Kavita later finds out that it was not Arun’s fault, but Arun has already left town. Arun’s marriage is arranged with Saroj Chowdhary, who also happens to be a distant relative of Kavita’s. When Arun loses his vision in an accident, Saroj is unable to take care of him, and Kavita takes her place. Unwilling to reveal her identity, Kavita lets him think it is Saroj, not her.
