A jealous and deranged Krutika orchestrates a kidnapping and blackmail plot with help of her mother and gets Kajal forcefully married to Samay's younger playboy brother Arjun (Eijaz Khan) and herself marries Samay by duping him. Arjun gradually starts falling deeply in love with Kajal and gives up his wild lifestyle. Kajal reluctant at first also falls in love with Arjun. Things get complicated as Samay, still in love with Kajal turns to alcohol to drown his sorrow and hates Krutika, even refusing to recognize her as his wife. A still deranged Krutika blaming Kajal for her miseries tries to complicate her life. Arjun and Kajal meanwhile have a successful marriage and Kajal gets pregnant and gives birth to their son. Krutika hires Sahil (Arjun's lookalike) to be with Kajal as Arjun. In the last episode Sahil goes to Kajal's mother to ask what really happened between Kajal and Krutika. Kajal's mother tells him the whole story. Sahil tells Krutika's plan in front of Punj family. Krutika gets arrested and Kajal forgives Sahil saying she always knew, she just played along so that she can know why he is acting to be Arjun.
