On 20 June 2009, the show took a 10-year leap. Both Ichcha and Tapasya turned into adult. But Tapasya’s attitude did not changed; she still had hatred against Ichcha in spite of Ichcha’s true love and affection for her.

A new character Veer, a handsome and wealthy young man was introduced in to the show. Veer came to propose Tapasys as per the will of his family but Tapasya was not interested as she was involved with his boyfriend Sid. Veer was then attracted to Ichcha by her pleasant beauty and simplicity. Both the family agreed for the marriage of Veer and Ichcha. When Tapasya realized that Ichcha was going to be the wife of such a rich man she changed her mind and decided to marry Veer. She compelled Ichcha to give her the wedding cloths by emotionally blackmailing her. As per the custom of Hindu marriage of India the face of both bride and bridegroom are covered during the ceremony, Tapasys was succeeded in her plan. She managed to sell the story that Ichcha denied to marry Veer at the last moment and she had done this to save the prestige of both the family. The story was well digested by everybody except Veer; he did not accept Tapasya and declared that he would divorce her and Marry Ichcha. But Ichcha accepted it as her destiny and decided not do anything by which her sister would be unhappy.

By this time another new character was introduced in to the show. Vansh, a drug addict and the elder brother of Veer came closer to Ichcha when he was being treated in a recovery center. Ichcha was coming regularly at that hospital to see one of her student who was also a drug addict and being treated there. Vansh and Paras, the student of Ichcha was good friends in spite of their age difference. Ichcha requested Vansh to look after Paras during her absence in the hospital and Vansh accepted that responsibility gladly although he could save Paras when he died by over dozing of drug.

When Tapasya came to know that Vansh was attracted to Ichcha, she managed to convince both the family and let the marriage of Vansh and Ichcha happen so that she would get acceptance of Veer.  Till date Tapasya have not succeeded to be accepted by Veer.

Dadaji Naman Mishra Viewer’s Opinion This Indian TV serial Uttaran has everything like drama, emotion, suspense, conspiracy and entertainment which are required for popularizing a show and the producers have succeeded in that also. But still a lot of sensible viewers have shown their distress due to the prolonged success of the negative characters.  According to them it sends wrong signal to the society.
