Plot
editAmaya Mathur lives happily in Paris, while her parents and sisters live in Mumbai. As Rishi becomes bankrupt and commits suicide, the Mathurs lose their property in Mumbai and Paris and move back to their hometown Banaras. Hari is imprisoned due to Rishi's bankruptcy crisis. Rachita turns out to be Sneha and Dev Agnihotri's daughter, whom Rishi gave his name after marrying Sneha. She befriends Rama Gupta who falls for her; they later get engaged.
Amaya and Mantu Srivastava fall in love. Dev returns and tells Rachita's illegitimacy to Sumitra, who threatens the Mathurs that she will reveal the truth publicly. But Amaya instead weds Rama to protect her family. Heartbroken Mantu leaves Banaras. Amaya learns Kangana is traditional during the day but acts like modern at night, under the name "Kanika". Later it's revealed that Kanika is Kangana's long lost twin sister, but Amaya still thinks they're the same people.
Amaya realises, Kangana has split personality disorder, needing an operation. To collect money Amaya sells her jewellery and Rama takes up a competition fighting with the greedy and evil Tilak, and wins. She and Rama get closer and fall in love. Amaya's in-laws finally accept her after Kangana's successful treatment. Tilak kills Mantu. The show ends on a happy note as Amaya and Rama remarry and live happily ever after.
