Iravati (Urvashi Dholakia), an evil queen wants the dagger to rule the whole world and conquers Vijaygarh. Ratnaprabha stores the dagger at Lord Vishnu's temple to protect it and pass it to Chandrakanta after 21 years.
21 Years Later
21 years later, Iravati is still searching the dagger while Veerendra / Veer (Vishal Aditya Singh), her step son awes to her words and plans to conquer Suryagarh kingdom. Chandrakanta (Madhurima Tuli), raised by a poor fisherman couple, gets the dagger, but she doesn't know what she had acquired. Iravati emotionally blackmails Veer that she is suffering from black magic done by a girl with dagger mark on her body. He goes to Suryagarh and initially, pretends to be a lover of Chandrakanta in order to take revenge but as time went by, developed soft feelings and starts loving her. After a lot of events and turns, Queen Iravati finally succeeded to kill Chandrakanta and gets the Dagger.
Few months later
Chandrakanta returns as Suryakanta (Pooja Banerjee) with a revamped avatar to find out that Veer had forgotten about the past time he has spent with her and has become a ruthless warrior under Iravati.
