In the first episode of Kundali Bhagya, Srishti (Shraddha Arya) is seen calling out for her elder sister Preeta as she waits for her on the train station. After seeing all the chaos and people on the station, Preeta (Anjum Fakih) asks Srishti if she would even be able to climb into the train before it starts. Srishti then thinks of ways to distract people standing in the queue and gets into the train slyly with her sister.
Shekhar, who has a crush on Srishti for the past two years help them carry their luggage to the train. He overhears Srishti threatening someone that he is her boyfriend and is happy to hear it, when Preeta tells Shekhar that her sister was just taking advantage of him being nice and would never call him after that day. Srishti sits beside the window to see her city Nashik for the last time, as the two sisters are leaving for Mumbai.
Preeta is a physiotherapist and had a nice job in Nashik. She then goes in a flashback, when she thinks about her job and when her sister used to sneak her out of the hospital for Preeta's fiancé - Deepak's birthday party. At the party she sees Dheeraj dancing with someone else, but walks up to him. Deepak introduces her to all his friends as her fiancé and also tells everyone that she is only his girlfriend since school time. Preeta and Srishti are shocked to hear him lying. He tells Preeta that if he tells his friends that he is going in for an arranged marriage, they would all mock him.
Later, Deepak takes Preeta insde to show her his house, while Srishti takes some alcohol drinks. Deepak tries to come close to Preeta and asks her for a kiss, but she doesn't want to get intimate with him. He then starts telling her about his friends who had gone on trips with their girlfriends, but Preeta isn't convinced with anything.
