Dia and Uday are horrified by hearing their Morena cousins are going to join their college. They do everything in their power to make the sisters go back but all fails.

This eventually introduces Samrat (college basketball star) and his best friend Benji. Samrat later becomes best friends with Mayank after a while of them not getting along. Mayank is a silent but strong-willed student who prefers to focus on his studies, whereas Samrat is the playboy of the college. Mayank and Nupur start to fall in love after a series of misadventures. Gunjan and Samrat become best friends and eventually Gunjan falls in love with Samrat but is unable to express her love because he only thinks of Gunjan to be his best friend. Samrat realizes he is in love with Gunjan and wants to get his love but, Gunjun, thinking she told Samrat of all her feeling and he didn't feel the same, and decides to go home with Nupur for their cousin's wedding. Nupur is meanwhile upset that Mayank doesn't want to make their relationship public and convinces Gunjan they should leave for Morena sooner.

After the sisters leave, the gang feels very lonely and pursues them. Samrat left Mumbai with one goal, to tell Gunjan about his love, and Mayank, to win his Nupur back. Mayank enters pretending to be Nupur's childhood friend, who her family wants her to marry while Samrat comes with Benji as Dia and Uday's friends.
