One day, Karan sees a love letter by Saahil to Bindiya and tears it up. His friend Rony (
One month later, Saahil starts working in a cafe. Bindiya tries to meet Saahil every day, but he escapes every time, but soon, Bindiya and Saahil fall in love again. Sanju also approves of her. Meanwhile, Karan returns from the hospital and decides to meet Arjun and tell him about his love. Arjun is happy to know that Karan is in love with Bindiya. That night, Rony challenges Saahil for a fight. Saahil beats up Rony brutally.
Meanwhile, Karan proposes to Bindiya at a derelict church where she believes that a party for his recovery is held. But this is just a ruse as he only arranged it for him and Bindiya only along with a bunch of presents and cards inside. She tells him that she considers Karan as a best friend but loves Saahil. Karan becomes furious. After beating Rony, Saahil takes his gun to kill Karan. Sanju enters Arjun's bungalow to tell Arjun about Karan's reality. He beats up all his goons. Arjun cannot control his anger and starts beating up Sanju. Rony then comes to Sanju's aid and confirms the truth about Karan to Arjun. Karan's love turns into a deadly obsession, and he forces Bindiya to marry him on the spot. Saahil then reaches there, and eventually, a dangerous fight ensues between Saahil and Karan. Karan hits Saahil repeatedly with an iron rod in the face and knocks him unconscious. Arjun comes there to rescue Bindiya and talk to Karan. Karan shoots Sanju's arm, while Saahil regains consciousness. Karan is just about to shoot Bindiya and Saahil, but Bindiya tells Karan that she hates him because of his actions. Arjun shoots Karan with tears in his eyes, while the latter dies on the spot. Arjun takes Karan's body to the church and is heartbroken and guilt-ridden that he did not want to kill his brother, despite being wrong.
