In another accident while taking photographs of Sushma, Krishna falls down and hurts his head. This injury brings back his old memories about his beloved sister's suicide at her failed marriage because Sushma attached a false photo of them and wrote a false letter she was pregnant with his child which results in him trying to kill her. He says his name is Rajeev and claims Sushma killed his sister, but Inspector Ranjeet arrives in time to stop him and tell him a criminal named Monty actually killed his sister. Together, Inspector Ranjeet and Rajeev find Monty and his gang and Monty confesses to killing Rajeev's sister because he wanted to blackmail him. Rajeev kills him while Inspector Ranjeet kills his gang. An injured Rajeev regrets harming his wife and they are united, saying that he is not Rajeev, he is her "Krishna". [5]
