On the other hand, Dhruv and Shlok's mother Rekha starts disliking the Pradhans and often locks horn with Urmila. Soon, Shraddha-Dhruv and Anjali-Shlok get married while Rekha plots against the Pradhans and sends some goons to just scare and threaten them. But, the goons brutally attacks Vikas, Shraddha, Urmila and Vijay while Vikas dies and others suffers injuries. On seeing this, Rekha feels guilty for her deeds while Shlok feels guilty for not being present in the situation to save them.
