Once there was a king 5 march 2022:Rajeshwari comes to Bari Rani Maa and accuses her of giving her wine firstly, then made that Savitri serve God. Bari Rani Maa says it seems she is drunk again. Rajeshwari watches the sword on Bari Rani Maa’s neck. She warns Bari Rani Maa of telling the truth to Rana ji. Bari Rani Maa says once two men go on boat. One of them was angry at the other and in order to kill the other, he made a hole on the boat. Resultantly he himself drowned as well. Rajeshwari leaves. Bari Rani Maa thinks that until Rana ji falls in love with her, no one will know Gayatri is hidden behind Savitri.
She comes to Savitri, Savitri asks why is she crying? Bari Rani Maa says she remembered Gayatri today watching her pray with Rana ji, she reminds her of Gayatri. Gayatri only opened her fast when everyone had got the Prasad. Savitri asks why she wants to match soil with diamond. Bari Rani Maa says she knows how precious she is, it was proven in the temple today. In the temples, only miracles happen; it was miracle that even presence of Rani, Rana ji prayed with her. Savitri says she is a maid, maids have a place near feet. Bari Rani Maa says Gayatri was a daughter of simple family, Rana ji married and loved her.
Savitri asks why he would love her. Bari Rani Maa says she has become special for her, because of her simplicity. Bari Rani Maa assures that she is always with her.
Kokilla dreams about Laksh and his death. She wakes up and asks Laksh to apologize her, she couldn’t stop his insult in his life. Now he is no more, but those who insulted him are alive, Swarna and Lakhan. She takes a knife from bed side and goes out.
Lakhan watches the moon from window, he wonders where Swarna is, how she may be. Gayatri said she will be fine, but he wonders if that is so. He watches Kokilla watching in the corridor and wonders if she is going to Swarna this late. He follows her. Kokilla feels someone’s presence behind but Lakhan hides himself.
Savitri serves Rana ji, Bari Rani Maa stops him from beginning. She says that he must break the fast with the one he did pooja with. Rana ji says she is right and calls Savitri to sit. Savitri says she is fine. Rana ji comes to hold her hand and offers her sit. She sits down on floor. She remembers her past as Rana ji puts a spoonful in her mouth. She had tears in her eyes when she does so. He asks why she is crying. She says she is really happy today, he gave her respect. She will never forget this day. Rana ji says he doesn’t remember he likes this lovely food so much. Savitri murmurs she also didn’t remember. She asks him to taste Almond Halva made by her, it will remind him of someone his owns. She goes to get is.
Swarna sat on floor, thinking about Lakhan’s words that they won’t let her live freely. Swarna thinks how she can forget her husband’s death so soon. But the other heart asks her to live her life now that she never did. She feels nauseatic at once, then says she is expecting a child. Lakhan looks around where Kokilla went. Swarna says she wants to tell Kokilla about something really important but Kokilla grabs her by hair, stuffs her mouth with a cloth and drags her out. Lakhan goes to check the other way, when he hears something break in the corridor. He finds beads on floor.
Kokilla brings Swarna to a corner and attacks her with a knife. Swarna runs for her life. Kokilla says Laksh is dead but his mother will now take his justice.
She killed him by her curses. Swarna insists on her to listen to her, Kokilla says that now she will shout the way Laksh did at the time of death. Swarna says she is expecting. Lakhan followed the beads, he and Kokilla were equally shocked. Swarna gets on her feet, she requests Kokilla not to kill her. Kokilla holds her up, she says when her son was counting his last breathes she was spending time with her lover. Swarna still pleads her not to be so cruel. Kokilla says that after Laksh’s death she will also kill this heir along with her. Lakhan holds her hand this time. He asks her to drop the knife. Kokilla warns him to come between them. Lakhan says a father gives alms on the news of fatherhood.
Today he gives her life as alms, but remember it isn’t given every time. He warns her to keep an eye on her child again, clutches Swarna’s hand and leaves.
Bari Rani maa says to Rana ji she likes this girl. If a princess gets a chance to eat with him she would feel proud, but this girl is really simple. Rana ji says Savitri is really different, she is a fast learner as well. Bari Rani Maa says she has taken great care of him, he must also do something for her. He can see her smile, but she has heard her sadness as well. It seems she is sad from inside, she thinks if he does something for her she will feel better. Rana ji thinks he will do something for her. Bari Rani Maa thinks when Rana ji will come close to Gayatri she won’t be able to back up.
Lakhan holds Swarna in his arms. Gayatri was worried and asks what happened to her. Lakhan says he had warned her, if he didn’t reach Kokilla must have murdered her and their child. He tells Gayatri about their relation, she wanted to leave the palace but luck turned the game and Laksh died. He says he will no longer stay quiet, he will take it from here today. Gayatri stops him, at this time she needs treatment and care, else her and her child’s life will be endangered. They must think for a way that she can stay here safe from Kokilla. She promise the unconscious Swarna that she will find a way for her.
The next morning, Savitri buys almonds and asks if he knows for whom she is going to make Halwa.
She thinks about making Gond’s laddu as well for Swarna and her child to be. she hits a lady in the market, it was her mother. Savitri curses her. Maa was shocked to see her as she curses herself in Savitri’s language, Maa calls Gayatri! Savitri was shocked, she turns to her then leaves hiding her face. Maa asks for a Gol gappa urgently and eats it. She gets a cough, Gayatri comes to her unknowingly. It was Maa’s tactic. Maa runs behind her as she runs in the market. Rana ji was also in the same market, shopping for some clothes and selects one.Maa follows Gayatri in the palace, Bari Rani maa comes there. Maa asks Savitri why she has been running, what happened. Savitri takes Maa aside.
Bari Rani maa thinks there is no one here. inside the room, Maa and Gayatri hug each other. Maa cries that she knew Gayatri was alive, she asks what the need to get this avatar was. Gayatri says this is to protect her husband, there are plannings in the palace. Their enemies wanted to kill them both and narrates all the events on the cliff. She came to know she had been so ill that she couldn’t come to her last rituals. Maa was clueless about it. Gayatri was shocked when Maa says she never send a man. Her hope hadn’t broken and knew she was alive. Gayatri says Bari Rani maa said so. Maa says she never came to meet her.
Raaj Mata wonders why would Bari Rani maa lie. Gayatri says she is so confused, until today she thought Bari Rani Maa was the only one sincere to Rana ji.
Raaj mata says she doesn’t trust Bari Rani maa, she asks if Bari Rani Maa suspects her to be Gayatri? Gayatri says this isn’t possible, she never watched her so intently but she had fired on her. Gayatri tells Bari Rani Maa he is upset for Lakshraj’s death, she tried to bring her and Rana ji closer and narrates all the events. Raaj Mata says there is something wrong, Bari Rani Maa can’t change so many colors. If she is behind this all. Gayatri asks why she would take care of Rana ji if she wants to hurt him, only she is able to make him calm whenever Rana ji is in pain. Raaj Mata asks her to be careful, she lied to her about her mother. Gayatri says she needs more proofs before getting to any decision, she will follow Bari Rani Maa as a shadow and bring the truth to front.
Swarna wakes up as someone enters the room with a knife in hand. She cries no. it was a day dream, Lakhan comes to her and assures she isn’t alone now. Swarna asks him to go now. Lakhan says when he is here, no one can touch a single strand of her hair. She will stay in this palace, no one will even think about hurting her; this is promise of Lakhan. He asks her to take care of herself and their child.
Savitri offers Halwa to Kunwar ji. He asks what is such a happiness. Savitri says Swarna is expecting. The bite sticks in Kunwar ji’s throat. Bari Rani maa asks how she knows about it. Savitri says she had noticed Swarna wasn’t well.
Kunwar ji says it can be something else, but Savitri says she can never be wrong. Swarna comes there, Rana ji congratulates her and promises to take care of her and the child. Kunwar ji says it is his responsibility as well, due to this good news she got a reason to live now. Bari Rani maa also shows her happiness and goes to congratulate Swarna promising to keep Goad bharai soon. She goes to thank in the temple, puts an eye on Lakhan and goes inside. Swarna stops Savitri and says thanks to her. Savitri says she did this as a maid, she must be appreciated. Swarna says knowing their relation’s truth, she sided her; she is lucky to have a sister like her. Savitri thinks she is unlucky not being able to tell her the truth, hands her the bowl to eat.
Bari rani maa stood in front of Baray Rana ji’s photo. When he was a prince he used to tell her that she and her son are a burden on palace, she thought her son would never get the throne of Amirkot. Now, this all will be theirs. Rana ji has lost his memory, he is puppet in her hands. Gayatri has returned but doesn’t know she ruined her life. And Swarna’s womb carries their heir now. Amirkot’s history has changed, now here in place of Rana ji’s photo there will be Kunwar ji’s photo. She takes Rana ji’s photo off the wall. Savitri watched this and wonders why Bari Rani maa removed Rana ji’s photo.
