Junoon – Aisi Nafrat Toh Kaisa Ishq is a soap opera that was first shown between 5 November 2012 and 6 September 2013 on Life OK on Monday to Friday evenings.
And to hide the secret Data tells all his villagers of Hardoi that his wife and daughter died in front of his very eyes in a river.
Meera and Akash don't know about what happened 20 years ago and they want to fulfill every last wish of their mother.
On the day of Karva Chauth, Sudha secretly does the ritual by giving a call to her husband.
She goes through many problems as Ramdhari's lie had put a blindfold on all the people of Hardoi - even Prithvi.
She brings her license to prove it, but Lakhan says that it is fake and that he can make a billion copies like that, hence burns it to ashes.
Though Ramdhari knows Meera is his daughter, he lies to her to save his self-respect and appoints Prithvi to take care of her and keep her safe.
They keep having small petty fights and Meera begins to call Prithvi Rambo Singh - Because of his extraordinary shape, height and attitude.
Prithvi has to go for some other work and so leaves Jeevanlal to make sure the cows remain in his house.
While then Jeevanlal gives some information to Meera that Prithvi is an orphan and all answers to all questions come from the panchayat.
With the help of another maid she enters Ramdhari's house and is shocked to see a picture of her mother mounted on the wall with a garland hung on it.
Meera later realizes what she said was very wrong and did not know that such a strong man would have such a fragile heart.
From the terrace a rat fell straight into the bowl of milk kept in front of the priest performing the pooja.
As soon as Meera goes from there, Kalki jots down the number and address of City Hospital and sends Lakhan there.
She tells Meera that a few days later a ceremony will be held for Data by the people of Hardoi to show their respect for him.
He agreed and was about to leave with Meera to Delhi but was stopped by the members of the Panchayati Raj System.
When Data came home the next day, he was shocked to see a group of men with sticks all ready to beat up Ramdhari.
Data was about to take the newly wed couple home but Lakhan stopped them and said it looks bad if the bride goes to her own house with her husband.
Prabha dresses Meera up like a pretty bride and she performs the ritual of throwing rice behind yourself and your husband while leaving your mother's house.
Sudha gets worked up and forces Meera to leave with her for Delhi when Prithvi and Data try to stop her.
One day, Prithvi notices Rahul and Sanjana, who were having an affair with each other, romancing around in a corner.
Sanjana warns Prithvi to never come into the personal matters of her life while Rahul escapes.
Meera tries a lot to make him reveal what his heart feels, but stubborn Prithvi - He'll never do such a thing.
Akash introduces Prithvi to his employees as his elder brother and appoints him as the head of his company.
Meera visits Akash's office and becomes embarrassed on seeing Prithvi being insulted by the employees.
Prithvi performs the rituals of Holika Dahan in front of Meera and Aakash's family.
Akash advises Meera to buy a similar mangalsutra and tell Prithvi that she has found it.
He is eager to kill Akash with an axe but is stopped as he sees a thread which was tied around his wrist by Meera, to calm him down when he is angry.
They make a plan during their SECOND Suhaagraat that they shall pretend to hate each other causing Akash to fall in their trap and possess Meera.
Akash then takes her to a deserted area and decides to marry her then and there as he had also forced her to sign divorce papers.
