6 years later

Jasmine returns to India with Naaz as she was suffering from domestic violence and torture by her mother-in-law and husband. Her father refuses to accept her. Tejo and Fateh have raised Nehmat up in a loving household while Jasmine and Naaz are barely getting by. Jasmine decides to leave her daughter with her family so Naaz can finally have the love of a family and happiness that Naaz deserves. She leaves behind a note saying that she doesn't wish to meet them again as she is not a great person to have in anyone's life. Naaz and Nehmat become friends and treat each other like sisters. However, Naaz starts to get jealous of the attention Nehmat is getting and misses Jasmine. Fateh and Tejo decide to adopt Naaz so Naaz will get the love and happiness that she deserves. Unfortunately, before Naaz could be officially adopted, Fateh, Tejo and the Virks all die in a car accident. Nehmat, Naaz and Tejo's family are left devastated.

16 years later

Naaz and Nehmat are all grown up. Nehmat is dating Ekam, a police officer in trainee, who wants to help Nehmat find out the reason behind the Virk family's accident and demise. Naaz is still suffering from inferiority complex for the attention Nehmat always gets and wishes to snatch all of Nehmat's happiness away from her. Nehmat always wishes well for Naaz, but Naaz is always busy plotting against Nehmat so Naaz can get everything that Nehmat has. The only one who sees Naaz's true face is Malika and hence Naaz and Mallika don't get along. Naaz tries to break Nehmat's friendship with Malika by creating misunderstandings between them by showing that Advait and Nehmat are together.
