While searching for her brother-in-law, Khushi accidentally reaches the stage and falls into Arnav's arms, spoiling the show and angering Arnav.

She and her entire family leave Lucknow and travel to Delhi. She applies for a secretarial job in a fashion house only to realise that Arnav will be her new boss, however, she takes the job where her life is made horrible. She is made to work in the rain and is locked in a collapsing building. These circumstances lead to Arnav falling in love with Khushi, but having too much, Khushi decides to resign only to be employed by Arnav again as a governess in his house.
