Sirat in Rajan Shahi's 'Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai' has lost her husband, but nobody in Ranveer's family seems to care about it. In fact, Ranveer's mother accuses Sirat of killing her son and even drags Kartik's name in it saying it's because of their evil intentions that Ranveer is no more. Ranveer's mother slaps Sirat and asks her to get out of the house. Kartik asks Sirat to come with him because he feels she will have to go through all this alone and no one will ever understand her.

Meanwhile, Narendranath has hired a lawyer who tells him that though Ranveer died because of the poison that spread in his body from the bullet, nobody knows about it and Narendranath plans to take advantage of it. He frames Kartik and Sirat for killing his son.
