Following this, everybody was relieved @ what Sandhya did, except DK, who was suspicious of several things that he saw about Sandhya. So he played a trick by which he made an anonymous call to Sandhya, telling her that Sakshi & Savita were injured. When Vrinda, being Sandhya, turned up there to see what had happened, DK confronted her, but Sandhya, instead of being rattled, told DK that he had nothing to prove that she was Sandhya, even if she admitted that she was, and that she was there to bring him & his family to justice and bring justice to her father & Neeraj and all innocent people the Jagirdars had murdered.
The next day was Yuvraj's birthday, and DK had a challenge for Sandhya that he'd expose & evict her. But that morning, Sandhya turned up @ the haveli w/ a bunch of eunuchs to celebrate Yuvraj's birthday, which totally freaked him out. When the Jagirdars were pissed @ her, Vrinda laid the blame for this @ DK's end, telling them that he instigated her to bring them in. After this confrontation, she told DK that she had given them just a small taste of what they had subjected her to by marrying her to a eunuch just like the ones they didn't like here.
Later, @ Yuvraj's party, Purushottam had Savita & Sakshi over as guests. Taking advantage of their presence, DK tried to expose Sandhya by stealing a ring worth Rs25 lakhs & framing it on Savita. When the ring was found missing, he suggested that Savita be searched, but the ring wasn't on her nor Sakshi. Purushottam then searched Pankaj & DK, and found it on DK. The sisters left in disgust, and Vrinda told DK privately later that she had noticed his trick and made a switch to make him look like the culprit. Later, DK tried bringing in Vrinda's fake parents and get them to allege that Vrinda wasn't their daughter, but they turned this trick against him, sabotaging him.
After this party, Vrinda continued planning w/ Gayatri. DK was still determined to find a way to expose her, and Gayatri called him and asked him to come to a warehouse w/ Rs25 lakhs and some secret about Yuvraj, in return for evidence that Vrinda didn't exist and was actually Sandhya. Vrinda in the meantime showed Yuvraj notice DK make his parents unconscious and steal Rs25 lakhs from the safe, and then go to that warehouse, where they followed him. A woman set up by Gayatri asked DK for Yuvraj's secret, & DK balked. The woman was about to walk out on him, when DK told her that Yuvraj was a eunuch.
B4 DK could get anything about Vrinda, Yuvraj exploded and started chasing him, and the other woman disappeared w/ Gayatri's help. Yuvraj & DK returned home, and Yuvraj started beating up DK, shocking his family members. When asked why, he told them what DK had done, & Prabhavati too slapped him. The next day, the Jagirdars got a CD w/ a recording of what DK & the unknown woman had said, along w/ a threat to put it live on all TV stations & channels. This made the Jagirdars extremely tense on what to do about this threat.
On Purushottam's suggestion, Prabhavati decided to take Vrinda's help. Vrinda suggested that they announce that Yuvraj is about to become a father, and throw a big party where they'd make this announcement. The plan would be that Vrinda would pretend to be pregnant, and when the time comes, she'll bring in a baby that resembles Yuvraj, so that his masculinity is proved, and the CD would be worthless.
However, Vrinda insisted that this would be only for a price, and insisted that half the Jagirdar estate be transferred in her name. Yuvraj & Prabhavati reluctantly agreed, but Sarla & DK were strongly against that. Prabhavati overruled them and signed it anyway, and this made Sarla & DK bitter & they decided to form an alliance against Prabhavati & Yuvraj, so that they end up w/ the entire property.
However, the next day, DK disappeared, and Yuvraj took Vrinda to an abandoned famhouse, where he had imprisoned him. He gave her a hunter and asked her to do whatever she liked w/ him. In private, Sandhya whipped DK really badly, listing every crime he was guilty of as she went about it. Back @ the haveli, everyone was wondering about where he had disappeared, and whether he was even alive. After this, Sarla decided to start plotting against Yuvraj. She overheard a conversation that Sandhya had w/ Gayatri Devi & visited her @ a temple.
Sandhya met w/ Gayatri Devi privately and asked her what was the cause of her enemity w/ Yuvraj. Gayatri told her the story of her own daughter Priya, who was a very lively & friendly girl, and who made the mistake of making friends w/ Yuvraj. One day, she witnessed Yuvraj being questioned about his sexuality by a professor, who he ended up murdering after freaking out totally @ his secret being known. When Yuvraj saw that Priya had witnessed what he had done, he murdered her as well to cover it up. Gayatri told Sandhya that after this event, when she tried to get justice for her daughter, she discovered how corrupt the entire law enforcement machinery was, totally bribed by them. Sarla had alleged that Priya was having an illicit affair w/ the professor & was pregnant from that, and as a result of that, Gayatri's hubby went into a coma. Gayatri was ordered to leave the city of Gwalior, which is why she met Sandhya here secretly, but would now leave. Sandhya promised her that she'd get her back here legally & honorably.
In the meantime, Neeraj had been in a coma, and brought to a govt hospital, where a corrupt orderly removed him from the ICU on being bribed by another patient's relative, and left him in the streets. Neeraj recovered, but he had lost both his voice & his memory. A street vendor would feed Neeraj every day whenever he turned up. One day, some goons vandalized the street vendor, but Neeraj beat them all up & saved him. The gang leader - someone named Raghu - was impressed, and took Neeraj under his care. He started a plan where he'd feed Neeraj daily lavishly, and in return, Neeraj would be his muscle-man. After some weeks, everybody in the gang was satisfied about Neeraj's reliability. Oh, and since Neeraj couldn't speak & they didn't know his name, they named him Gunga. In the meantime, Sandhya, w/ Sunita's help, gets possession of all of Neeraj's personal items that Pankaj had returned from Kolkata.
Sandhya's next round of battles began w/ Sarla. Sandhya revealed her identity to Sarla, and Sarla in turn revealed to her that the reason she helped her & Neeraj escape was to get rid of her, so that she could implicate Yuvraj in her disappearance. This turned Sandhya against Sarla, and she told Sarla that from now on, it was all out open war on her. Sarla tried plotting w/ Manik to get the entire haveli in her name, even tricking Puru, Prabhavati & Yuvraj to sign a document transferring everything over to her. However, Manik sabotaged that attempt, and Sarla was punished by being made a servant in the house. On another occasion, Sarla tried to drug Vrinda @ a party, but ended up being drugged herself, and exposing Prabhavati's uncharitable comments about just about every dignitary visiting them, causing a number of them to terminate relations w/ the Jagirdars.
After this, the search for DK resumed, and Sarla overheard Yuvraj telling DK's captors to finish him. However, DK returned to the havli unscathed, in a new avatar, where he decided to be nice to everybody. He however told Sarla that he was there w/ a new plan to expose Sandhya by causing a chasm b/w her & Sunita. He apologizes to both Vrinda & Sunita: Vrinda rejects his apology, telling him that there's nothing he can do to bring back her dad, while Sunita accepts it, and they start romancing for the first time in their marriage. This also resulted in Sunita having a rift w/ Sandhya, and the end of their friendship.
One day, a prisoner & his accomplice are released from jail. The prisoner is Damodar, Prabhavati's brother, who is also a debtor of Raghu to the tune of Rs 3 crore, & a pickpocket. He had contrived to get into jail to escape Raghu. On coming out of jail, he contacted Prabha and told her that he had just returned from America. Raghu found out about Damodar's release, and set his top aide, along w/ Gunga, to capture Damodar.
In the meantime, the Savratkars decided that Shreya should be the next one to go and find out about these suspicious events w/ Sandhya. So she decided to go. Sarla secretly sends them a message hinting that Sandhya is in fact Vrinda, and that the real Sandhya had been killed by Yuvraj in Khandala. This makes all the sisters suspicious.
On Christmas, the Jagirdars visited an old friend of theirs called Gonzalves, who was a senior official who Prabhavati wanted to curry favor w/. Damodar was also w/ them, and so Raghu's men infiltrated that party as well in search of him. During the party, Neeraj spotted Sandhya, and @ the same time, Gayatri called her and informed her that Neeraj was still alive. Sandhya spotted Neeraj but he escaped from her, and she couldn't recognize him. Later that night, during the dances, Neeraj accidentally ended up as Sandhya's dance partner, and escaped after. In the meantime, Prabhavati lost Gonzalves' kid, and ended up losing face in front of him. Also, Shreya showed up @ the party drunk (DK had spiked her drink), and Sandhya, Sarla & Puru got her out of there. In the meantime, Raghu's men found Damodar, & captured them and took them back to Raghu.
The next day, the Jagirdars asked Vrinda why she was so bothered about Shreya, and she pointed out that had she not been, everybody would have wondered whether she really was Sandhya or not. Sarla privately meets Shreya and tells her the secret about Sandhya being Vrinda. The next day, when Sandhya is having a private conversation w/ Gayatri, DK has left a cell-phone to secretly record it. This turns the tables against Vrinda, and she's forced to confess to Prabhavati that she had made false charges against DK. As a result, she's sentenced to the same job of being a servant. Shreya notices & records this. The next day, Sarla tells Shreya that Mohan, Jayesh & his 2 kids had been abducted, and that they'd only be released once she was on the next flight home. Sakshi too told her to return, so Shreya reluctantly returned.
DK then tried exposing Vrinda, but fortunately, Vrinda had discovered the taped evidence and swithced it w/ the help of a mimicry artist, making it look like DK was blackmailing her by threatening to kill her fake parents. Yuvraj exploded & apologized to Vrinda, who agreed to stay. Later, Vrinda overheard a conversation b/w DK & Sarla, & realized that Sarla was not on her side.
DK continued to try his attempts to expose Vrinda - he tried to make her spill alcohol on Savratkar's portrait, but Puru stopped them. He then had Prabhavati impersonate Gayatri and ask Sandhya to meet her @ a park, but Sandhya brought Yuvraj along & sabotaged this exposure. Finally, Sarla gave DK the idea of subjecting Sandhya to a narcotest, where she's be forced to tell the truth. In the meantime, Damodar managed to get a reprieve from Raghu in return for a promise to get the money from his sister, and returned to Prabhavati. Prabhavati sent him to Mumbai to find out the secret about Vrinda.
Accordingly, Vrinda was abducted, and taken to a clinic where first DK, in order to prove to Prabha that it works, subjected himself to the test. After that, although Vrinda recovered, she was sedated again and subjected to it. In it, she spilt all the beans - that she was Sandhya, that she was out for revenge, that Gayatri Devi helped her, etc. So they decided to show this to Yuvraj.
Next day, Pankaj returns, w/ the news that he's arranged for the marriages of both his daughters Jyoti & Priya, and that Yuvraj marrying the blind Sandhya gave their would-be in-laws the impression that they were a very large hearted family and worth having. Sandhya called DK & tells him that she's got her hands on the CD of his narcotest, and threatens to send it to the police. This scared DK, since the only person whose guilt was admitted in the tests was his own, and he agreed to do anything Sandhya asked. Sandhya asked him to support her in getting the remaining part of the property in his name. He reluctantly agreed. Sandhya also demanded that Yuvraj hand him the remainder property if he wants her to continue to show up pregnant.
Accordingly, Yuvraj demanded that the property be turned over to him, but Prabhavati refused. So on the day of the engagement, in front of everybody, Yuvraj came in w/ the registrar and asked Prabhavati to sign everything over, and this demand was backed by the Mittals - the would be sasural of Jyoti & Priya. Prabhavati was compelled to sign.
As a result, a desperate Prabhavati decided that the only way out was to kill Sandhya the day of the bidais of the 2 daughters, or else she'd ruin them instantly. The plot was to poison her, get a baby from somewhere, claim that Sandhya died of childbirth and that way repossess the property. On the day of the wedding, DK tried to trick Sandhya into drinking a glass that he had spiked w/ rat poison, but Sandhya, using a trick her father had taught her, puked it out. DK, thinking her unconscious, attempted to rape her again, but this time, Sandhya kicked him in the groin hard and threatened to expose him unless he turned on Prabhavati openly and in front of the entire family. Accordingly, DK slapped Prabhavati andgave her a litany of all the crimes she made him do, and how she made him a criminal. At the end, Prabhavati was left reeling while the 2 brides were sent off.
Sandhya then told Manik that she'd expose them 2 days later, on the first death anniversary of her father. When Sunita tried confronting her, Sandhya showed her the narcotest results of DK where he confessed to not loving her, and just pretending to. This was the last straw for Sunita. She went to her room, packed her suitcase, and when DK tried to stop her, she confronted him telling him that she now knew everything about his tricks. She told him that he was completely self-centered and incapable of loving anyone else, and after slapping him, just left.
Two days later, officials arrived @ the haveli to auction off the haveli. When Pankaj asked who authorized it, Sandhya told them that she did. Prabhavati tried to protest that this was their ancestrial home, and Sandhya confronted them w/ a litany of all their crimes against her & her father, and told them that she'd auction it in order to torture their ancestors, and bring peace to her father's soul on the anniversary of his death.
Yuvraj overheard this and tried to strangle her, but police arrived just in time and arrested him. Prabhavati tried to talk her way out of it, but the police told her that they now had evidence for several murders that the family committed, including that of Shyamrao, Neeraj & Gayatri's daughter Priya. Sandhya revealed to them that DK had turned witness for the state, and the Jagirdars were all shell shocked. The police also told them that Purushottam had surrendered earlier and admitted everything, making their case impossible. Sandhya told DK that he had done the right thing the first time in his life, and would get a lesser sentence than everybody.
Sandhya returned home to Mumbai and managed to convince her sisters that she was Sandhya, not Vrinda. In the meantime, Damodar returned and found Yuvraj in jail, and decided to convince Raghu to bump off Sandhya. He promised Raghu the entire Jagirdar property if Raghu could eliminate Sandhya, and Neeraj was picked for the job. In the meantime, Sandhya's sisters suggest that she re-marry, & she tells them about Neeraj. She then goes to Pune & joins Gayatri, who now receives a 'pardon' and is free to return to Gwalior. She decides to help Sandhya look for Neeraj.
In the meantime, Gunge has infiltrated Gayatri as a servent, and rigs the mains so that Sandhya gets electrocuted, but as luck would have it, it's Gunge's accomplice Kailash who gets electrocuted but survives. Later, Sandhya remembers that Gunge was the same thief that she had seen in the Gonzales party, and decides to spy on him, and finds out that they are plotting to kill her. Sakshi then calls her & reminds her about the reward on Neeraj that the Jagirdars had posted, and Manik, after checking several paper archives, identifies the picture of Neeraj as identical to Gunge. They then find out from Kailash about Raghu's plot, and in the meantime, Gunge has escaped to Lonavala in a car whose brakes had been rigged to fail.
In the meantime, Yuvraj breaks out of jail, and is on the hunt for Sandhya. Sandhya & Manik drive to Lonavala, and spot Neeraj's car right next to the ledge, w/ Neeraj badly hurt. They pull him out, when Yuvraj appears from nowhere & attacks them. He has the upper hand on Sandhya, when Neeraj on seeing them fight regains his voice & memory. Neeraj then joins the fight w/ Yuvraj and gains the upper hand. In the end, Yuvraj is about to fall off the cliff, when Neeraj catches him & Sandhya catches Neeraj, and both of them try to persuade Yuvraj to come up. Yuvraj decides that his time has come, and so he'll settle his scores w/ God, but asks them to forgive him. He then lets go and falls to his death. His father gets a heart attack & is hospitalized, while the rest of his family come for his funeral. Prabhavati totally goes mental on DK & threatens Sandhya w/ revenge b4 being escorted back to jail.
Thus ended the chapter of Yuvraj
Coming up...
