Bepannah

Six months later

Zoya is a successful entrepreneur. Sakshi is being held hostage by Anjana. Zoya supports Noor and Arjun when she finds out about their feelings. When Aditya returns from Paris, he finds Zoya a more confident and assertive version of herself while he himself has grown quieter. Their friendship blooms as they begin spending time together. Aditya realizes that he has fallen in love with Zoya.

When Aditya decides to confess to Zoya, he gets to know about her suitor Arshad Habib. Aditya gets jealous on seeing Zoya spend time with him. Sakshi is aware about Anjana being Pooja and Yash's murderer. Afraid of getting exposed, Anjana pushes Sakshi off a cliff. Aditya confesses his love to Zoya, but she misunderstands him.

Amidst the confusion, Zoya agrees to marry Arshad. Aditya confronts her and asks her to listen to her heart. Zoya remains obstinate but realizes she is not happy. On her wedding day, she accepts her feelings for Aditya, and her father Waseem breaks ties with her. Aditya and Zoya get married.

Zoya starts getting threatening messages and calls from Kalpana Dadeech. She brings out the truth about Rajveer being Harshvardhan's son and reveals his past where her daughter Pallavi was pregnant with Rajveer but Harshvardhan, unaware of it, had married Anjana. Heartbroken, Pallavi had committed suicide. Rajveer and Kalpana kill Harshvardhan to avenge Pallavi's death and frame Aditya, who is found unconscious near Harshvardhan's body, holding the knife. Rajveer causes misunderstandings between Aditya and Zoya. The two, broken and helpless, go their separate ways.

One year later

Aditya has taken over Hooda and Associates. Anjana is mentally unstable and kept under supervision. Zoya having studied clinical psychology, gets an internship in the same hospital Anjana is admitted in. Aditya and Zoya miss each other. When they come face to face, they try to ignore their feelings but eventually reconcile.

Arjun confesses his love for Noor. Anjana owns up about killing Pooja, Yash and Sakshi. She asks Aditya and Zoya to forgive her and is arrested. Aditya breaks down in disbelief. Zoya comforts him and the two embrace. Arjun and Noor get married and Aditya, Zoya, Arjun, Noor, Roshnaq and Waseem pose for a photograph.
