Her life takes a sudden turn when an arrogant businessman Akash Chatterjee comes in her life and threatens to take her house away, claiming the house to be his property. Later, to support her family members in times of financial crisis, she takes up the job as a P.A. to Akash, serving him with her honest efforts amid the various challenges turned tortures he inflicts upon her to satisfy his ego.^[2] Later on, Iraboti slowly discovers and brings about the emotional side of Akash, due to him having a troubled childhood, as his mother left him suddenly on his own, owing to his misery and rough temperament to develop. Amidst all this Iraboti's sister Jhelum tactfully marries Broto who was supposed to be Iraboti's fiancé. While all this is going on, Iraboti and Akash share a simultaneous love-hate relationship as they fight over the legal rights regarding the ownership of the house. Gradually, all the conflicts are settled when Iraboti marries Akash. Later on Iraboti gives birth to a daughter called Aarushi. However Aarushi gets kidnapped by Samrat lahiri and she is lost. Iraboti again gets pregnant but she is inconsolable. Later on she gives birth to a boy called Abhro.
