==Plot==
In an accident, Sharanya ends up in a coma. When she wakes up, she has no memory of the last 3 years. Vyom Bedi claims to be her boyfriend. After strange incidents threaten Vyom's life caused by a spirit, Sharanya decides to marry Vyom to save his life angering the spirit. As they get married, the spirit kills Sharanya's father. The spirit attacks and injures Vyom and Sharanya goes to Kapali Hills to find out how she can protect Vyom. There she discovers Shiv’s (the spirit) dead body.

Sharanya tries to prove Vyom's crimes, his mother Madhvi takes the blame instead and is arrested. Vyom's father Rajan Bedi wants his wife released so he fake his death and put the blame on him thus procuring Madhvi's release.

Vyom called Odhni to help him get rid of Shiv's spirit and, on her advice, Shiv's mother Swarna to get Sharanya to perform Shiv's last rites and burn all his belongings. Sharanya sees Rajan and Madhvi together and confronts Vyom. Vyom is forced to admit his crime - the murder of Shiv's father (to protect his own parents).

Sharanya tells him that she could never love him and prepares to leave but Rajan told Sharanya to give him Shiv's ring so he can get rid of Shiv's spirit for good. But before she can remove it, Swarna pushes her off a cliff to her death.

About to kill Swarna, a distraught Vyom instead kills himself.

===25 years later===
Rajan and Madhvi are raising a girl named Shivani who returns from [[London]] with her boyfriend Akash who is Vyom's lookalike and whose mannerisms also remind Rajan of Vyom.

Shivani and Akash decide to get engaged and at their engagement party, Akash surprises her with her favourite superstar Krrish Khanna (KK) who is Shiv's lookalike. Then they meet Radhika at their film shooting who is Sharanya's lookalike.

Swarna reveals that Radhika is Sharanya's reincarnation and that Odhni and Swarna swapped the babies because Rajan and Madhvi wanted to adopt the girl expected to be Sharanya's reincarnation.

Krish and Radhika see Swarna and try to help her. Meanwhile, at Akash and Shivani's wedding, Akash is revealed to be Vyom. Swarna had prevented him from killing himself declaring it his punishment to stay alive. Akash described his true identity as Vyom and his story.

Shivani has gone missing and Radhika  takes her place in the film. Krish convinces Radhika to join the film as they continue searching for Shivani. Radhika hears Shivani's phone ringing in the basement and goes there to find her but is confronted by Freddy and faints on seeing him. She awakens in her bed and is told by Akash that she was imagining things and that Rajan and Madhavi are in [[Manali, Himachal Pradesh|Manali]] to look for Shivani. However, Radhika shows Krish Freddy's shirt button to prove to him that she did see him in the basement.

Radhika and Krish go to the basement to find Shivani but are overpowered by Freddy. Radhika recall her past life and says that she remembers being in love with Vyom. Krish is shocked but Vyom is overjoyed to finally get Sharanya. But she is lying to find Swarna, Rajan and Madhvi. Krish tricks him into killing Freddy. Vyom commits suicide by jumping off a cliff.

Krish and Radhika are united,  however it is not without obstacles; Vyom's spirit returns as he was deewana of Sharanya, is deewana of Sharanya and will be deewana of Sharanya.
