[amol]

The serial begins on Amba's birthday - a day that no one in the family, except her husband, her grandson Mihir and Tulsi, the daughter of the pujari, seem to remember. In order to make up for the lapse on their part, the Viranis propose to have dinner together. The bahus - Savita, Daksha and Gayatri - decide to order food instead of cooking. This embarrasses Amba, angers her sons, gives the three daughters-in-law more reason to crib against Amba and sets the tone for the way relationships proceed for the major part of the serial.

Mihir returns from America and takes over the reins of the family business. He goes to the family temple and there he bumps into Tulsi - the daughter of the family pujari.

Savita, Daksha and Gayatri plan Mihir's wedding. Mihir meets a prospective bride called Niharika, but when she seems undecided about what she wants to do, Mihir lies to her parents about his affairs in America, and wiggles out of the match.

In steps Payal - with a proposal for Mihir. It is soon taken for granted that Payal will be marrying Mihir. But the differences between the two are apparent - and Tulsi and her dad, the pujari talk about this. Payal, in the meantime, goes over to the Virani household and tries to sniff out the undercurrents in the house.

Payal snubs Tulsi. When Mihir hears about this, he goes to apologise to Tulsi. Payal, however, does not apologise for her conduct. She does not go over to meet Chirag either - after he is brought home by the police on suspicions of attempting to kill himself, because he has flunked in his exams.

Mihir and Tulsi discover that they like each other. Savita stops Tulsi from coming to her house. Payal's mom goes to the pujari's house and insults him and Tulsi, as a result of which he suffers a heart attack. Mihir then breaks off his engagement to Payal and threatens his family that if he is forced to marry her, he will return to America.

Mihir proposes to Tulsi. Savita, in the meantime, has already planned to get Mihir engaged to Payal all over again. Plots and counter-plots fly thick and fast - and Mihir and Tulsi get married in secret, much to Savita's anger.

Savita asks Mihir to choose between her and Tulsi. She sulks for days on end till Mihir and Tulsi decide to leave home. Savita makes up her mind that she will pretend to be pacified in order to keep Mihir at home, but will make life hell for Tulsi.

Pragna, the sister of the Virani sons, comes to stay at Shantiniketan. Govardhan appoints Navin, her husband, as one of the directors in his company. Pragna, meanwhile, is placed in embarrassing situation time and again, because of her pathetic financial condition. To save her the hassle, Hemant and Mihir buy her a flat.


In the meantime, trouble is brewing at the Aligarh factory of the Viranis. Tulsi and Mihir cut short their honeymoon and return to India. Kiran returns too and is told about the Aligarh problems. He asks Govardhan to let him go to Aligarh.

He then throws a party for Mihir and Tulsi, where matters come to such a head between Tulsi and Savita that Mihir decides to return to America. He is coaxed into changing his mind. Kiran discovers that the girl he loves is the one Savita has decided he should marry.

Govardhan hands over all the work for Kiran's wedding to Mihir. When Savita is shown the wedding card, she bristles on seeing Tulsi's name on it and calls up Payal. She then decides to be ostensibly sweet to Tulsi, but to saddle her with responsibilities that she just cannot juggle. She plots as often as she can to get Tulsi into sticky situations.

At one of the rituals before Kiran's wedding, Hemant and Pooja get talking to each other. Savita puts Tulsi in charge of the jewellery for the wedding. Tulsi leaves the ornaments with Amba. When Pragna comes over, they open Amba's cupboard to look for the most expensive necklace they have made for Aarti - it is missing.

Savita asks Tulsi to get the necklace. Hemant comes to know that it is missing, and he asks Tulsi not to tell anyone about it. Hemant tells Govardhan about the loss of the necklace, and also points out that Daksha is wearing a similar one, which she claims is hers.

Daksha gives her necklace to Aarti and blames Tulsi for the loss of the necklace. The servant Madhu finds it in Tulsi's room. Just when everyone is convinced that Tulsi has stolen the necklace, JD catches Madhu counting money in the kitchen. He asks Madhu where he has got so much money. Madhu confesses that Gayatri had paid him to put the necklace in Tulsi's room.

JD drags Gayatri to Govardhan and Amba, but she refuses to apologise to Tulsi. JD praises Tulsi for her honesty. The three bahus start plotting again.

Meanwhile, Sejal, who had gone for a rehearsal, is in a accident. Hemant, JD, Gayatri, Payal and Mihir go to the hospital. Anand, Sejal's friend, who is with her when the accident occurs, feels guilty.

Kiran and Aarti plan the resurrection of the Aligarh factory. Kiran reaches the Aligarh factory and asks for work, but is dismissed. He waits outside the factory and meets Mohan, who tells him that he will find work there.
He then calls Aarti and asks her to come to the Aligarh factory. He asks her to pretend that she is the boss.

Meanwhile, Suhasi meets Rakesh, her parents' acquaintances' son, and agrees to marry him. Payal and Tulsi bump into each other at the temple, and Payal challenges Tulsi that she will make the two divorce each other. Tulsi and Amba decide that it's time to teach the three bahus of the Virani household a lesson.

But even before they can put their plan into action, Savita mounts an attack. Tulsi then makes up her mind to win over all the people of the house. She talks to JD and asks him to get Gayatri to take an interest in her dance again. She also tells Ba it's time to fulfil Gayatri's dreams for a dance institute.

Suhasi gets married. On the night of her wedding, she discovers that her husband already has a son. She decides that she will keep up the faade of the relationship.

Payal, who has been plotting against Tulsi, gets her friend Deepak to fake an affair with Tulsi. But this plot falls through when Deepak discovers that Tulsi is his childhood friend, and not the wicked woman that Payal had made her out to be. Deepak and Tulsi turn the tables on Payal and tell Savita that Deepak and Payal are actually in love with each other. Savita is furious.

Chirag fails his exams and leaves home, telling his parents that he will not return till he carves out an identity for himself.


In the midst of all this bad news comes some good - Ba and Babuji give Gayatri the plan to her dance institute. Gayatri apologises to Tulsi for misunderstanding her. Tulsi also gets Ba enrolled into a fashion designing school, where she is a hit.

Tulsi also discovers that she is pregnant - a fact that does not go down very well with Savita.

Pooja, in the meantime, has been getting blank calls from someone who professes to be her admirer. She discovers that the blackmailer is her boss and Anand's friend Rajeev.

At the factory, the village girl Kiran had rescued falls in love with him. This strains the relationship between Kiran and Aarti. Chirag returns home and tells everyone that he has become an actor.

Suhaasi, meanwhile, gets Rakesh's son Aniket home, but does not let him care for the baby. Suhasi comes home and Tulsi gets to know the truth about Aniket. Mihir, too, suspects that Aniket is Rakesh's son.

JD agrees to let Sejal marry Anand. Chirag tells Daksha he wants to marry Prajakta, and she warns him against it. Just when she is busy plotting Chirag's marriage with Bharti, her niece, the Virani family receives a bolt from the blue - Sejal consumes sleeping pills and it is discovered that she is pregnant. Daksha overhears Tulsi telling Mihir that she had suspected Sejal's condition. She tells Savita about this and the two plan to insult Tulsi in front of the entire family.

Pooja, in the meantime, is delivered an ultimatum by Rajeev - he tells her that she must marry him, or he will ensure that Anand never returns in time to marry Sejal. In order to make life easier for Sejal, Pooja agrees to marry Rajeev.

With this promised, the way is cleared for Anand to come home from Dubai and marry Sejal. But problems crop up almost from Day 1. Used as she is to the comforts of the Virani house, Sejal cribs about the lack of amenities at Anand's house and repeatedly castigates him for not being able to give her what she terms "basic comforts".

Hemant returns from his work abroad and is shocked to discover that Pooja has married Rajeev. He does not know that she has been blackmailed into it. Therefore, he vents his ire against her often, embarrassing her in public and taking pot-shots at her for toying with his emotions.

Mihir, in the meantime, is involved in the collaboration of a major project that could control the future of Virani industries. His financier for the project is Anupam Kapadia - a man he has spoken to over the phone, but has never met in person. It is gradually made clear that this project could make or break Virani Industries. In order to carry the project through to fruition, it becomes necessary for Mihir to go to the Aligarh factory.
Mihir leaves for the factory, evidently worried about the state of Tulsi, who is now far into her pregnancy. He promises to call and keep tabs on her health. He is delayed from reaching the factory, and the worried Viranis try calling him on his phone, but cannot get through to him. There is no news of him at the factory either, and everyone gets worried about his safety.

Just then, the Viranis get a call that confirms their worst fears - there has been an accident. Hemant, Chirag and JD go to the accident site - and discover that the body found at the site does, indeed, belong to Mihir.
With Mihir's death comes a sea-change in the attitude of Savita towards her bahu. Shattered by the death of her son, Savita is now left with hope in the form of her daughter-in-law and the child that she is carrying. Gautam, the child, is born and becomes the centre of his mother's and grandmother's worlds.

With Mihir's death, the project he had planned also seems doomed. In steps Anupam Kapadia, the financier of the project. He uses his business acumen to save the project and protect the Viranis from disaster.
Payal also offers her aid to the Viranis. Her company offers them money against the mortgage of their house. She then returns the mortgage papers to Hemant and uses this to get closer to him. Payal now has one goal in life - to get back into the Virani house as a daughter-in-law. With Hemant having got to know the true story behind Pooja's marriage to Rajeev, it now appears to Payal that all she has to do is capitalise on the lack of a woman in his life.

Anupam turns out to be the solace for the suffering Virani family. He falls in love with Tulsi and evinces interest in marrying her. Tulsi is totally against the idea, but she fears that if she turns down Anupam's proposal, he might ruin the Virani family financially. In order to save the family's fortunes, she agrees to get married to Anupam.

As luck would have it, the serial shifts back to Mihir - who is alive, and suffering from amnesia - in a Delhi hospital. He has been under the supervision of a certain Dr Mona. He is back from the dead, but has no memory of who he is and where his family is.

Mihir is given the name Amar and is taken care of by Mona, who has started harbouring a soft corner for him. Matters are complicated more when it is revealed that Mona is the sister of Anupam, the man Tulsi is all set to marry.

What follows are tense, climactic moments when Tulsi and Mihir almost seem destined to meet, but never really make it. But other people who know Mihir meet him - Payal's friend Deepak sees him, but gets confused about his identity. Bharti's fiance Suresh Dhurander spots Mihir and is convinced he has seen a ghost.

Hemant gets engaged to Payal. Suhasi gets a shock when Aniket's mother, Monisha, turns up and wins a court case against them. She has to give up Aniket to his biological mother.

In the meantime, Anand, pushed to the edge by Sejal's taunts, decides to join the Virani family business. He decides to go all out to make money and Sejal finds that he has lesser time now to spend on her and their child, Indu. This leads to frequent fights between the two.

As Tulsi's wedding to Anupam approaches, Savita faces the prospect of losing not just her grandson, but also the woman she has learnt to love. Tulsi senses Savita's sense of loss. She tells Savita that she will get married to Anupam only on the condition that she can leave Gautam behind with the Viranis.

Savita, however, begins to ask Aarti, Kiran's wife, to give up her career and stay at home. Aarti prefers the life of a successful businesswoman, and this leads to frequent arguments between the two.

Daksha is also busy on another front - she has got Chirag engaged to Bharti and is planning to get the two married. Prajakta, Suresh and Bharti panic, but Chirag assures them that he will find a way out.

[amol]

In Delhi, Mihir is shown to be getting better. He remembers bits and pieces of his past, but is unable to put a face to any of the people he remembers. The break-through finally comes on the day Mona leaves for Mumbai to attend Anupam's wedding. Mihir remembers the garba that happened at his house - and he remembers Savita's face. But he still cannot put a name or a place to his memories.

Mihir leaves for Mumbai for the wedding. He meets Anupam and his mother. Just as they are about to leave for the ceremony, Mona's gaze falls on the statue of Ram. It's the statue she had promised to get repaired - a statue that's a permanent fixture in the Virani house. She also remembers her promise to Tulsi that she would get it repaired before the wedding. Amar promises to get it repaired and reach the wedding venue on time.

At the Virani household, everyone is helping Tulsi get ready for the wedding. Savita comes to her and tells her that she is returning Gautam to her as a wedding gift. The wedding then begins. The priest urges Tulsi to give Anupam her hand and complete the kanyadaan ritual. A reluctant Tulsi looks around helplessly, trying to delay the moment, as she fights the knowledge that after this moment, she must give up her identity as Mihir's wife. Just as she is looking around the gathering, her eyes fall on Mihir, who has just come in and replaced the broken idol. Tulsi runs to him.

A series of images from the past flit through Mihir's mind and the strain of makes him lose his consciousness. The Tulsi-Anupam wedding is called off - leaving behind a visibly-thrilled Tulsi and a shocked Mona, who realises that Amar has now been taken away, irrevocably, from her.

Tulsi realises that Mihir is torn between "Amar's" feelings for Mandira (Mona) and his duty towards his wife. Dr Singh, who was helping Mandira cure Amar, is brought down from Delhi and he tells the family to try their best to make Mihir remember the past.

Mihir, Hemant, JD, Mansukh and Dr Singh go via the same route that Mihir took when he was in the accident. He sees the spots, recollects the conversation he had then and finally regains his memory.

However, he still has to cope with the fact that Mandira does not want to let go of him. She calls him up, comes over to meet him, and tries to make excuses of all kinds to be with him. Mihir is also distressed by the fact that Payal is to marry Hemant - try as he might, he cannot stop feeling that he has reason not to trust her.

Meanwhile, Rajeev is diagnosed with bone cancer. Suhasi and Rakesh get custody of Aniket because Monisha is unable to take care of him. Anupam confronts Mandira about her obsession with Amar and she denies it, plotting all the while in her mind to get him back into her life.

While Tulsi is worried about the Mihir-Mandira equation, there are stress lines brewing elsewhere in the Virani family. Aarti tells Savita that she will give up her career if Payal also gives up hers after marrying Hemant.

Tulsi and Mihir, in the meantime, decide to take Ba and Babuji on a pilgrimage. News reaches the family that Bharti, the woman Daksha was grooming as her daughter-in-law, has run away and got married to her fiance, Suresh. Daksha is shattered by the news and her heart sinks further when she realises that nothing can now keep Chirag from marrying Prajakta.

Visions of Mandira and Mihir having an affair continue to plague Tulsi. She also finds Mihir lying to her about his whereabouts. Mihir discovers that Payal's firm has whisked away a contract from under the nose of Virani Industries. Payal informs them, however, that the contract is back in their hands, since she has withdrawn her bid.

Prajakta is worried that Chirag's parents might not let her work after their wedding. Chirag reassures her. Over dinner, Mandira's mom broaches the topic of Mandira's wedding. The latter gets furious and walks off.

Rajiv cooks for Pooja, in order to make her feel better. He also proposes that they celebrate her birthday in advance, since he might not be around on her birthday.

Mihir buys Tulsi a saree, but Mandira takes it away from him. Mihir then spots Tulsi's cousin Kesar, and takes her home instead, to make up for the missing "gift".

This gives Daksha an opportunity to instigate Savita against Tulsi. She tells Savita that it is not OK for Tulsi to call her cousin home without informing anyone about it.

Anupam discovers that Aarti has been discussing business secrets with Payal - thereby explaining why Payal's company manages to come up with better bids for projects. He tells Mihir about his concerns and Mihir asks Kiran to ensure that Aarti can't leak out business details again.

Kiran gives Aarti a dressing down and Aarti says she will give up working.

Mihir meets Mandira and talks to her. Payal, who's also present, notes this and files it away in her memory for future use.

Tulsi, to her horror, discovers that Mandira has sent Mihir a card. She is worried about it.

It's Anupam's birthday and Mandira tells him that she has thought of a novel way to celebrate it. Tulsi is perturbed about the card Mihir has received from Mandira. She wonders if he has given Mandira the saree he bought for her. Even as she is trying to make sense of it, Mihir lands up with a saree for her, confusing her all the more.

Hemant and Kiran discuss the tension at home and decide to talk to Mihir and Aarti and ask them to help prevent more trouble at Shantiniketan.

Payal tells Hemant that the root of all the trouble is Mihir's relationship with Mandira - she goes on to insinuate that Mihir is meeting Mandira on the sly.

Payal spots Mandira buying a gift for Anupam. She orders a gift and sends it to Anupam, putting Tulsi's name on the card.

Anupam calls Tulsi to thank her for the gift, but ends up speaking to Savita, who finds the fact that Tulsi has sent him a gift, disturbing.

Savita confronts Tulsi and asks her why she sent the gift to Anupam. Tulsi denies having done so.

Chirag and Daksha argue again about Prajakta. Mihir tells Chirag that he will support him, as long as he doesn't do anything that will besmirch the family's honour.

Aarti's doctor tells her and Kiran that she will probably be unable to bear children. However, the doctor reassures them that they might be able to help Aarti, with the help of modern medical techniques. Kiran asks the doctor to keep Aarti's condition a secret from his family.


Anupam and Mandira go to a restaurant to celebrate his birthday. Mihir and Tulsi land up at the same restaurant. Tulsi and Mandira are wearing identical sarees and Mihir hugs Mandira, mistaking her for Tulsi.

Mihir feeds Tulsi cake and she drinks out out of his glass. Mandira is left watching them. To hide her anger, she toys around with a glass and ends up cutting her hand.

Tulsi asks Mihir why he lied to her about the saree he gave Mandira. Mihir accuses her of lying to everyone about the gift she gave Anupam. Tulsi denies having given Anupam any gift, but Mihir refuses to believe her. Tulsi then makes up her mind to confront Mandira.

Tulsi meets Mandira at the restaurant and asks her to stay away from Mihir. Mandira tells her that she and Mihir are friends, and if Tulsi thinks that their relationship is a threat to her marriage, she should talk to Mihir about it.

Tulsi then tells Mandira that no matter how much she loves Mihir, she will never be able to take him away. She then goes to Anupam's office and asks him why he lied to Savita that she had sent him a gift. Anupam shows her the card that came with the gift. Tulsi tells him that the writing on the card is not hers. Anupam is left wondering who might have sent him the gift.

Ba and Babuji's anniversary is on the cards and Savita, Daksha and Gayatri plan to take the family out to dinner to celebrate. Tulsi plans to get Ba and Babuji remarried. She gets cards printed and everyone in the house gets down to the task of organising the wedding.

The Viranis give Amba and Govardhan the card and tell them about the wedding. Ba and Babuji tell Mihir and Tulsi how they first met each other.

Payal's mother tells her to be careful and not do anything that might get in the way of her marriage with Hemant.

Anupam wonders why Tulsi refused to acknowledge that she sent the gift. Mandira says she might have done so for fear of offending her in-laws. Anupam says someone who wants to harm the Viranis must have sent the gift.

Payal finds an envelope in the magazine that Tulsi is reading, and steals it. The envelope contains the letter and the photo of Mihir and Mandira that Tulsi's friend Deepak had taken. Payal writes a letter and addresses it to Tulsi and plots to use it to separate Mihir and Tulsi. She then replaces the envelope. Tulsi sees the photos and is heartbroken.

Kesar sees the photo and Tulsi tells her that Mandira is the cause of all her problems. Kesar tells her she will tackle the problem for her.

Tulsi tells Mihir that Mandira's presence in their life is getting larger than life. Mihir tells her that they should be grateful to Mandira, because it is thanks to her that he regained his memory.

Kesar shows Anupam the letter and the picture of Mihir and Mandira. Anupam tells her he will take care of the matter.

He then shows Mandira the photograph and asks her what she is up to. Mandira tells him that the photo was taken when she was in Delhi and Mihir was in her care. She tells him there is nothing more to it than that.

[amol]

Tulsi is furious with Kesar and tells her she should not have handed over the photo to Anupam. She then calls Anupam and tells him she wants to meet him. Anupam comes home and tells Tulsi that Deepak is responsible for creating a misunderstanding between Mandira and Tulsi. Tulsi tells him Deepak can be trusted.

Anupam tells Mandira to forget Mihir and get on with life. She then tells Anupam that if he can get her Mihir, she will never ask him for anything for the rest of her life.

Aarti tells Payal that she can never have children. Payal advises her not to tell anybody in the family that. She then goes to Gayatri and tells her about Aarti's problem. She also tells Gayatri that she has been trying to persuade Aarti to talk to everyone. Chirag overhears both these conversations, and is convinced that Payal is up to no good.

Deepak comes to meet Tulsi and tells her that the photo she has is the one he had sent, but the letter and envelope are different.

Chirag talks to Mihir about Payal. They decide to tell JD everything.

Gayatri talks to Savita and lets it slip out that Aarti cannot bear children. Savita is shocked and hurt that no one told her about it.

Sejal returns home and tells her parents that she has left Anand. JD calls up Anand and tells him that they must now put an end to this problem.


Kesar goes to meet Anupam. She apologises for her behaviour. Anupam tells her that he will forgive her, if she goes out for coffee with him.

JD and Anand tell Sejal about their plan to make her realise how selfish she was acting. Sejal realises her mistake and asks Anand to forgive her.

Savita tells Aarti that she will take her to a doctor who might be able to help her. She also asks Aarti not to conceal the truth from her in the future. Aarti wonders why Payal talked to Gayatri about her.

Mihir discovers that Payal owns a majority of the stake in Virani Industries. He tells Kiran that this could be a threat to the Viranis.

Anupam and his mother show Mandira pictures of prospective grooms. Mandira tells them that the only one she wants to marry is Mihir. Her mother threatens to hit her, but Anupam stops her.

Mihir tells Kiran that they have to talk to JD to stop Payal. He also shares his fears about Payal with Tulsi. She advises him not to do anything that will hurt Hemant. Mihir then goes to talk to Hemant, but sensing his happiness, doesn't tell him anything.

Kiran gives Aarti her project files and asks her to take up the project again. Aarti refuses to do so, telling him that she does not want to give Savita cause for complaint.

Pinku tells Prajakta how he has planned to stage a wedding between her and Chirag, and make it appear like part of the film shoot.

JD wonders how to tell Gayatri about Payal.

Mandira comes to meet Mihir. Payal sees them together. She talks about this to Hemant. He tells her that Tulsi has been worried about them, ever since she saw the photograph of Mandira and Mihir.

Anupam meets Deepak, who tells him about the circumstances under which he clicked the photographs. Deepak recognises the handwriting as Payal's. He tells Anupam about his fears.

Ba and Babuji assure Chirag that they will support him and help him marry Prajakta.

Payal tells Tulsi that Mandira had come to meet Mihir in the office. Anupam talks to Mihir about his conversation with Deepak. Mihir decides to talk to Tulsi about what he has discovered. Tulsi tells him that she is not concerned about Payal - she is worried about Mandira. She tells herself that Mihir is blaming Payal only to save his face.

Savita asks Tulsi what is going on between her and Anupam. She asks Tulsi to watch her step with Anupam.

Mihir meets Mandira at a restaurant. He tells her to forget Amar. Hemant and Payal walk into the restaurant and find the two of them there.

Tulsi pours her heart out to Ba.

Pooja tells Rajeev that she wants to take him to America to get him treated. He says it is of no use. But she refuses to listen to him and he is forced to agree.

Daksha, Chirag and the others set off for the "shooting" - Chirag's wedding.

Prajakta arrives for the wedding. Pinku pays the pandit to complete the wedding in 15 minutes.

Chirag and Prajakta's wedding begins. Prajakta's father turns up just before the wedding is completed and denounces her. Daksha also leaves the hall.

Prajakta and Chirag come home. Everyone blesses them, but Daksha slaps Chirag and refuses to forgive him Chirag tells Prajakta that they now have to try and win Daksha over.

The doctor tells Pooja that Rajeev will not live much longer, and that there is no use in taking him to America.

Prajakta's dad is furious with her, but her mother persuades him to forgive her. They come over to the Viranis' with gifts for Prajakta and Chirag. Prajakta's mom asks Daksha to forgive Chirag and Prajakta and to accept their wedding. Daksha tells her that no one can become a part of her family without her permission.

Rajeev tells Pooja that he doesn't want to die so soon.

Mihir and JD wonder what they can do to stop Hemant's wedding.

Hemant goes to invite Pooja to his wedding and finds out about Rajeev. He rushes over to the hospital and tells Pooja that he will help her.

Mandira calls Mihir and Tulsi picks up the phone. She refuses to let Mihir speak to Mandira, but Mihir insists on doing so. Tulsi and Mihir then fight over this issue.

Kesar finds Tulsi crying over Mihir and Mandira. She makes up her mind to meet Mandira and Anupam.

Prajakta cooks for Suhasi. Daksha sees Suhasi eating the food Prajakta made and threatens to throw it out, but Suhasi stops her.

Gayatri tells JD that Payal's folks have invited them over for dinner. JD wonders how to break the news about Payal to her.

Rajeev makes Pooja promise that she will take care of herself and will not pine away for him. She promises him, and he dies.

Hemant tells Payal to spend as much time as she can with Pooja, and cheer her up. Daksha is rude to Prajakta again and Chirag consoles the latter.

Mihir goes to meet Mandira. She tells him that she is carrying his child. He shouts at Mandira and asks her why she did not tell him about the pregnancy earlier. She asks him to remember the night she spent with him. Mihir remembers that they had both celebrated his speedy recovery and had got high on wine. He also recollects that he had gone into Mandira's bedroom, mistaking it for his own.

Mandira tells him that she intends to give birth to their child. Mihir tries to dissuade her, but she walks away. Mihir then cries out to God and wonders what he should do.

Tulsi tells Mihir not to worry on her account. She tells him that she needs his help to get rid of her insecurity. Later, Tulsi discovers that she is pregnant.

Tulsi sees Mihir lost in thought and asks him if he is thinking about the child. Mihir thinks she is talking about Mandira's child and asks her if she is happy with the news. Tulsi, who is talking about her child, says she is. She also tells Mihir that he should react more positively, since she has told him that she is expecting a child. Mihir now knows that Tulsi is also pregnant.

JD, Gayatri and Hemant go over to Payal's house for dinner. JD again wonders how Hemant will react when he comes to know the truth about Payal.

Anupam asks Mihir to stop meeting Mandira. Mihir wonders how he will react when he discovers that Mandira is pregnant.

JD overhears a conversation that Payal is conductiong, which convinces him that what Mihir and Chirga told him was right.

Kesar tells everyone that Tulsi is pregnant. Savita is thrilled, but she is also hurt that Tulsi did not tell her this herself. She tells Tulsi that she considered her a daughter, but by hiding this fact, she has proved that she is only a daughter-in-law. Tulsi tells Aarti that she does not have to feel sad that she does not have kids - she convinces Aarti that she is Gautam's mom too, because she has helped bring him up.

JD tells Mihir about the conversation he overheard. Hemant calls Pooja and talks to her.

Mihir calls up Anupam to tell him about Tulsi's pregnancy. Mandira's mom discovers that her daughter is also pregnant.

JD tells Mihir he wishes he had known about Payal's plan earlier, so that he could have stopped her. Payal invites Tulsi to dance, but Mihir stops her, telling Payal that Tulsi is pregnant. Payal then invites Mandira, who hopes that Mihir will stop her too, but he does not. Mandira dances and her head starts reeling.

[amol]

Daksha tells Savita that they should both ensure that their daughters-in-law don't get out of hand. Payal comes to meet JD and wish him a speedy recovery.

Mandira calls up Mihir and tells him that her mother knows about her pregnancy. He also advises her to have the child aborted, but she refuses to listen to him. Mihir wonders why he still can't remember any details of the night he spent with Mandira.

Payal convinces Aarti to go along with her to a doctor. In the meantime, Chirag and Kiran rifle through Payal's cabin for some papers.

Savita shouts and Tulsi and asks her not to suspect Mihir of having an affair with Mandira.

Kiran and Chirag tell JD that Payal has only 10 per cent of her shares and that she has sold the remaining 12 per cent. JD smells a plot in this too.

Payal takes Aarti to a maternity clinic. There, she spots Mandira.

Payal asks the doctor what Mandira was doing at her clinic. The doctor tells her that two doctors don't always have to meet on business.

Payal then tells her mom that she saw Mandira at the clinic. She adds that she suspects that something's amiss.

Savita is thrilled that Payal took Aarti to a doctor. Mandira calls Mihir to tell him that she went to the doctor. He is unable to answer her call, since he is in a meeting.

After the meeting, Mihir calls her up and tells her they can meet in the evening and find a solution to their problem. Payal overhears their conversation and wonders what problem they're talking about.

JD tells Chirag and Kiran that Payal must be planning something really big. They suggest that Hemant should know the truth, but JD stops them from telling Hemant.

Tulsi hears the voicemail Mandira left for Mihir. She wonders what Mandira might have to do with a gynaecologist.

Payal follows Mihir and Mandira. She loses them somewhere in the crowd. Aarti calls her up and asks her to pick up her glasses from the doctors clinic. Payal goes to the clinic and finds Mihir and Mandira there. She discovers that Mandira is pregnant.

Pragya comes home for Rakhi. She is curt to Savita and Daksha, and tells herself that although she is well off now, she can never forget the humiliation they subjected her to.

Anupam asks Mandira to forget Mihir as a favour to him on the occasion of Rakhi. She refuses to do so. He brushes her rakhi aside, sends the plate full of sweets clattering to the ground and leaves.

Anupam goes to Mandira's room later while she is sleeping and picks up the rakhi from her table. Mandira tells her mom that Anupam has taken the rakhi, but not blessed her.

Her mom tells her that he has signed over the house to her. She says that Anupam probably suspects something about her pregnant condition, and that the house will come in handy if Mandira refuses to get the pregnancy terminated.

Anupam tells Mandira she should return to Delhi, since her practice there is flourishing. Mandira wonders how to get more time, and tells him that she is willing to marry anyone he wants her to.

Savita and Gayatri are miffed that Suhasi's godbharai is being planned, and Daksha has not told them anything about it. They then discover that the plan is Ba's, not Daksha's. The three bahus then decide that they need to safeguard their position in the house, and unite against everyone else.

Anupam tells Mihir that Mandira has agreed to get married. Mihir is surprised. Payal visits Mandira and tells her that she knows about her pregnancy. She tells Mandira that no one will come to know if the two of them don't talk about it. After she leaves, Mandira tells herself that if Payal leaks the news, it might make it easier for her to get Mihir.

Tulsi tells Mihir she wants to see a doctor. She mentions the name of the doctor Mandira went to. Mihir tries to dissuade her and Tulsi gets suspicious. Mihir has no choice but to agree.

Mandira tells Mihir that Payal knows that she is pregnant. Mihir is shocked and worried. Tulsi calls him at the office and Mihir gets sentimental.

Hemant goes to meet Pooja and she tells him that people might look upon their relationship with suspicion. Hemant tells her that he wants to show the world that their relationship is above such suspicion.

Savita asks Mihir what he is worried about. Mihir tells her he's trying to get over a part of his life. She wonders what he could be talking about.

Anupam tells Mandira that a prospective groom is coming over to meet her. She calls Mihir, who tells her to manage the situation for a day. Mandira's mom tells her to talk to Anupam about her pregnancy.

Payal realises that Hemant's feelings for Pooja are coming to the fore again. She makes up her mind that she will not let this happen.

Mandira's mom asks her to consider Anupam's feelings and to tell him the truth about herself.

Rahul, the man Anupam wants Mandira to marry, comes to meet her. Mandira starts telling him something, but Rahul tells her he knows everything about her past and does not want to know anything else.

Savita is distressed about Kesar staying for so long at the Viranis'. She makes up her mind to talk to her. Anupam tells Mandira that he will not promise Rahul anything unless she agrees to the wedding.

Mandira tells Mihir that she is willing to marry Rahul only if he will accept her with her child. Mihir tells her to abort her child.

Savita suggests to Kesar that she should return to Haridwar. Tulsi promises Kesar she will speak to Savita.

Payal tells her mother she has the Viranis under her control.

JD tells Mihir that the company has decided that he should be made MD. Mihir wants to tell him that he is worried about Mandira, but he does not say so.

Tulsi tells Savita and Gayatri that Mihir wanted Kesar to stay on and finish her studies. Savita tells Kesar that if Mihir wants her to stay on, she has no objection. But she later tells Gayatri that she doesn't like Tulsi involving Mihir in everything. Savita tells Gayatri she will make Mihir get rid of Kesar.

The man Payal calls often to check up on the status of her shareholdings, calls on her. We get to see that he is none other than Rahul, the man who is supposed to marry Mandira.

Rahul tells Payal that he is planning to get married to Mandira. Payal tells Tulsi this and the latter is overjoyed.

Anupam tells Mandira to make up her mind about the proposal soon. Rahul tells Payal that his parents have agreed to his wedding with Mandira. She tells him that he should not marry her, since she is pregnant.

Rahul calls Anupam, and tells him his parents want to talk to him. Rahul's parents tell Anupam that the wedding cannot take place, since Mandira is pregnant. Anupam is furious, and accuses them of casting aspersions on Mandira's character, but they ask him to return home and ask Mandira to tell him the truth.

Mandira calls Mihir and tells him that Anupam knows about her pregnancy. Mihir then goes into a meeting. Anupam comes to the meeting, and leaves immediately. On his way out, he tells Mihir that he wants to talk to him.

Mihir tells Anupam that he, as Mihir, is not responsible for the actions of Amar. He also says that Mandira can save the day by going in for an abortion. Anupam is furious and asks him to leave. Rahul calls Payal and tells her that his wedding has been called off. Payal is ecstatic and wonders how she can tell Tulsi about Mandira.

At Payal's birthday party, Mandira feels unwell. Payal sees her puking and tells her she will get her the tablets she needs. Payal then asks one of her guests to ask Tulsi for medicines taken during pregnancy. In trying to get the medicines to the perosn who needs them, Tulsi discovers that Mandira is pregnant.

Mihir tells Tulsi that Mandira's child is probably his. Tulsi tells Ba this and she is shocked.

Savita confronts Tulsi and asks her why she is making life tough for Mihir. Tulsi tells her to question Payal or Mandira about the reason for her unhappiness. Savita speaks to Payal and finds out that Mandira is pregnant.

Savita and Mansukh ask Mihir if what Payal has told them is true. JD and Himmat tell Mansukh that they will have to rally around to see the family through this crisis. Ba shouts at them and tells them that Mihir cannot be responsible for Mandira's pregnancy.

Mihir tells Ba that what everyone is accusing him of is true. She is shocked, but tells him that she will support him. JD tells Tulsi that Mihir needs her to understand his predicament. He tells Tulsi that Mihir is stuck in the same situation she would have been, if Mihir had returned after she had got married to Anupam.

Savita apologises to Tulsi for having shouted at her. She asks Tulsi to be patient with Mihir, but Tulsi is curt with her.

Pooja calls Hemant and asks him for help with some papers. Hemant tells Payal that Pooja had called, and she is not pleased.

Ba and Babuji tell Mihir that they are worried about Tulsi. Mihir asks them what he should do.

Gayatri and Savita want to tell Payal's parents about Mandira's pregnancy. Payal tells them this is a matter best left within the walls of the Virani household.

Mandira agrees to an abortion. Her mother is happy, but Anupam tells her that the damage is already done.

Tulsi refuses to talk to Mihir or even stay in a room with him. Savita finds her sleeping in the hall. She goes to their room and finds that Mihir is not there either.

Anupam and his mom take Mandira to her doctor for an abortion. The doctor tells her it is too late for an abortion. Mandira tells her she is willing to undertake any risk, but Anupam stops her. On their way out of the clinic, they bump into Kiran.

Ba takes Tulsi to the temple, where the pujari tells another couple that when a man and woman get married, they agree to accept the other's bad qualities, along with the good.

[amol]

Savita tells Tulsi to be more tolerant of Mihir. Anupam calls Mihir and tells him that the doctor has advised Mandira against an abortion.

Payal is worried that Hemant seems to be meeting Pooja often. Mandira asks Mihir to sign on the abortion papers, but her refuses. This incenses Tulsi further. Gayatri tells Savita that Tulsi should learn to be more tolerant.

Ba asks Mansukh to talk to Savita and ask her to be more lenient with Tulsi. Mansukh asks her to explain the situation to Savita herself.

Mandira tells Mihir that Anupam wants her to go away to some other city and give birth to her child.

Kiran tells Aarti that Payal is not worth trusting. Savita tells Tulsi not to vent her ire on everyone in the house.

Kiran, Mihir and JD wonder how to tackle the problems of Mandira and Payal. Payal tells Hemant to talk to Anupam to sort out Mihir's troubles.

A friend calls Savita and asks her if the rumours about Mandira and Mihir are true. Hemant tells Mihir that he saw him sleeping on the sofa at night. He tells Mihir he is worried about him and Tulsi. Mihir comes to know that Hemant got to know about Mandira's pregnancy via Payal. Mihir wonders how to tell Hemant about Payal.

Payal goes to meet Savita. They discuss Mihir's problem, Tulsi and Mandira.

Payal, who had spoken ill of Mandira to Hemant, decides to favour her in her conversation with Savita. JD and Mihir decide that it's high time Payal was stopped.

Hemant goes to Pooja's house to help her sort out Rajeev's financial and legal matters. Payal accompanies him. There, she overhears Hemant asking Pooja to call him whenever she needs help. She isn't pleased.

While Anupam and Mihir are at a restaurant finalising a business deal, a nosy friend of the Viranis comes over and asks Mihir if the rumours being circulated about him are true. Mihir is embarrassed, but Anupam shouts at the lady and walks off.

Pooja comes to Hemant's office to ask him for help with Rajeev's papers. Chirag comes to know that his aunt, Raksha, is coming over with her kids.

The entire Virani household wonders what chaos Raksha will create when she turns up, because she is famous for turning the house upside down. Raksha lands up at the airport and starts her antics.

Pooja joins Hemant's office. Payal sees her there and is not pleased. She invites Pooja to go shopping with her the next day. She then tells her mom that she has a plan up her sleeve.

Raksha tells Chirag that she knows all about his marriage to Prajakta, and that she will not let the woman who shattered her sister's dreams, live in peace.

Payal buys a colourful saree for Pooja and suggests to her that she should get remarried. She even shows her photographs of prospective grooms. Pooja realises what Payal is trying to tell her and leaves.

Mihir offers to help Tulsi shop for clothes for Gautam, but she snubs him. He follows her into the shop. Tulsi and Mihir then bump into Mandira, who is also shopping for baby clothes.

Mandira meets Savita on her way home and tells her not to blame Mihir for what has happened. Savita tells her that she understands her situation. Mandira then gives Savita a T-shirt for Gautam.

Tulsi sees Gautam in the T-shirt and is stunned - because she knows that Mandira had bought it. Savita saves the situation by telling her that she bought the T-shirt. But later, Savita tells her the truth.

Raksha and her kids drive Himmat out of his room and force him to sleep on the couch at night.

Payal gets Tulsi a gift. She then tells Tulsi that the T-shirt Gautam has been given has actually been bought by Mandira. She advises Tulsi to join hands with her, if she wants to get the better of her mother-in-law.

Tulsi then tells Savita that the T-shirt she bought has torn. She asks Savita to buy Gautam another one, instead of passing on a gift from someone else.

Ba tells Tulsi that her birthday is coming up, and she should perform a pooja along with Mihir. Tulsi is reluctant, but Ba persuades her to agree. Hemant, Chirag and the rest plan a party to celebrate Tulsi's birthday, which is also coming up soon.

Mihir leaves a card and flowers next to Tulsi's bed. She wakes up, discovers them, and tells him that the gift he has bought for her pales in comparision to the one he has given her before her birthday.

After the pooja is performed, Mihir leaves in a hurry. Tulsi wonders where he can be going. Ba then tells Tulsi that she wants her to accompany her to an exhibition set up by her fashion designing class. She then takes Tulsi to the venue of the birthday party.

Tulsi then cuts her birthday cake and gives the first piece to Mihir. Pooja comes to the party and leaves immediately. Mandira sends Tulsi a bouquet. Tulsi is furious. She tells Mihir that Mandira must have done this to spoil their happy moment. She flings the bouquet to the ground and leaves.

Mihir stops Tulsi and asks her why she is victimising him. Tulsi tells him she can tolerate anything, but not the fact that someone is trying to steal her husband from her.

Mandira calls Mihir and tells him she wants to meet him. He refuses. She then tells herself that she will win the battle to gain his love.

Payal tells Hemant that she did not like Pooja's presence at Tulsi's birthday party. Hemant is furious.

Mihir tells Savita that he is tired of facing daily battles. Savita tells him that he should not run away from Mandira, and that she needs his support at this stage.

Payal sees Pooja coming into her office and she lies to her that JD and Hemant are not in office. JD sees Pooja walking away. Mihir tells him that Payal has again leaked some secrets about a contract. JD tells him that he will throw Payal out of the office and Hemant's life soon.

Kesar meets Anupam and asks him why Mandira sent the bouquet on Tulsi's birthday. She asks him why he doesn't stop her from meeting Mihir. Anupam tells her Mandira does not listen to him. He tells her he has left everything to fate.

JD sees Raksha and her kids and hits upon a plan to deal with Payal.

Tulsi opens Savita's cupboard to take some silver vessels out. She sees the necklace that Savita and Gayatri had used to implicate her and it reminds her of her old rivalry with Savita. Tulsi then tells Savita that she will try to remain practical all her life and will let Gautam make his own decisions when he grows up.

Savita tells Gayatri and Payal that Mandira oftens calls Mihir, asking him to meet her. She says she is worried about how Tulsi will react. Payal tells her that since Mihir is the father of Mandira's child, he should support her.

Payal then tells Tulsi that Mandira calls Mihir up often and talks to him. She tells Tulsi that if the Viranis start feeling sorry for Mandira, they might even accept her presence in Mihir's life.

Tulsi gets a Caller ID system installed on the phone in her room. Mihir tells Savita this and she sympathises with him.

[amol]

Payal is hurt in an accident. Hemanth goes to meet her and reassures her that she will be fine in time for the wedding.

Payal returns to office and asks Hemant why Pooja has not turned up. JD enters and tells Hemant that Pooja had come to office some days ago, but was told that neither he, nor Hemant, were in office. Hemant is furious.

The Viranis get ready to celebrate shitala pooja for the welfare of their children. Mandira also gets ready to pray for the welfare of her child. Her mother tries to dissuade her, but fails to do so.

Mandira regains consciousness. She tells the police that the Viranis have turned up at the hospital only because they are Anupam's business partners.

Mihir apologises to Tulsi for leaving the pooja midway. Tulsi tells him that Mandira is doing all this only to gain the family's sympathy. Mihir accuses her of not understanding the dilemma he is in.

Pragna , Ba and Babuji's daughter, come to visit the Viranis. She is rich now, since her husband Navin has done very well in his business abroad.

Gayatri and Savita are envious of her well-being. Pragna, who has not forgotten how the two insulted her and accused her of stealing, makes them feel worse by getting expensive gifts for everybody.

Navin suggests that his brothers-in-law expand their business.

Payal is happy that preparations are on in full swing for her mehndi. Gayatri looks at some invitation cards for the wedding and JD resolves to expose Payal's true face before the wedding.

Mihir tries to convince Hemant that he will be happy married to Pooja.

The pandit tells Ba and Dadaji that acoording to Mihir's horoscope, his stars are not favourable to him. He says that he has been spared a lot of bad luck thanks to the influence of Tulsi's horoscope. He tells them that Mihir's stars could have a bad impact on his unborn child. He also suggests a grah shanti havan to mitigate the ill effects of Mihir's fate.

JD meets Pooja and asks her to marry Hemant.

Pragya and Savita get into another tiff over Raghu. Raghu asks Savita for a loan of Rs 10,000, but she refuses to give him the money. Pragya decides that since Raghu had lent her money when she needed it desperately, it is time for her to return the favour.

Tulsi realises that she needs to fill the void she has created in the Virani family. She decides to send Gautam back. She asks Kesar to take Gautam to Shantiniketan.

Kesar takes Gautam to the Viranis. Everybody is pleased, but Mihir refuses to keep Gautam. He feels that Tulsi has given up on something that means a lot to her to keep the family happy, and he refuses to subject her to the trauma of separation from Gautam.

Kesar is touched and leaves Shantiniketan without Gautam.

Anupam meets Mihir and tries to assure him that what transpired was not Mihir's fault alone.

Pooja meets Tulsi and the latter tells her to seriously consider marrying Hemant.

Tulsi takes over the temple pujari's duties while he is away. Mandira comes to the temple and Tulsi helps her complete her pooja.

Aarti chastises Sejal for not paying attention to Gautam. Sejal talks to Gayatri about this and the latter tells her not to take Aarti's words to heart.

Savita hurts herself and accuses Pragya of being responsible. It turns out that Mansukh is the one at fault and Savita is forced to apologise to Pragya.

Pragya and JD discuss Gautam's birthday. They wonder how to get Tulsi to come to the celebrations. Pragya comes up with a trick. She and JD tell everyone that they've planned a party at home. Savita is upset and decides to throw a party at a restaurant. Pragya is thrilled, because she knows that Tulsi can now attend the party.

Pragya notices that Ba misses Tulsi a lot. She talks to her brothers and they decide that Tulsi should be asked to return.

Mansukh, JD and Himmat go to Ba, along with their children, and tell her to bring Tulsi back. Ba asks them if this is what Gayatri and Savita want as well. She then tells the family to meet her in the living room, since she has something important to say to them.

Ba calls everybody and asks them why they want Tulsi back. She then tells them that their reasons are selfish, and that she will not let Tulsi get humiliated again.

Ba tells them that by insulting Tulsi, they have subjected her, the mother of the Virani sons, to disrespect. She hands over the almirah keys to Babuji, disowns the Viranis and walks out of the room.

Babuji later finds Ba contemplating the days spent with Tulsi. She tells him that as the head of the family, he could have prevented the injustice done to Tulsi. Since he did not speak up, she disowns him too.

The family tries to convince Ba to join them for dinner, but she refuses to listen to them.

Savita tries to use Mihir to pacify Ba, but her ploy does not work. Kesar goes to Anupam's office to get his interiors done.

Savita calls Mandira for a special puja that she has organised for the safety of her child. Gayatri tries to dissuade Savita, but the latter is adamant.

Mandira comes for the puja. Mihir goes to the ceremony Tulsi is conducting for their child.

At the time of the ceremony, Mandira's saree gets soiled and Savita takes her to her room to change into another one. We then get to see that Mandira is faking her pregnancy.

Savita insists that even if Tulsi is not around, everyone should go ahead with the plan to play the dandiya.

At the dandiya, Pragya manages to make Savita lose to Gayatri. Mandira's pregnancy is highlighted when a dandiya stick hits her stomach, but she does not react. Mihir receives a mysterious phone call.

Everyone is upset that Tulsi has left for Haridwar without telling them. Savita and Pragya have an argument again.

Sejal tells Aarti that she should not get very attached to Gautam, since he is someone else's child.

Pragya's husband gets a business proposal involving a lot of money. JD and Mansukh agree to it, but Himmat is hesitant.

Pragya discovers that her diamond ring is missing.

Kesar tells Anupam that his sister is responsible for all that injustice Tulsi and Mihir have suffered. Anupam agrees with her.

Aarti tells Kiran that they should adopt Gautam. He tries to explain that it is not possible for them to do so.

Mandira's friend and gynaecologist, Salima, tells her that she cannot continue pretending to be pregnant without getting both of them into trouble. Sejal's relationship with Aarti deteriorates.

Gautam's sleeps till late, the next morning. Tulsi wakes him up with a loud rendition of aarti on the tape recorder.

Later, when Gautam demands for cigarettes, Tulsi tells him to buy them with his own money. Gautam refuses to eat the food as there is no non-veg and leaves the house.

Kiran wants to go back but Mansukh and Savita ask him to stay for a little while more.

When he returns, Gautam sneeks into Tulsi's room and looks for his passport. When Raghu intervenes, Gautam pushes him aside.

Shobha tells Savita and Tulsi about Gautam's behaviour towards Raghu. Gautam invites his friend's home for a beer party when the family has arranged for a pooja the same evening.

There is a puja to be performed in the house. Everyone is hopeful that Gautam will be a part of it. Kiran misses his daughter Karishma and calls her.

She gets to know that Gautam and Kiran are together in India. Shobha's friend informs her at college about her name being on the list of those who would audition for a mega youth event. She tells Shobha that Vishal a well known dancer from Delhi would be selecting the participants from their college.

Gautam invites his friends over to the house. Gautam's friends smuggle beer bottles into the Virani house. Tulsi is fooled by the t-shirt that is put on top in the bag used to carry the bottles in.

While the puja is on, Gautam and his friends have a party in his room. They drink and put on loud music which disturbs everyone during the puja.

She is disgusted at Gautam's behaviour and in fit of anger she asks him to leave as well. He leaves. Kiran talks to him and explains the circumstances in which he was adopted.

Gautam is still angry though he feels that Tulsi has got her punishment by cutting her hand. He stays in his room. The next day he appears at tea time, much to everyone's surprise. Tulsi however has still not forgiven him. Ba talks to her.

Shobha impresses everyone with her dance. Gautam comes down from his room to ask Raghu to get him a packet of cigarettes. Tulsi wonders where he got the money from to buy it.

Tulsi is still wondering where Gautam got the money from when Savita tells her that she had gave him the money. She explains that she was only trying to help by giving in to small demands so that he would come around and accept the family faster.

Vishal Mehra informs Shobha that she has been selected to participate in the dance event. She asks him if he wants to visit her house for Holi. He accepts the invitation. Later he presents her with a classical music CD.

It's the day before Holi and the family has planned for a puja. Everyone is part of it. Tulsi goes to call Gautam. But he refuses to come since he wants to smoke.


Tulsi takes his packet away and asks him to join the others in the puja. Once there Tulsi forces him to take part in the puja. She promises to return the pack after he the puja.

But later Tulsi throws the packet in to the fire and when Gautam sees this, he gets angry. Tulsi and others are happy that Gautam participated in the puja.

Mansukh, JD and Himmat go to wish Ba for Holi and apply the colour as shagun like always. However, she supprises them by saying that this year she feels like celebrating Holi along with the others.

She fools Indu as she applies colour on Indu's face while telling her its a face pack!

The Virani family celebrate Holi in full swing. Gautam is also drawn out. When his friends want to put colour on Shobha he protects her.

All the fun, however, is spoiled for Tulsi when she discovers a liquor bottle thrown near Babuji's photograph in the house. She automatically suspects that Gautam for this.

Gautam suspects his friends for getting the bottle home but they deny it and Vicky blames on Saahil instead.

Shobha goes to Vishal's office to meet him. Saahil speaks to Gautam but in response, Gautam taunts him.

Saahil suspects Tushar and Aniket and he finds a similar bottle in their car. He then speaks to Tulsi about Gautam being innocent and tells her that it was his NRI friends who left the bottle at home.

Tulsi feels bad about blaming Gautam. She apologises to him. Baa who is listening to the entire conversation refuses to eat anything before Gautam lights the lamp infront of Dadaji's photograph.

Gautam appears at the birthday bash of Indu. He reminds Kiran that it is Karishma's birthday as well. Tulsi asks Gautam for the passport only to see that it has already been returned by him.

Everyone is happy as they feel that Gautam is transforming. Gautam himself softens up towards the family. Then the unpredictable happens. Gautam overhears a conversation of the family members and misunderstands.

Gautam overhears what is being discussed by Tulsi and family and misunderstands. On the basis of that he decides that the Viranis are only after his money. He also decides to beat them at their own game.

While Tulsi is worrying about the adjustments that Shobha will have to make in the family she will wed in, Payal is also worried. She is apprehensive whether the girl that Vishal has chosen will be suitable for the family from the perspective of her political career.

Gautam realises that Tulsi was the one making the fast food for him all this while. Mrs Vaishnav comes and meets Gayatri with a marriage proposal for Saahil.

Payal calls up Vishaal to tell him that she is coming to Bombay for some work and in the process will meet Shobha too.

Payal meets Shobha but she is not impressed with her at all. Tulsi goes shopping and Payal is shopping in the same departmental store.

Vishaal tells Shobha that Payal had her apprehensions about the two of them getting married. Mrs Vaishnav goes to Shalini's house and informs them that Pooja and Tulsi will be coming to see Shalini.

Shalini is upset to hear about the proposal because she doesn't want to get married to Saahil as she is interested in someone else. She tells her friend Ganga about it and then Ganga decides to go and speak with Pooja and Tulsi.

Both Pooja and Tulsi are impressed with Ganga. Shobha goes to meet Payal. Payal comes to know that Shobha is Mihir's and Tulsi's daughter. She is happy.

Mihir is shocked when he is told that Gomzi is actually Gautam. Tulsi tells him all that they have kept from him till now. Gautam on the other hand is very upset by Mihir's behaviour in the office.

Mihir is angry with his family members for not telling him the truth about Gautam earlier. He questions everyone in the family. In the office Anupam takes him to the godown and shows him the material that Gautam had refused to export. It is of bad quality. Mihir realises his mistake and goes to meet Gautam.

But she is driven by her hatred for Viranis to care about anyone, even her son. Tulsi tells Mihir about Shobha's preference for Vishal. He is keen to meet Vishal's parents. He calls up and Payal picks up the phone.

Payal gets a call from Mihir and is keen to go and meet the Viranis once again. Mihir tells Tulsi about his day at work with Gautam. He also tells her that he does not like Gautam's habit of smoking. Tulsi later tries to coax Gautam into not smoking in front of Mihir.

Payal and Aarti bond on the past friendship that they used to share when they were young. Payal then enquires about the Viranis and Aarti tells her that she has nothing to do with them anymore. She tells Payal about her divorce with Kiran and about Gautam leaving her. Payal is curious to know why Aarti is in town then, so Aarti tells her that she is here for the plot, which was hers but now coincidentally belongs to Payal. Payal then admits that she knows that the plot belonged to Aarti and that's the reason she purchased it… but on Aarti's name! Aarti is very grateful and pleased with Payal. Payal thinks to herself about how she is doing all these to get back at the Virani's.

Indu announces that even she wants to learn to cook and everyone is amused, as she wants to cook for her rich and handsome actor who she would marry since she herself has now become an actress.

Aarti tells Payal how she wants to build a huge industrial development on the plot and make Gautam the boss. They both again discuss their bitterness regarding the Viranis and they both promise to keep in touch.

She enters the house with a vengeance, sees the tulsi plant and pulls out a stem in anger and throws it. The members of the house are anxiously waiting for Mrs. Mehra… only to be taken aback! Payal is insulted very badly and asked to leave the house by the VIrani's. Shobha is extremely upset and follows Payal to the house, only to be brainwashed by Payal. Tulsi tries to explain to Shobha about Payal's past but Shobha refuses to understand.

Vishal calls Payal, but Payal tells him that she is ok with the marriage. He then calls at the Virani house and Mihir takes the call and tells him never to call again. Shobha then calls Vishal and tells him everything. Tulsi and ba discuss how Payal is now using Shobha to get back at the Viranis.

Mihir decides to find a guy for Shobha to get her married, but JD tells him that it's not simple and reminds him that youngsters can be very irrational. At the dinner table Shobha is absent, Gautam goes and convinces her to eat and tells her that he will meet Payal and apologise to her on everybody's behalf.

They go to meet Payal and Payal refuses to accept the apology telling them it's not their fault and they are too young to interfere in adult matters. But she assures them that she is not against the marriage. Payal calls Aarti and tells her about her son's marriage with Tulsi's daughter. Aarti is surprised.

Mihir tells Tulsi that for the first time in so many years Anupam has betrayed his trust. Meanwhile in Haridwar, Ba, Indu and Karishma are having various experiences. Mihir gets a call from America; he appears tensed and tells the caller that henceforth all calls are to be made to his cell. Tulsi notices this. Mihir is really tensed. Prajakta shouts at Saavri and Baavri for failing in Mathematics again. Chirag later consoles Prajakta, asking her not to be so upset.

He is tensed at this question but tells her that its some business problem that has arisen due to Anupam because of which he has to rush there. Tusli asks him to be easy on Anupam.


Tulsi asks Hemant what was the reason for Mihir to leave in such urgency. Hemant tries to cover up by saying that it's just a business call and there is nothing to worry about. He later calls up Mihir and enquires about the situation. Mihir from the other end replies that it's quite serious. Tarun's friend Ronnie asks him if he could lend him Rs. 20,000 as he has to pay off to some club. Tarun is not sure about it as he cannot ask home for that kind of an amount. At home, Tarun sees Puja keep some money in the cupboard, which Hemant has given to her for the Diwali and the Wedding shopping.

While Saavri and Baavri are very happy to see him, Tulsi is not at all happy. Gautam buys gifts for Saavri and Baavri and tells Tulsi that they are gifts for his little sisters and that too from his own money. Tulsi is angry at his attitude. Shobha listens to the conversation between Payal and Vicky. Later she sees Payal enter her room and take some photographs of her out of an album. Shobha sees Payal give the same photographs to Vicky and Shobha is shocked at what she hears and sees.

Tulsi asks Hemant what was the reason for Mihir to leave in such urgency. Hemant tries to cover up by saying that it's just a business call and there is nothing to worry about. He later calls up Mihir and enquires about the situation. Mihir from the other end replies that it's quite serious. Tarun's friend Ronnie asks him if he could lend him Rs. 20,000 as he has to pay off to some club. Tarun is not sure about it as he cannot ask home for that kind of an amount. At home, Tarun sees Puja keep some money in the cupboard, which Hemant has given to her for the Diwali and the Wedding shopping. Ganga agrees to give tuition's to Saavri and Baavri again on the conditions that she they will have to come over to her place and that she will not charge any money.

Tulsi and Prajakta invite Ganga for shopping. She agrees to go with them. At the departmental store, they encounter Gautam with Teesha. While Saavri and Baavri are very happy to see him, Tulsi is not at all happy. Gautam buys gifts for Saavri and Baavri and tells Tulsi that they are gifts for his little sisters and that too from his own money. Tulsi is angry at his attitude. Shobha listens to the conversation between Payal and Vicky. Later she sees Payal enter her room and take some photographs of her out of an album. Shobha sees Payal give the same photographs to Vicky and Shobha is shocked at what she hears and sees.

Shobha checks her wedding album and finds two of hers and Vishal's pictures missing. She then begins to see the connection and starts having serious doubts about Payal. Sahil goes to meet Aparna where she plays basketball. Raj (Aparna's ex- boyfriend calls her up) and asks her to meet him. She refuses and hangs up before getting into Sahil's car. In Haridwar, Ba, is explaining the meaning and rituals of various puja' to Indu and Karishma.

Tarun tells his friends that he was not able to arrange for the money. Rohit then suggest that they should kidnap Mr. Shriwastav's daughter. Everyone is shocked at this. Tarun is really tensed at his friends suggestion. Aparna meets Raj and tells him that he should just let their past go as now she is getting married. But Raj tries to persuade her that he still loves her a lot and he knows that she loves him too. Outside a school, Tarun, Ronnie, Manish and Rohit are waiting for Mr. Shriwastav's daughter. They have the whole plan chalked out on how to kidnap the girl.

Aparna calls up Ganga as she wants to meet her (this is after Ganga had seen Raj and Aparna together). Ganga invites her home. Saahil comes to Ganga's house with Baawari and he drops her off for tuition's. We are told that Saawari is not well. Ganga wants to talk to Saahil about Aparna but is unable to do so due to the presence of Baawari. Baawari informs Saahil and Ganga that Kushe will pick her up from Ganga's house and drop her to school. Saahil leaves.

Tulsi calls Mihir in the US. Mihir is in a hospital (we don't know where), he sounds all tensed, Tulsi enquires about his whereabouts and he tells her that he has come to see an injured employee. Tulsi hangs up and the nurse calls Mihir as the patient wants to meet him and he rushes. Baa is with Karishma in a pooja and Karishma enquires about the meaning of Panchamrat. Baa explains and Indu comes running and urges them to leave as she has managed to arrange for Tickets of the movie 'Road'. Baa and Karishma get upset with Indu for suggesting such a thing and Karishma tears off the tickets.

Aparna comes to Ganga's house and tells her that she was in love with Raj at some point in time but not anymore. But Raj is still in love with her. Ganga advises Aparna to be careful as three lives are at stake here. Tarun meets Ronnie Manish and Rohan and they inform him that they are planning to kidnap Khushe. Tarun wants to back out but they threaten him and tell him that they will inform his family about him being a part of the plan. Tarun tries to leave but they threateningly block his path. He doesn't have a choice. 11:30 in the morning Kushe talks to her father about picking up Baawari and the father tells her that he will send the car and it will get her to School.

The car reaches Ganga's house, Baawari leaves for School and bids goodbye to Ganga. Baawari reaches the school gate, the boys (ronny / manish and rohan) are parked behind the back gate. They see the car and they recognize the car. They think the girl in the car is Khushe. Manish gets out of the car and walks towards Baawari. He taps on her shoulder and as she turns around put a chloroformed hanky on her face. Suddenly a hawaldar interrogates the other boys who are waiting for manish to return. They somehow manage to avoid his questions and manish runs to the car and they run away with the girl.

Ganga and Saahil take a walk in a garden and discuss Tisha's sudden departure to Australia. Anupam catches Karan inside Mihir's office cabin, taking out information from Mihir's computer. He warns him never to enter Mihir's cabin when he is not around. Anupam doubts Karan's actions. Pooja informs Savita that Tulsi is going to Australia to talk to Tisha and her parents and to bring her back for Gautam. Savita agrees that Saahil and Ganga should be brought together.

Aarti comes quietly to Payal's house to meet her. Payal informs her that Shobha is at home. Aarti informs Payal that Gautam has sold a prime piece of Virani group's property to her. Payal is shocked. Aarti tells her that slowly she will buy all the properties of the Virani group. Payal corrects her and says that both of them will buy the properties. Shobha catches Aarti hiding in the garden and the two have a tiff.

[amol]

Savita comes to Gayatri's room and tells her that they should support Ganga and Saahil. She informs Gayatri that Tulsi is going to Australia to bring back Tisha as Virani family's daughter-in-law. Ba sees Tisha's picture in Gautam's room and feels repentant about cursing Tisha. Anupam informs JD about Karan's suspicious actions and advices him to keep him under control.

Tulsi apologises to Gautam for not being able to understand him. She tells him that she is very sad that Tisha left so suddenly, and that she was going to Australia to bring her back as Gautam's wife.

Tulsi arranges for her tickets to Australia. Gautam insists on coming with her, but she refuses. Ganga tells Saahil that Tisha is very fortunate to get a mother-in-law like Tulsi. They agree that they should let the elders in the family decide the outcome of their relationship. Kesar is upset with Anupam as he has not taken her out anywhere for a holiday.

JD sees Karan leaving office and follows him in his car. He sees Karan entering a Bungalow and coming out with Kabir. He realizes that Anupam was right in suspecting Karan and Kabir. He again follows them to the Hotel where Karan stays, and finds out his room number from the Hotel Manager. Savita and Gayatri come to meet Ganga. Gayatri apologises to her for her prior behaviour. Ganga is very happy when they express their support to her in getting Saahil and her together.

JD calls Karan to his office cabin to enquire about Kabir and his relationship. But Karan turns the table on him and tells him that Kabir is his friend on a personal level, whereas on a professional level, it was he who found out Kabir's fraud and had him thrown out of the Virani group. JD warns him that he will be keeping an eye on him.

Pooja informs Hemant that Gayatri had gone to meet Ganga and that everyone is ready to get Ganga and Saahil married. Hemant is very happy with the news. Pooja asks him if Mihir and he are hiding anything, but Hemant reassures her that everything is all right. Mansukh, Himmat and JD come to meet Ba. They tell her that this is the first time in their family that the daughter-in-law of the house will be going alone to Australia. Ba tells them that she cannot go with Tulsi.

Tulsi is ready to leave for Australia. The family gather together to see her off. Gautam feeds her some curd before she leaves as it is the family tradition to have curd before going for some auspicious work. Gautam and Harsh go to leave Tulsi at the airport.

While Tulsi is in Australia, Ba gets an angina attack in India. The entire Virani family is at unrest. Ba is hospitalized and there is a cloud of fear and tension lurking in the Virani household. The saddest part being that Tulsi is not around. So there is nobody to hold the family together. Nevertheless Savita takes hold of the situation and asks everybody to take it bravely. Ba's condition is very serious. At the same time they do not want to let Tulsi know about it since she cannot do anything about it being in Australia and it would only mean a lot of grief and helplessness for her.

Mansukh tells Pragya that Vikram is getting upset seeing her cry. Pragya is worried about Ba as she feels that Ba must be getting concerned with the absence of the family members. Savita decides to stay with Pragya and asks the others to go home. Mansukh decides that Pragya will stay with them.

Ba is surprised when she doesn't see the family members at home. Pooja tells her that the men have gone to work and Gayatri and Savita have gone shopping. JD tells Ba that she should not be roaming around the house, as per the doctor's orders, and that he had come back to give her company. Ba tells him that she wants to visit Naveen as both Pragya and Naveen have been asking her to visit them. She insists that JD should accompany her. He gets upset as he doesn't know how to break the news of Naveen's death to Ba. Mansukh tells JD and Himmat that only Tulsi can handle Ba.

Mansukh goes to receive Tulsi at the airport. She is surprised to see him there. Both want to talk to the other, but are unable to convey their problems to each other. Mansukh takes Tulsi directly to Pragya's house, where she is shocked to learn of Naveen's death. Pragya gets emotional upon seeing Tulsi. Tulsi is shocked to learn that Ba does not know of Naveen's death. Mansukh calls up JD and tells him that he was bringing Tulsi and Savita home. He tells JD that they will have to hide Pragya in the house for a few days, else Ba would find out the truth. Shobha informs Tulsi about Ba' s heart attack and her near-death experience. Tulsi goes to Ba's room. She gets emotional and tells Ba that she should have informed her about her illness, as she would have come back immediately. Tulsi is torn between telling Ba about Mihir and Mandira, and about Naveen's death.

Tulsi has a big confrontation with Savita. She is upset about not being told of Ba's illness. Savita explains that since Tulsi had gone to fix Teesha and Gautam's marriage, Ba had forbidden them from informing Tulsi as she would have gotten upset. Savita and Tulsi talk in tangents, Tulsi referring to Mihir and Savita to Ba. The Virani family is worried as to who will inform Ba about Naveen and how would she take it. Finally, Pragya musters the courage to face Ba. Everyone is tense.

Pragya goes to Ba's room to tell her about Naveen's death. Ba is very happy to see her and promises to stay with Naveen and her for a few days. Pragya starts crying and Mansukh tells Ba about Naveen. Ba breaks down on hearing the news. The entire family offers their support. Ba tells Mansukh that Pragya should stay with them for a few days.

Everyone has assembled in Pragya's house for the 13th day of mourning. Anupam and Kesar come to offer support to the family. Tulsi sees Anupam and wonders if he will ever keep connections with the Virani family when he finds out that Mandira is alive and that Mihir and she are still seeing each other. Tulsi is very worried and wonders how to tell the family about Mihir and Mandira. Savita is concerned about Tulsi.

Mihir comes to Naveen's house and consoles Pragya and Vikram. Tulsi doesn't know how to react when Mihir comes to her. She starts crying and walks out. Ganga follows her and asks her why she is so upset. Tulsi tells her that she has received so many bad news since she's come- Naveen's death and Ba's illness. She says that the worst thing to happen to any woman is when her husband leaves her and goes away. (She indirectly refers to Mihir).

Mihir comes to Tulsi. She is very angry with him. She tells him that he had hidden his relationship for 25 years. Her position had been usurped by Mandira. She is shocked when he asks her to forget everything. Mihir tells Hemant everything. He says that he has always taken Tulsi as his wife and no one can take her position. He is very worried as to how the family will react to the news.

Anupam overhears Karan talking to Kabir over the phone, where he tells Kabir that he has got Mihir's signature on the Power of Attorney, made out in Karan's name. Anupam is shocked. Anupam follows Karan to a Building where he goes into a flat and then leaves. Anupam then quietly takes out the key from the hidden place and enters the flat. He wonders how Karan could afford such a big place with his salary. He finds paper cuttings of Mihir in a drawer. He then notices a passport and is shocked to read the name as 'Karan Virani'

Karan goes out of Pragya's house. Mihir, Anupam and Gautam follow him to the gate. Anupam slaps Karan and tells him that he has cheated the Virani family and calls him a fraud. Gautam asks Karan to get out of the house. Mihir and Karan keep looking at eachother.Anupam and Hemant ask Mihir whether he knows Karan, and if there is any enimity between them, but Mihir refuses to divulge anything. Mihir and Tulsi 's. relationship continues to be strained. Mihir tries to explain the situation to Tulsi, but she refuses to listen. Karan calls up Mihir who asks him to meet him in his office.

Savita almost witnesses a fight between Tulsi and Mihir, but the former covers it up. Kesar comes to Shantiniketan to invite the family for a puja that Anupam is keeping to mark Mandira's birth anniversary. She wants Tulsi and Mihir to perform the puja. They are shocked.

Hemant tells mihir that it will be difficult for them to hide their secret from the rest of the family, as Tulsi already knows that Mandira is alive. Mihir breaks down and tells Hemant that Tulsi is not willing to listen to his version of the story. Baa calls the pujari to find an auspicious date for Teesha/Gautam and Ganga/Saahil's engagement and wedding. Tulsi expresses her wish for the marriage to take place as soon as possible. Savita agrees with her. Hemant is worried about Tulsi.

Tulsi remembers a few past instances which have been bothering her. She confronts Hemant about his knowing the truth about Mandira. She tells him that they share many relationships between them- that of a devar, friend, brother and son. But now she decides to break all relationships with him. She tells him that he was not worthy to be called 'Lakshman', who saved his bhabhi Sita by drawing the 'Lakshman Rekha', and neither was Mihir 'Ram'. Hemant breaks down completely. Pooja overhears the entire conversation and is shocked.

After Tulsi discloses the truth about Mihir and Mandira in the temple everybody comes back to shantiniketan dejected and disturbed. Tulsi in the middle of the night is missing from the house. Savita goes and tells Ba about it. They are tensed. Finally they find Tulsi praying in the temple outside their house. The Viraani family is faced with a big emotional trauma just before Gautam, Teesha and Saahil and Ganga's wedding.

Gautam and Teesha decide that they rather get married in the court than to have a big fanfare due to the afflicted atmosphere, currently prevailing in the house. Tulsi overhears their conversation and refutes back saying that they don't deserve to get affected by her trauma and that their wedding will take place with the usual fanfare keeping the Viraani family traditions alive. JD, Manasukh and Himmat also decide to go ahead with the wedding. There is a bit of doubt in Tulsi's mind with regards to, inviting Payal for the wedding ceremonies. Savita convinces her that it would be very inappropriate not to invite Payal. Payal comes down. Tulsi is very tensed cause she fears Payal taking advantage of the crisis that she is going through. This could also have repercussions on Shobha who is pregnant currently. The Mehendi ceremony begins and everybody is trying to put up a brave front with a smile of pretence to hide the truth from Payal and Shobha and let the celebrations go amicably.

Karan walks in the Mehendi ceremony. Everybody is tensed. He comes and touches Tulsi's feet. Payal is watching this, though she is unaware of Karan true identity. There is loads of drama happening in the mehendi ceremony with regards to Karan and Payal.

Ganga tells Karan not reveal the truth to Payal or Shobha as it can have major setbacks on Shobha. He also should consider this keeping in mind that Shobha is his stepsister. Karan agrees on the grounds of his friendship with Ganga and Saahil.

Payal on the other hand calls Aarti and informs her about Gautam's wedding. She also inquires about the property papers that she had tried to buy form Gautam. Aarti tells Payal that there is somebody by the name of Karan Mehta who has transferred 30% of the Viraani property on his name. Payal finds out his address and goes to meet him. She enters Karan house and tells him that she has the papers of some property sold to Aarti by Gautam. Karan asks her to sell the same to him. She wants to know Karan's reason for his enmity against the Viraani's. Karan refuses to reveal the truth.

It is Karan's Birthday and he is at the temple with Mandira. Karan is arrested in the Viraani property blast case. Mandira runs to Mihir to help her. Mihir gets to know that his own father Mansukh had got Karan arrested. Will mihir bail out Karan......

Karan finally manages to catch the real culprit behind the blast that almost killed Mansukh and injured Mihir. Even Tulsi is shocked to find out that it is not Karan and somebody else. Who is the culprit....... Is it Payal...Aarti...Gautam...or ......

Tissa tells Tulsi that she is pregnant. Savita tells Tulsi that she met Mihir and Mandira at the hospital. Tulsi decides to file for divorce with Mihir. Will Tulsi go ahead and ask Mihir to sign the papers ?

Mandira traps Mihir in a way that he bumps into Payal. Mihir threatens Payal that he will get her arrested. Mandira plants a thought in Payal's mind, to play shobha as a peg against the Viraani. How will Tulsi react to this? Karan takes over Mansukh's position as the Chairman. He introduces Payal, Aarti and Mandira as the new directors to join the Virani's group of industries. At the hospital, Payal tells Karan that Tulsi could be behind the poisoning of Mandira.

Mihir sees a woman run out of Shantiniketan in the night. She looked like Tulsi. When he goes and checks for Tulsi, Tulsi is sleeping in her room. There is a Tulsi look alike who is playing tricks with The Viraani's. she....???

Tissa's Godbharai ceremony is happening, on the otherside Mandira is talking to the mysterious lady and tells her to keep her act going till Tulsi is imorisoned. Mandira also lies to Karan that she has seen Tulsi poisoning her. Karan vows to take Mandira to Shantiniketan. Mihir tells Karan that he is ready to marry Mandira.

Payal tells Tulsi that Mihir is getting married to Mandira. Mihir goes to invite everybody at Shantiniketan for his wedding with Mandira. Mansukh slaps him. Payal tells Mandira that finally she has achieved her goal of possessing Mihir.


Tissa dies and the entire family is in deep state of shock. They perform her last rites with a heavy heart. Gautam is in a frozen state of mind. Tulsi is speechless.

Gautam gets to know that Mandira was behind the accident that killed Tissa. He pledges to avenge Tissa's death. Ganga realises that Mandira was actually trying to kill Tulsi.

Condolence meeting in honour of Tissa is being held. Tulsi is in great sorrow. Karan comes to pay homage to Tissa. Gautam has a verbal conflict with Tissa. He swears to avenge Tissa's death.

Karan and Gautam vow to take revenge at the temple while performing their respective last rites. Savita advises Tulsi to consider the option of getting back to Mihir. Payal instigates Karan to take Anupam's help and avenge Tissa's death.

Payal decides to once again use Shobha as a scapegoat to create tension in Tulsi's life. She humiliates Shobha in front of Vishal with regards to Mihir and Tulsi.

[amol]

Shobha comes to Shantiniketan and tells Tulsi and everybody else that she wants to divorce Vishal. Tulsi calls up Mihir and informs him about Shobha and Vishal wanting a divorce.

Gautam plots a situation wherein Damini is stuck with him in the office till late hours. Damini's parents reach the office to find Damini in Gautam's arms.

Gautam does not go to Bangalore. Gautam goes to the hospital and informs Damini's father about Karan and Damini's wedding. Mihir and Anupam decide to attend the wedding.

Damini is waiting for Karan at their wedding venue. A letter is handed over to Damini's father. It is from Karan saying that he is deserting Damini in order to teach her parents a lesson. Gautam offers to marry Damini.

Gautam offers to marry Damini but Damini refuses. She tries to call Karan but gets a no reply ring. Damini's father emotionally blackmails Damini and convinces her to marry Gautam. Gautam and Damini get married. Mihir calls Tulsi and informs her about the same. Tulsi is in a state of shock.

Tulsi is kidnapped! She struggles and tries to get rid of the kidnappers but fails. Here, everybody at Shantiniketan is worried about Tulsi. They also call up Priyanka to find out as Tulsi had last met her, but unfortunately Priyanka can't help them. Tears roll down as Baa prays in the temple for Tulsi, and suddenly sees some paper lying down, picks it up and reads in front of the family. Everybody is shocked to read the letter and find out that Tulsi left the house as her relation with Damini was not working out.

Damini now goes in her room and informs Karan about Tulsi leaving Shantiniketan. Karan is shocked and warns Damini to be careful with the other members. Vishal and Shobha also reach after hearing the news. Mihir by now is quite convinced that he should report this matter to the police. The Police start the investigation. Mihir now thinks about Tulsi having left the house and concludes that if she could manage the issue of Mandira then why not Damini.

Something is constantly bothering him that there is something to the whole story. On the other side we see Tulsi tied on a chair and is given an injection after which she falls unconscious, and we see Priyanka standing there.

Priyanka looks at Tulsi with anger and then calls up Shantiniketan to enquire about Tulsi to which Savita replies that they are still unable to find out anything about her. Priyanka feels good to hear this and then decides to change Tulsi's clothes by giving her a Salwar Kameez to change her identity to a gujarati lady. She instructs the two men to put Tulsi in the car and sits on the driver seat herself and tells them to follow her in another car. Gautam blames Damini for all this.

Damini decides to leave the house but is stopped by the family. Here Priyanka stands at the highway where she sees the police checking the car. Priyanka is tense and plans something to get away from this. Meanwhile Tulsi gains consciousness and on seeing around gets down from the car and runs. Priyanks follows her. Tulsi runs and tries to escape. while crossing the highway she dashes a car coming from the other end. She is badly hurt. Priyanka sees all this and is happy to know she is injured.

Baa sleeps in her room and suddenly wakes up. Ganga rushes to her room and tells her that it is a bad dream, which she saw. But Baa is not convinced by this. Meanwhile, all the members gather around her and try to console her. Mihir informs the inspector to start the investigation. The Inspector says that they are trying their best but are still not successful. On hearing this Baa breaks down and Mihir hugs her.

Ganga goes to a temple where she overhears Damini talking to Karan about Tulsi missing from Shantiniketan. Ganga is shocked. Ganga follows Damini as Damini goes to meet Karan. But Karan sees Ganga and asks Damini to leave immediately. Ganga comes home and narrates the whole situation to Sahil. Sahil now concludes that may be they are here to destroy the family. Here Mihir is worried about somebody playing a dirty game with the family. Sahil comes to Gautam and tells him that it was a wrong decision of marrying Damini. Gautam is disturbed. Gautam goes in search of Damini and to his surprise, sees her standing besides Karan in his house.

There is a major confrontation between Karan and Gautam while Damini is a dumb audience. Gautam leaves. Damini comes home and warns Gautam to stay away from her or else she will force him also to leave the house. Ganga now sees Damini and clarifies whether she had gone to meet Karan to which Damini denies. Shobha and Vishal now take everybody's leave and head towards Haridwar in search of Tulsi.

The inspector calls Mihir to identify Tulsi's mobile. Mihir is in search of Tulsi. He tries hard to find Tulsi. He stands at the highway and sees a board, which says Vijaywada 496km, and then looks at Tulsi's photograph and weeps. Mihir goes to Hemant's room and talks to him about Tulsi and Hemant says that it could just be Payal or Karan for that matter who had vowed to destroy the Virani family. Mihir goes to meet Karan and blames him for Tulsi's kidnap. Here, Karan is surprised to hear that Tulsi is kidnapped.

Karan meets Damini in the restaurant and discusses about Tulsi being kidnapped. Damini is not affected. She goes home and looks at Teesha's photograph and gives a very sarcastic smile. She takes out Teesha's photograph and hangs her photograph instead. Gautam is angry when he sees Damini's photograph.

Ganga looks at her and warns her. Mihir is seated in front of Tulsi's cupboard and is in deep distress. Ba comes in there and pacifies him and consoles him. Priyanka comes to Shantiniketan and enquires about Tulsi being back, and is very happy to see everybody sad. Priyanka walks into Mihir's room and overhears him talking to the inspector that Tulsi is kidnapped.

Priyanka is tensed. Mihir requests Priyanka not to open her mouth as nobody in the family knows about this. Savita feels that there is something drastically wrong between Damini and Ganga because of Tulsi leaving the house. She also sees that there is also something wrong between Damini and Gautam's relation. Savita speaks to Gautam about Damini and warns her to please give her the right she deserves in the family. Damini smiles as if she has won the battle.

Gautam is upset about what Savita uttered. He decides to teach Damini a lesson. All the women in the Virani family are in the kitchen and they discuss about the Navratri preparations and Savita decides that this year the pooja will be done by Damini and not Ganga as this is Damini's first year of marriage. Everybody is shocked. Karan calls up Damini and asks her to get some important papers signed by Gautam, which would mean winning half of the property of the Viranis.

Ganga overhears this and is angry. She enters Damini's room and there is a major confrontation between the two regarding Tulsi's missing and also meeting Karan. Damini informs Savita about Ganga's behaviour. She calls everybody in the hall and questions Ganga, to which Ganga replies that Damini plays the dirty game with the family, to which Savita shouts. Ba who is watching the whole drama all this while asks everybody to keep quite.

There is tension on everybody's face. Ganga leaves. Ba enters Ganga's room and tells her about how Tulsi had faced all this with patience and finally won everybody's heart, and now it's her turn to behave in the same manner and that's how a bahu should bahave. Both Ba and Ganga go near the temple and sing songs.

Mihir prays to god while Priyanka enters. She asks Mihir's help for her business and he explains his status as a helpless husband who is depressed by his wife's kidnapping. He suggests her to take the help of Kiran who is quite capable of handling it. Meanwhile, Priyanka overhears Mihir talking to the inspector about some news from Vijaywada.

Priyanka is tensed. She now comes to Kiran and asks his help to which he is ready. Here Karan gives the papers to Damini to get them signed from Gautam. Damini sees Gautam in the dining hall and sits besides him. The manager comes home and hands over some papers to Gautam to be signed. Damini takes advantage of this and keeps the paper given to her by Karan.

Gautam signs all the papers including the one Damini has also kept. Damini now takes all the papers and keeps them in the cupboard. Ganga observes all this. Ganga follows Damini to her room and sees where Damini has hidden the keys. Here Priyanka comes to the Virani office and meets Kiran Virani and offers him to be the member of the board of Directors to which Kiran thanks Priyanka.

Savita comes to the kitchen and sees Damini cooking and asks her to leave and wear some good clothes. Damini looks at Ganga and smiles, and leaves. Ganga now goes to Damini's room and opens the cupboard where she has kept the papers, removes them and reads and is shocked. Priyanks comes to meet Mihir and thanks him for the advice of meeting Kiran. She also asks him about Tulsi where Mihir tells her that the inspector has found some thing which relates to Tulsi.

Priyanka is shocked to hear this. Ravi tells Jhanvi about Amrita. Damini comes home and opens the cupboard and sees that all her papers are intact and leaves.

Damini enters Ganga's room and tells her about those papers, which she got them signed from Gautam. Ganga smiles and tells her that those papers are with her and then slowly one by one burns all of them. Ganga stamps all the papers and leaves.

[amol]

Damini informs Karan that Ganga failed their plans. Karan warns Damini to be careful in whatever she does and be quick so that they can once again be united. Damini thinks. Savita is happy to see the new dress worn by Damini and tells her about the fight they had. Damini tells Savita that she will go to Gayatri and apologise on her behalf.

Here, Gayatri has a talk with Pooja blaming Savita who wants Damini to perform navratri pooja knowing that she is the cause of Tulsi's leaving the house. Damini overhears this and tells Gayatri that Savita has apologised for whatever has happened and that Ganga will only do the pooja.

Here Priyanka enters with sweets in her hand and meets Karishma saying that the good news is that Kiran has agreed to join her firm as the Director of the advisory committee. Here ba is seated in her room and Mihir enters. Ba tells Mihir that the navratri preparations are on without Tulsi.

Ganga informs pooja about Damini who still meets Karan and her plans to ruin the Virani family. Pooja is shocked. Payal is furious about the fact that her son Vishal has joined Priyanka in her business and is curious to know who this lady is and from where has she come from. She talks to Aarti about all this and also warns her about Kiran and Priyanka's relation.

Payal now feels that Priyanka is using Kiran Virani as her weapon against the Virani family. Aarti is shocked. Gayatri apologises to Savita and they hug each other. Damini smiles. Damini comes to meet Ganga and declares a verbal fight!

Sahil sees Ganga asleep and slowly gets up from bed and wishes Ganga on her birthday and gifts her. But Ganga wishes Sahil to promise her that nobody should know about this in the family as she would not want to celebrate her birthday in Tulsi's absence. Sahil promises. Sawri and Bawri think about how to celebrate their teacher's birthday. Damini overhears their conversation and smiles. She orders a cake and a bouquet.

Damini enters Ganga's room and wishes her. Ganga is surprised. Savita sees the flower decorations all over the place and is not happy. She asks Ganga the reason for doing this inspite of knowing that Tulsi is not with them. Ganga replies that she is not even aware of all this. Mihir enters and tells her that he had ordered for all this to which Savita leaves. Damini is shocked.

Gautam enters and also wishes her. Mihir takes a piece of cake and enters Savita's room and asks her to stop behaving so childish. Damini watches all this. Savita disagrees to what Mihir says and asks him to leave the room. Mihir walks out in anger. Savita is tensed.

Biji shouts at Satnam, and Jhanvi watches all this. Jhanvi suddenly goes into a trans and asks Ravi as to who she is, what is her identity, where has she come from, who is her family to which Ravi replies that he is trying hard to find out about her relatives and till then she is also a member of the family and gives each one's introduction about Biji, Tayaji, Amruta.

Tarun waits for the principle's decision and is shocked to hear that he has rusticated him from the college. Ravi is tense about Janvi because he has not received any intimation of the ad, which he had given in the newspaper about Janvi missing. Mansukh informs Mihir that there has been total carelessness in the office after Tulsi has been kidnapped and asks Mihir if he could resume office. Mihir agrees. Priyanka, who is present there, hears the entire conversation and is tensed. Priyanka immediately calls her men and asks them to reach Vijaywada and keep an eye on Mihir. Priyanka also follows.

She is shocked to see Ravi at the police station. Ravi asks the inspector to publish Janvi's photograph saying that she has lost her memory and also to investigate the whole matter. After some days, Ravi reads the newspaper and something is written down in Kannada. He goes to a house where he meets up with a lady who tells him that she knows Janvi who was staying here, but no longer stays here since she has lost her husband. Ravi is shocked to hear this and feels the reason for Janvi's committing suicide. He leaves.

Priyanka now tells her men about Tulsi who is still alive. She begins to tell them the whole story about what happened after the accident, and how Tulsi reached the hospital with the help of the man who took her with him, where she had tried various ways of killing Tulsi and she was unsuccessful. She asks her men to keep an eye on the man who has taken away Tulsi with him, either in his house or wherever. Raj and Manoj ask Priyanka is there is any old enmity which has forced her to take these kind of steps, to which Priyanka shuts them up by saying that it is none of there business to know all this, and when the time comes everybody would know.

Janvi is seated in front of the mirror. She tries to find out her identity. Ravi watches her and wonders if he could tell her that she is a widow. Ravi goes and sits with his family. Biji and Tayaji feel very sad to hear about Janvi and feel that the only best way to keep her happy is to be with her and make her feel at home. Tarun is scared of the whole fact that he has been rusticated from the college and now feels that how would everybody react.

Ganga comes and meets with Tarun and tells him that he is one hope in the family and that he should not let anyone down. Tarun is now more scared after hearing all this and leaves. Damini overhears the entire conversation. Here Savita feels that Pooja should do the garba immersions rather than Ganga or Damini doing it. Damini receives letters from the courier and starts reading the cover. She reads one letter in name of Tarun and opens the letter.

She is shocked to read that Tarun has been rusticated from college. She quietly goes to Ganga's room and puts the letter in the drawer and smiles.

Everybody is busy preparing for the garba immersion when the kids come and ask Ba about the functioning of the whole tradition.

Shivangi tells her she doesn't believe in in family bond, and in any case Ansh gave her money when she needed it and that's all is important because in any case she believes that Nandini is a fool for having sacrificed herself to such an extent and nobody else is responsible for her misery but she herself.

Karan who is desperate to mend bridges asks Tulsi to allow him to explain himself but instead she asks him to shut up. Tulsi is accusing Karan, he is in complete pain.

Mihir overhears all this and takes off on Tulsi. He tells her that Karan is not wrong but she is and that he has made the biggest mistake by marrying her.
