They are killed by a mysterious person after which Chandni's father Yash Narayana Vashisht becomes the Mahant. Dev escapes with his younger brother Meeku, but Chandni, unaware of her mother Indrani's (Ritu Shivpuri) plans to kill him, reveals their secret playing place where Dev is hiding. They find him there but he manages to escape with Meeku. While travelling by train, he is forced to throw his brother out to save him from a mob.

16 years later

Dev has returned to Allahabad disguised as Advay Singh Raizada (Barun Sobti). Holding Chandni (Shivani Tomar) and her family responsible for what his family had to go through and his separation from his brother, he plans to take revenge. He charms the Vashishts, emerging as a saviour through various of his own set-ups, with the help of Murli (Sanjay Choudhary), his assistant, and Shilpa (Juhi Aslam), the Vashishts' servant who secretly works for Advay, and starts living with them. He buys the house the Vashishts are living in and lets them stay there.

Meanwhile, Chandni's wedding is fixed to Pratham ( Rupesh Kataria) a.k.a "PP", a sleazy man whom Indrani sets up Chandni with because his family is going to pay off Indrani's debt. Advay rescues Chandni from her fiance's problematic behaviour on several occasions but not without insulting her each time. Chandni and Advay engage in banter, trying to one up the other, but Chandni remains confused about why he hates her so much. He further disrupts her wedding and forcibly marries her by blackmailing her that he will reveal the truth of her illegitimate child who currently stays in an orphanage. Chandni agrees to save the respect of her family but doesn't tell Advay that the child is actually her sister Megha's ( Shagun Sharma).

Advay exposes this anyway at their reception party in order to spoil the Vashisht family's reputation. He throws them out of the house but his nani (Charu Rohatgi) sides with Chandni and shelters her. She believes in Chandni's innocence and asks her never to leave Advay no matter what happens. Advay and Chandni shift to Mumbai where his maasi, Leela ( Ritu Chaudhary), his cousin sister Pooja (Rishika Mihani) and his nephew Adi reside. Advay loves Adi dearly. Chandni sees Advay's softer side emerge when he is with Adi. One day, during a fight with Chandni, Advay faints. Chandni takes him to the hospital and finds out that Advay donated his kidney to Adi in the past. She wonders about how different he is towards her compared to Adi. Eventually, the truth finally comes before Chandni who finds out Advay is her long lost childhood friend Dev whom she realizes she is now in love with. She attempts to reconciliate with him but he pushes her away, still misunderstanding her and refusing to believe her side of the story. Advay's girlfriend Sasha (Smriti Khanna) comes to visit and hatches plans to ruin Chandni's attempts to be with Dev. In a turn of events, Dev discovers that Chandni has been innocent all along. Chandni finds out that Indrani is the real culprit and has her arrested. She seeks out Meeku (Randeep Malik), reuniting him with Dev, and decides to leave Dev's life forever, but he stops her. They embrace and reunite. Meeku falls in love with Chandni's sister Shikha ( Ketki Kadam) and the family plans to get them married.
