Nandini, Dhruv, Mukti, and Alya console him on that. Manik tells Fab 5 that he couldn't save Cabir and is distraught when he remembers him when he plays the drums in his memory. She also tells him about Nyonika's involvement in the blast.

But Nandini convinces Manik and clears his misunderstanding. He is hurt because of a misunderstanding that his friends and Nandini have moved on and created a new Fab 5. Manik then comes back and reveals that he was saved by his father and that he had been in Pune all this while. Her heart knows he is alive and well somewhere. Nandini is always worried about Manik, misses him badly, and wants to know what has happened. Soon thereafter, Nandini starts digging up the truth behind Manik's disappearance and eventually the fact comes out of Nyonika being involved. Nandini hates him and he hates Nandini and stands for election against Nandini and Harshad. Alya and Dhruv move on in life in their different paths but are just friends.A spoilt brat with voice of Manik enters the plot i.e., Madhyam Singhania (Maddy). Navya becomes a RJ and takes care of her new born baby Abeer with Mukti trying to move on in life. Aryamaan always supports her when she's sad. (shows life 4 months after the car blast) Starts with Nandini excited for Manik's birthday and when they are throwing a party Cabir and Manik are not there when Nandini throws a party. However, realising that he can't let her go, he sets a hope vs hate challenge between them, and if Nandini manages to sing with him on the night of the Fusion Concert, there is a chance of them getting back together again. Although it is proved that Manik is innocent, and despite Nandini's efforts to get back with him, he makes her suffer, as he felt Nandini didn't trust him enough and felt she betrayed him. However, when Nandini finds out that Soha has died in the fire (a ploy set up by Nyonika and Soha's father), and that too perhaps because of Manik, she remains silent in court when she is asked if Manik had anything to do with Soha's death. Soha's obsession with Manik reaches a dangerous level and she attempts to kill Nandini in a fire but she is saved by Manik. Due to a misunderstanding led by Soha's father, Nandini believes that Manik will be better off without her and will be able to focus on his dreams of becoming a singer. Soon they become more than friends and on their first date, the fireflies light up, indicating to Nandini that Manik is indeed her true love. They decide to be friends and get to know one another. When Soha Khurana (Jasmine Avasia) enters as the obsessed fan of Manik, Nandini becomes close to Manik again, as she couldn't stand the thought of anyone else being with him.
