Plagiarism would be if she copied your story either word for word, or if she took your plot. The difference between a plot and a concept is the following:

Concept - Arnav & Khushi met in a restaurant, and it's love at first sight.
Plot - Arnav & Khushi met in a restaurant, love at first sight happens, they go on a date the next day, Arnav meets with an accident, Khushi stays at the hospital with him, then Arnav has found to have had a fiance, etc.

If the concept is similar, there's nothing that can be done about that because at the end of the day, it's a fan fiction. Countless fan fictions have the same concepts. But if the plot is similar, I can step in and take action. For the same events to occur in the same sequence and to result in the same consequence at the end is not a coincident. That's plagiarism.

Okay...

For example:

If I sketch a story where with a threaten the female lead forced the main lead to write his biography as she thinks he is an arrogant and so called rich man. he too thinks that the female lead has blackmailed her so she is a mean kind of lady. but when they come to contact with each other in the scenario of biography she comes to know him and he too realize they she is not such kind of lady. they become friends in the process automatically and fall for each other.

And the previous story was written as the female lead take the male lead's interview for a channel and the situations try to take them closer and they fall for each other.

Will these 2 stories will count as plagiarism?

^No. Here the concept is similar but not the plot.

not really, I personally do not think so as one is an interview and one is a biography so the plot is definitely different. however the idea or concept of two people learning to understand each other through a process is the same in both.
