Accompanying her in this mission is her childhood friend and love interest, the wealthy and chivalrous Aakarsh Chaudhary. Janvi and Aakarsh marry with an intent to finish the daayan.

Later it is revealed that Asha, the maid, is Aakarsh's real mother and Aakarsh is the daayan. Due to her son's love, Asha is unable to kill Janvi. She joins hands with Saptroopa who erases Aakarsh's memory so that he forgets Janvi, his love, and marries Saptroopa instead.
