Surjo doubts Deepa's dignity and feeling insulted she leaves the Sengputa House with Lavanya's support. She faces many trials trying to meet ends meet to support her pregnancy.

Deepa undergoes labor pain and reaches Surjo's hospital to deliver her child. Mishka learns of this and attempts to kill her when she injects her with a lethal injection. She survives and gives birth to twin girls named Rupa and Shona. Shona is taken away by Lavanga and Prabir since she feels Deepa cannot support both her kids without Surjo's financial help. Shona is made to appear as an orphan so that Surjo can adopt her. Mishka hovers around Surjo and manipulates him to marry her. Their wedding is stopped by Deepa but she is coldly insulted by Surjo and she decides to leave him for good. Surjao still in love with Deepa refuses to marry Mishka foiling Mishka's schemes.

Mishka still hovers around Surjo using the excuse of friendship and pretends to care for Shona so as to get Surjo's approval for her marriage as she still stuck in her obsession, but her efforts bear no fruit as Shona dislikes, since she sees through her act.

Lavanya searches for Deepa and she wishes to unite her and Rupa, with Deepa and Surjo to fulfill the complete family.

This also happens, when Deepa discovers that, she had given birth to twins five years ago and confronts Kabir's wife, the alive nurse, who was their that, day, but she does not reveal anything about Lavanya's request.

Urmi is revealed to be pregnant, with Joy's child and Deepa decides to support her sister through her pregnancy as she had no one to do it, during her time. Urmi starts to feel Deepa's care and change her attitude towards her becoming affectionate.

Ratna tells Shona about her adoption, which sparks tension in the Sengputa family. Shona feeling hurt decides to leave, with Deepa and for the sake of her happiness, Surjo agrees. Later, the girls, Surjo and Deepa live under the same house as a family. Urmi gives birth to baby boy, who is named Deep. Their peace is disrupted, by Mishka once again, and Shona and Surjo leave.

Deepa decides to live in Sengputa house for her children's sake, despite her anger for Surjo. The whole family decides to help him win back Deepa's heart and as they start to live together, Deepa anger for Surjo goes away.

On the day, Surjo plans to propose to Deepa, Misha enters and clashes the party revealing that, she is pregnant, with Surjo's child, which causes chaos once again.
