If he doesn't fall for others in that time, she will rebelieve him. He goes back to India to meet his grandfather, also Tarakram. Surprisingly his family fixes his marriage with Sneha who lives with them. Tarak must accept this because his grandfather would die soon. He tells Sneha about Meera and she accepts his decision. They then visit Meera. There they see that Meera is affected with cancer and will be dying soon. She had challenged him so that he would not know about her disease. She also gets her father remarried so that after her death, he would not feel lonely. Tarak and Sneha get emotional at this. Meera dies in the arms of Tarak. Tarak and Sneha return to India. Tarak says that he cannot marry her. So his family plans that Tarak will act like tying the Mangalsutra and Sneha's mother would tie it. While tying Tarak remembers Meera's words, "Other's happiness is important than ours". He feels a drop of tear fall on his hand, which is from the eyes of Sneha's mother. To everybody's surprise, Tarak himself ties the knot. Everybody is happy upon seeing this.

The film ends with Tarak, Sneha and Meera (Tarak's daughter) visiting Meera's burial place and making a video call to the family; his grandfather is alive because of his desire to see his great-granddaughter's wedding.
