6 months later

The Gupta family is now a happy family with the three younger Gupta brothers looking upon Shiv and Ganga as their parents. During a festive moment, Shiv and Ganga notice Alok and Jaya closeness and doubt on their relation. Upon demand, Jaya reveals that she has been in love with Alok since childhood and also believes that Alok, a changed man now, is reciprocating her feelings. This leads to Shiv and Ganga, misunderstand that Alok and Jaya love each other. Though initially reluctant, Shiv decides to marry off Alok and Jaya for his brother's happiness, which is when, it is revealed that Alok loves another girl, Aditi, the daughter of one of their rich dealers Bansal. Upon learning more about Bansal, Alok broken-heartedly decides to marry Jaya. On the other hand, he breaks-up with Aditi, while lying to her that his love was fake. On the day of Alok and Jaya's marriage, Aditi learns the truth and also realizes that her father was the master-plan behind breaking hers and Alok's relationship. Aditi decides to win back Alok. She elopes from her house and emotionally blackmails Alok that she would give up her life if he wouldn't marry her. Helpless, Alok marries Aditi, shattering Jaya and her family. To secure Jaya's future, Ganga asks Veeru to marry Jaya, to which both oppose as both of them have always hated each other. However, in the end, for the sake of the happiness of their families, Veeru and Jaya agree to marry each other. Thus, Alok marries Aditi, while Veeru marries Jaya.

After Aditi–Alok and Veeru–Jaya's marriage, Ganga and Shiv struggle to keep their family united as constant issues crop in between Aditi and Jaya, because Aditi is always insecure about Jaya's presence. Aditi also has difficulty to adjust with the middle-class conditions of the family as she has always led a luxurious life till then. Veeru and Jaya always quarrel with each other due to their differences. Ganga and Shiv strive hard to keep the unity of the family together, however Amba strives to divide the Gupta family.

Thus, Amba instigates Bansal, who wants his daughter and son-in-law, to live with him, Aditi–Alok, against the Gupta family. Amba herself was using Bansal as she wants her daughter, Jaya, to live a queen's life in Gupta family. Provoked by Amba, Bansal stops all his supplies to Gupta & Sons grocery store. This causes a major loss for the Guptas and Shiv decides to get help from acquaintances of Mirzapur. In Shiv's Absence, when a man named Mishra, who is in fact of Amba, offers help to the Gupta family. Alok retracts from accepting the offer. However, Veeru, to help his family and to prove himself in front of his wife, Jaya, who always considers him to be good-for-nothing, accepts Mishra's offer going against Alok.

Amba's plan succeeds with the Health Inspectors inspecting the stale and expired products in Gupta & Sons grocery store and thus leading to seal the store. The Guptas are devastated and things go more downhill with the police arresting Alok for the Foodborne illness caused by the stale and expired products of Gupta & Sons. Shiv and Veeru try to save Alok, by getting arrested instead of him. Nevertheless, Alok stops his brothers and gets arrested taking the entire responsibility of Foodborne illness upon himself. While Shiv–Veeru tries to release Alok through law, Ganga reaches Bansal for help. Bansal puts forth a condition that he will help Ganga, in return of Aditi–Alok. Ganga is crossed to learn Bansal's perspectives of considering family–relations as business. Ganga denies to ever bid her family in return of anything in this world. As Ganga leaves, Bansal realizes that Aditi had overheard his and Ganga's entire conversation. Bansal tries to blackmail his daughter once again emotionally. But, this time Aditi confronts her father for all his evil acts against her (Gupta) family and vows that she will break all ties with her father if he ever tries to plot against her family.

Later, Ganga, Shiv and Veeru make-up with the

Ganga and Shiv send the newly-weds, Aditi–Alok and Veeru–Jaya for honeymoon. During their honeymoon, Veeru–Jaya had a huge brawl in the hotel, with Jaya leaving the room saddened and annoyed. She is about to meet with an accident, when Alok saves her and promises Jaya that he will be always at her side as a friend. Unfortunately, Aditi watches it and fumes with jealousy. She calls Veeru and questions his wife's character to which Veeru's stays dumb. In the room, Veeru assures, he trusts Jaya, having known of her friendship with Alok since childhood. This betters the matters between Veeru–Jaya a bit.
