Harleen and Sarab's half-sister, Aditi, come into Sarab and Meher's life, along with her fiance Vikram (who turns out to be Manav itself). Many trials and tribulations occur, including the fight over Karan's custody, nonetheless, everything is sorted out in the end. Aditi and Manav fall in love and marry and Karan remains with Sarab and Meher. Later on, Meher is jailed for the allegation of murdering her brother Jagga and Sarab fails to save her.

Later, it is revealed that the Gills' accountant, Tarkash killed Jagga to get some past revenge from Meher and gets jailed. Sarab reconciles with Meher, and also accepts Seher.
