Rani is forced to quit her dreams and replace her father as the chief servant. She is also determined to prove him innocent and tries to bail him out but in vain. Later, it's revealed that Rani Sa is sore towards her adopted son, Veer, cause he was the son of Rani Sa's husband Digvijay, and another woman, with whom Digvijay had an affair with. Veer's marriage is fixed with a rich girl, Kiara, whom Rani Sa chose for him. Rani Sa's daughter, Nandini, is also soon to marry the prince of Gwalior, Jay, who wants to marry her only cause of her property and greed. He also has a mistress, Champa, who works as a servant, for the Rajawats. Jay is expelled from the palace by Veer, when he tries to molest Rani. Soon, Rani discovers that Veer caused the accident and trapped her father.

To avenge his humiliation, Jay plays a scheme. He calls Rani and poses as an outsider who has got evidence in favour of Ramadheer. He asks Rani to meet him in a temple to get the evidence, a temple where only married women are allowed. Rani, who was unaware of this, visits the temple where Jay tries to molest her again. However, when Jay sees Veer in the temple, he runs away and locks both of them in a room. The temple priests discover Veer and Rani in the room and attempt to kill them for breaking the rules. In a bid to save Rani's life, Veer marries Rani. Rani Sa gets enraged and keeps creating rifts between Veer and Rani. The whole Rajawat family, including Veer, refuses to accept Rani. Rani Sa's son Vikram and Digvijay's mother Rajmata are the only ones in the family who support Rani. Rani Sa leaves the house in anger and sends her sister, Padmini, to humilate and expel Rani.

Jay re-enters in the house and his alliance is again fixed with Nandini. Gradually, Rani wins the heart of everyone, including Padmini. Though Rani disliked Veer for trapping her father but still she helps him to expose Jay and throw him out, and protect Nandini from an unhappy marriage. Rani and Veer fall in love. Rani wishes to go to Ballia to fill the form of her exam and Veer agrees. Rani Sa returns and asks Veer to leave Rani permanently in Ballia. Veer and Rani reach Ballia where Veer is showered with love and king-like treatment by Rani's grandmother, which makes it difficult for him to leave Rani. Rani's bestfriend, Birju who was secretly in love with her, returns from Dubai and is heartbroken to see that Rani married Veer. Though Veer initially leaves Rani but returns to take her back when a group of village women assault and taunt her for her husband leaving her. When they return to Jaipur, Rani Sa pretends to have accepted Rani, to play the victim card infront of Veer. Rani gets busy with her father's case as it could even lead to his hanging, if proper steps aren't taken. Rani Sa creates several rifts between Veer and Rani.

They both return to Jaipur where Rani gets admitted in a college for further studies. Nandini marries Jay at Rani Sa's behest. Veer sees a mysterious patient at his hospital who is in a coma.

Ranvijay is Digvijay's elder brother and Rani Sa's ex-husband who left her abruptyly after their marriage, leaving her pregnant with Veer and worsening her health. Digvijay married Rani Sa and hid Veer on doctor's recommendation as it could worsen Rani Sa's health and remind her of Ranvijay.

Rani Sa apologizes to Veer for treating him like an outsider all these years but he gets angry on her. Ranvijay enters the house and starts plotting against Rani to kill her, when he sees that Rani wants Veer to unite with Rani Sa again. When Rani discovers this, Ranvijay confesses that he married someone else after leaving Rani Sa, and he never regretted for his actions and has returned to snatch Veer from everyone and take him away with him. Rani learns that Ranvijay has kidnapped Digvijay. Ranvijay pushes Rani off a building who is presumed to be dead by him. But Rani survives and enters the house, disguised as an old maidservant to expose Ranvijay. Meanwhile, Rani's uncle and his daughter, Kajri, too arrive there.
