While trying to save the Oberois, Shivaay learns about Annika’s parents; her father, Harsh Vardhan Trivedi also died in the fire. Shivaay tells Annika of her identity and reunites her with her long-lost sister who turns out to be Gauri.

Different leap occurs

The story takes a different leap, where an author and public speaker, takes them back to where the story started; Annika and Shivaay’s first meeting and changes their life, by changing the circumstances.

In this story, Shivaay is a stoic, no-nonsense businessman who is still hurting after his parents’ death. It is revealed that the incident that constantly haunts Shivaay is that Pinky killed Shakti after learning about his affair and then killed herself. Omkara is also a businessman, rather than an artist, who help Shivaay due to the lack of family members. Rudra is a supermodel who uses his fame and money as an excuse for everything he does. Priyanka is shown as Shivaay’s own younger sister this time.

Annika and Gauri live with their aunt who hates them because their mother left their father for another man. Gauri knows nothing of the incident and Annika struggles to make ends meet. She is constantly stressed about paying for Gauri’s college tuition, Sahil’s medications, and house rent, with no help from her aunt.

Although Shivaay and Anika meet, they are shown to have a rocky relationship due to Shivaay’s lack of trust in women. Gauri and Omkara meet and instantly hit it off. Bhavya and Rudra also meet, but his misuse of money and fame irks Bhavya. Shivaay and Annika get close when the latter is hired by Shivaay’s sister Priyanka as a wedding planner. Shivaay is engaged to Tia on the insistence of his grandmother and Priyanka is engaged to Tia’s brother Daksh. Both Tia and Daksh are bankrupt and are marrying the Oberoi siblings only for money. Daksh misbehaves with Annika who tries to expose his true nature but fails as Shivaay refuses to believe her.

On Daksh and Priyanka’s wedding day, Daksh runs away after being blackmailed by Annika. Priyanka goes to look for him and meets with an accident and goes into coma. Shivaay holds Annika responsible and marries her forcibly. Eventually, Shivaay realizes Daksh’s truth and Priyanka recovers. Shivaay publicly exposes Daksh and asks forgiveness from Annika. Shivaay restores Anika’s reputation in society and decides to divorce her. After a long struggle Annika makes Shivaay realise that they are made for each other.

Tej returns to India to take over the Oberoi empire. He is jealous of Shivaay’s fame. He hires Shivaay’s friend Mohit to destroy his fame. Mohit comes to Oberoi Mansion along with Nancy. Nancy is attracted to Shivaay and forces him to have a relationship with her, but he denies. One day Nancy is found murdered in Shivaay’s room and he is blamed for it. Later, Shivaay discovers that Nancy was alive and she wasn’t the real Nancy, but she was Mohit’s assistant. The dead woman was the real Nancy. Mohit killed his own wife for the sake of her property. Mohit is arrested by Bhavya. Shivaay comes to know that Tej was the mastermind behind the incident and thus warns him to leave the country within 24 hours. He tries to kill his own children forcing Shivaay to intervene. Shivaay kills Tej and is sent to prison for seven years.

 

Five years later
In his absence, Om and Rudra take over Shivaay’s business and have grown to hate him for killing Tej, their father. The brothers’ evil aunt, Roop, reappears to kill Shivaay. Rudra discovers the real reason behind why Shivaay had to kill Tej. The brothers are reunited. Shivaay’s grandmother, Aruna Sehgal, arrives at the Oberoi Mansion. Priyanka is married to Shivaay’s business rival Jai Kothari.

It is revealed that a now grown-up Sahil has become spoilt by riches. Shivaay unsuccessfully tries to get him to mend his ways. When Sahil gets arrested for drunk driving, Shivaay refuses to bail him out before letting him spend a night in jail. As a result, Sahil vows to take revenge on Shivaay. Jai Kothari tries to kill Annika, but she is rescued.

The show then goes on to take a huge years leap and we are introduced to the life of Shivaay and Anika son Shivaay.

Shivaansh is a superstar and lives with his great grandmothers. He has a sister, Shivaani. Rudra and Bhavya have a son, Dhruv, and Om and Gauri have a daughter, Radhika. She is married to Varun who is revealed to be harbouring a secret enmity against the Oberoi family. Shivaansh, Dhruv, and Radhika share a close bond like Shiv, Om, Ru. Shivaani stays with Om and Rudra’s family in London. Shivaansh has only one dream – to build a hospital in his parents’ memory to provide free treatment for poor children.
