Later Sati took rebirth as Parvati and woo'ed Lord Shiva
In the show, they haven't shown about his ex (Sayali jungam) much....... just a few glimpses where he is imagining her, and following her in the farms........ but that Narpat guy takes Siddhi to that girl's Father, where the said Father tells her that his daughter immolated herself and Shiva is the reason she died.... obviously its was a plan by Narpat to mislead Siddhi into hating Shiva more as the murderer of his own gf...... but he is so much into that girl, that initially even her mention would hurt him a lot......it was mentioned that the family don't take her name in-front of him......
