Mandira
Mihir, and became circumstantially convinced that Mihir had concealed Mandira's existence to have a longstanding affair with her. Mihir explained the truth about the coercive circumstances created by Mandira, but Tulsi didn't believe him.
Karan then revealed to Tulsi that he was Mihir's and Mandira's son. Since Karan believed his mother's lifelong lies, he blamed Mihir and turned Tulsi against Mihir.
The whole family turned against Mihir, except most recent entrant Teesha who looked on Tulsi and Mihir as her parents rather than in-laws and was certain Mihir loved and adored only Tulsi. After the Gautam-Teesha and Sahil-Ganga weddings, Mihir was goaded by Tulsi into leaving the house. The balancing sweetness in the family came from the doting 'sisters' equation established by Teesha and Ganga, and they began to get the distant Sahil and Gautam more and more cordial to each other.Then Shobha and Teesha both became pregnant and everyone was delighted.
But the shadow of the Mandira situation wreaked havoc again, and first Shobha had a miscarriage, and then after Mihir proved Mandira's truth to everyone except Karan, Mandira tried to kill Tulsi and inadvertently killed Teesha and her unborn daughter instead, as well as faking Mandira's own death.
Karan still thought his mother was a saint, so he continued his attacks against the Viranis and especially Tulsi's championing son Gautam. Gautam finally retaliated by tricking Karan's love and support Damini into marriage but then felt guilty for separating her from her love and tried to reunite her and Karan. But Damini decided to stick with the marriage, and she and Gautam grew to love each other and she and Karan became best friends and confidantes.
Then Karan was proven the truth about Mandira, and Tulsi was persuaded by the Viranis to accept him as her son. Remorseful Karan adored Tulsi, replacing Gautam as her foremost champion, and became the perfect dutiful Virani son. Sahil's maasi's (mother's sister) daughter Nandini arrived and became Karan's love-interest.
ANSH- the biggest villan
Then it was revealed that Harsh was really Tulsi's sister's son, and had been interchanged with Tulsi's own son. After a lot of efforts, it was found out that Ansh Gujral, a psychopathic young underworld scion, was Tulsi's longlost son. He was obsessed with Nandini, and entered the Virani family and pretended to improve into a good son and person to trick Tulsi into matchmaking him with Nandini.
Karan sacrificed his love, and Ansh and Nandini married. But he made her life hell, and turned everyone against Karan and Nandini. Gautam and Damini had twin sons, but since Ganga had a miscarriage, Gautam was coerced into giving his elder son to Ganga.
Ansh finally raped Nandini. He also arranged the murder of Shobha's husband Vishal without letting Abhishek know. Abhishek was Ansh's crime-associate, Vishal's business-partner, fond of Vishal, in love with Shobha, and trying to use Vishal without getting him hurt.
Tulsi shot Ansh dead, but – thanks to the zealous efforts of her lawyer friend Meera and Karan – she was sentenced to only three years imprisonment.
Nandini was pregnant with Ansh's child when she and Karan married. Pregnant Shobha married Abhishek, and bore first Vishal's son and then Abhishek's daughter. Nandini went into coma while giving birth to daughter Bhumi, and Karan was persuaded to marry close friend Tanya to provide Bhumi with a mother.
Ganga gave birth to a son Lakshya. When Tanya was happy in marrige with Karan, Nandini came out of coma and returned into Karan's life. Doctors said Nandini must not have trauma, so Karan's marriage to Tanya was kept secret.
Mandira is soon back and wreaks havoc yet again, she has also married Adhitya Gujral! As she comes back and brainwashes Karan, or so she thinks, yet its all a drama arranged by Tulsi and Karan, everyone goes against Tulsi yet soon Gatum is kidnapped, but later rescued by Karan and Tulsi.
Thus Mandira decides to kidnapp Bhumi, Nandini's daughter. But is caught and due to Tulsi, Karnan and Gautun's testament in court and Meera's good lawyer skills, is imprisoned. Yet Mandira knows that Meera has a burning Passion for Mihir!
After this mandira crisis it turns out that Tulsi has lung cancer, and is admitted in hospital and is awaiting her death, everyone comes to see her and soon they all fear that she will die any instant yet after a few weeks worth of episodes, the mellodrama ends, when it turns out that the reports were wrong and she is perfectly heathy!
