Later, Dia plans a surprise Birthday party for Uday and invites Ranjivay but doesn't invite Sheena. Samrat is upset with this and confronts Dia. Dia tells him that Sheena's wavelength doesn't match with their group and that they talk to her only because of him. Dia also tells him that Ranvijay has proposed to her and that she's not said yes to him and wanted to ask her best friend first before taking any decision. Samrat explains that there should be a strong friendship between two people before getting into a relationship, in response to which Dia questions the reference of friendship made by him, should it be like Samrat and hers or Samrat and Gunjan's. This leaves Samrat baffled. Dia changes the topic by saying that he takes a lot of time in friendship but not in case of love mentioning that Samrat and Sheena's relationship is going at rocket fast speed and there was no time for them to be friends first. Samrat and Dia decide that they will try to be friends with Ranvijay and Sheena respectively for their best friend's sake and even agree for going on a double date.

While Dia is surprised to see the newly changed Mayank, Nupur is extremely happy that Mayank not only cares for her but also for her entire family.
During the brief time spent in jail Samrat realizes his intense love for Gunjan because of others' remarks since that day. When he mistakenly calls Dia by Gunjan's name while saving her from falling off the ladder, he realizes that Gunjan is all over his head. Later, Gunjan believes that he has heard her extensive confession, and through a series of unfortunate circumstances, neither of them communicates their feelings leading to an extension of their friendship and a misunderstanding. At this point, both sisters are hurt from their relationship difficulties and decide to immediately take a leave from Excel for an upcoming family wedding in Morena.
After the sisters leave, the gang feels lonely knowing Dia and Uday would leave soon as well for the function. Mayank, wanting to apologize to Nupur for hiding their relationship and scolding her, follows her to Morena and enters the Bhushan household posing as Nupur's childhood friend 'Bablu' who has come to consider marrying her. Samrat and Benji reach Morena as Dia and Uday's friends. Samrat finally expresses his love to Gunjan on the night of Dusshera. Mayank promises to commit to Nupur.

She faints while running to stop Mayank, Nupur and Mayank are able to sort out their differences and Mayank confesses his love to her in front of public, Samrat and Gunjan are delighted to hear this conversation via Benji while being locked in a room which was initially set up for Mayank and Nupur.

While Mayank is gone, Ratna and the Bhushan family decide to get Nupur married and send the match, Bablu, to college. This new character is Adhiraj, Nupur's childhood friend and expected suitor. Adhiraj mistakes another Nupur to be the Nupur he is looking for. The gang takes advantage of this and Adhiraj and the new Nupur begin to like each other.
The new Nupur gains everyone's trust and befriends them. However, she feels a strong affinity for Samrat. Her extreme concern for him creates a doubt in Gunjan's mind. The new Nupur insists Samrat to teach her basketball - an excuse to stay close to him. Meanwhile, Gunjan finds her passport and it is revealed to her that the new Nupur is actually Suhani Shergil. Mayank returns to surprise his friends and comes to learn of what the gang has been up to and convinces them to tell Adhiraj the truth about Nupur. On questioning, Suhaani tells Gunjan that she is Samrat's long lost sister and how Samrat lived alone from a young age and begrudged the entire family because of his parents' bitter divorce. In the custody battle, he was separated from his sister and has since believed that his mother chose his sister over him. Suhaani had been living in London with their mother before coming to Excel to reunite with Samrat. Gunjan agrees to help her reunite with Samrat. Samrat is irked by the habit of Suhani of reminding him of his past, he often ends up losing his temper and shouts at her. While he's confused of his extreme behaviour towards Suhani, he gets concerned when he mistakenly hits Suhani with his basketball. But again ends up scolding her publicly when she asks him of his guilt of hitting someone the same way in his childhood. However, Gunjan always plays the peacemaker. Suhani cooks Samrat's favourite dessert about which nobody knew and this makes him suspicious. Suhani ties a good luck charm on Samrat's hand wishing him all the best for the upcoming match in which Adiraj and Samrat both were participating. Later, Mayank and Nupur learn about Suhani's identity. In a party, Samrat compliments Suhani when she was dancing which makes her really happy. When Samrat hugs her while dancing, she is overwhelmed and couldn't control her tears and runs away for the party. Samrat goes behind her and gets severely injured while trying to save her from getting hit from a bike. Suhani panics and takes him to the hospital with the gang's help. Adiraj questions Suhani about her feelings for Samrat when he sees her in a miserable condition in the hospital. Samrat also confronts her about her concern and the fact that she knows everything about his likes and dislikes. He rebukes her and suspects that she is hiding something. He refuses to take any rest unless Suhani answers all his questions. On further questioning by Adiraj and Samrat about Samrat and her relationship, she breaks down and kneels in front of Samrat. She reveals about them being siblings. While, Samrat refuses to accept her, Adiraj feels cheated knowing the reality of her not being Nupur Bhushan. Samrat rushes to college and breaks open Suhani's locker to find evidences of her being his sister. He gets infuriated to know that Gunjan and his friends new about Suhani's identity and they too hid the truth from him. He refuses to talk to anybody including Dia who tries to sympathize with him.

Adhiraj soon decides to call off the wedding, but before he can tell his father he is accidentally knocked out by Uday, so Mayank reluctantly replaces Adhiraj at the wedding ceremony.

When she addresses him as brother-in-law, he gets extremely happy. She tells him that while she was in China, she met her spiritual side and has been having dreams about Nupur calling her. Mayank tells her that she is all imagining it because she was her sister and was very close to her. However, Dia is not convinced and asks Mayank about the accident and Nupur's death because she was not in the city when the incident happened. Initially reluctant Mayank gives in to Dia's insistence and tells her that they themselves received her body. He further tells that her face got damaged and was unrecognisable because she suffered a lot of burns. Dia is shocked to hear this and tells him that it's impossible because as far as she knows there was no fire involved in the accident. Infact, it was Gunjan who got severely injured and Dia was there to take care of her in the hospital. Nupur was in another hospital.

Samrat, on the other hand decides to help Mayank find Nupur. While on a trail with Samrat and Gunjan, an emotionally incapacitated Mayank drives away alone and crashes into a tree. By fate, Nupur finds Mayank and takes him to the hospital. Eventually, the three find her but Nupur consistently and rudely refuses to recognise them. They convince her to stay with them for seven days during which each of them realises that Nupur is hiding something.
On the fifth day Nupur's fiancé, Dhruv physically and verbally abuses Nupur to a point where she emotionally surrenders to him. Although the trio fails to confirm Nupur as Nupur Bhushan, after a few days Gunjan suspects Dhruv to be the grown-up Chintu, a psychotic boy from their childhood school who was admitted to a mental hospital and was also one of the reasons which led the Bhushan sisters to shift to Mumbai. It is revealed that Nupur has been pretending to not recognise them out of fear of Dhruv. Dhruv had also caused the accident three years ago. His intent was to kill the others and keep Nupur for himself. Samrat then openly challenges Dhruv and conducts a plan where he sends Mayank to Gunjan's house, while Nupur is meeting Gunjan.

Nupur now rejoins Excel as a student to complete her studies.
While Nupur is at college, seeing everyone else's life back on track, Samrat decides to quit being trustee of Excel College and begins dreaming of basketball. In response, Gunjan, currently between being a friend and life partner, throws an MBA program on him and submits his application on his behalf, being oblivious to what he wants to do. Samrat however lies to Gunjan to keep her pleased and simultaneously begins an all-female basketball team in which Ash takes part. Samrat, upset with Ash bunking classes, forces her to get a letter signed that excuses her from class. Unable to reveal Samrat's secret team to Gunjan, Ash tries to get Mayank's permission but with no success so she forges Mayank's signature. Mayank, thinking Nupur also did this, rusticates her from the college. However, when Ash gets to know of this, she tells Mayank the truth.

Uday now interacts with an unconscious elderly man in a wheelchair who won a '5 crore Best Family' lottery; telling everyone else he is dead and has a family who is in need of this money when in fact Uday wants to pocket it. Under a false pretense, everyone works together to enact the supposed family this man would have had for an inspector. This family happens to be an idealized version of what the gang already has: intense love, fighting, and an inept Dodo. While doing this Uday loses the money to the unconscious man and Gunjan discovers that Nupur and Mayank are back to terms. Later, the gang also manages to save Excel College from being demolished from the hands of Dhingra, a builder cum goon.
Now finally as things start to settle in life Gunjan realizes that she never deserved such an unconditional and persistent lover in her life. In fact, she feels she needs to apologize to Samrat for all of the times she has held him guilty for things he had never done. When apologizing on the night of Diwali, Samrat for the first time in three years notices his given engagement ring back on Gunjan's finger. Samrat then makes a grand plan to propose to Gunjan, which all goes sideways. Nupur finds out that she is pregnant and decides to hide it. Samrat finds Nupur's pregnancy strip and confronts her over the phone. Nupur finally reveals her pregnancy. At first, Mayank pretends to be angry but then he comforts her by saying that Nupur had given him immense pleasure by telling this to him.
