The girl in the portrait made by Shiv, will be Gauri.
Shiv & Gauri will be separated leaving Shiv on cloud-9. He will be very happy enjoying his freedom.
But here Gauri will be very upset as her father is missing and also becoz of her break-up with Shiv.At that time,only Anupam(Hiten Tejwani) will support her & make her comfortable. Soon both Gauri will fall in love with Anupam & he also will have a soft corner for Gauri(forgetting about his old feelings for Ipsita).
Now here ,Shiv will get to know that Gauri is the young girl in the portrait. He will try hard to bring her back to his life but Gauri at that time,will refuse to come to him as she will be in love with Anupam without the knowledge of Shiv.
Seeing Shiv's pain to get back Gauri,Anupam will be in a dilemma whether to start a life with Gauri or to give a new life to his best friend Shiv,whom he always considered his own younger brother.
