Shyam says that Khushi tried to seduce him and Payal challenges his accusation. She says he pretended to be a bachelor to stay at Madhumati's house and get engaged to Khushi. Shyam asks for proof, but Khushi fails. Later, Arnav slaps Shyam and throws him out when he accuses Khushi of immorality.
Anjali faints after Arnav throws Shyam out of the house. Shyam's deceit devastates everyone. Payal pleads with Akash to trust Khushi and her, but he rebuffs her. Anjali does not believe Arnav and distances herself from him. Meanwhile, Arnav comforts Khushi.
Akash is upset as Payal hides Shyam's truth. He blames her for the tragedy in the family. Meanwhile, Naani worries about Anjali's pregnancy and asks Khushi to stay away from her. Anjali is upset, while Khushi looks after Arnav.
Arnav cheers up Khushi. She insists Anjali to eat for her baby's sake. However, Anjali runs away, making the Raizada family anxious. She tries to abort the baby in a hospital. Meanwhile, Nani and Manorama condemn Khushi for ignoring their advice. Later, Arnav reaches the nursing home. Will he find Anjali?
Anjali tries to abort the baby herself after the doctor's refusal. Arnav convinces her to change her mind and return home. Meanwhile, Manorama blames Khushi and Payal for the family's misfortunes.

Khushi complains when Arnav forgets her birthday. Later, she thanks Aman for a gift that Arnav had asked him to bring. While Payal cooks for Khushi, Manorama causes a fight between Akash and Payal. Meanwhile, Anjali receives the red roses ordered for Khushi, thinking they are for her.
Arnav lies to Anjali about the roses to keep her happy. Khushi, meanwhile, receives gifts from Payal and Nandkishore. To surpise Khushi, Arnav lights up the poolside and then forces her to cut the cake. Anjali sees Arnav feeding the cake to Khushi, realises her mistake and throws away the flowers.
Arnav places a red rose on Khushi's pillow and finally wishes her, thinking she is asleep. Later, Nandkishore tells Arnav to be unique. Nani cooks a special dish for Khushi on Arnav's request, but Khushi doesn’t eat. Meanwhile, Akash is still upset about Payal.
Khushi refuses to accept Arnav's gift, making him angry. Anjali's turmoil, Manorama's anger and Payal and Akash's misunderstandings upset Khushi. Her attempt to reconcile Payal and Akash's rift also backfires. Meanwhile, Anjali tells Nani that she wants a son like Shyam.
Manorama blames Khushi for Anjali's failed marriage. Arnav attempts to make Khushi smile and reignite her feelings, but to no avail. Khushi refuses to accept him as her husband. Anjali asks Arnav to attend to business in Agra and asks Khushi to accompany him, but Khushi refuses.
Arnav plans to scare and then surprise Khushi, hoping that she will appreciate his efforts. Instead, she gets angry at him for scaring her. Anjali thinks that Arnav lied to her about the meeting in Agra. Payal requests Akash to forgive her, but Manorama interferes in their matters.
Arnav tells Anjali that although he married Khushi to save her from Shyam, he has now truly fallen in love with her. He reassures Anjali that their brother-sister relationship will remain strong. While Akash forgives Payal, Khushi feels elated when Anjali talks to her.
Khushi lies to Arnav about going to the Guptas' house to tend to Madhumati. Naani calls Madhumati but Khushi intercepts the call. Akash asks Payal to accompany him to Mumbai, but she declines, fearing Manorama. Arnav visits the Guptas to enquire about Madhumati. How will Khushi handle this?
Arnav brings a doctor to treat Madhumati. Khushi fabricates a story to fool the doctor. Manorama spots Anjali meeting someone secretly. On learning that Madhumati hasn't paid her rent yet, Arnav pays for her. Khushi scolds him for doing so. He confronts her for lying about Madhumatis illness.
Manorama wonders who made blank calls to the house. She sees Anjali talking to herself and tells Naani. Arnav vows to cement his and Khushi's marriage. As part of a plan, Arnav cancels the cheque to pay Madhumati's rent. The landlord demands the rent in a day. How will Khushi arrange the money?
Khushi runs from pillar to post to arrange the money, but to no avail. So she reluctantly seeks Arnav's help. He asks her to work for him for a day in exchange for the money. Khushi hurts her foot while catering to Arnav. Arnav immediately tends to her injured foot. Will this draw them closer?
While tending to Khushi, Arnav falls and hurts his back. Khushi massages his back with oil. Later, Anjali shows him the sonogram of her baby. Arnav asks Khushi to stay up all night. She retaliates by calling him every few minutes and disturbing his sleep throughout the night.
The landlord informs Khushi that a new developer has bought the house. Khushi learns that Arnav is the new developer and also her new landlord. Arnav threatens to demolish the house when she refuses to return to Shantivan. He cuts the water and electricity supply to the Gupta house.
Anjali meets Madhumati and Garima when they take Shashi to the hospital. Anjali learns that Madhumati is not sick and that Khushi and Arnav lied to her. Arnav orders Khushi to return to Shantivan. When she refuses, Arnav threatens to tell her family about their contract marriage.
Arnav brings Khushi back home. Akash returns from Mumbai. On the days of Rakhi, Arnav wears a set of traditional clothes gifted to him by Anjali. Anjali ties rakhi to Arnav, Akash and Nandkishore. She receives a call from someone and hides it from the family. What is she hiding?
Khushi sees Anjali talking to someone outside the house. Arnav gifts Khushi a pearl necklace and some of her favourite things. Naani tells Arnav that his grandmother, Subhadra Devi is missing from the ashram. While they go looking of her, Manorama tells Akash that Subhadra suffered from a mental ailment.
Khushi accidentally pours dirty water on Subhadra Devi when she comes to Shantivan. Thinking that Khushi is a servant, Subhadra Devi insults her. She also forbids her from entering her room and scolds Manorama for letting Khushi decorate the puja room. How will Khushi clear the misunderstanding?
Naani introduces Khushi to Subhadra Devi (Daadi), who rebuffs her. Daadi questions Naani for not informing her about several matters. Naani reminds Daadi that she had deserted the family in the past. Arnav defends Khushi when Daadi forbids her from entering her room.
Daadi’s sudden arrival reminds Arnav of the past and he has a restless night. He tells Khushi that his mother committed suicide. Khushi comforts him. On Anjali's behest, Khushi goes to the storeroom and finds old photos. Daadi scolds her for going through the photos, but Arnav defends Khushi.
Daadi asks Manorama about Shyam, but Nandkishore intervenes. Khushi and Arnav share a number of endearing moments, including jumping and breaking the bed. Khushi tells Arnav that their wedding is incomplete without fulfilling the ceremonial customs. Will Arnav agree to do it?
Arnav tells Khushi to get ready for their wedding night. This flusters her and she wears her dress inside out and makes jalebis instead of kheer for Janmashtami. Anjali secretly goes out to meet someone. Daadi questions Arnav for throwing Shyam out. She also criticizes Arnav's mother, enraging him.
Manorama doubts Anjali's suspicious behaviour. Arnav gifts a dress to Khushi and decorates their bedroom with flowers and candle lights. Khushi refuses to consummate their marriage without a proper wedding. Arnav builds a fire on the terrace and carries her around it. Daadi sees them together.
Daadi reveals that Arnav and Khushi's wedding was a contractual engagement. Arnav decides to fulfil all the customs and rituals. Madhumati takes Khushi to the Gupta house. Shyam, who has been keeping an eye on Shantivan through discreetly placed cameras, vows to prevent the wedding.
Daadi visits the Guptas and insults Khushi for living with Arnav without a proper wedding. While Garima slaps Khushi, Madhumati defends Khushi and breaks the alliance. Arnav tells the two families that the wedding will take place at any cost. Later in the night, Shyam sneaks into Shantivan.
