He divorces Anandi and marries Gauri.

Jagdish's family refuses to abandon Anandi and accept Jagdish's marriage with Gauri. Because of the rejection from her in-laws, Gauri becomes vengeful towards them which creates problems in her marital life with Jagdish. Anandi, on the other hand faces new challenges as she tries to carve her own identity out in the world — starting an NGO to educate girls and fighting against child marriage. She meets the new district collector Shivraj Shekhar (Siddharth Shukla), who is impressed with her. Jagdish's family want her marry Shivraj and move on.

Jagdish divorces Gauri, realising his mistake and wants to return to his family and Anandi. But as he returns, he gets the greatest shock of his life by getting the news of Anandi and Shivraj's marriage. After getting married to Shivraj, Anandi forgives Jagdish and they remain good friends. After some time, Jagdish meets a woman named Ganga (Sriti Jha/Sargun Mehta/Aasiya Kazi), who was also a victim of child marriage and domestic violence by her in-laws. Jagdish helps her become free from her in-laws, supports her so she can fulfill her dream of being educated and she becomes a nurse. He eventually marries her after realizing his love for her. He accepts her son Mahendra as his own and later the two have a child named Abhimanyu.

Anandi and Shivraj adopt an orphan named Amol who suffers from osteoarthritis and give him the love and affection of parents. They even help him regain his ability to walk but later, the boy is found by his biological parents who had never abandoned, but lost him thinking he was dead and take him to Dubai. After 2 years of a happy married life, Shivraj dies while trying to save Udaipur from a terrorist attack and Anandi shortly after that incident gives birth to their twins — Nandini and Shivam. Ganga furthers her studies to become a doctor with the help of Jagdish. Nandini who is 3 months old gets kidnapped by a man named Akhiraj Singh (Sunil Singh) who names her Nimboli and traps her into slavery by getting her married to his son, Kundan to avenge Anandi for preventing 5 year old Kundan and another infant bride's marriage.

Anandi and Jagdish get Akhiraj arrested but he manages to escape from jail only to get his revenge against Anandi.
