On the other side, Professor Dindayal Verma (Ulhas), the tutor of Bhavna wants to wedlock her with his son who is none other than Amar. Keshav Prasad accepts the proposal when Amar & Bhavna has to forcibly face one another. But being aware of reality their happiness summits. During that time, a woman hurriedly approaches, Keshav Prasad, to withdraw money from the post office as her husband is in serious condition. Out of humanitarian consideration, first-time he violates the rules but caught and sentenced. Right now, Bhavna takes responsibility and faces several hardships. Anyhow, with the help of Amar she succeeds in performing the wedding of Anita and graduating Anil. At present, the Indian army declares an emergency. So, Amar pauses the wedding and leaves to the battlefield. During that time, Anil marries his love interest Aarti (Padma Khanna), one that highly humiliates Bhavna. Furthermore, she collapses knowing the death news of Amar on the battlefield. After some time, Dindayal forces her to get marries which she accepts.
