Show Summary (from 4th October 2010)
Nivedita calls Naintara to bring money for Keshav's treatment... Nivedita is told that until she brings the money, the treatment cannot continue. Meanwhile, Bhuvan is in the hospital, in a critical state. Siddharth cannot get Nivedita's words out of his head. Siddharth and Nivdita have a confrontation, but Siddharth doesn't realise Keshav is also in hospital. He insults Nivedita and asks her to leave from there. When Nivedita is told that Keshav is being shifted into a ward, Nivedita quickly helps. Siddharth sees Keshav and realises why Nivedita was there.
At the Sood mansion, Viren decides to go for a walk when he sees Divya. He wrongly assumes that she is the Sharma daughter who ruined the family. He drags Divya to the hospital, and Siddharth sees them. He tells Viren that Divya isn't the one. Realising his mistake, he goes for a walk when he sees Nivedita, and recognises her as the girl he saved. They have an argument.
Suddenly, Siddharth and Viren are told that Bhuvan is trying to speak. They rush to the family, and Chanchal tells them that Bhuvan is speaking of fulfilling his last wish - that the daughter of the Sharma family will be his daughter-in-law, however Chanchal says that it's Divya. Siddharth wants to talk to Bhuvan, but Viren stops him. Siddharth walks off, and Viren & him have an argument. Siddharth sees Nivedita and is confused.
Nivedita decides to go to the mandir, and meets Yashodhara and Chanchal there as well. Chanchal insults Nivedita, but Nivedita stands firm. Nivedita prays for her father's wellbeing, and begins singing. Viren hears her singing, and begins playing his flute. Afterwards, Nivedita and Viren meet again, but she leaves before Yashodhara and Chanchal see her.
Nivedita goes back to the hospital, and Siddharth passes her in the hallway. Seeing Bhuvan unconcious, Siddharth makes the decision to get engaged to Divya. The next day, Siddharth and Divya are getting engaged in front of Bhuvan, but Bhuvan is trying to tell them something. Chanchal tries to force Siddharth to put the ring on Divya's finger, and eventually Siddharth does - and Nivedita watches. However, Bhuvan has seen Nivedita, and he tries to point towards her, but it's too late. Siddharth and Divya are engaged.
Not being able to properly convey what he wanted, Bhuvan has another heart attack. Siddharth goes outside to find a doctor and sees Nivedita running away. Vandana and Siddharth talk about Keshav trying to commit suicide, and Vandana advises Siddharth not to let people sway him.
Nivi runs through the corridors, and almost slips. Viren saves her, and both have another confrontation. She walks away.
Eventually things between Siddharth and Nivedita deterioriate to such an extent that Nivedita tells Siddharth that the only relationship they have is of brother & sister-in-law.
Bhuvan is brought home, but his condition is no better than of that when he was in hospital.
Viren decides to meet Divya's family. Meanwhile Nivedita has the hospital bills to pay - the doctor has given her a day to pay it off. She decides to go looking for work. Viren meets Naintara, and Naintara is very happy to see him, but Viren is reminded of his revenge plan.
Nivedita is unsuccessful at looking for work the first day. Viren gives her a lift home, but Nivedita stops him before he finds out her house. The next day, Nivedita gets a job with a event planner - Sharmila. Sharmila gives her the money upfront to pay Keshav's hospital bills. However, Nivedita's first job is to decorate the Sood house for a jagrata they're planning. At first Chanchal doesn't want her in the house, but Yashodhara eventually allows it. Meanwhile Naintara is furious that Nivedita is working for the Soods, but cannot do anything.
At the jagrata, Nivedita's scarf goes on fire, and Viren saves her. It is around then that both find out who the other is, but neither say anything until later.
The next day, Divya and Siddharth's wedding date is finalised. Sharmila is asked to decorate the house for the upcoming wedding events, and Nivedita gets onto it straight away. Viren and Nivedita become slightly closer, and he helps Nivedita with Chanchal's orders. Viren and Nivedita agree to become friends - many moments are shown between them, and Viren stands up for Nivedita when Sharmila scolds her.
At Siddharth and Divya's giddha ceremony, Viren forces Nivedita to join the celebration. Chanchal and Yashodhara aren't happy, but say nothing. Nivedita is told to grab something from upstairs, and goes to do so. Viren follows her, and in the process of helping her, he cuts himself. It is at that moment that Viren professes his love for Nivedita.
The Sood family come in, and Chanchal scolds Nivedita for allowing Viren to get hurt. Nivedita says nothing, but is still reeling from Viren's confession.
Nivedita tries to avoid Viren, but is unable to do so. Meanwhile Siddharth is avoiding Divya as he still loves Nivedita. Divya wants to talk to him, and tells Nivedita so. At another ceremony (forgot which one this was) Viren wants Nivedita to dance with him, and for appearance's sake, she does so.
After Viren's dance to Nagada Nagada, Divya forces Siddharth to listen to her. She confronts him that he's only marrying her because of Bhuvan. Siddharth doesn't love her at all - however, she loves him more than her life, and one day she will make a place in his heart for her. Siddharth says nothing, and Nivedita is listening to all this at the stairs. Siddharth turns to leave, and sees Nivedita. It is evident that he still wants her.
Not being able to stand this, Nivedita runs to her home, unaware that Viren is following her. She drops her bracelet on the way home. Viren picks it up. Back at her home, Nivedita is wondering how to make sure Siddharth will marry Divya. She decides to get married. She tells Naintara - and Naintara is disappointed. Viren overhears Nivedita saying she'll marry anyone.
When Nivedita runs out, Viren makes his entrance, and tells Naintara that he wants to marry Nivedita. Naintara is shocked, and refuses saying that Viren is a Sood, and she will never send Nivedita into that house. Viren says that he'll break ties with the Soods just to keep Nivedita happy. Naintara tells him Viren will have to prove himself - but he won't be able to. She tells Viren to take Nivedita out of his heart and leave.
Viren walks away after saying that one day he'll marry Nivedita, and then realises he still has her bracelet. He goes back to hear Nivedita and Dadi talking. He finds out that Siddharth and Nivedita were in love, but because of the situation Nivedita must make Siddharth realise they can't be together, that's why she wants to get married.
The next day, Nivedita is decorating the Sood mansion for the mehndi ceremony. Viren sees her and starts walking away, but Nivedita tells Viren she heard him and Naintara talking the night before. She tells Viren that she's lost a lot, but she doesn't want to lose his friendship. They agree to be friends, and Viren gives back Nivi her bracelet. He tells her that he knows about Siddharth and Nivedita's love.
Viren decides to help Nivedita in her mission to get Siddharth and Divya married.
Yashodhara and Chanchal come bearing gifts for Divya, as part of the shagun ceremony. Yashodhara requests that Naintara come upstairs as part of the blessings for the younger ones, but Naintara refuses. Viren and Siddharth both come inside, and Naintara blesses them both. Chanchal looks on, seething.
Later on, during the ceremony, Viren brings Naintara to bless Divya and Siddharth... and then he begins flirting with Nivedita in front of Siddharth. Siddharth cannot bear it.
There are more "romantic" moments between Nivedita and Viren, including one on a motorbike. However, Nivedita makes it clear to Viren that this is all just a show to make Siddharth realise Nivedita doesn't love him anymore. Viren is somewhat heartbroken.
The mehndi day arrives, and Divya asks Nivedita to put mehndi on her. Nivedita agrees, and does so. After a little while, Nivedita remembers that there's more to do back at the Sood house. So she goes back to continue her work, and Viren comes, and after noticing Siddharth coming, puts mehndi on Nivedita's hand, writing his name.
The next night is the haldi ceremony. Nivedita is told to put haldi on Divya, but before that happens, Viren takes her hand, and pulls her to him. He quickly dabs haldi on her cheek while Siddharth watches in anger. Viren starts flirting with Nivedita and Chanchal overhears. Nivedita rubs some haldi off her cheek and dabs it on Viren's cheek. Chanchal berates Nivedita, but Viren supports Nivedita. Nivedita then puts haldi on Divya, and goes to put it on Sid... she almost shows her mehndi, but backs out at the last minute.
To save her, Viren quickly announces that he's going to make sure everyone dances at the sangeet. Divya says that Nivedita won't dance, but Viren makes sure she will.
When Viren and Nivedita dance to "Mehndi Lagake Rakhna" Nivedita eventually shows Siddharth her hand, and he sees Viren's name written on her hand. Siddharth finally realises... the day of the wedding, he tells her that he's not going to run after her anymore.
However, when the time comes to put Siddharth's sehra and pagh, Nivedita stumbles, and Siddharth sees the Radha-Krishna pendant he gave Nivedita when they took their saath pheras (which were never completed). Nivedita quickly runs off, and Siddharth wants to talk to Nivedita one last time.
Nivedita runs back to the place where her and Siddharth took their pheras, presumably to burn her memories of him. However, Siddharth also reaches there. He accuses Nivedita of still loving him, but Nivedita tries to convince him otherwise. She tells Siddharth to get married, but instead Siddharth decides to go back to tell everyone that he still loves Nivedita.
Nivedita runs back to the Sood house, and tells Viren of Siddharth's plan. In order to stop Siddharth, Viren decides to tell his family that he wants to marry Nivedita. Chanchal tries to throw Nivedita out, but Viren stops her. He tells his family that he loves Nivedita and that he will marry her. Siddharth tells Viren off, and tells Viren to stop the act.
However Viren is adamant that he will only marry the girl he loves. The Sood family is aghast, and Viren says that he will get their blessings. However Naintara has arrived, and has heard what Viren and Nivedita are planning. She tells Nivedita off, but Nivedita is firm - she will marry Viren. Naintara is shocked, and leaves immediately.
The Sood family - minus Viren - make their way to the Sharma house for Siddharth and Divya's wedding. Meanwhile, Viren and Nivedita are walking along the road. Nivedita stops Viren after awhile, and asks him what they're going to do now. Viren says they are going to get married, and they end up at a mandir.
After a lot of hesitation, Nivedita agrees to marry Viren... and NivRen/SidYa's weddings happen simultaneously. However, after Viren fills Nivi's hair with sindoor, Keshav arrives. He asks Nivedita what the hell has just happened, and Nivedita explains that her and Viren are married. Keshav is aghast, and tells Nivedita that she has been disowned.
Viren comforts Nivedita, and takes her to the Sood mansion, where Divya is being welcomed as the new daughter-in-law. When Nivedita and Viren arrive, everyone refuses to bless the new couple. Viren leads Nivedita to his bedroom, and then tells her he has to leave.
In Siddharth's bedroom, Divya tells him that she will remain patient until Siddharth is ready to be her husband. She also tells Vandana to give Nivedita a sari as Nivedita will have nothing of her own.
Nivedita wakes up the next morning and sees that Viren still hasn't arrived. She goes downstairs and everyone asks where he is. Nivedita cannot answer. Divya goes home for a visit, and Nivedita does the same - but Naintara refuses to let her inside. Instead Yash takes her, and gives Nivedita two rings which were their mother's.
Yashodhara and Chanchal make arrangements for the "muh dekhai" rasam... Vandana makes sure that Nivedita sits in that rasam as well. The guests praise Divya's beauty and insult Nivedita dark complexion. Another guest says that she saw Nivedita and Siddharth together... Siddharth tells the guest to remain within their limits. The guest is insulted and all eventually leave. Chanchal is beyond angry, and pushes Nivedita out of the house... however Viren is back, and holds her.
He takes her back inside the house. The next day, Chanchal begins her taunts about Nivedita... but when Viren talks to her (it's not known what Viren said), Chanchal immediately accepts Nivedita, as does the rest of the family.
Yashodhara suggests a pooja... and while doing the preparations, someone pours oil on the kitchen floor... and instead of Nivedita, Divya is in the kitchen. Nivedita lights a match, and the kitchen is on fire...
