Khushi, who wants revenge for her sister's death, marries Siddhant and Prem's cousin, Sankalp. Simar has a miscarriage, which makes her to never conceive and become a mother. Khushi becomes the surrogacy mother of Prem and Simar's child and blackmails Simar to sign the property papers. She gives birth to their daughter, Anjali and grabs Bharadwajs' property with her lover, Veeru. Roli tricks Veeru and manages to get back the property papers. Enraged, Veeru shoots Roli who is presumed dead. Eventually, Simar finds Roli alive, held captive by Veeru and brings her home. Siddhant and Roli are happily remarried.
Simar and Roli find their long-lost sister-in-law, Jhanvi. Jhanvi kills her husband, Shaurya and later gets married to Dr. Anurag. Roli is kidnapped by a politician, Jwala Devi. She escapes and unintentionally runs over a woman named Sunaina, who dies. Sunaina's husband, Vikrant Mehta, asks Simar to live with them as Sunaina, faking her death. Simar too agrees to save Roli.
2 years later
Simar now lives as Sunaina, raises Vikrant's daughter, Sanjana while Roli takes care of Anjali. Simar returns to Bharadwajs' after meeting her sister coincidentally at the Summer Camp and meets Sunaina's spirit, who wants revenge from Mehtas', who were behind her death. Prem, Roli and Siddhant also join with Simar. Eventually, Sunaina and Surabhi are banished. Vikrant who tries to murder Prem for his love for Simar eventually is jailed after her kidnap. Sanjana gets adopted by Simar and Prem.
Later, the story revolves around Simar, Roli, Prem and Siddhant and how they protect Bharadwaj house from some supernatural creatures who want to destroy Bhardwaj Family. These supernatural creatures include shapeshifting female serpent Maya, Dayans Mohini and Indravati, Patali Devi-Gayatri, ghosts Maalti, Madhavi and Chhoti Dulhan, Shaitan (Kaal), Moon Jewel Princess Chandramani and another two Dayans Mahamaya and Kamya. While defeating Patali Devi and Shaitan, Simar's life falls in danger. Roli sacrifices her life to save Simar. After Roli's sad demise, Siddhant goes into depression and moves abroad. Due to Chandramani's notorious plan to get rid of Simar so that her lost powers are gained back from Siddhant, she makes Simar to search the Chandrakant at a jungle where Simar faces a curse from a Saint Baba to live her life in reincarnation of a housefly. Simultaneously, Prerna and Mataji bring about the truth of Fake Simar residing in the house and save Simar on time back as a human leading to the end of Chandrakatha. After the gem Chandramani being buried at a misunderstood time by Simar, Mahamaya steals it so that the Chudails' deity Kali gains his powers back and return to the world. Mahamaya and Kamya (who resides inside the Bharadwaj house as Prem's childhood mate to assist her mother) casts a spell on Simar that impregnates her with a child possessing evil powers. Simar becomes aware of this mysterious plan and soon witnesses Kamya's real vintage. The family learns of this, too. Simar and Prem have a son, Piyush. Being in doubt of the baby's spookiness, the family asks Simar to donate away the child. Simar refuses and leaves her in-laws with Piyush.
15 years later
Simar and Piyush return to the Bharadwaj house and reunite with their family. Anjali, brought up by Khushi, has grown up to be a spoilt fashionista and blames Simar for abandoning her. Simar and Prem together help their children in their lives. Anjali marries Vikram Agarwal and Piyush marries his best friend, Roshni Kapoor. Anjali eventually accepts Simar. Vikram marries Tanvi, divorcing Anjali. Sanjana returns and is about to marry her college friend, Sameer. Anjali discovers that Sameer conspires against Bharadwajs' and marries him to spare herself from the same fate. She falls into a coma, after being shot by Simar.
Sameer's mother, Bhairavi is revealed to have shot Anjali. She turns into a daayan, absorbing supernatural powers and kills Simar. Mother Goddess Durga, deeply worshipped by the Bharadwaj family, enters their household in the form of Simar, to destroy Bhairavi and bring Simar back to life. Sameer repents for his mistakes and the Bharadwajs forgive him.
Anjali recovers and sets the Bharadwaj Mansion on fire, and she is arrested. Simar and the others disown her. Roshni is shot to death by Aliya, who wants revenge for her father's death. Piyush turns mad due to Roshni's demise and goes missing.
