In gratitude, Shakriya gives a family heirloom necklace to Soni which has magical powers.
Years go by and Soni grows up into a beautiful lady. Raya too has grown up to be a handsome man. He returns to the town during a festival. Not knowing who he is Soni and her friends make fun of him.

Shakriya now lives in the forest with his gang of outlaws and is now a staunch enemy of Rambhaji. Raina is attracted to Raya. He too enjoys the attention she gives him. But it is cut short when Shakriya arrives with his bodyguard and finds out who Raya is. Raya is immediately thrown out. Shakriya has not forgotten the insult meted out to him by Rambhaji. Raina is also discouraged from showing any interest in him. What follows is a love triangle and family pride and the sacrifices that are expected out of them.
