After the marriage, they learn of his extramarital affair leading Pinky to leave the house and return to her maternal home. During a disagreement with her father she leaves the house along with her grandmother Sarla. At Arjun's insistence, they accept for her to live with him but only if he takes a deposit for their rent. Arjun helps Pinky to divorce Gagan, and convinces her conservative father, who continues to try to hurt her while Arjun protects her putting his life in danger. Pinky also starts to dress up as Imarti, something which her dadi knows about and eventually her mother Nalini and aunt Antara (her father's sister). She also marries Arjun as Imarti (as their fake marriage ends up as a real one) to help him gain custody of Nandu who is revealed to be his adopted daughter as he and Ananya had three miscarriages. Meanwhile, Arjun's mother, whom Arjun hates tries to re-enter his life and to have him marry a girl of her choice. Later on Pinky on Antara's insistence realizes that she has started developing feelings for Arjun but goes on to agree to marry Vikas, a boy chosen by her father. Antara on one hand promises to unite Arjun and Pinky against Pinky's mother and even Pinky, who does not want to oppose her father's wishes, will. At the end, Pinky's father agrees to her marriage and accepts Arjun as Pinky's husband.
