5 Years Later:

The show had taken a leap of 5 years in August 2023. Anu changes her name to Radha and lives alone with the her children, Abhay and Aakanksha "Akki". Abhay and Akki are unknown about the fact that Arya is their father and they constantly pester Anu about their father. During their school event, Abhay and Akki meet Arya. While Akki becomes closer to Arya and addresses him as "Friend", Abhay remains conserved. Chhaya Devi and Arya come face-to-face in the matter of the school land. Chhaya then puts an unexpected condition in front of Arya that he has to marry him. Arya agrees for the marriage and Anu feels heartbroken after learning this. It is revealed that Chhaya is Jalandhar's sister. During the marriage, Arya stops his wedding with Chhaya by fooling her and has Chhaya marry his friend, Rohit. During Anu's visit to a temple, she saves a woman named 'Suguna' who later tells Anu that she is excited to meet her after decades who was accused for no reason and got arrested for years in Saudi. Meanwhile Arya brings back the people who were in jail in Saudi for no reason in collaboration with the government and offers jobs for them. Jalandhar orchestrates an attack on Arya when he was talking with the India returned people. However, Surya who is Sugunamma's son saves Arya by taking the shot and asks him to take care of his family before dying. Feeling guilty for Surya's death, Arya goes to Sugunamma's house as per Surya's final wishes by impersonating Surya. Upon seeing her son, an elated Sugunamma and her younger daughter Usha welcome Surya, but Sugunamma's daughters Divya and Jyothi are irritated and refuse to speak to him. Jalandhar wants to buy a piece of land that Sugunamma owns, for a project that he was doing, for which Sugunamma refused to sell since she wanted it to give it to Surya. Jalandhar, Chhaya Devi and Mansi realise that Arya is impersonating Surya and it is revealed that Jalandhar wanted to kill Arya for standing against his plans to usurp Sugunamma's land. Meanwhile, Akki and Abhay ask Arya to find their father, for which Arya agrees. Jalandhar and his goons threaten Sugunamma and her daughters to give the land, but Arya beats all the goons. Meanwhile, Anu learns that Arya is impersonating Surya when Jalandhar and his goons abduct Sugunamma and Divya to force them to sell their land. However, Arya manages to save both of them. Anu later takes a job at the clothing store with Divya and learns about the friendship between her kids and Arya when he meets them at his house.

Arya attends a Children's day event at Abhay and Akki's school for a drama skit, where an assassination attempt is made on Arya. In the ensuing melee, Abhay and Akki are kidnapped by Jalandhar in a bid to force Sugunamma to sign the land documents, having learnt that Anu is staying with Sugunamma. However, Arya saves the day by rescuing the twins from Jalandhar. Anu later confronts Jalandhar, Chhaya Devi and Mansi for conspiring against her and her kids, Sugunamma's family and the Vardhans. She frames Jalandhar for attempting to blackmail her with his gun and has him arrested, for which Chhaya Devi swears revenge. Later, a suspicious Usha enquires Anu if he had known him, since they hide each other upon seeing each other, but she brushes them off, claiming that they never meet each other. Later, Jogamma says to Arya that he will be meeting Anu at Karthika Pournami, leaving him delighted. At the same time, Usha plans to make them spend time together and succeeds in doing so.

At Karthika Pournami, Arya meets Anu at the temple, as said by Jogamma and at the guidance of a ghora. However, a panic stricken Anu flees and hides when ARya sees her. Goons hired by Jalandhar, Mansi and Chhaya Devi attempt to kill Arya, and Anu gets stabbed in an attempt to defend him, and he is later stabbed by another goon. They are taken to the hospital by Jende and Neeraj who learnt the situation. Anu later leaves from the hospital before Arya can see her, having blamed herself for his condition. Later, Arya learns from Jhende that Jalandhar orchestrated the attack, and imprisons Jalandhar, who vows revenge.

Later, Yadagiri comes to live with them; he questions Arya about why he is living with Sugunamma’s family upon seeing him, but he refuses to reveal anything. While playing with Akki and Abhay, Yadagiri spots Anu in her room and later questions why she is estranged from Arya, and she reveals why she is living away from him fearing his life. Divya’s fiancé Harish and his family, ask INR 50 lakh as dowry from Sugunamma and her family, upon orders from Chhaya Devi, for which Surya agrees, along with the expenses for Divya’s wedding to be taken by him; it is revealed that Harish is working for Jalandhar and his group. Harish and his family ask Surya to pay INR 4 lakh as expenditure for their shopping, and INR 1 lakh extra as cash; Arya reluctantly uses Surya's insurance money after he is out of money. The next day, Harish and Divya go to Arya's office with the help of his uncle. When Surya asks him where they are going, he is offended and insults him, much to Yadagiri, Sugunamma and at the same time, Arya also arrives there for a project performance meeting and narrowly escapes from Divya and Harish.

Mansi and Chhaya Devi forge a plan to usurp Sugunamma's land by taking her signature in the pretext of giving money for Divya's wedding. While coming home, Akki and Abhay meet Jogamma, who tells them that they will meet their father as soon as possible. They tend to Subbu when he faints on the road while returning home. They later come to his home where they meet Padma, and learn their relation through them while seeing Anu and Arya's photos, and realise that Arya is their father. They attempt to make Subbu meet Anu, but she hides upon seeing her father. When they return back to Sugunamma's home, they meet Arya and call him nanna shocking everyone. They try to get Arya and Anu together. They decide to take a pilgrimage to Sabarimala to fulfil their wish of finding their father. In the meantime, Akki and Abhay do different types of rituals along with Arya for their pilgrimage in Sugunamma's home.

A visit to the temple makes Sugunamma realise that Surya and Radha will make an ideal couple. At Sugunamma's orders, Usha shows Surya and Radha's horoscopes and makes Sugunamma believe that they are a perfect match. She later convinces Radha to marry Surya, to her shock; she also blackmails Surya to do so, and he reluctantly accepts. He later asks Radha to marry him, but she refuses to do so. At the next morning, the twins write a letter stating that they have left because that Anu and Arya refused to marry, leaving Anu in tears and Arya shocked, and they decide to search with Sugunamma and her family. Jalandhar, Chhaya Devi and Mansi learn about this and decide to have them kidnapped and killed in a bid to exact revenge on Arya. While wandering around the city, Akki and Abhay get into a car belonging to Jalandhar's goons, overhearing their conversation. While searching for Akki and Abhay, Anu meets Jogamma, who tells her to marry Arya if she wants her kids back, much to her surprise. Mansi and Chhaya Devi, who witness Anu's agony, mock her, for which she chides the duo for not understanding the importance of their husbands. Later, Radha agrees to marry Surya, much to Sugunamma's delight. A talk with Arya leads to Jhende suspecting that Radha is Anu. Jalandhar confronts his men for not finding the twins and decides to kidnap them himself. In the ensuing melee, Harish uses it as an opportunity to get the land in his name and gets Divya and Jyothi's signatures. Surya later finds the twins, rescues them from Jalandhar, and brings them back home. Upon hearing the news that Radha and Surya are getting married, Akki and Abhay are delighted. Jalandhar, upon hearing the news, lashes out at Harish and vows to stop their wedding.

As part of the mehendi function, Akki and Abhay invite their seniors, Anjali, Anand and Akash. During the rituals, they share their worries to each other. Meanwhile, Ghora tracks Anjali, Anand and Akash to Sugunamma’s house to kidnap them and use them as baits in a bid to catch Arundhati’s spirit. Anu upon seeing it realises that problems have begun due to her marriage with Arya, leaving her worried. As Ghora is about to take the kids, Surya stops him and saves them, but ends up getting cursed by the Ghora. To put an end to the curse, she meets Jogamma the next day, who advises her to meet a Guruji. Upon meeting the Guruji, he asks her to perform a tough deeksha, which is begging at the steps of the temple.

Episode 1155 - 1200

As per the Guruji's advise, Radha resorts to begging at the steps of the temple, and in the process, narrowly escapes from Sugunamma and Surya, who came to the temple. Arya, who also met the Guruji to clear his doubts about Akki and Abhay's father, decides to use AI to find Akki and Abhay's father; they rope in Kennedy, an AI sketch artist from UK to draw the sketch. When Mansi and Chhaya Devi visit the temple, they are shocked to see Anu in begging attire and decide to track her movements. Arya gets the twins' DNA done to be able to find their father and informs Radha that he accepted to marry her for the sake of her kids and that he will find their father, shocking Anu. Jalandhar decides to have Kennedy kidnapped, having learnt everything from his mole. However, Arya stays well prepared to foil Jalandhar's plan and saves Kennedy. Yadagiri, Jyothi and Sugunamma arrive at the temple for a Puja; while returning back, they see Radha begging at the temple and question her, but she refuses to reveal anything. They later leave at her request to keep begging upon realising that she is doing it as a part of a deeksha and decide not to tell this to anyone.

Jalandhar later tells Mansi and Chhaya Devi how Arya stopped him from kidnapping Kennedy and decide to create obstacles for Radha to prevent her from completing the deeksha. Mansi orders her mole in Arya's office to keep an eye on Kennedy and his work. Arya tells Yadagiri how he plans to find Akki and Abhay's father before his marriage with Radha and expresses his reluctance in replacing Anu with another woman. Mansi, after enquiring about the sketch with her mole, learns that it is almost over, and that Arya is coming to see it in evening; Jalandhar vows to ensure that Arya doesn't see the final sketch, and orders the mole to disrupt Kennedy's work. By sending Jalandhar's goons dressed as cops, Mansi and Chhaya Devi land Anu in trouble by framing her in a chain theft case. They attempt to drag her into their car despite Anu pleading innocence, but her fellow beggar companions protect her and assist her in completing her deeksha. Later, Sugunamma asks Surya not to go out anywhere after evening since they have to complete the pre-wedding rituals. At evening, during the rituals, Divya chides Sugunamma for giving more preference to Radha than her, and they decide to do the ritual for Divya first, with the consent of Akki and Abhay. At the evening, after Kennedy finishes the final sketch, Mansi's mole discreetly alters the sketch and sends it to Arya and Jhende. They decide it to get a confirmation from Radha by showing it to her and go to the temple. When she asks Guruji how to stop her wedding, the latter tells her that her wedding cannot be stopped since it is bound by fate and that her good times start after the wedding. After Guruji leaves, Sugunamma meets Anu to take her back home; Surya too arrives at the same time and shows the final sketch of her husband, and she gets emotional, but she realises that he got the wrong figure and says that he got the wrong figure. However, Sugunamma, fed up with her son's and Radha's behaviour, tells them to place their doubts and questions aside and to be prepared for their marriage, and leaves with Radha; Arya later orders Jhende to get an accurate sketch of the twins' father after realising the sabotage. Mansi, Chhaya Devi and Jalandhar learn about Radha and Surya's marriage, leaving them furious. Meanwhile, Padma arrives at Sugunamma's house to see Akki and Abhay and learns about Radha and Surya's wedding. When she sees Arya, she is shocked and confused, while Yadagiri takes Padma and explains everything to her. Jalandhar later frames a plan to stop Anu and Arya's wedding. At the wedding hall, Harish is confronted by his ex-girlfriend Keerthi for cheating her and marrying Divya, and he locks her in a room to prevent her from telling this to everyone. Mansi and Chhaya Devi later meet Anu at her room and mock her, and ask her to remove her mangalsutra, for which Anu lashes out at them; Sugunamma arrives with Subbu and Padma to escort Radha to the wedding altar, while Subbu and Padma are elated upon seeing Anu in her bridal attire, and they bless her. As Anu is talking to Akki and Abhay, Surya calls Radha, saying that he cannot stop the wedding, but she can stop it if she can. At their wedding, a minister well known to Arya is also invited as the chief guest. He recognises Arya upon seeing him but refrains from asking and later confronts him at his room, where he reveals everything and why he is impersonating Surya, unaware that Usha, had overheard everything and upon searching the internet, learns about his real identity. She confronts him for impersonating her brother, for which he lies to Usha, and that he decided to be in his place until his return to India upon Surya's request, and tells her not to disclose this to Sugunamma, for which she accepts to do so. Back at the office, a technical glitch created by Mansi's mole disrupts Kennedy's work. They attempt to finish it but fail to do so. At the wedding, Harish provokes Divya upon Chhaya Devi's orders, who creates a scene by refusing to marry Harish. In response, Surya requests them to walk out of the altar, shocking them. Harish asks Divya to accept her mother's demands, thereby settling the issue. Meanwhile, Keerthi wakes up and knocks the door, crying for help. Arya and Yadagiri rescue her and learn about Harish's deception; they stop the wedding and call Keerthi, who exposes Harish, whom they later drive out of the altar with Keerthi. Witnessing everything, Divya breaks down, while her mother and her sisters console her; Jyothi take her out of the altar to console her, while Sugunamma tells the priest to resume the marriage. Mansi and Chhaya Devi, having seen the developments, are perplexed, with the former fearing that her drama will be exposed, but Chhaya Devi tells her to stay, saying that they have backup plans to stop the wedding. As the wedding progresses, goons hired by Jalandhar hurl smoke bombs and kidnap Radha, but Surya rescues her and brings her back to the altar, and their marriage takes place.

On the night of ashtami, as Anu is sitting at the altar alone, with the Paddulas watching her along with Akki and Abhay, Mansi and Chhaya Devi come and talk ill of Anu and Arya's relationship in front of Anu, she provokes Rajanandhini and lashes out at the duo. At the same time, far away, a child also has the same effect as Anu, and she is pacified when the sindoor is applied on her forehead. The Paddulas and Arya, upon seeing Radha, realise that she is Anu. As Anu starts beating Mansi and Chhaya Devi, Padma gives Arya an Ammavari sindoor, which he applies on Anu's forehead and pacifies her. When she reveals what the fake Jogamma said, Arya forces Mansi to tell the truth, and she confesses everything to Anu and the Paddulas; Anu apologizes to Arya for leaving him, and he responds by telling her not to leave him again, and the two lovebirds reunite. Akki and Abhay joyously hug Arya and reveal that they knew that he is their father, and they reveal how they met the Paddulas and learnt the truth. When Anu asks Arya how he tied the knot on her neck despite not knowing who she is, he reveals that Kennedy did a painting of the twins' father, which is revealed to be Arya's portrait, and he learnt about it the last minute he sat on the altar from Jhende, and they joyously reunite; they peacefully live at Sugunamma's house happily. Meanwhile, Anandhi, who believes that Arya is her father, and Rajanandhini as her mother, prays to god to help her find her father. When Sharada Devi, along with Neeraj, come to meet Sugunamma and her family at her house, she accidentally calls Arya by her name, but Yadagiri manages it by saying that he is called frequently by different names. Later, when Arya drops Akki and Abhay at the school, he saves the girl who was running towards him and takes her to the hospital.

Anu follows Divya, who goes to Jalandhar's house to give the land documents to Jalandhar, who along with Mansi and Chhaya Devi, brainwash her to sign the land documents. Anu stops Divya from signing the land documents, and reveals that Surya gave the land for development, and that he gave a share of the land to her as tribute for assisting her mother in Surya's absence and tears the land documents. To brainwash Sugunamma and her family into giving her land, they decide to expose the truth that Arya is impersonating Surya. At the hospital, when Anandhi gains consciousness, Arya asks her father's name, for which she points her finger at him, saying he is her father, shocking him and she loses consciousness. The doctor, after checking her, reveals that she told that due to her shock from the accident. He later assigns his manager to take care of Anandhi, while Anu informs Arya about what happened, and he tells her to contact her lawyer to prepare the documents regarding Divya's share; Sugunamma learns about Divya's deceit from Anu after seeing the land documents written with shares for her daughters, with the highest share written for Divya. Jalandhar and his group gatecrash their commotion and reveal Arya's real identity to Sugunamma's family and accuse Arya of killing Surya, which Usha confirms to her family. Shocked, Sugunamma and her daughters break down and ask Arya why he betrayed Surya. Yadagiri highlights Surya's sisters how he helped them and explains that he impersonated Surya to save his land and return it to his family rightfully. Anu explains what happened at that day to Sugunamma and her family and reveals her real identity to them; she explains why she and her kids are living separately from him. After Yadagiri drives away Jalandhar and his group, Arya admits to Sugunamma that whet they said was true and that he found a family in them. Sugunamma gets emotional and acknowledes Arya's sacrifice for them. After bidding adieu to Sugunamma, Yadagiri and their family, Arya, Anu and their kids return back to their house, with the family members giving them a grand welcome. Anu gets emotional when Arya tells her how much he missed her. Abhay and Akki banter with the family members.

Meanwhile, the girl leaves the hospital searching for Arya while the manager informs Arya about this, and he sets out to bring her back; he finds her, and when he asks about her name, he learns that she is Anandhi, and when he asks about her parents, she claims that he is her father, shocking him. He later takes her home and introduces her to the family members. Anandhi's behaviour surprises Arya's family. Mansi, Chhaya Devi and Jalandhar learn that Arya brought Anandhi to his home through the servant at Arya's home, and her eccentric behaviour; they order her to keep track of Anandhi. Anandhi's eccentric behavior surprises everyone, such as Anandhi playing the same tune on the veena which Rajanandhini used to play, signing the document papers using Rajanandhini's signature, and her frequent behaviour as Rajanandhini. Later, as the preparations for Akki and Abhay's birthday are taking place, Anandhi asks a Rajanandhini saree as a gift made into a dress for her birthday, which is the same day as the twins.

Mansi decides to infiltrate the house to find out more about Anandhi after hearing the news; Arya and Sharada Devi let her back into the house, much to Neeraj's fury; she tries to spend some time with Anandhi, but she refuses to speak with her. Abhay and Akki are irked since Anandhi interferes everytime they are with their father in solitude; she interferes during their oil bath, and gets herself introduced to Akki and Abhay's friends, leading to the twins being insulted and hurt. Later, two people, claiming to be Anandhi's parents, attempt to take her, but she refuses to acknowledge them as her parents, leading to Arya suspecting them, but lets them take Anandhi after they produce evidence. Later, they celebrate Abhay and Akki's birthday happily with the Paddulas.

After their birthday celebration, Arya starts thinking about Anandhi, having not enquired about her parents properly while sleeping at the night; at the same time, Anandhi, along with her parents, meet Meera Hegde at Lilly Gardens and return Anandhi to her; it is revealed that Anandhi is Meera's biological daughter and that she made Anandhi act and believe as if she was the reincarnation of Rajanandhini and Arya's daughter, to exact revenge against Arya and Anu for her downfall. As per Meera's plan, Anandhi's fake parents call Arya and tell him that they lost Anandhi at Lilly Gardens, to lure him there; upon coming inside, he meets Meera, who introduces him to her husband, Ajay Vardhan, who is the son of the late Bhupathi Vardhan, Suryavardhan's younger brother; he explains how they met each other, and how they united together to achieve their goals. At gunpoint, he forces to apply his signature at his resignation papers, but Arya pushes it off and battles their goons, while an unknown person shoots Arya far from behind. They force him to sign the papers, threatening to have Anandhi killed; he signs the papers, and they leave him to die there itself, throwing his phone far away from him. Back at home, Anu witnesses an ill omen, and tries to call Arya, but in vain; meeting Jhende, Anu track Arya's location to Lilly Gardens, and both of them come there. Finding Arya lying in a critical condition, they rush him to the hospital; the remaining family members rush to the hospital upon hearing the news. The next morning, Ajay, Meera and their legal adviser Sharma team up with Jalandhar to form an anti-Aryavardhan group poised to defeat Arya and Anu; As per Jalandhar's plan, Meera holds a press meet, where Ajay reveals himself as a heir of the Vardhan family, shocking Neeraj and Jhende; Ajay and Meera later meet the Vardhans in the hospital to see Arya, and in the process, Meera meets Anu and Mansi.
