Years later, Asha weds Suresh, who moves in with them, while Sunita becomes intimate and pregnant with Balwinder, and in order to avoid a scandal, gets married to him.

Shanti decides to make Gopal the next heir to the Sharma estate, and shortly after that Prabhat, who read about his dad's passing, shows up.
