text: Vulcan salute

text: Background[edit]

text: The Vulcan salute was devised by Leonard Nimoy, who portrayed the half-Vulcan character Mr. Spock on the original Star Trek television series. A 1968 New York Times interview described the salute or greeting gesture as a "double-fingered version of Churchill's victory sign". Nimoy said in that interview that he "decided that the Vulcans were a 'hand-oriented' people".[1]

text: The salute first appeared in 1967 on the Star Trek second-season opening episode, "Amok Time". Among other things, the gesture is known for being difficult for certain people to do properly without practice or the covert pre-positioning of the fingers, and actors on the original show reportedly had to position their fingers off-screen with the other hand before raising their hand into frame. This difficulty may stem from variations in individuals' manual dexterity. Its reputation is parodied in the motion picture Star Trek: First Contact when Zefram Cochrane, upon meeting a Vulcan for the first time in human history, is unable to return the Vulcan salute gesture and instead shakes the Vulcan's hand.

text: In his autobiography I Am Not Spock, Nimoy wrote that he based it on the Priestly Blessing performed by Jewish Kohanim with both hands, thumb to thumb in this same position, representing the Hebrew letter Shin (ש), which has three upward strokes similar to the position of the thumb and fingers in the salute. The letter Shin here stands for El Shaddai, meaning "Almighty (God)", as well as for Shekinah and Shalom. Nimoy wrote that when he was a child, his grandfather took him to an Orthodox synagogue, where he saw the blessing performed and was impressed by it.[2]

text: Others often greeted Nimoy with the salute,[3] which became so well known that in June 2014 it was added to version 7 of the Unicode standard as U+1F596 🖖 RAISED HAND WITH PART BETWEEN MIDDLE AND RING FINGERS.[4][5]

text: The White House referenced the salute in its statement on Leonard Nimoy's death, calling it "the universal sign for 'Live long and prosper'".[6] The following day, NASA astronaut Terry W. Virts posted a photo on his Twitter feed from the International Space Station showing the hand gesture (with the Earth in the background) as the ISS passed over Nimoy's birthplace of Boston, Massachusetts, United States.[7]

text: Origin[edit]

text: The salute was created by Leonard Nimoy for the Star Trek episode "Amok Time", which was the first episode with Vulcans other than Spock. Nimoy wanted something to help develop the Vulcan sociology, proposed that Vulcans have a greeting and suggested this salute as that greeting.[8]

text: "Live long and prosper"[edit]

text: The accompanying spoken blessing, "live long and prosper" – "dif-tor heh smusma" in the Vulcan language (as spoken in Star Trek: The Motion Picture) – also appeared for the first time in "Amok Time", scripted by Theodore Sturgeon.[9] The less-well-known reply is "peace and long life", though it is sometimes said first, with "live long and prosper" as the reply. The phrase has been seen abbreviated "LLAP".[10][11][12]

text: An ancient Egyptian blessing "ankh wedja seneb", while its verbatim translation is uncertain, uses the three symbols "life", "prosperity" and "health"; it has been translated as "may he live, be prosperous, be healthy."[13] The New International Version of the Bible, Deuteronomy 5:33, includes the phrase "live and prosper" as part of Moses' admonitions to the Hebrew people prior to entering Canaan; other translations include the notion of long life as well.[14] William Shakespeare's 1594 Romeo and Juliet contains the line, "Live and be prosperous: and farewell good fellow", spoken by Romeo to Balthasar, his friend and servant.[15][16] The benediction "live and prosper" is attributed to the 18th-century organized crime figure Jonathan Wild in his 1725 biography written by "H.D.", possibly a pseudonym for Daniel Defoe.[17]

text: In Trilby, by George du Maurier (published in 1894), a description of an art student ends with the sentence, "May he live long and prosper!"[18]

text: 1990 - 1991:

text: The show moves back to 1990 at Ahmadabad where we see a 16-year-old Naina studying in 11th Science, a quintessential good girl and a topper in her class, limited to her studies and her family. We are introduced to her family which consists of Anand Chachaji (Sachin Khurana), Bela Chachiji (Madhushree Sharmaj), Tauji (Sanjay Batra), Taiji (Abha Parmar), Pooja (Shweta Rajput) who is her elder cousin sister, Preeti (Ayesha Kaduskar) who is her cousin sister and Pralay who is her younger cousin brother (Son of Tauji and Taiji). Naina is shown to have a great bond with everyone mostly with Chachaji, who loves her the most. Meanwhile, Sameer Maheshwari (Randeep Rai) is introduced as a happy-go-lucky handsome guy who is studying at a boarding school in Nainital. He is rusticated from the school for doing mischief with his friends by roller-skating on road and accidentally breaking his Principal’s car windshield. He runs away from Nainital and comes to Ahmadabad to stay with his Nanaji Jaiprakash Maheshwari (Kiran Kumar) who is a rich textile dealer and an industrialist in Ahmadabad. On the day of his arrival, he accidentally spits chewing – gum on Naina’s hair unknown to her, which results in Preeti cutting her hair to avoid more troubles for her, but she and Preeti are eventually caught and they both get scolded and beaten by Chachiji, who afterwards send them to grind the flour. There unknown to her, Sameer again comes and tears her dupatta to tie on his hurt finger. Naina again gets scolded at the house. Meanwhile, Sameer makes friends with Manoj aka Munna (Sanjay Choudhary) and his mother Vishaka (Vaishnavi Mahant) comes to Ahmadabad, where she tries to convince him to go back to Nainital, but he does not pay any heed to her words and gets upset after hearing her telling about his step-father’s reputation. Finally, after persuasion of Nanaji, she gives in and allows him to stay with his Nanaji in Ahmadabad and leaves for Delhi. Meanwhile, in Naina's life, her family comes to know that someone from her class kept a love letter in her Science notebook and they come to her school and question her. After a short investigation, it is revealed that it was Sanjay Tebriwal (Vikram Singh Rathod) who had a secret crush on her and had kept the letter in her Science notebook. She is forced to tie ‘Rakhi’ on his hand and make him consider as his sister on the orders of Tauji and Taiji in class. She vows to never ever look or talk to boys, let alone falling in love. Her voice-over in the show reveals that ‘she still sends him ‘Rakhi’ and he considers Naina as his sister till today’. On the day of admission, Sameer initially goes to St. Xavier but backs off after he learns from Munshiji that his step-father used to study in the same school. Sameer takes admission in the same school as of Naina on the recommendation of Munna and becomes an instant hit in the school among girls and boys due to his flamboyant looks and his upper-class status. On the first day of the school, he indulges in a fight with his seniors who make fun of him and even abuse his mother’s upbringing, and he beats those guys. He also collides with Naina accidentally while running behind one of them. Naina sees him and instantly falls in love with him. She also sees him fighting with the seniors. With the arrival of Sameer in her class, she tries to get closer to him as she has fallen in love with him at first sight. Later, Naina is chosen to be the head-discipline monitor of the school. When Sameer is called upon by the principal regarding the fight which happened in the morning with the seniors, he is suspended from the school as Naina much to her dismay, tells the truth to Principal Pandey (Ahsaan Qureshi). This results in an instant disliking of Sameer towards Naina.

text: Then we are introduced to Naina’s father Rakesh Agarwal (Chandresh Singh) and Naina’s elder brother Arjun (Somendra Solanki) who dreams of becoming a cricketer. Rakesh is shown as very strict, short-tempered and stern father who favors Arjun the most as he thinks that Arjun can only fulfill his dreams by being a successful cricketer. He indulges in a fight with someone on the bus which unknown to him is a father of a suitable groom who is selected by Anand and Bela for their daughter Pooja’s marriage. When he comes to know that Rakesh is a family member of them, he breaks off the marriage talks with them. He also works as a librarian in the same school where Naina and Arjun study. He is promised to have his own cabin by the school authorities, which later turns to be a prank played by his colleagues who misguide him telling that instead of his cabin there will be an expansion of parking lot in the school. His parking also gets taken by Sameer, which results in his instant disliking towards him. After this, Naina goes to buy her new shoes and accidentally her shoes get exchanged with Sameer’s shoes at the same shop due to the fault of an employee at the shoe store. After Sameer gets re-admission in school he steals Naina’s new shoes as a part of revenge, but he accidentally gives her back the shoes as he comes to know that Rakesh is Naina’s father as he had hidden her shoes in his scooter. The school has their inspection by the authorities. Naina sees Sameer and his friends Munna and Pandit (Raghav Dhir) smoking on the school terrace. After seeing her, they throw away the cigarette which falls in the chemistry lab resulting in a small mishap which affects the school reputation. Naina is again called upon by the principal and asks her to tell the truth, but this time Naina denies that she has not seen anyone smoking due to her crush on Sameer. Later, Naina is chosen by Mr. Jaiprakash Maheshwari (who happens to be school trustee) to study at Vanasthali due to her good marks on a scholarship basis. Naina is heartbroken as she must go away from Sameer. Meanwhile, Shefali (Hema Sood) a Christian girl and daughter of a single mother comes to live in the same society where Naina resides. She also happens to be her pen-friend. She tells about her love for Sameer in a different way by telling that her friend ‘Kavita’ is in love with someone and Shefali turns out to be a guide for her. In the school, selection for head-boy is announced which involves both Arjun and Sameer with a cricket match and an examination as criteria. Sameer requests Naina to teach him and she agrees happily. Munna and Pandit try to help Sameer by posting a love-letter on the pretext of Arjun to Shefali so that his way of becoming head-boy becomes clear, but Sameer calls their act ‘Useless’ and asks them to rectify it. While taking out the fake letter, Naina’s admission form to Vanasthali also gets lost, which results in her admission getting canceled which makes Naina happy and she again resumes teaching Sameer. Everything is going well between them until Rakesh comes to know about this and he bars Naina from teaching him, which makes her sad. Shefali eventually comes to know that Kavita is none other than Naina and she makes a promise to her that she will never let anyone know about this. On ideas given by Shefali, Naina tries in every possible way to help him such as giving him blank calls and playing inspirational songs over the phone. When Sameer’s mother comes to know that Sameer is standing up for the head-boy post, she comes to motivate him along with her husband Mr. Vivek Somani (Sandeep Rajora) which irks Sameer. Later, the cricket match between Sameer and Arjun is held. Sameer is badly injured when trying to take the catch during Arjun’s batting, he still somehow manages to bat and chase the target of 18 runs given by Arjun. He gives a fight to Arjun by scoring 12 runs off the first five balls with a six required off the last ball. But he gets diverted and loses against Arjun by 5 runs by getting bowled on the last ball when he sees his mother going away because Mr. Somani tells her that Rohan is hurt, and they need to go right away, which later turns out that Rohan is fine. Meanwhile, his father taunts him regarding the poor performance and tells him useless, but still, his mother and Nanaji give him confidence and asks him to perform well in the examinations. Sameer’s friends tell him not to worry as they will steal the question papers for him while Nanaji overhears him and asks Sameer not to cheat in exams, which he agrees. They almost succeed in making a duplicate key, but Sameer does not take the question papers and gives the exam honestly while Arjun also gives the exams. Results are out and Arjun scores 84 marks while Sameer manages just 50 marks. Still, Vishaka is proud of him as she says that he has become responsible now and gives him a gift. He along with his friends discuss the keys and Sameer says he shall throw them away because he does not want to cheat his Nanu and calls his step-father as the villain in his life. He hears them over and makes a phone call to the principal from the PCO. The principal tells everyone that someone leaked question papers and made duplicate keys. Mr. Somani stops Vishaka and asks her to stay back. Naina sees library keys falling out from Sameer’s pocket. After an argument, when the principal is about to suspend Rakesh due to his negligence, Naina tells that Sameer stole the keys. Sameer is destroyed by the half-truth told by Naina and this begins his hatred towards her. Vishaka and Mr. Somani leave the house as they think that they have been insulted and Vishaka tells him that she will never come in any of his functions, festivals or birthday. Sameer is heart-broken. Still, his Nanaji somehow manages to save him from rustication as he tells the authorities to investigate the matter thoroughly. Sameer is saved by getting rusticated. As soon as Arjun becomes Head boy, his father makes Sameer get banned for playing cricket for 3 months by Arjun and lies to him that Naina told Principal to take such action against him. With revenge on his mind against Naina and her father, he places a bet with his seniors (Gaurav Sharma, Darsh Prajapati and Niel Sharma) that he will make her say “I Love You” by making her hug him in front of everyone and thus try to insult her by showing an example of Rakesh’s upbringing (Rakesh badmouthed Vishaka and Nanaji about Sameer’s upbringing).

text: This begins a new side of the story. While Naina starts hating Sameer for his wrongdoings, Sameer tries to apologize and woo Naina as a part of the bet. Naina even takes back her name of Juliet's role in 'Romeo and Juliet' play, as Sameer is also acting in it. Sameer gives her a cassette recording which she destroys and throws it away. Sometime later, she comes to know that it was, Arjun who had stolen the papers. When confronted by Naina, he tells her that his father’s pressure was mounting on him for becoming a head-boy and to achieve that he not only needed to win the match but even score good marks, so he decided to steal the papers. Naina feels guilty and remembers Sameer’s words. She cries and runs to Shefali who consoles her and asks her to apologize to him. Naina goes back and repairs the cassette and plays in front of Shefali. In the recording, Sameer tells Naina that he has invited her over his birthday party in Ahmadabad’s biggest hotel. She somehow manages to go to Sameer’s party and wishes him on his birthday too, but after seeing one of Tauji’s friend she runs away from the hotel fearing Tauji’s scolding and reputation of her family. She apologizes to him for her behavior and emotionally cries in front of him.

text: Meanwhile, they start spending time with each other and get to know each other. She desires to play the role of Juliet which has been handed over to Swati (Kristina Patel) her best friend as she desires to play the character alongside Sameer who is playing Romeo. Still, she manages to get a small role as a soldier alongside Munna and is happy that at least she is close to Sameer. There is a kissing scene between Romeo and Juliet in the play which shocks everyone (Kissing was considered as a taboo in those days). Naina thinks that Sameer must have kissed Swati’s hand during the play and she breaks off all the relations with him calling themselves as not fit for each other. But when, she comes to know that he did not kiss on Swati’s hand, she thanks Sameer for that. Sameer tries to kiss on her hand, but she shrugs him away and questions on his family values, which angers Sameer, and this again begins a small enmity between them where they fight while having Pani-puri, buying cassette in the shop and even in the school. She later apologizes to Sameer and becomes friends with him again. The school organizes a field trip to Mount. Abu and Sameer request her to come on the trip so that he can complete his bet. While Naina dreams of being with him, she knits a sweater for him, when she comes to know about the strained relationship with his mother. Somehow, she gets permission from home to go to Mount Abu with Sameer’s idea of sending Shanti teacher along with Swati to convince her family to allow her to go on a trip. During this, his Nanaji due to low BP faints on the road. Naina sees him and takes him to the hospital sacrificing her debate competition. After his Nanaji recovers, he praises Naina and calls her a nice girl even telling Sameer that he needs friends like these. This makes Sameer realize that he is not being fair and feels guilty. Sameer helps in fixing her sister’s marriage, reconciles her and Swati’s friendship, fixes his father’s scooter broken headlight and Naina warms up to him, considering him to be a changed person. (But little to her knowledge, he is just doing for the sake of winning the bet and completing his revenge.) Meanwhile, Arjun badmouths Shefali regarding her dressing sense, her behavior, her thinking and tries to keep himself away from her. But he later apologizes to her and becomes friends with her and starts to coach her on playing cricket. The day arrives, and everyone is ready to go on a trip and when they see that Rakesh sir is also coming, they get disheartened. Munna and Pandit somehow manage to not allow Rakesh sir board the bus by locking him in the library and leave for the trip without him.

text: In Mount Abu, they spend a lot of happy moments together and even Swati starts liking Munna in the process. One night, Munna and Pandit get drunk and lock the room from inside which leaves Sameer outside in the lobby resulting in having high fever and cold. Naina takes a bold step by taking him into her room.  She makes him eat the medicines and cares for him like no one ever did for him, which makes Sameer feel guilty and realizes that he has fallen in love with Naina. In the morning, her father comes to Mt. Abu and when he sees Sameer inside her room, he gets very angry and beats him very badly in front of everyone by creating a ruckus at the trip. Naina tries to explain to him, but he instead tries to slap her as he thinks she is also involved, but Sameer stops Rakesh from slapping her and signals her to keep quiet. He takes all the blame on himself by telling, that he hid in the room by becoming a ghost and scare her. This angers Rakesh more and he beats him. Naina cries a lot as she feels guilty to see Sameer in such a condition and comes to him with the sweater which she made for them. He takes the sweater made by her but does not wear it as he feels guilty for being so foolish to have placed this bet with the seniors. Meanwhile, seniors decide to tell Rakesh about the bet which Munna and Pandit overhear them. They tell Sameer about this and he gets involved in a fight with them when they start talking filthy about Naina. Unknown to him, he finds his mother and step-father in Mount Abu who has come for some important work. They see him fighting and Mr. Somani acts if he does not know him and stops Vishaka also from recognizing him. This hurts Sameer more and he goes away. Naina comes running behind him and asks him the reason for his strange behavior towards her. He tells her that no one loves him, no one cares for him and he does not remember that his mother had ever made a sweater for him. Naina tells that she cares for him and admits that she loves him. But, from behind the seniors arrive and tell Naina everything about the bet which makes her heartbroken and she goes into a shock causing her to faint on the hilltop. She returns to Ahmadabad heartbroken. Sameer's voice-over (Jiten Lalwani) tells that, "Till today he feels guilty for what he did to Naina. He always gets upset when he thinks about that incident and thinks of slapping himself. Every year he comes to Mount Abu and remembers all the golden moments between them but feels guilty".

text: When she returns to Ahmadabad, she comes to know from Preeti that her neighbor Megha had run away from the wedding for her lover who didn’t show up at the station and everyone is barred to not speak with Megha and her family by the orders of Tauji, which makes her even sadder. When Arjun tries to stop Shefali from talking to Megha, she also leaves him and stops taking cricket coaching asking him to broaden his thinking. Naina goes into depression, fights with Preeti, tortures herself and doesn't live properly. Meanwhile, in Sameer’s house, Vishaka and Mr. Somani complain about the fighting incident of Sameer to Nanaji. Sameer already guilty about himself gets angry on seeing them and talks rudely to them. When Nanaji asks him about the incident, he replies in a rude manner to him also which makes him angry and slaps Sameer. But Sameer, already feeling guilty over this heinous crime of placing a bet, does not feel ashamed and asks Nanaji to slap him more because of a crime he did, not because of complaint he got from his parents. When he questions his mother and her upbringing, she gets angry and retaliates by asking him, ‘What he has done to prove that he is her son? He always made her confused about the relationship between him and herself. Whenever she tried to go near him, he ignored her and when she went far from him, he got angry.’ Nanaji tries to stop her, but she continues to make Sameer realize about the relationships and its value.  She asks him a question that, ‘Has he ever carried out a relationship honestly?’ which makes Sameer remember Naina's heartbroken face. She even tells him that, ‘He has allergy from love and affection because he is not capable of carrying out any relationship’. This makes Sameer angrier and he goes away. Nanaji scolds Vishaka and Vivek for their ignorance also and asks Vishaka to say sorry. Nanaji tries to sort out the matter, but Sameer again gets angry and asks Vishaka to say him, sorry remembering Naina's heartbroken face and eventually leaves from there. Munna and Pandit along with Sameer realize about the foolishness for what they have done to Naina and his mother’s words which have truth in it. Naina, already depressed get admitted to the hospital when she slaps Pralay also when unknowingly he sings a sad song with Naina’s name in it. Taiji sees her slapping Pralay and scolds her, also slapping her which makes her unconscious. She gets admitted in hospital and comes to the realization that everything that happened to her was a bad dream, eventually deciding to forget everything and move on. Even Swati breaks off all relationships with Sameer, Munna, and Pandit when she comes to know about the bet placed by them. She asks Munna to stay away from her, beats Munna and Pandit with stones also cursing Sameer. She also holds him responsible for Naina’s condition and tells that she is admitted to the hospital. Sameer along with his friends go to the hospital and see her, but they go away when they see everyone out there. When he comes back home, he apologizes to Vishaka telling her that, ‘He does not know that whether she will be able to understand his pain or not, or if he will be able to understand her pain but knowingly or unknowingly he has hurt her many times and is regretful about it’. Vishaka forgives him. He tries to apologize to Naina in school, but she acts as if nothing had happened and ignores his apology, which makes Sameer feel guiltier. He tries a lot to apologize to Naina in school on a number of occasions but of no use because Naina does not even look at his face, let alone forgive him. He sends her a parrot, which says ‘Sorry’, but that also does not make Naina forgive Sameer. He along with his friends stand outside her house whole night to get an apology from her and even buying a bicycle for her but that also goes in vain.

text: In parallel, Pooja’s wedding preparations are going on where Taiji taunts Rakesh regarding his poor status and being a less earner, which results in a fight between them. Anand helps him by giving money to buy gifts for Pooja’s wedding, but by mistake, Bela taunts Rakesh in front of everyone including the neighborhood which results in a fight between Rakesh and Anand, where Anand orders Bela to leave his house, but Taiji somehow manages him to stop and lets Bela live in the house. There Sameer tries his best to get an apology from Naina, but due to the cold and high fever he faints and gets admitted in the hospital. His Nanaji comes there and takes care of him. When Naina comes to know about this, she goes to the hospital along with Swati. Munna and Pandit somehow manage to engage Nanaji in a fake phone call, so Naina can meet Sameer. Naina scolds and makes him realize for what he has done to her trust making her stop believing in love, having an emotional breakdown. Sameer realizes that now how much Naina hates him because of his foolishness. This makes Sameer realize his true love for Naina and he vows to make Naina fall in love with him again but this time with true intentions. When Nanaji asks Sameer about the reason for falling ill, Sameer tells about the bet to him. Nanaji scolds Sameer for what he did to Naina and even scolds Munna and, Pandit for not stopping him to perform such a dirty thing. Still, he gets happy for Sameer as he chose Naina for himself and becomes a guide for Sameer to get an apology from Naina and make her fall in love with Sameer again. Arjun, being under-pressure for performing well in cricket selection makes himself restless and becomes more aggressive which results in him performing badly in the selection match. Shefali tells him the truth that he is performing badly due to his father’s pressure, but he is not realizing this. His father comes there and bars Arjun from teaching Shefali cricket. When he comes to know about Sameer’s bet from the boys he placed a bet with from other section, he physically fights with Sameer which results in a fracture on his leg. Sameer is rusticated from the school due to this and his Nanaji asks Sameer to be a servant for Arjun in exchange for him giving Rs. 5,00,000 to Rakesh, if Arjun does not recover in time for selection match. This begins with Sameer being more responsible for saving his Nanaji’s respect and win back Naina.

text: He becomes a servant in their house, starts caring for Arjun and even tries to make Naina forgive him. Nobody entertains Sameer in the house due to the image he has created in front of them. He listens to everyone’s scolding and taunts mainly by Arjun and Rakesh who leave no stone unturned in humiliating him. One day, everyone goes out for Pooja’s wedding shopping leaving Sameer alone at home with Arjun. Pooja goes to watch Thanedaar with her fiancé secretly without telling anyone. Arjun makes Sameer do a lot of work. At night, Arjun asks him to prepare warm water for himself to take bath. Sameer goes to the bathroom and leaves the tap open when he hears the phone ringing. It was Pooja’s phone, who was stranded at the park alone in late night after returning from a movie. She calls him for help as she tells that there are policemen also, and she is feeling scared. He goes there on his bike and saves Pooja’s respect by helping her get out of there avoiding any police case and drops safely to her home. Unknown to him, water has been spilled all over in the home and Arjun slips in the bathroom. When everyone reaches home, they see water all over and Arjun tells that Sameer went away leaving him alone. Rakesh asks Naina to tell Sameer’s address and he goes there along with Anand and Naina. He pushes away Sameer when he sees him and asks for the money from Nanaji. His parents also come out of the room and ask what happened. Anand tells Nanaji what had happened in the house and Sameer remembers that he left the tap open. Anand asks his Nanaji to stop Sameer’s fake service to Arjun (Anand does not know the reality), while Rakesh is adamant on his money demand. His step-father also taunts Sameer and gives him a warning that, if he receives another complaint from his side, he will take him to Delhi. Nanaji sees Naina standing there and remembers her life-saving attempt for him and Sameer’s love for her. He challenges Vivek on behalf of Sameer, that if he fails in the second attempt he himself will send Sameer to Delhi. His Nanaji asks one last chance for Sameer and Anand agrees to him giving Sameer the last chance. Sameer decides that he will take every step cautiously in order to win Naina’s heart. Nanaji goes to foreign for some work leaving Munna and Pandit to take care of Sameer.

text: He helps Tauji and Taiji along with Naina to distribute the wedding cards by offering them ride in his car. Fulla Bua (Jayshree T.) comes for the wedding from Mumbai and instantly likes Sameer, due to his innocent looks and she believes him to be a good person. She is shown to be very caring, honest, loving towards the family. She loves Naina the most and hates Beena the most, calling her ugly, lazy and useless. She makes her, and Bela does most of the household work keeping Naina and Preeti safe and lets both the girls enjoy the wedding preparations. Meanwhile, it is announced that Naina will be given the ‘Best Student’ award on the day of the PTA meeting. Rakesh does not appreciate this and asks her to take care of Arjun, calling her award 'Useless'. Anand consoles Naina and goes to her school to cheer for her. Sameer plans with Munna, Pandit, and Principal Pandey to make Rakesh award Naina in front of the whole school, by taking advantage of Rakesh’s weakness (Of not being appreciated and getting respect). Even Swati warms up a little bit to Sameer, Munna, and Pandit for what they did for Naina. This makes Anand start considering Sameer as a good person.

text: During the wedding preparations, he along with Munna and Pandit are made to work as laborers by Rakesh, which he agrees reluctantly to win Naina’s heart. He tries to tell Naina the truth about his fight with Arjun but by mistake, he tells everything to Preeti thinking her as Naina when she comes out of the house wearing Naina’s dress. When Preeti comes to know the truth, she and Naina have a fight. Naina tells her about all the past events between her and Sameer and tells that nothing was between them because everything had ended before it started and wants to end everything between them. She takes Naina to Sameer along with Swati and asks her to give an apology to Sameer as she thinks that Sameer has really changed now. Still, Naina being adamant on her decision does not forgive Sameer, but Preeti along with Swati, Shefali, Munna, and Pandit begin helping Sameer to win back Naina.

text: During the Haldi ceremony, when Bela is taunted by Taiji for her relationship with Anand, she asks Anand to forgive her, but Anand tells that Rakesh’s respect is most important to him and if he forgives her, then he himself will forgive her. Sameer along with his friends and Preeti come up with a plan for Rakesh to forgive Bela. Their plan is successful, and Anand too forgives Bela. Bela thanks him and apologizes to him for her thoughts regarding Sameer initially calling him a ‘Diamond’. He even saves Naina’s respect by praising her in front of everyone during the Mehendi ceremony when Taiji insults her in front of everyone.

Naina requests Sameer not to go, but Sameer promises her that he will return for her. His Nanaji arrives and praises him for saving his respect.

At the farewell party, Naina wears the sari. While on his way to the farewell party Sameer remembers that he has forgotten his camera. So, he returns home. He sees Nanaji lying on the ground motionless. He is stunned, and he takes him to the hospital. Back at the farewell, Naina gets worried about Sameer and as her family planned to get to their village for 2 days, she was leaving. Coincidences occur, and they end up without seeing each other. As Sameer admits his Nanaji in the hospital he comes to know that he was suffering from severe heart attack. His friends and his family come to the hospital. Nanaji gives some huge responsibilities to Sameer's mom which he carried out for these many years. And Nanaji whispers his last words to Sameer about Naina and Sameer together. He passes away which shocks everyone. After Nanaji’s death, Mr. And Mrs. Somani decide that they will take Sameer to Delhi with them as it is necessary for him to get out of the situation. Meanwhile, while in their village, Sarpanch's wife proposes a marriage between Preeti and her son called as Kachru, who has fallen in love with Preeti. Since Preeti is intent on not wanting to get married to Kachru, Bela politely avoids agreeing, on the excuse that Preeti’s father was not there. When they return to Ahmadabad, Naina and her family come to know about Nanaji’s death. Naina can’t control herself and goes to his house, but of no use as Ramdhari (Harsh Vyas) tells her that he has already left for Delhi.

text: Meanwhile, in Delhi, Sameer is lonely without his Nanaji, Naina, and best friends Munna and Pandit. His step-paternal grandmother (Kitu Gidwani) keeps taunting him because he is her “step-grandson”. She puts a lock on the phone when she hears Sameer talking to his friends, feeds him leftover food, gives his pizza to the dog and gets the servant Keshav to mop the floor with the Sameer’s sweater that Naina had made for him. Vishaka tries to protest but is silenced by her. She does not let Sameer live peacefully in the house, but Sameer gets back at her by exposing that she wears a wig because she is a little bald in front of her friends. Dadi gets his hair cut short which makes him angrier and due to this, he leaves for Ahmadabad without informing anyone with the money which is given by Rohan (Rohit Chandel) from his father to pay the school fees. He also befriends Amrita (Simran Lulla), who is her neighbor after she lends him her phone to talk with Naina. Meanwhile, Taiji suspects that Naina has an affair with Munna or Pandit when she sees her giving gestures in the video of Pooja's wedding. She tries to bar Naina from going to school and asks her to move in to Tauji's house with her, but Naina tells the truth that she does not has any relationship with Munna or Pandit, when she is given to take swear in the name of her father (Because Naina loved Sameer, not Munna or Pandit and taking swear in name of someone had a lot of value in those days) and Chachaji saves her from going anywhere. Later, Naina comes to know that she has failed in her unit test due to being lost in thoughts of Sameer. Sameer comes to Ahmadabad, but their meeting takes an unexpected turn with Sameer breaking photo frame given by her as he remembers some boys talking cheap things about girls outside the barber shop in Delhi. He angrily leaves for Delhi which leaves Naina heartbroken because she gave him her picture as their anniversary gift. Preeti somehow manages to save her from getting scolded by changing her marks. Meanwhile, Sameer gets stranded on streets of Delhi because there is no local transport due to the assassination of Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi and it is a national mourning day. He gets to talk with Naina through PCO, apologizes to her and promises Naina that he will love his family and be good to them whereas Naina promises that she will excel in her studies. They promise to make their love of their "strength". Finally, he gets to ride back home with his newfound friends in Delhi. He promises Vishaka that, he will be her good son and not give any chance to complain her and all this while, Sameer builds a bond with his little sister Deepika (Ridhima Taneja) and starts trying to adjust with his new family. Naina tells the truth of her getting failed in the exam to her family, which gives Taiji a chance to taunt Rakesh regarding his upbringing and seriousness towards his children which makes Rakesh angry and he tries to slap Naina. But, Chachaji comes to rescue her and tells everyone that she was under a lot of pressure which is the main reason for her getting failed in the exam. He shows faith in Naina and tells everyone that he has faith in her that one day she will make everyone proud. She promises him that she will not let his trust break on her. Back in Delhi, Dadi with her evil thinking tries to frame Sameer by placing cigarette box in his bag through Keshav, but her plan fails as Vishaka comes to rescue by removing the box from his bag before anyone comes to know, as she had seen Keshav placing it. She gives a silent warning to Dadi and starts supporting Sameer. Meanwhile, Sameer starts writing love letters to Naina, so that he can stay close to her and in return, she also starts writing letters to him.

text: At school, Naina asks Munna to post her love letter to Sameer as Shanti teacher wanted to check all the girls' bag. But, Munna leaves the letter in class resulting in Shanti teacher finding the letter. Shanti teacher confronts Naina about the letter and tells her to do what she thinks is right. Naina, who failed in the first unit test, tops the class with 93% in the second unit test. Shanti teacher praises her as she proved that love is not blind otherwise she would not have topped again. Rakesh finds the love letter in the dustbin which is thrown away by Shanti teacher to save Naina’s respect. He reads the letter and thinks that she is having affair with Lochan sir (Rushad Rana). He complains about this to principal and gets Shanti, teacher suspended. When Naina comes to know about this, she along with Preeti and Swati comes up with a plan to save Shanti teacher from leaving the school. Meanwhile, there is a fight between Munna and Pandit over Sameer and some seniors try to take advantage of this by initiating a fight between them. Naina tries to get Munna and Pandit together again by telling them that Sameer is ill, and they should go to Delhi to see him.

text: Back in Delhi, Sameer tries to keep up with the promise he made to Naina but fails, as he resorts to vices like drinking, smoking, fighting with people on streets and playing cards due to the bad company he has fallen in (The same people who gave a ride to his home). One day, Dadi overhears Sameer on the other phone talking to his friends about the adult-film they are planning to watch in his house. She again makes an evil plan to throw Sameer out of the house by exposing him in front of Mr. Somani. She takes everyone out of the house and plans to come back the by getting him caught with his bad friends by removing the lock also on the phone. Munna and Pandit reach Delhi at right time and learn about Sameer’s bad habits and the new friends he has made. Munna slaps Sameer for this cheapness and they both scold him. He breaks down confessing his mistake but later rectifies it along with Munna and Pandit. The trio throws the bad company out of the house and they are reunited again resulting in evil Dadi's plan getting failed again when she arrives with her family. Munna and Pandit go to Dadi in private and give a warning to her also asking her to act maturely. Dadi with her evil intentions gets back to them and falsely accuses them of bringing cassette in the house. She slaps them and gets them humiliated in front of her family by Mr. Somani and herself. Vishaka comes and consoles them as she knows the truth and their friendship with Sameer. She asks them not to worry about Sameer and gives them assurance that she will be with Sameer now and not let anything happen to him. Munna and Pandit resolve their dispute and return to Ahmadabad. During this in Ahmadabad, Naina’s plan to save Shanti teacher is successful which makes Principal Pandey realize his mistake and warns Rakesh that, he will not think twice before firing him from the job if he ever does such a cheap act again.

text: Naina discovers an interstate dance competition in her school which would be held in Delhi. She realizes that this is her only chance to meet Sameer and go to Delhi as an excuse. Naina is first not allowed in the dance group as Kumud teacher does not allow her to participate in the dance group as she had already missed on debate competition earlier by helping Sameer’s Nanaji.

He calls Munna casually and through him, he comes to know that Naina is in Delhi. He tries to retrieve the letter by breaking into Amrita’s house. But Keshav sees him doing this and reports to Dadi and with her evil intentions again, she calls the police and tries to get him arrested. He is saved at right time by Amrita and his father when they arrive and tell the police that they don’t want to file a police complaint against him as he is Amrita’s friend and his employee. This results in evil Dadi’s plan getting failed again. He also builds a bond with Rohan. Dadi again comes and hurts him mentally by saying that anyone he loves will die or remain unhappy forever. His father died when he was very young, his Nanaji died, and his mom got sick very badly. He is largely affected by Dadi's words, still, he anyways goes to see Naina's dance, however, he does not let Naina know of his presence as he does not want Naina to suffer the same fate by deciding to stay away from her when he sees her falling on the stage before the performance. Naina eventually wins the competition but is heartbroken that she is not able to meet Sameer and Naina returns to Ahmadabad without meeting Sameer. He even stays away from his friends Munna and Pandit to protect them. This makes him go into depression. He loses focus on his radio programs and minimizes his communication with Naina and his friends in Ahmadabad. One day during the radio program, Vishaka feels that something is wrong with Sameer by hearing his sad and restless voice. Dadi tries to badmouth him, but Vishaka resists her eventually telling that she will not hesitate in speaking truth about her actions which she had been doing all along with Sameer in front of everyone at the house. Vishaka eventually decides to send him back Ahmadabad to live with his Maternal uncle (Vishaka’s cousin), when she realizes that Sameer cannot progress and stay happy at Delhi until Dadi is present. He shares an emotional goodbye with his mother. He meets Amrita for last time and asks her to keep posting letters to Naina because he is still affected by Dadi’s words. Rohan comes to drop Sameer at the airport resisting his Dadi. His voice-over in the show reveals that Evil Dadi was happy as she was seeing Sameer going to Ahmadabad and was considering this as her win, but in reality, Sameer won because he built a great bond with Rohan and Deepika, got his mother back and even made a friend like Amrita. Sameer eventually leaves for Ahmadabad.
