nupur is still very much alive but in a coma. what happens is that samrat's mom hides nupur and pays the doctors and nurses to make it seem like she has died because she didnt want such a simpleton as gunjan to enter her son's life. but fate has it own mind, and nupur regains her conscious but the only problem being she has become the vidya balan of salaam-e-ishq. she has lost her memory from the time she and gunjan both came to mumbai. the rest of the gang finds her and is shocked to see that she only remembers gunjan and mayank's name and love has been erased from her memory. despite mayank's various attempts to remind nupur of his love, she remembers nothing. and then mayank says the famous lines of john abhraham, "hum nayin yaadein banaye ge." and so begins the second phase of mayank and nupur's love story as they both go from hating each other to becoming friends to becoming the greatest love story since Raj and Simran. and during the whole time, samrat and gunjan are making attempts to fill in the huge gap which was created between them due to the death of nupur š
this way, not only will Rati be able to portray a different shade of nupur as she fights herself to remember mayank, but mayur and sajan will both be reunited, and above all, mjht will regain the fans it has lost in the past months by going back to the same fun filled, love struck, and simply AWESOME show.
