Naheed wants Pari to marry Taimoor because she thinks that Pari deserves a perfect man like Taimoor and she tricks Akram by saying Pari rejected the proposal but Akram tells her to keep telling Pari that Akram is the one who can save her dignity.

Naheed realizes that if she tries to win Akram's heart, he will forget Pari. So she, for the first time, talks to him politely and tries to sexually attract him but Akram makes it's not gonna work and that he wants Pari. The next idea that comes to Naheed's mind is to poison hers as well as Akram's food so that they both would die and Pari could finally regain her happiness.

However, Akram, realizing that Naheed has poisoned the food and is breathing her last, saying that she wants to end herself and Akram to bring peace to Pari's life, Akram drinks a lot of water and vomits, thus reducing the efficiency of the poison. The neighborhood people see the faint couple and rush them to the hospital where Naheed dies and Akram survives. Before dying, Naheed had left a letter for Pari, confessing all her sins. Pari is heartbroken at the demise of the girl she considered her sister. Akram,soon after being discharged from the hospital, he is jailed, along with Doodhpatti. However, they are soon bailed.

Pari is convinced that she must marry to finally be able to live in peace, and she chooses her own groom ---Akku's servant Munna. Mufti Ghufran does not approve of the union because Pari is very educated and Munna is illiterate, but Pari is determined to marry Munna. The true reason is that she wants to hurt Akku by marrying his servant. Pari's marriage date is fixed. However, a twist of turn shows Taimoor returning to Pari's life. Taimoor is on an even higher post now and wants to settle down with Pari as his wife. Akku learns of Pari's two suitors and is determined to eliminate both Munna and Taimoor to finally marry his love.

Pari rejects Taimoor's proposal saying that it is too late now and that she is now engaged to Munna, but Taimoor requests to meet Pari for one last time to apologize to her and to find peace in the apology. Pari agrees to meet him, on one condition: that Munna would be present at the meeting. However, Pari's persistent babysitter Jumman Bua forces her to go their without even informing Munna. Akku learns of the meeting and brainwashes Munna, saying that Pari is cheating on him, and tells Munna that he should punish Pari by killing Taimoor. Akku hands Munna a fully loaded gun. Munna goes to kill Taimoor, but he overhears Pari and Taimoor's conversation in which Pari clearly tells Taimoor that she has chosen Munna over him because Munna has supported her in her worst times and says she will stay loyal to Munna. Munna is deeply touched by this. He later meets Taimoor and Molvi Ghufran and tells Molvi Ghufran to reunite Taimoor and Pari, and breaks off his own engagement. Munna disappears shortly afterwards. Akku cannot accept his defeat and this unleashes his utmost negative side.

Finally, it is Pari's mehendi ceremony, where Akku shows up, crying and begging for Pari's love. He tries to touch Pari's cheek. However, before he can touch her, Akku is shot all of a sudden.
