Eventually, Ambar and Dhaani get married with the blessing of their elders. But at the time of bidaai, after learning that her mother belongs to a lower caste, Dhaani's father-in-law refuses to accept her into his family. Unfortunately, Dhaani sacrifices her love and Amber and Sarla are married due to Dhaani's threatening to Amber of killing herself.
Soon, on Ambika's condition, Dhaani is forced to move into the Raghuvanshi house as Sakhi, the maid, in order to save Sarla. Slowly, Sarla and Dhaani begin sharing a healthy bond of friendship. Dhaani helps the immature Sarla to become a better daughter-in-law in the Raghuvanshi household. Dhaani continues to live as a maid for a while, but is happy with Ambandr and Sarla’s company.

Reception[edit]
The Indian Express stated the show as an average one reviewing, "Sajan Ghar Jana Hai, though has a fresh cast, yet it fails when it comes to weaving an engrossing tale. At times, the goings-on in the show are not engrossing. Also, what mars the show is its slow pace. Some fine editing should do the trick! Kunal Bhatia performs in a restrained manner. Neha Saxena despite having a pretty screen presence fails to look believable in her role."[11]
