Chakor suspects that Imli is alive. Vivaan also comes back leaving both Suraj and Chakor shocked as they thought he died 7 years ago. Vivaan also believes that Imli is alive igniting Chakor's doubt about the same. They both try to find her which makes Suraj insecure as he thinks Chakor is getting closer to her childhood friend again remembering their past.

Imli finally tells them the truth and an apologetic Suraj reconciles with Chakor and Saanvi. Suraj is assumably killed in a bomb-blast, a result of a political fallout. Chakor, rather than telling Saanvi and family, pays Suraj's look-alike Raghav Khanna to take his place. Imli turns good and dies while saving Chakor from a villain. Chakor gets jailed for 10 years under false charges and Saanvi is adopted by a rich couple.
