Once there was a king 17 April: In the morning, Rani brings to tie around Raja’s neck. He asks what the matter is, she complains angrily that he is making up. He was really clueless and asks for water. She pouts the water on floor instead, then complains he was laughing with someone else and tells him to go and ask Lovey. She respected Bari Rani Maa’s demand, but she waited for him in the garden as well; he neither came nor apologized. Raja clarifies he didn’t go to Lovey, she came to him by herself. Rani argues it doesn’t matter, now she would do what she wants to.
Raja holds her behind saying now he would do what he wants, he tries to get intimate then leave Rani. Rani inquires Raja what is worrying him. Raja holds her hand making up that she is suspected him from the first day of their marriage. Raja’s towel fell on the floor, Rani laughs and asks him to look down. Raja was at once reserved and asks her to leave, hiding himself behind the chair. He requests her not to share this with anyone. Rani comes out of the room laughing, Amrita comes there and was happy to hear someone’s laughter in the palace. Raja walks out dressed up.
Bari Rani Maa watches them from behind the wall, she thinks Rani must laugh as much as she wants to. Her parents loved each other but could never live peacefully, same is going to happen with Rani. She will send Rani away from Raja.
Amrita hands the keys to Rani. Raja comes to the stairs, Rani laughs watching him while Amrita welcomed her. Kokilla comes asking how Rani would be able to take responsibility of the kitchen. Bari Rani Maa says she has postponed Brahman dinner today. Rani says a dinner can be postponed but rituals are followed, she will fulfil this ritual. Amrita was ready to help Rani, Bari Rani Maa warns her that no one can help the bride in this ritual. Rani takes the responsibility over herself.
Bari Rani Maa blesses her, she is just like her grandmother who never accepts defeat.There, Raja comes to Raaj Mata asking where she is going. Raaj Mata tells him that he told his mother and Rani left him till the door. Raja asks if she was leaving without only informing him. Rani comes from behind to ask Dadu how much rice she should take for fifty people. Raaj Mata asks if she would only cook a single dish, she must prepare noratan thaal, as people would judge her through the different tastes she has to serve. She advises Rani to taste every dish before serving. Rani comes to drop her outside.
Bari Rani Maa and Kokilla watched this, Bari Rani Maa thinks that Raaj Mata was there to support Gayatri but Rani is all alone. Small fights in the marriage make this relation weaker.Bindu comes outside, she greets Raja and Rani then asks him to drop her to Preeti’s place. Raja thinks that Rani was annoyed at him for no reason, now he will show her. He compliments her dress. Bindu offers Raaj Mata the seat behind, as she would be more comfortable on this seat. Rani felt curt that Raja couldn’t see her dress. She comes to kitchen annoyed that Raja didn’t even look towards her. She was determined to take his class once he return.
In the car, Bindu increases the volume of the music. Raja reminds that Dadu is ill, she must be hurt because of this high volume. In the kitchen, Jeewan comes to hold Rani’s hand. She thanks him as she can do her own work, she only know one thing that she is Raja’s wife. Jeewan smiles he only came to help her here.
Bindu asks Raja to turn into her old Dovey once again. Raja jerks her hand away saying he is no more her Dovey but only her Rani’s Raja. There, Rani was concerned if Raja had breakfast and pours a lot of water in the flour. She turns around to see Raja smiling at her from the door, and wonders if she is dreaming and turns around to work. Raja comes behind her, she was excited to see him here. He asks what is she doing, it seems he must have eaten outside watching the situation of kitchen.
Rani asks him to abide by Lovey and go away, he comes to hold Rani between his arms, then pours the water, holding her hands in kneeding of flour. Rani says Bari Rani maa instructed to complete this task alone, Raja says he had vowed to help his wife in every difficulty and love is greater than anything in the world. They play while kneeding the flour, Jeewan watches them. Rani turns to thank Raja for giving her courage, and hugs him. She was worried that he was so tensed, he behaved really awkward on the day of wedding. Raja at once recall his pains, and gets away from Rani.
Rani tastes the food after preparing, it tasted really bad. She hurries to Amrita to speak to her, Amrita asks her to bring the food as everyone is waiting her. Rani thinks that only Raja can now help her, and hurries towards him. In the corridor Raja was upset and watches Rani looking for someone in an upset mood. He hear Bindu crying on a side. Rani comes to Meenu and asks her to send Raja to the kitchen as soon as possible. Bari Rani Maa comes her way but Pandit was calling her. She asks Rani to go and get the food.
Raja asks Bindu what happened, he just forbid her call Dovey from today. Meenu tells Raja that Rani is calling him and is waiting in kitchen. Raja goes towards her. Bindu wipes her tears.
In the kitchen, Jeewan insists on Rani to tell what the matter is. Rani was crying and only wanted to speak to Raja. Jeewan insists, Rani finally shares that all this food has been ruined, its bitter. Jeewan calms her down, Raja comes there and watches Jeewan’s hand over Rani’s shoulder and leaves curtly.In the hall, the Pandit’s begin the food. Bari Rani Maa awaited Rani’s disgrace. Jeewan asks Rani not to take tension, no one would come to know she hasn’t cooked this food.
Rani was upset that at least she is aware. Bari Rani Maa and Bindu were curt watching the Pandit’s eat. Kaal calls her asking Bari Rani Maa to present her with a gift. Bari Rani Maa asks how she did so, she thought studying females can never cook. Rani apologizes Bari Rani Maa for not being able to accept the Shagun. She joins hands in front of everyone as she couldn’t fulfil this ritual, Jeewan stops her. Rani accepts she didn’t cook this food. The Pandits get angry, Amrita asks what this is, and she herself saw Rani cook. Rani accepts that she might have mistaken and the food went bitter. Jeewan helped her by getting food from a nearby temple, and was ready to be punished.
Amrita takes a ring off her hand, and appreciates Rani’s act. She announces that everyone can cook, but it’s someone’s luck to get a daughter in law who accepts the worth of truth. Pandit also appreciates Rani, calling Rani really precious. Rani turns to thank Jeewan. Amrita asks Raja to take blessings from Pandit along with Rani. Raja was curt at Rani and leaves. Bindu follows him, Rani comes from behind and follow him to the room with food. She sits beside him saying one must not pour anger over food. It was her first day in kitchen, how it is possible her husband doesn’t eat. Raja jerks the bite, she offers another determined to know the reason of his anger. She explains she was helpless, Jeewan was there in front of her.
Raja jerks the hand again, Rani offers another as food shouldn’t be disgraced. Raja finally takes a bite. He then tells him to ask him for any help, he is her husband and she is his responsibility. Rani says she was looking for him but couldn’t find him, she doesn’t know what she did that he is so angry. He doesn’t talk to her, and avoid getting close to her. He left her to speak to Bindu. Raja stands up clarifying she herself came to him. Rani takes the bite herself this time saying she also didn’t call Jeewan, he came by himself. A maid comes to call Rani downstairs. Raja takes the plate of food.
During the Pooja, Amrita gives Rani a sword to break the coconut, if a coconut breaks in two equal halves the spouse’s relations remain balanced. Bari Rani Maa and Kokilla weren’t sure Rani can do this, Amrita was sure that lower is really powerful, and her daughter in law can face any problem for her love. Rani takes the sword, she shuts her eyes to mark the coconut. It breaks in two halves in the first strike. Rani was elated, Amrita says she couldn’t have got a daughter in law like her. Pandit comes to the hall, announcing tonight is a good time for wedding night.
