After her death, Dr. Raju takes responsibility for raising the child, sacrificing his career and personal life to nurture the baby with fatherly love. He resigns from his hospital job and moves to a new place to raise the child.
The story takes another turn when a DNA test reveals Masum as the biological father of Lutfar’s child.
