Meanwhile, Khushi gets harassed by eve-teasers and is saved by Shyam Manohar Jha, a married man, who instantly gets attracted to her.
She goes on to sell Lucknow's Indigenous Chikankaari sarees to pay for Arnav's broken car, and she ends up at his house, Shantivan, by mistake.
Tired of these antics, Payal convinces Khushi to quit the job, and the two sisters decide to go back to Lucknow.
At Shantivan, one thing leads to another, and Anjali hires Khushi to groom Arnav's girlfriend, Lavanya, to make her the perfect daughter-in-law of the Raizadas.
Khushi's constant presence at his house initially irritates Arnav, but her funny antics and lively nature wins him over slowly.
As the wedding preparations begin, Khushi's adoptive father, Shashi, discovers Shyam's secret - that he is married to Anjali.
To save his now pregnant sister's marital life, Arnav blackmails Khushi into marrying him for six months, by keeping Payal's wedding at stake.
Subhadra Devi, however, is still displeased and tries to call off the wedding, suspecting a connection between Khushi's mother and Arnav's parents' death.
It is revealed that Khushi's adoptive mother Garima had an extra-marital affair with Arnav's father, unaware of the fact that he was a married man.
As the wedding preparations begin, unaware of Shyam's duplicity, Subhadra Devi encourages Anjali to meet and repair her relationship with him.
Shyam, on the other hand, hatches a plan for Anjali's miscarriage, which he brings to fruition on her baby shower day.
