Plot[edit]
8 years prior to the current timeline, Satya murders Damini’s father and is arrested by his brother, Ankush, who is a police officer. Damini, who is pregnant with Satya’s child, runs away to save herself and the child. Due to her absence as witness for the murder during the trial, Satya, who is a political leader now, is acquitted in the case 8 years later.
Arya, Damini and Satya's daughter, turns out to be a feisty girl who is willing to fight anyone who troubles her. She is under the false belief that her father is a police officer, thus she wants to grow up to be a righteous and strong police officer as well.
Satya murders Damini and Ankush, but fails to murder Arya. Kasturi shoots Arya instead, but Arya is saved by Jaanrao.
14 years later[edit]
Arya is living in hiding with Jaanrao. She has vowed to make Satya pay for all his wrongdoings.
Zai is to be wed with Yug Sisodiya, who is Satya’s right-hand man. However, Yug is not who he claims to be. He is Eklavya, who is working with Ankita to bring Satya down. Zai has turned into a spoilt and materialistic woman, who is nothing like her parents. Zai accepts Satya and Kasturi as her parents and holds a grudge against Ankush and Bela, believing they favored Arya over her. Maina is ill-treated by Kasturi, while Bela has lost her senses and doesn’t speak nor react.
Arya enters the house as a maid, Kamala, to search for evidence to bring down Satya. Arya manages to find evidence that jeopardizes Satya’s political career. Satya steps down from CM running, but he shrewdly puts Kasturi in the running instead.
