Jasmine and Amrik decide to run away to London and start their life there as everyone in their family is still refusing to accept their relationship especially after Tejo's death. In London, Jasmine and Amrik come across Tanya, Tejo's look-a-like. Angad is also in London and he is certain that Tanya is Tejo and wants to kill her. Tanya admits to being Tejo and accuses Fateh and Jasmine of trying to kill her, which is all a misunderstanding. In the end Angad's true evil face is revealed and he is arrested for Tejo's murder. Amrik ends up dying while saving Tanya from Angad. In a shocking event, it's revealed that Tanya isn't Tejo and she was assigned by cops to find out the truth behind Tejo's murder.

Later on, Jasmine ends up miscarrying and fakes her pregnancy. She pretends to give birth and leaves an orphan at the hospital, claiming it to be Amrik and her child. Tejo and Fateh know the truth but for the family's happiness, they keep it a secret and raise the child as their own daughter. They name her Nehmat. Jasmine, on the other hand, married Yash and moved to Canada, finally accomplishing her life-long dream. However, she is in for a rude awakening when she realizes Yash married her for revenge and mistreats her.
6 years later
Jasmine returns to India with Naaz as she was suffering from domestic violence and torture by her mother-in-law and husband. Her father refuses to accept her. Tejo and Fateh have raised Nehmat up in a loving household while Jasmine and Naaz are barely getting by. Jasmine decides to leave her daughter with her family so Naaz can finally have the love of a family and happiness that Naaz deserves. She leaves behind a note saying that she doesn't wish to meet them again as she is not a great person to have in anyone's life. Naaz and Nehmat become friends and treat each other like sisters. However, Naaz starts to get jealous of the attention Nehmat is getting and misses Jasmine. Fateh and Tejo decide to adopt Naaz so Naaz will get the love and happiness that she deserves. Unfortunately, before Naaz could be officially adopted, Fateh, Tejo and the Virks all die in a car accident. Nehmat, Naaz and Tejo's family are left devastated.
16 years later
Naaz and Nehmat are all grown up. Nehmat is dating Ekam, a police officer in trainee, who wants to help Nehmat find out the reason behind the Virk family's accident and demise. Naaz is still suffering from inferiority complex for the attention Nehmat always gets and wishes to snatch all of Nehmat's happiness away from her. Nehmat always wishes well for Naaz, but Naaz is always busy plotting against Nehmat so Naaz can get everything that Nehmat has. The only one who sees Naaz's true face is Malika and hence Naaz and Mallika don't get along. Naaz tries to break Nehmat's friendship with Malika by creating misunderstandings between them by showing that Advait and Nehmat are together. Advait, in reality, is only marrying Malika to have power over Ekam so Ekam doesn't investigate the Virk family's accident. It is revealed that Advait's father and Jasmine were behind the car accident.
