Haasil (Indian TV series)
Haasil was an Indian drama television series which was broadcast by Sony TV and produced by Siddhartha P. Malhotra under the banner of Alchemy Productions since 30 October 2017 up to 23 February 2018.
Actor Zayed Khan makes his television debut with this show. The show also stars Nikita Dutta and Vatsal Sheth.
Plot
Haasil is the story of two brothers Ranvir (Zayed Khan) and Kabir Raichand (Vatsal Sheth), whose lives get entwined with a smart, righteous lawyer Aanchal Shrivastav(Nikita Dutta).
The Raichands are a rich and influential family where the male head Jatin Raichand is often sidelined by his assertive wife, Sarika. Their sons Ranvir and Kabir mean the world to them. Ranvir - the older brother - is a rational, generous, and selfless tycoon while Kabir is the opposite - protective of his loved ones (especially his brother) but a playboy and a brat.
Meanwhile, Aanchal hails from a middle-class background. Her family comprises her mother Rupali and younger brother Aman. She lost her father at a young age. She runs an NGO and takes up a case of a rape victim, who turns out to be Ranvir's secretary. She assumes him to be guilty and gets him arrested. The Raichands, except Ranvir, develop an instant dislike for Aanchal. As the case proceeds, the victim is murdered. However, Kabir brings evidence into the court, implicating the victim's boyfriend, who teamed up with her to con the Raichands for money. Ranvir is immediately released but Kabir vows revenge on Aanchal.
Initial misunderstandings are cleared up and Ranvir hires Aanchal to work for their company where she rubs off his cousin, Gaurav, the wrong way. Ranvir falls in love with Aanchal but Kabir woos her to exact revenge not knowing that Ranvir loves her. Aman is suspicious of Kabir. Later, it is revealed that Kabir planned to lead Aanchal on and dump her right before their wedding to humiliate her. However, Kabir genuinely falls in love with Aanchal. Sarika doesn't approve, because Aanchal's horoscope says that her first husband will die soon. She wants Kabir to marry Naina but Ranvir is shown taking Kabir's side and supporting Kabir and Anchal's love by going against Sarika.
When Aanchal is shot at, Kabir takes the bullet for her. It is revealed that the bullet was shot by Gaurav, who was acting on the instructions of Sarika. Naina also has an ulterior motive because she wants Kabir's money to repay the debts incurred by her brother Rohan. Meanwhile, Ranvir is diagnosed with brain tumor. He suggests that Aanchal marry him first so that the prediction of her first husband's is fulfilled and she and Kabir can live happily ever after.
But Ranvir is the master manipulator - he bribed the family priest (pandit) to make the false prediction, manipulated Gaurav and then killed him, and then faked a brain tumor - all for Aanchal. He even hands over his title as CEO to Kabir. Aanchal and Ranvir, meanwhile, are still married and an upset Kabir blames Aanchal - accusing her of loving a loser and marrying the winner. Jatin reveals to Aanchal that neither Ranvir nor Kabir are Sarika's biological children. Kabir was his son with his first wife who died. He then married Sarika and they adopted Ranvir.
