn discipline where he meets Suman Tiwari, a fully disciplined and ambitious girl from an army family who is the daughter of Colonel Vijay Tiwari who is, in turn, Shravan's father Devraj's friend. Initially, both despise each other due to their different backgrounds.

Shravan dislikes the discrimination between army and civilian students and the conflicts this often leads to. Suman and Shravan are constantly at odds with each other as they try to prove the other's view wrong. However, despite their constant clashes, Shravan falls in love with Suman. He tries to confess his love to her but hesitates. Shravan's father has an argument with Suman's father, Vijay, and the two families grow to dislike each other. Several incidents take place, increasing this tension. Meanwhile, Suman learns about Shravan's feelings for her. She mistakes this to be just a teenage crush and decides to ask him to be her best friend instead. Shravan finally confesses his love to Suman. Hearing the confession, she decides not to remain in contact with him as she worries that not doing so will cause Shravan more pain, unaware that deep down, she has feelings for him as well. Separately, Anish challenges Shravan by placing Suman's honour at stake. In order to defend her, Shravan takes up the challenge. While the two are competing, Shravan falls from a high wall but Suman risks her own life and saves him. When questioned by Shravan about why she took such a huge risk just to save him, Suman is unable to answer and thus she realises how deeply she has fallen for him. The next day, she confesses her feelings for him. Later, they both go on a date where Suman was kidnapped and later saved by Shravan. A huge misunderstanding breaks out between both their families due to which Shravan ends up pathetically begging Suman's grandfather to not take the matter further. Suman watches this scenario helplessly and later breaks down as she hates seeing Shravan beg. They meet at the Suvan corner regularly to talk, study together, teach each other new things and give presents to each other. Later they permanently tattoo each other's name - Shravan on his chest and Suman on her back.

After months of secret love, they are finally discovered almost kissing by their families. Enraged, both families decide to send their children away so that they do not meet each other. Shravan and Suman decide to elope so that they can buy time hoping their family will understand their true love for each other and accept their relationship. Elsewhere, Vijay gets killed while fighting insurrectionists in a counterinsurgency operation. Suman regrets that she had been cold towards her father in their last meeting. Devraj is arrested on charges of making a low-quality bulletproof vest and goods for the army and is blamed for Vijay's death. Suman believes this and breaks up with Shravan, leaving him heartbroken.

From where this story is starting

Twenty years have passed.

Shravan's father was proved innocent and they went to Lucknow without telling anyone. No one from Bhopal now knew where they lived. Shravan joined the national defence academy and became an army officer. After five years, he got married to Ankita, his mother's friend's daughter. He appeared to move on finally and got permanently settled by heart, when three years later, they had a daughter Sitara. Who would be twelve in the story.

Suman became an army medical doctor and lived that life for two years only because after that, at the age of twenty, her grandfather got her married to Aneesh Bhan, her former classmate and Shravan's enemy as his last wish. Her life got ruined. He made her leave her job. He made her a servant. She was abused all the time. He was always out. He never took her where he was posted. Just kept her locked in the home.

Suman had only one support and that was her darling daughter Mini. Who would be seventeen in the story, that is, Suman gave birth to her just after a year of marriage. Mini was fearless, totally like Shravan, she didn't take nonsense from anyone and protected her mother. Mini was forced to see her mother get hurt because Suman always made Mini silent but Mini lost her cool when she got to know that Aneesh was in an affair with Devika, another former classmate of Suman and Shravan's ex girlfriend. Mini packed their bags and took Suman to live somewhere else after being enough insulted by the family, especially when Suman was told to shift to Mini's room as Aneesh was coming with Devika for the time being. Suman didn't got support in her house as her aunt and uncle disliked her after she ran away and Kanchan, her sister and supporter was out.

Mini and Suman boarded their train to Lucknow on a friend's advice for better living and job. The big thing happened when the job owner got them a place to live as tenants in Shravan's house.

And that's where the story begins.
