The magician and the audience are frightened when a bull comes charging towards Titu. Titu informs his mother Surekha about the mishap at the magic show. Titu's father confronts him about the money he lost at the magic show and threatens to take his bike away if he fails in his exams. Titu is baffled by his exam result. Kamlesh is infuriated and gets angry at a postman for delivering the wrong result to their house. Later, Kamlesh informs Titu's father about Titu's result being exchanged with Panchi’s and Titu's father apologises to Kamlesh. Rachna's would-be husband congratulates Panchi on her success. Meanwhile, Titu's father, Govindnarayan reprimands Titu for neglecting his academics. Later, Panchi expresses her feelings for Titu to Rachna. Panchi is heartbroken, seeing Titu flirting with Ruhi. Later, Panchi unwillingly gives Titu's phone number to Ruhi. Titu is heartbroken upon learning that Ruhi loves someone else. He refuses to believe Panchi but Ruhi turns up with her boyfriend. Govindnarayan asks Titu to leave Mathura when he goes home alone. Panchi decides to help Titu. Titu arranges a special treat for Panchi as a token of gratitude for her help. Meanwhile, Surekha tries to convince Govindnarayan to reconsider his decision regarding Titu and Panchi's marriage. Meanwhile, on marriage day Manorama learns about Titu's disappearance. Panchi tries to speak to Surekha but she avoids her. Kamlesh asks Titu to keep Panchi happy. Panchi thanks God for granting her biggest wish. Surekha feels troubled with the proceedings. Titu comforts a despondent Panchi. Golu reminds Surekha of a few incidents when Panchi had helped Titu. Surekha changes her mind and agrees to accept Panchi as her daughter-in-law. She gives ancestral jewellery to Panchi as a token of acceptance from her side. After that Titu and Panchi go to Sivgarh with their families. A dejected Panchi confronts Govindnarayan for concealing Titu's laziness and shares her miseries with him. Govindnarayan tries to prove Titu's innocence to Panchi. Panchi goes back to approving of Titu and Govindnarayan promises Panchi that he will help her in making Titu a working man. Keshav asks Bhagwati to hide the truth of Mukund's marriage to Govindnarayan. At home Govindnarayan learns about Mukund's marriage and also discovers that Mukund's father-in-law has been jailed.

On the other hand Rekha's elder son Keshav is longing for his own child while his wife Bhagwati wants him to accept Sundar first.
