Plot
After their separation, Pallavi and Nikhil raised their children alone. Nikhil raises Harsh and Manna, while Pallavi raises Barkha, Gagan, and Badal. However, despite their best efforts, they have not been able to overcome the absence of the other parent in their children's lives.
Fifteen years later, the two families meet when Nikhil returns to India, knowing that Barkha's marriage is arranged with Ishaan Agarwal. Understanding that Pallavi will not appreciate Nikhil's presence at the wedding, he returns to New York but sends money to Barkha as he is aware of Pallavi's financial situation. Barkha returns the money through Gagan, whom Harsh later accuses of stealing the money with the intention of troubling Pallavi for leaving him as a child.
Initially, the children are at odds with each other and their parents, but they resolve their misunderstandings and reunite. Persuaded by Nikhil's mother and the children, Pallavi and Nikhil decide to remarry. However, their happiness is short-lived due to the arrival of Pallavi's cousin Sonali, who was the cause of Nikhil and Pallavi's separation. Sonali manipulates Pallavi and marries Nikhil.
