However, due to Amrik's love and care for her, Jasmine also falls for him. Tejo's ex-fiance Angad sets Tejo on fire and everyone presumes her to be dead.
During their trip to London, Jasmine and Amrik meet Tejo's lookalike, Tanya, who is assigned to investigate Tejo's murder. Amrik dies while saving Tanya from Angad, who is later jailed for his crimes. Jasmine is revealed to be pregnant. Tanya finds Tejo and reunites her with Fateh. Jasmine, on the other hand, miscarries but leaves an orphan at the hospital, claiming it to be her and Amrik's child. Tejo and Fateh learn the truth but raise the girl, naming her Nehmat.

Naaz pressures Nehmat to marry Advait Kapoor so she can marry his younger brother, Nikhil Kapoor as Nehmat's best friend Mallika is missing. Jasmine returns to India to see her daughter Naaz. Naaz becomes very happy to see her mother after sixteen years. But later is saddened upon learning that Jasmine has remarried with Mr. Ahluwalia and they have a daughter Harleen. However, Nehmat marries Advait. Later, Harleen learns of their marriage and returns to India claiming that she is Advait's legal wife. At first, Nehmat doesn't believe it but later she gets evidence after which she believes that Harleen is really Advait's legal wife. Later, she divorces Advait. Advait tries to kill Harleen but is jailed. On the other hand, Harleen falls for Ekam. Ekam and Nehmat decide to marry but she backs out after being blackmailed by Jasmine which Ekam doesn't know. So Ekam and Harleen marry. On the other hand, Naaz also married Balveer Randhawa by divorcing Nikhil.

Armaan saves Aasma and brings her back to India. Armaan and Aasma adopt Zaid while Aliya gives birth to a daughter, Khushi. Aasma is revealed to be pregnant and Aliya hires goons to get rid of her, which leads to Aasma going into early labor.

Aasma is living with her daughter, Haniya, and Zaid. Armaan is raising Meher, unaware that she is his and Aasma's daughter. Aliya wants to eliminate Meher to get Armaan. Armaan and Aasma come face to face and Aliya is exposed and arrested. The police jeep has an accident and Aliya becomes paralyzed. After the accident, Aliya turns over a new leaf and apologizes to Aasma for her misdeeds.
Ranvijay Gill aka Rockstar RV, is introduced. Aliya and RV fall in love, but Aliya remains faithful to Raja. In a twist of events, RV turns out to be Sukhi's illegitimate son. Sukhi promises to have Aliya and RV marry as Raja is mentally unstable. However, Aasma stops the wedding and RV leaves the Gill house. Aliya turns negative again and tortures Aasma. She kidnaps Haniya and Meher, but Aasma rescues them. It becomes known that Meher is Armaan and Aasma's daughter. In a last ditch effort, Aliya tries to kill Aasma but ends up falling to her death.
Meher and Haniya have grown up to be opposites. Meher is disillusioned by love because she believes that Armaan faked his love for Aasma and left them all. Haniya has fallen for Sarab, but Sarab sees Meher as his ideal type. However, due to Meher's rude behavior, he clashes with her.
Haniya tries to talk to Meher and Aasma about her love, but is unable to. Aasma decides to have Meher and Sarab marry as she thinks only Sarab can handle Meher's attitude. After many misunderstandings, Meher finally accepts to marry Sarab, and Sarab also confesses his love. Meher also eventually confesses her love. Munni, who was insulted by Meher in front of everyone, tries to turn Meher against Haniya. Haniya confesses to Meher that she used to love Sarab, which divides the sisters.
Meher decides to have Haniya marry Vikram to make sure Haniya stays away from Sarab. However, Vikram is revealed to be Shakti's younger brother who wants to retaliate against Meher and Haniya. Vikram and Shakti's truth is revealed on the wedding day and the two sisters reunite. However, Munni has Meher kidnapped and pretends that Meher fled from her wedding. Haniya is forced to marry Sarab for her family's honor.
Meher begins to despise Haniya and believes Haniya plotted everything to get Sarab. Meher fixates on reuniting with Sarab and threatens suicide if Sarab doesn't divorce Haniya. Haniya realises Munni is in cahoots with Shakti and decides to expose her. However, Munni outsmarts Haniya and blames everything on her. Haniya begs Meher to trust her, so Meher gives her a chance to prove her innocence. Once Munni's truth is exposed to Meher as well, the sisters join hands to expose Munni.
Munni's truth is exposed in front of everyone and Haniya is proven innocent. Munni is forgiven after she realizes the wrongs of her ways. On the other hand, Meher, realizing that Haniya's love for her and Sarab is pure and selfless, accepts Sarab and Haniya's marriage. Then the family reunites.
