The Garodias and Maheshwaris gather in a room where they delegate Raj's sudden appearance.

"I'll send him out of here now aunt." Shekhar tells Tanya.

"Let the police get him." Surjeet grunts

Everyone continues voicing out their thoughts when Tanya bursts out "Stop it all of you." and the room goes quiet.

"No one will touch Raj. Let him stay and he will go when his ready. We must notraise any unnecessary alarm and cause a scene." she continues

"That he is here means something is certainly wrong." Asha unhappily chips in and Ria agrees as she fiddles with her bracelet "Yes, he must have some tricks up his sleeve. I don't trust that guy, you know how he is."

"Let it be, we have hidden the truth for so long from the Rajputs and it cannot afford to go in the wind. I'm doing all this for Shalini." She halts and goes on "Let's return to the party, our guests are waiting outside."

"Are you sure about this?" Aniket sighs

"I'm very sure Aniket, let's go now.

Tanya stands by and watches them leave the room, she knows she's as scared as they are but she can't forget what's at stake.





3 years ago

The Harishs were just a typical rich Indian family living in London; the patriarch was a successful movie producer with multiple investments and his wife, a talented writer that is until they returned to India for unknown reasons.

Mr Harish becomes friends with Aniket and thus a match is made between their children Rajkumar and Shalini.

Rajkumar immediately wins Shalini and everyone's heart too. Raj as he was fondly called was loved by everyone, he told tales of London to Asha, played games with Shekhar, Surjeet and Aniket; helped Ria and Tanya in the kitchen whenever he could and took Hema especially to the temple where she loved to visit.

Hema didn't really like Raj and was surprised to notice that Shalini placed all her trust in him after a short period of time.

Raj's parents Harsh and Khushi made plans for their wedding to take place. The Tilak and engagement ceremonies were done at once. The priest announced the date of their wedding to be in a month's time which further raised Hema's suspicions.

Their haste was much to suspicious for her.

The Sangeet, Mehindi, Vidai and prayer ceremony were held as well. Shalini was eager to get married and was in high spirits, she started ticking out the days left while awaiting the wedding. She was in love with Raj and couldn't hide it no matter how hard she tried.

Shalini's world starts crumbling soon after Hema dies. Khushi then tries to prepone the wedding after Hema's death and on the day of the wedding Raj leaves her on the wedding altar.

A big disgrace in town.

Shalini became determined to forget Raj and burnt her wedding bangles in rage.

Every prospective groom who came after Raj rejected her after hearing how Raj deserted her on the wedding altar.


They felt that for her to abandon on the wedding altar by a prestigious man, there had to be something wrong with her.
