Eventually, the Bhardwaj family finally accepts Simar and Roli as their daughters-in-law. Mata ji then worries that Simar and Roli will rule the house instead of her, so Mata ji decides that she will do something to stop them from doing the housework. Mata ji puts napthalene balls in Sujata's drink so she can accuse Simar and Roli of being so careless and stop them doing the housework. She then tries to take help from her sister Manoranjan to create differences between Simar and Roli. Uma and Pari is also attempting to Sabotage the sisters by replacing Rasgullas with Eggs, putting Chilli Powder in Roli's juice, and trying to ruin Simar's dance by placing glass shards on the floor.
Eventually Manoranjan is video recorded while she was adding ajjwain to Mataji's drink, who was allergic to ajjwain. Mataji then announces a contest between the daughters-in-law, and Simar and Roli emerge victorious. Simar then suspects Prem of cheating on her, but it turns out he was trapping the girl, Amisha to give up the photos she had with his elder brother Shailendra, which she was using to blackmail him to show his wife Pari. However, she gets run over by a car while escaping from the police.

Khushi, who wants revenge for her sister's death,Amisha, marries Siddhant and Prem's cousin, Sankalp. Roli tries to expose the truth about Khushi but fails every time. Only Manoranjan believes Khushi is lying. Simar tells Roli to leave the house because everyone in the family believes that Roli is lying. Simar finds out that Khushi sold all her jewellery and replaced them with fake gold jewellery. Khushi tells her boyfriend Veeru to unlock the lock and steal the fake gold jewellery. Simar sees this and tries to snatch the bag from Veeru but falls down the stairs. As a result of this, Simar has a miscarriage. Khushi becomes the surrogate mother of Prem and Simar's child and blackmails Simar to sign the property papers. At Khushi's birthday party, Khushi is exposed about her reality to the whole family and was arrested by the police but Mata Ji took back the case and is spared by the police. Khushi gives birth to their daughter, Anjali, and grabs Bharadwajs' property with her lover, Veeru. Roli seduces Veeru and manages to retrieve the property papers. Enraged, Veeru shoots Simar, but she survives from coma and later Veeru kidnaps Roli and drives her off the cliff along with himself. Meanwhile, Naina has a crush on Siddhant and she pretends to be pregnant with his child after drugging him at a party. Simar, Sujata, Rajendra, Mausiji, Mataji and other family members reprimand Siddhant for having cheated on Roli. However, Prem proves his brother's innocence. Roli has lost all her memory and eventually Veeru makes her believe her name is Vidya and Veeru, as Vikram, is her husband. However, Simar finds out Roli and makes her regain her memories. Then Veeru shoots Roli and she is presumed dead. A doppelganger of Roli, Jhumki, is hired to return the property to the Bharadwaj family's name. They manage to expel Khushi and Veeru from the house. Veeru blackmails Jhumki by kidnapping her brother to kill Simar, but Jhumki tries to save her secretly every time. Finally, Jhumki is able to get back her brother with the help of police in a mysterious palace in the Bharadwaj name. Simar also discovers Roli alive, who was tortured and imprisoned in the palace.

Jhanvi is shown to be the kidnapper of Roli. It gets revealed that Jhanvi's father, Shakti, and Rajendra were business partners. But, Shakti attempted to rape Sujata but was killed by Mataji in the process, after which, Jhanvi's grandmother and Jhanvi has ran away, and Shakti's wife committed suicide. Prem turns out to be Shakti's son later adopted by Rajendra and Sujata. He is now angered by the truth being hidden from him for 20 years, and initially sides with Jahnvi and her grandmother, Shobha. However, Shobha is arrested and she confesses that she had replaced her own born-dead grandchild with Jhanvi, and she is actually Sujata's daughter. Hearing this, Jhanvi drops her gun she was pointing to Sujata, and is shocked. Then Shakti is discovered to be alive and deceiving the family along with Shobha to achieve the property. Both are arrested and Jhanvi and Prem are welcomed back into the family. Jhnavi then has to face a rich brat, Shaurya Singhania, who is injured and treat him in the hospital as she worked as a nurse there. Pari gives birth to a son called Aarav, and Pari's mother Aachla advises Pari to control the house as she is the mother of a boy now. She also shames Simar to be intent on taking away Pari's son from her as she is jealous with having just a daughter. Jhanvi shoots her husband, Shaurya, with a gun as he is about to shoot Roli. Megna vows to revenge her brother, Shaurya. She made a special room in the Bharadwaj house and kidnapped the Bharadwaj family when they were coming from Kul Devi temple. Simar and Roli were in Vrindavan when this happened because Meghna prank call Simar saying that her mother is unwell and is admitted in hospital so Simar and Roli went to Vrindavan When Simar and Roli arrived in Bharadwaj house they found that the house is empty. They begin to worry. The next morning, Simar and Roli found that Meghna kidnapped the whole Bharadwaj family, and Meghna said if they want the whole family safe, they have to listen to Meghna orders. Simar and Roli begin to realise where Meghna hid the Bharadwaj family so both sisters broke the 2-way mirror that Meghna put on so the Bharadwaj family can see how SimarRoli are suffering.

Mahamaya and Kamya (who resides inside the Bharadwaj house as Prem's childhood mate to assist her mother) casts a spell on Simar that impregnates her with a child possessing evil powers. Simar becomes aware of this mysterious plan and soon witnesses Kamya's real vintage. The family learns of this, too. Simar and Prem have a son, Piyush. Being in doubt of the baby's spookiness, the family asks Simar to donate the child. Simar refuses and leaves Piyush with her in-laws..
