Bharat, a humble delivery boy, endures public humiliation and heartbreak when his girlfriend, Reshma, betrays him for the wealthy Rocky. On the brink of despair, he receives a mysterious inheritance from Golden Enterprises, a reward for a past selfless act, thrusting him into a world of immense wealth and corporate power. Bharat, also known as Sarvan, immediately faces class prejudice and challenges to his new authority, while his loyal friend Raju is assaulted for refusing to betray him. Embracing his role as a "rakshaka," Bharat vows revenge against Rocky and Reshma, striving to break into elite circles and protect his associates. His journey is marked by a tumultuous engagement to Reshma, which appears short-lived, and the emergence of allies like Girl 1, who defends him against classist rivals. Rocky, fueled by arrogance, orchestrates schemes to publicly shame Bharat, leading to high-stakes financial battles and revealing his own hidden affluence. Bharat later faces financial ruin, forcing him into a contract marriage with Raani to secure an inheritance and cover family secrets, living as a "live-in son-in-law." During this period, he navigates public humiliation from his ex-girlfriend Janvi, whose manager boyfriend's career he inadvertently destroys. Bharat also operates as the enigmatic "Maskman," forming a deep connection with Neenu, whom he rescues from abduction. He reveals his Maskman identity to Janvi, leading to a heartfelt confession of love, but his past catches up when a former lover resurfaces, and he is forced to marry Rani for corporate power. This impending union shatters Janvi, who is brutally kidnapped by her mercenary stepfather and sold to syndicate boss Raj Bhai. Despite Bharat's efforts and declarations of love, Janvi, heartbroken by his divided loyalties, fiercely rejects him. Concurrently, CEO Rani learns she must marry Bharat to save her corporate empire, a union that eventually blossoms into a heartfelt legal marriage. Further complicating matters, Jia orchestrates an identity swap to test Bharat's integrity, revealing a past debt of gratitude, while her friend Janvi, who posed as a wealthy heiress, confesses her elaborate deception. Feeling betrayed by Janvi's deceit, Bharat ultimately rejects her marriage proposal, highlighting the devastating impact of class and identity on love and solidifying his union with Rani.
