Arya holds a massive search operation for Anu with the help of high technology namely 'biometric scan'. His plan turns out to be successful and he rushes to meet Anu. However, Mansi foils his plan by setting Anu's house in fire while being safe.

Arya decides to celebrate Anu's birthday and appoints Shaila Bhanu as the event manager. Mansi poisons the cake. However, Anu foils her plan by sensing that the cake is poisoned and informs the Vardhans. During the final court hearing of Neeraj and Mansi's divorce case, Arya with the help of Shaila Bhanu exposes Mansi infront of the court with relevant proofs. Bhanu also reveals that Mansi had poisoned the cake and tried to kill Arya.

When Bhanu's child is kidnapped, Arya saves him and it was later revealed that the kidnapper is Chhaya Devi, the anonymous person who frequently blackmails Arya over phone. Madan and Mansi also join hands with her.

A series of events led Anu to realise that Arya would fall into the jaws of death if she and her kids are close to him. Anu along with her kids move further away from Arya.

5 Years Later:

The show had taken a leap of 5 years in August 2023. Anu changes her name to Radha and lives alone with the her kids, Abhay and Aakanksha "Akki". Abhay and Akki are unknown about the fact that Arya is their father and they constantly pester Anu about their father. During their school event, Abhay and Akki meet Arya. While Akki gets closed to Arya and addresses him as "Friend", Abhay remains conserved. Chhaya Devi and Arya comes face to face in the matter of the school land. Chhaya then puts forth an unexpected condition infront of Arya that he has to marry him. Arya agrees for the marriage and Anu gets heartbroken after knowing this. It is revealed that Chhaya is Jalandhar's sister. During the marriage, Arya stops his wedding with Chhaya by fooling her and gets Chhaya married to his boyfriend, Rohit. During Anu's visit to a temple, she saves a woman named 'Suguna' who later tells Anu that she is excited to meet her after decades who was accused for no reason and got arrested for years in Saudi.
