Two months after the events of Haseen Dillruba, Rani is living in Agra, running a beauty parlor, while Rishu, now using the alias Ravi, works as a delivery boy with a prosthetic hand. Though living separately to avoid detection, they stay in touch by phone and plan to escape to Thailand in two months. Abhimanyu, Rani’s landlady’s physician, has shown romantic interest in her, which she doesn’t reciprocate, while Rishu’s landlady, Poonam (Bhumika Dube), has made explicit advances towards him, which he also rejects.

A.C.P Kishore Rawat and Senior Inspector Manav Shukla, now in Agra, visits Rani and reveals he knows she and Rishu are responsible for Neel’s murder, having read the book that inspired their cover-up. Mritunjay “Monty” Paswan, Neel’s uncle, is leading the investigation and is determined to prove Rani and Rishu’s guilt out of vengance. Monty quickly captures Rishu’s travel agent, foiling their escape plans. A.C.P. Rawat also questions Poonam about Rishu, but she doesn’t confirm their suspicions. Panicked, Rani decides to marry Abhimanyu to divert suspicion, to which Rishu begrudgingly agrees. Rani proposes to Abhimanyu, but only on the condition that they can’t fall in love. Despite his shock, he accepts and the two get married.
