On their wedding night, Samrat shows his true colours and Urmi is devastated.

His father, Rudra Singh Rathore and his brother, Dewaker, try to help Urmi, but he ignores them and loses his temper. Ishaan discovers he is deceiving Urmi by abusing and cheating on her, so he breaks ties with Urmi and flees abroad.
