Ichchenodi is a story of sibling rivalry set within the premise of a love triangle. Ichhenodi basically revolves around a story of two sisters, Meghla and Adrija, and how they entangle themselves in a relationship with their love interest, Anurag.

Meghla, who finds the essence of her life in music, is fond of her elder sister Adrija, and loves her above anyone else. The sisters get caught up in a love triangle making their life go upside down. Meghla is proud of her elder sister Adrija as she is a smart, beautiful girl, who is a topper as well when it comes to study. However, Adrija despises her since childhood and hates her after she discovers that Meghla is not her own sister but adopted. Chandan loves both Meghla and Adrija equally while Mahua, Chandan's wife loves Adrija more since she is their own daughter and Megha is adoptive. Chandan is proud of Adrija for being a topper but he also supports Meghla's passion for singing and wants her to become an established singer. Adrija begins to love Anurag madly but Anurag falls in love with the simple and docile Meghla, and her passion for music. Meghla refuses him and tries to convince him to marry Adrija but circumstances compel them to marry each other. Adrija creates many misunderstandings to destroy the marital life of Meghla and Anurag. Chandan tries his best to reform Adrija but Adrija pretends to be innocent. Chandan tries strict measures and warnings but nothing seems to work. Adrija even tried to create misunderstanding between Chandan and Meghla but instead their relationship became stronger. Chandan gives Adrija a final warning and says that he will disown her if she continues like this. Adrija still doesn't seem to change.

Adrija is finally successful in making Meghla leave Anurag's house after unlimited misunderstandings. Anurag's mother Malobika trusts Adrija and misunderstands Meghla. Chandan supports Meghla and stands beside her even when everyone is against her. Adrija feeds false stories and emotionally manipulates a depressed Meghla to send divorce papers to Anurag. However after sending the divorce papers Meghla tries to kill herself. Chandan is devastated and blames Anurag and his family. Anurag is extremely guilty and apologies to Meghla along with his family for misunderstanding her. Once Meghla recovers she reveals how adrija emotionally manipulated her and said countless lies to make her feel worthless and sign the divorce papers. Depressed and frustrated Chandan disowns Adrija. Anurag and his family apologies to Meghla and Meghla decides to stay with them. Adrija collaborated with her college friend Subhankar and planned to character assassinate Meghla and kill her. But eventually she fails as Subhankar repents. Chandan and Anurag's cousin Piklu reveals the truth and Chandan gets Adrija and Subhankar arrested. Chandan motivates Meghla to be a strong person but he is depressed for Adrija. Anurag and Meghla face issues due to the aftermath of the incident but eventually reconciles. Later Anurag's distant relative Nandini creates countless problems as apparently she can't see anyone happy. But still Anurag and Meghla's love wins.

After few months Adrija is bailed out by her parents. Adrija seems depressed so Chandan and Mahua takes her for a trip and constantly motivates her to start her life afresh. Anurag and Meghla coincidentally arrives at the same place for their honeymoon. Coincidentally Adrija and Anurag meets and Adrija unleashes her wrath on Anurag. Out of frustration, she pushes Anurag from a cliff, who is then saved by Tua, also a passionate singer. Anurag loses his memory in the accident and is named "Vikram" by Tua and her family. Tua starts loving Vikram, without knowing his past. Adrija now marries Piklu and enters his family to torture Meghla and makes her life hell by instigating Malobika against her, rendering Meghla responsible for Anurag's supposed death and portrays Meghla as a cheap and characterless girl in the eyes of the family members. Nandini helps Adrija in isolating Meghla. A distraught and lonely Meghla finds solace in music and is pacified by her Guru Maa, who turns out to be her own biological mother. Also Chandan constantly supports and motivates Meghla. She soon finds out that Anurag is alive and after many obstacles, they finally reunite (as Anurag's memory returns) on the day of Anurag and Tua's marriage. Anurag reveals how Adrija tried to kill him but except Anurag's elder brother Bumba and his wife Kajori, everyone else thinks that Anurag is misunderstanding Adrija. Meghla despises Adrija after hearing what she did to Anurag. She decides to break all relations with her and Chandan rejects Adrija as his daughter. But Malobika blames Meghla for not informing her about Anurag being alive and thinks that she is an opportunist.

Tua along with her aunt, Sharmistha then join forces with Adrija to separate Meghla from Anurag. On the other hand Meghla turns into a strong individual who has learnt to take stands for herself and speak the truth when required. Anurag and Kajori strongly supports Meghla's change. After Adrija's instigation, Tua and Sharmistha file a case against Anurag, accusing him of deceit and polygamy, but they fail due to the intervention of Adv. Shubhalakshmi, an experienced lawyer. Meghla also helps her to mend her broken relationship with her estranged husband, Adv. Anweshan. Malobika realise her mistakes and apologies to Meghla. Shattered and ashamed of her deeds, Tua changes herself and becomes a loyal confidante to Meghla, despite Anurag's initial reluctance. Sharmistha also repents and reforms herself.

Seeing Meghla alone in the house Adrija goes desperate and tries to stab her but Anurag saves Meghla. Adrija declares to everyone and the police that she will kill definitely kill Meghla one day. Adrija gets arrested while Chandan is depressed to see his daughter behaving like this.

Adrija flees from police custody and takes the alias of "Mallika Dasgupta" to hide herself from the public eye.

But their happiness is short-lived as Adrija kills Meghla's unborn baby while trying to kill her. A devastated Anurag blames Meghla for everything and asks for a separation.
