Rajesh also acquires a job at Gopal Das’s office with the help of Rani. As an anecdote, Shivram falls for Shobha and they get married.

Hence, he threatens Gopal Das to knot with Rani by holding a letter that he wrote long ago regarding the evil plan to slay Roopa. So, he pleads with Rajesh to break up with Rani and he does so by creating himself as an imposter. Later, Gopal Das realizes Rajesh’s honesty, divulges the actuality to Rani, unites them, and surrenders to Police. Here, fortunately, Roopa is alive. Being aware of it, Man Mohan schemes to eliminate her when Shyama dies while guarding Roopa. At last, Rajesh rescues Roopa and acquits Gopal Das.
