A few days later, Preeti and Minty settle down in the village so as to find the truth of the death of Inder. Aditya (Ahwaan Kumar), Namrata's brother is attracted to Preeti. But Preeti does not like anyone in the village as she holds everyone responsible for the death of her husband. Nandu gets shocked by seeing Preeti. It is revealed that Nandu is actually Rahul and Inder's younger brother. He did not tell anyone in his family that he has come to the village. Rahul tries to hide himself but Preeti notices him. Preeti asks him that why he has come here and the same question is asked by Rahul at the same time. Both give the same answer. Rahul and Preeti want to know that what happens at night in the temple and they doubt that a human being itself is behind all the murders. However, Namrata and Aditya also come to know about the real identity of Rahul/Nandu. They promise that they will never reveal the truth of Rahul. One night, Rahul sees the village"s priest and some other men taking police Akshay body to the forest and lie it down near a tree. After that, they put fire and in a moment everything disappeared. Rahul was shocked and started doubting the priest. The next morning, Rahul the police and gets Gauri's father arrested.

Gauri, who is shattered, is consoled by Rahul.

Later on, everyone comes to know about the true identity of Rahul and they had started hating him. Gauri who was heartbroken had stopped talking to Rahul. But with time, she realised that Rahul did that only for his brother and she re-started talking to Rahul. Gauri starts loving Rahul and she told his father about that. Namrata also starts loving Rahul and told Aditya about this. Rahul liked and had some feelings for Namrata and considered Gauri as his best friend.

After some time it was revealed that the mystery behind all the murders was Namrata. However, Aditya got to know about this and was killed by his sister Namrata. The same day , before going to the underground, Aditya had warned Rahul that Data Thakur has sent Laakhan Paal and the other goons to kill Rahul. Although knowing that, Rahul didn't care about this and wanted to go to the underground to find Preeti and the others. Aditya tried to convince him to not go there but in vain. So, Aditya told him to hide at a safe place and he'll go there instead. Rahul agreed and told him the way. Adiya went there. Meanwhile, Rahul got a phone call from Gauri and she told him that where he is and told him to stay there and wait for her to come. A few minutes later, Gauri came and told Rahul that while she was praying to lord Kaalbhairav, she dreamt that Aditya is killing Preeti. As all the dreams that Gauri dreams nowadays start becoming true Rahul started getting tense and told Gauri that he has told Aditya the way to go to the underground. At the same time, they hear the sound of a jeep and it was the jeep of Lakhan Paal. Rahul and Gauri started running by holding each other's hand and Lakhan Paal and the others also ran behind them. Suddenly, Rahul knocked down by a rock.

Gauri is getting messages from the real lord Kaalbhairav in her dreams and some of the dreams that she has started dreaming is becoming true.

Dada Thakur also comes to know about the true colours of Namrata but Namrata comes to know about that and she gave him an injection at his neck and he started feeling dizzy. But still, he strangled Namrata and lifted her in the air. But at the same time, Namrata's men hit Dada Thakur with a pulp of wood at his back of his neck and Data Thakur started getting dizzier and he could not continue to lift Namrata in the air so, he let his hand down and immediately, Namrata stood on her heels. Again, Data Thakur tried to strangle her but when he was about to do that, his hands were shaking and Namrata grabbed his hand and pushed him down. This is because she had put a paralysis injection to him. Then she opens the next mystery that she is just doing these for Rahul's love and all the papers and the voice changer's voice is in Data Thakur's name and other villagers will believe that this is done by him only.

Season 2 |Kaal Bhairav Ek Naya Rahasya

This story is based on the spiritual thriller by the famous Tamil writer Indira Soundarrajan, "Kottai Purathu Veedu" (translated as The Palace of Kottaipuram) which was also made into a successful daily soap under the same name in 1990

The story begins in the year 1868, with a woman named Lali (Anjali Abrol) carrying her child, trying to run away from a king and his guards. She seeks shelter in Kaal Bhairav temple but is unfortunately caught by the king. He kills her son and rapes her. The villagers reach the temple but the king had already stabbed her by then. Lali curses the evil king that all his future successors will die before celebrating their 30th birthday & his lineage will come to an end. Before dying, Lali says she is a devotee of Kaal Bhairav who would certainly fulfill her curse.

The story then shifts to the current time. Veervardhan/Veer (Gautam Rode) is a future descendant of the evil king. Living happily in Bhopal, away from the cursed Kanakgarh palace, he proposes his friend, Archie (Aditi Gupta) for wedding but on receiving a call from his elder brother, Yashvardhan (Siddhant Karnick), Veer is reminded of the curse & the short time he would possibly have on earth. He hallucinates to be tormented by Kaal Bhairav himself before being rescued by his friend, Kedar. On Yashvardhan's 30th birth anniversary, Veer goes back to the palace only to find that his brother is missing. It is then revealed that Yashvardhan was hiding in a vault to survive the curse long enough for it to pass. However, there are still a few hours to go before he attains 30 years of age as he comes out of hiding, prematurely celebrating the end of the curse. Later Rajguru (Aayam Mehta) arrives and informs Rajmata (Vineeta Malik) that ill omens hadn't passed yet and he did not send the drummers for celebrations. They go to the temple where ceremony is being organised. Worshipping inside the shrine alone, Yashvardhan comes out, stabbed in the back by a trident & eventually dies, succumbing to injuries, thereby keeping the curse alive.
