## History

### 15 years later

Ramila is shown to be the Matriarch of the Desai Family. Atharva Desai is a young DJ pursuing his own career, while his father wishes for him to join his company. Atharva’s birth mother, Divya Marathe Desai, had left him when he was a young child, and he harbours hatred towards his birth mother and step mother Vasudha Desai. Divya is Krishna’s mentor and motherly figure. Meera, Atharva’s half sister and Vasudha’s daughter, is Krishna’s biggest rival in her studies. Atharva’s car splashes mud on Krishna and her friends. Krishna confronts him and breaks the glass of his windshield. Meera has Krishna expelled from her studies and thus her dream to open her Dance Academy is finished. Krishna meets Atharva again at a mutual family friend wedding. He understands her situation and proposes a proposition: to marry him and he can get her back on her studies. While rejecting this offer at first, she later agrees. The Desai’s also ask the Singhania’s for Krish’s marriage to Meera. Meera vows to destroy Krishna upon learning about their marriage and agrees to marry Krish.

Atharva-Krishna and Krish-Meera get married. Later on, Kritika’s marriage to Atharva’s cousin Shivam is also fixed. Meera suggest the family moved into their house, so she can carry on to make Krishna’s life terrible. Krishna resumes her studies and completes her course. Meera attempts several times to have Krishna kicked out of the house. During a Holi Celebration, Meera, alongside her half-sister in law Raavi and Vasudha teases Krishna about her upbringing before reuniting with the Singhania family. In the pretence of faking a romance for the sake of everyone, Atharva and Krishna begin to have real feelings for each other. They bond at their friends wedding despite Meera trying to create differences. Krishna starts questioning her feelings as Atharva keeps impressing her. Both become popular after doing an interview together. Atharva confesses his love to her passionately in the rain. They go for their honeymoon, to start their relationship afresh. Krishna later opens her dance Academy named ‘Krishna’s Dance Academy’. Meera soon tries to kill Rajshekhar, Deviyani, Kaveri and Parvati in a bomb blast during Deviyani’s birthday, however they are saved by Atharva and Krishna who lose the proof to expose Meera.

Krishna ends up helping a man named Veer Sinha. Veer falls in love with her. Vasudha attempts to break Atharva and Krishna up, but to no avail. Later, while the families are on a outing, Vasudha and Meera attempt to blackmail Krishna to leave the family. Krishna refuses and goes to tell the family, but is stopped by Meera who threatens her. Krishna later receives a letter for her to go to the USA and achieve her dream of opening more dance academies. Krishna has a farewell party and leaves for America, alone. Meera vows to use this opportunity to manipulate the couple against each other.

Krishna thrives as a successful businesswoman who is opening Dance Academies in the USA. The Desai-Sighania family still live in India. Atharva and Krishna maintain a close relationship but haven’t seen each other in person for the last two years. Veer Sinha helps Krishna out with the Academy’s, but the family is unaware due to her not wanting a misunderstanding. Krishna lives with the Sinha Family, which consists of Alka (Veer and Swara’s mother, Vasudha’s sister), Asmita (Alka and Vasudha’s sister), Suhasi (Alka, Asmita and Vasudha’s mother) and Shikha (Asmita’s daughter), also live with the couple. Vasudha is revealed to be Alka and Asmita’s older sister, who ran away from the family and took all their money to marry Virendra. Atharva meets Veer’s sister, Swara, at a concert who develops a crush on him. Krishna returns with Veer and the Sinha family to India after two years. Fate brings Krishna to a party instead back home, where Atharva is the DJ. Atharva and Krishna finally meet. They have a confrontation at a party. Atharva is unaware that Krishna was coming back as she wanted it to be a surprise, and Atharva misunderstands Veer and Krishna to be having an affair. Atharva brings them to the house and reveals to everyone what is happening. Meera tells Veer and Swara to break the couple up. Atharva and Krishna are quickly divorced. Atharva makes Krishna jealous and proposes to Swara. Krishna, to move on in her life, agrees to marry Veer. Goons attack Krishna, Atharva saves her and Veer misunderstands this situation. The Desai family wishes for Veer and Krishna not to contact them after Atharva and Swara’s wedding. Atharva tells Krishna that he still wants them to be together as he still loves her. Veer and Swara find out about Atharva and Krishna and that they can only love each other. Swara joins Krishna’s Academy so she can take over it alongside Meera. On the wedding day, Swara is found dead in her room. Krishna is accused, when in reality Meera shot her to have Krishna arrested. Krishna’s innocence is proven and she is freed. Veer is later arrested but Krishna bails him out and the Sinha Family return back to the USA.

Krishna reunites the two, causing tension between her and the family. Krishna soon reveals her pregnancy.

Krishna’s dance academy is re-opened with the help of Kritika. Meera attempts to turn Kritika away from Krishna, but to no avail. Meera and Kritika are also revealed to be pregnant. Krish doesn’t want to have children and he and Meera get into a argument. Atharva and Krishna’s relationship is at stake due to issues because of Meera. Krishna suffers a miscarriage by falling off the stairs and believes that she is incapable to conceive. Kritika gives birth to a son, Avinash. Meera gives birth to a son, Prashant. Krishna wants to have Vasudha and Meera arrested for all their crimes, however the Desai name gets ruined by this allegation. The Desai’s blame her for this. Atharva and Krishna argue and Krishna drives off to clear her mind. She later falls off a cliff. The family members consider Krishna dead and do her final rites. Krishna survives and regains consciousness in the hospital in Varkala with Divya by her side and discovers that she is pregnant. She promises to raise her child well.

Parminder invites Krishna and Aarya for a celebration. Aarya celebrates her birthday along with Krishna and Divya. They celebrate Aarya’s birthday in the park along with the family and friends. Krishna and Atharva get shocked when they see their anniversary cake instead of Aarya’s birthday cake, which Meera purposely switched. Atharva and Krishna get into a fight about Aarya to which Aarya hears and finds out that her father is Atharva.

Aarya is accepted into the family as Atharva’s daughter and Krishna is asked to leave, to which she refuses.
