Scene starts with Anubhav telling Haseena about Kaushalya.
Anubhav: Yeh sach hai priye, Kashi ki ek judwa behen hai. Uska naam Kaushalya hai aur sab usse Kashish bulate te. Woh Kashi se 3 minute choti thi aur uski laadli bhi. Dono behno ki jaan basti thi ek dusre mein. Kashish apni didi se sabse zyada pyaar karti thi.
Haseena: Thi matlab? Ab woh kaha hai? Karu ne kabhi uska zikr kyun nahi kiya aur na woh humare shaadi mein aayi thi, aisa kyun?
Anubhav: Kashish ab iss duniya mein nahi rahi Haseena ji, 10 saal pehle uski maut hogayi.
Haseena(shocked): KYA?
Anubhav starts narrating her the incident that happened 10 years ago.
Flashback
The twin sisters have gone on a school picnic. While playing the sisters sneak out from the teachers supervision and go towards the cliff as Kaushalya stubbornly demanded so. Karishma tried to take Kaushalya back to the area where the other students were but she was adamant. Karishma caught her hand and started dragging her but an irritated Kaushalya jerked her hand harshly as a result Karishma got disbalanced. As they were on the edge of the cliff Karishma slipped and fell down from there while Kaushalya just watched everything in horror.
Flashback ends
Anubhav: Uske baad ko school se phone aaya ki Kashi ka accident hua hai aur usse hospital mein admit kiya hai. Woh khaai gehri nahi thi isliye Kashi bach gayi magar uski yaadasht chali gayi. Dheere dheere usse hum sab yaad agaye sivay Kashish ke. Uss din uss khaai ke paas kya hua? Kashi kaise giri humhe kuch nahi pata aur na Kashish ke baare mein pata hai. Humne bohot koshish ki usse dhoondne ki lekin asafal rahe hum. Baadmein majboor hoke humhe manna pada ki Kashish iss duniya mein nahi hai, shayad uss wakt jab Kashi giri thi tab Kashish bhi ussi pahad se niche gir gayi.
Haseena is sad hearing about the past, she hugs Anubhav tightly and consoles him.
Anubhav: Aapko ek aur baat batao priye, jab hum Akshu se pehli baar mile te uske Lucknow transfer ke baad tab usne humhe isliye nahi pehchana kyunki Kashi ne usse bataya ki uske maike mein sirf uske bhai aur bhabhi hai jabki unki chutki ki behen bhi hai jisse woh choti kehte te. Uss din Akshu ke ghar pe jab unhe pata chala ki hum dono hi unke Anu aur Chutki hai toh baadmein dono humse akele mein baat karne aaye aur choti ki baare mein pucha bhi. Choti ki maut ke baare mein sunkar unko bhi bohot dukh hua.
Haseena: Anu sambhaliye apne aapko.
Anubhav: Humesha humare saath hi aisa kyun hota hai Haseena ji. Pehle maa humko chodke chali gayi jab hum bohot chote te, phir Kashish aur uske 5 saal baad baba bhi humko chodke chale gaye Kashi ke vivah ke baad. Humari kismat toh dekhiye Haseena ji hum Kashish ki maut ka dukh bhi nahi mana sakte kyunki Kashi ko toh uske baare mein kuch bhi yaad nahi.
Chennai
A girl is sitting in her house lost in thoughts, a boy comes to her with 2 mugs of coffee. The girl takes her coffee while the boy sits near her with his coffee.
Boy: Kya hua Kashish kya soch rahi ho?
Kaushalya: Aaj apne parivaar ki bohot yaad aarahi hai humhe Yuvi.
Yuvraj: Toh jao na apne parivaar ke paas, unse milo. Woh bhi zaroor tumhare liye tadpe honge jaise tum picchle das saalon se tadpi ho. Humari baat maano aur ek baar unse milo.
Kaushalya: Wahi toh nahi karsakte hum. 10 saal pehle joh hua uska kaaran hum hai, kis muh se jaye apne parivaar ke paas? Humko aaj bhi yaad hai 10 saal pehle ka woh haadsa.
Flashback
Karishma falls down from the cliff while Kaushalya watches in horror. The naive girl out of fear decided to just run away from there.
Few hours later
Kaushalya is walking on the road covering her face with a scarf. She was passing by a tea shop when she hears the news on the tv there.
Reporter: Lucknow ke Commissioner Keshav Singh ki betiyon ke saath hua bohot bada haadsa. Sutron ke mutabik unki betiya ek khaai se neeche gir gayi. Badi beti Karishma Singh bohot hi ghayal avastha mein mili hai kintu choti beti Kaushalya Singh abhi bhi lapata hai lekin unki khoj abhi bhi jaari hai. Karishma Singh ki haalat abhi bohot nazuk hai, woh zindagi aur maut se ladh rahi hai Lucknow Hospital mein.
Kaushalya(in mind): Kariamma Lucknow hospital mein hai, humko abhi jaana hoga unke paas.
Kaushalya rushes towards the hospital and reaches there soon.
In hospital.
Kaushalya sees her father and brother who were worriedly waiting outside Karishma's ward, she was about to approach them when the doctor comes out so Kaushalya stops and hudes there only listening to their conversation.
Keshav: Doctor saab humari beti kaisi hai?
Anubhav: Humari Kashi theek toh hai na.
Doctor: Hum patient ki jaan bachane mein kamyab toh hogaye lekin(pause) I'm sorry to say par unki yaadasht chali gayi hai. Aap log chinta mat kijiye, dheere dheere unki yaadasht zaroor wapas aayegi.
Listening to this Kaushalya is heartbroken and she runs away from there blaming herself for her sister's condition.
Flashback ends
Yuvraj hugs Kashish who was teary eyed while she snuggles into him keeping her head on his chest. Yuvraj kisses her hair.
Kaushalya: Kariamma ki yaadasht jaane ki khabar ne humko andar se puri tarah todh diya aur hum waha se bhaag gaye yeh sochkar ki jeevan mein phir kabhi apna yeh manhoos chehra nahi dikhayenge apne parivaar ko.
Yuvraj(sternly): Khabadaar agar tumne phirse khudko manhoos kaha toh Kashish. Tum manhoos nahi ho, balki tum toh sabke liye good luck ho. Tumko yaad hai hum kaise mile te pehli baar.
Kaushalya: Bohot acche se, uss din ko hum kaise bhul sakte hai.
Flashback
2 days after that incident Kaushalya is roaming here and there aimlessly. She sees a cliff and decides to end her life so she goes there. She gathers courage and jumps from the cliff closing her eyes but suddenly feels a hand clutching hers. She looks up and sees that a man of her father's age has caught her, the man slowly pulls her up.
Man: Beta kon hai aap aur yeh kya kar rahe te. Aapko pata hai aatmahatya karna sabse bada paap hai.
Kaushalya(scared): Sorry uncle woh humko kuch samajh nahi aaya isliye galat kadam uthane gaye.
Man: Beta aapka naam kya hai? Aapke parivaar wale kaha hai?
Kaushalya: Humara naam Kaushalya hai(lies) humara koi parivaar nahi hai uncle, hum ekdam akele hai iss duniya mein.
Man: Beta aap akele nahi hai, hum hai na. Aaj se tum humari beti ho Kaushalya. Arey hum tumko apna naam batana bhul hi gaye, humara naam Anand Singh hai. Tum humare saath humare ghar chalo.
Flashback ends
Yuvraj: Uss din bauji tumko ghar leke aaye aur hum pehli baar mile. Humari dosti hui aur phir dheere dheere pyaar hogaya. Uske baad hum Chennai shift hogaye bauji ke transfer ke kaaran. Amma aur bauji kitne khush te jab humne unko apne rishte ke baare mein bataya, tumhari jaisi bahu paana unke liye saubhagya ki baat thi.
Kaushalya: Bauji ne kabhi humare beech antar nahi kiya, humare actress banne mein unka pura support mila tha humko. Unhe kitna garv tha jab hum inte bade actress banne aur tum SHO joh ki unka sapna tha. Lekin kismat ne phirse humse humari khushiya cheenli, do saal pehle humari shaadi ke ek saal baad hum sabka woh car accident hogaya jisme Amma aur bauji ki maut hogayi aur humara miscarriage hogaya. Humse humara baccha bhi cheen gaya.
Kaushalya cries while a emotional Yuvraj consoles her.
