One day while driving, they have an accident and Salina loses her sight. Guddu blames himself and so do Salina's guardians. Guddu is asked to keep away from Salina. Salina knows that the accident was not Guddu's fault, but would not like to meet Guddu and be a burden on him. Guddu overhears a conversation between their family doctor and his father and he learns that he has a brain tumor. He has only a few more months to live. He wants to donate his eyes to the hospital so Salina can benefit from them, but his father will not even consider this. The situation worsens when Guddu decides to go to court to assert his right to donate his eyes, his father ends in the hospital and so does Guddu. Kavita couldn't bear the trauma of her husband's illness and her son's disease, thus she decides to devote herself to god for five days without drinking a sip of water. Her prayers are answered and her husband's life is saved and her son's operation is successful. She dies at the feet of God while praying and her eyes are donated to Salina. Salina and Guddu marry and are blessed with twins and they live happily ever after.
