The show changes its focus to Ankita, and her four younger siblings (Prashant, Maansi, Sonu) who are Soham's children. Ankita marries the mentally challenged Naren Karmarkar who is a son of Rushali Karmarkar. Naren is traumatized after his lover "Ahaana"'s death and he assumes that Ankita is Ahaana.

Maansi tells everything to Ankita, she fights for Maansi's justice for Maansi against her in-laws. No one supports Ankita even Naren throws her out from his house. Still Ankita and Shashank file a rape case against Raunak. Initially Raunak gets a bail as he proves himself innocent but at last hearing Naren proves that Maansi was not lying, Raunak actually raped Maansi and shows evidences in the courts. Raunak is sentenced to ten years of imprisonment. Maansi marries Shashank and they move to Anand Niwas Chawl where entire Deshmukh family moved back from Cananda. Ankita consulted a doctor for Naren's mental health, as per doctor's suggestion she tried for the experiment from his past. She sits in the burning car where Naren rescue her. Naren gets much better by that experiment and they consummate their marriage.

Ankita visits Archana's house and meet Pari (Arjun and Purvi's daughter). They became close friends and project partners, too. Pari got engaged with Shekhar (Naren's legal advisor). On engagement day Pari comes to know that her Aman is Ankita's husband Naren and she thought to be silent. Ankita told Naren that she is expecting a child.

Ankita gives birth to their daughter Ashi, but his mother steals the infant to give away to Naren and Pari, and tells Ankita she was a stillborn. The show takes a leap of five years.

Pari is shown to be an irresponsible working mother, and Naren a loving father to Ashi, who is given to them by Rushali as their adopted daughter. Ashi meets Ankita when she is lost, and they develop a bond. Naren learns Ashi is his biological daughter, and remembers Ankita as his caretaker-cum-partner. Pari realises Ankita and Naren still love each other and Ashi is their daughter, and leaves them. Ankita and Naren unite.

Purvi and Arjun return to Pari, who accepts both her parents after some time, and they live as a family. Ovi also returns with her daughter Pia, and lives with her as a single mother.
