Suri, grateful for the increasing acts of affection that Taani shows him, proceeds to indulge her wishes. Taani later agrees to try to be a good wife and thus respect her role in Suri's life but feels she can never love him, or anyone, again after the loss of her former fiancé. While his good nature leads Suri to treat her with exceptional care - he even lets Taani have his bedroom all to herself - he is too frightened to profess his love for her. Professor Gupta dies and after an impromptu wedding, Suri takes Taani to his ancestral home in Amritsar. Suri silently concedes because he likes her anyway and with respect to his professor, while Taani agrees to fulfill her father's last wish. On his deathbed, fearing that Taani will be alone in the world, the dying Professor Gupta implores that Suri marries her. The shocked Professor Gupta suffers a massive heart attack and is hospitalized. Before the wedding, Taani's fiancé and her entire wedding entourage are killed in a road accident.
