Once there was a king 14 April 2022: Bindu comes to taunt Rani, Meenu counters that Rani is lucky to get her love. A few girls have nothing else to do but to taunt the bride in their lover’s wedding. Bindu leaves. Rani asks Meenu why she did this to Bindu, then looks around for Raaj Mata.Raaj Mata sat with Bari Rani Maa, and inquires about her hand. Bari Rani Maa remember it being cut in her fight with Gayatri. Raaj Mata feels pity as she must really feel trouble while working with a single hand, then says she is old now and must go to some seclusion, she suggests her to go to mountains of Kasoli. Bari Rani Maa takes a leave.
Raja makes his way through the corridor to reach Rani. There, Raaj Mata calls Bari Rani Maa in the dance stage where they dance together. A lady comes in red cover, Rani was shocked to see Raja there. He kiss her check, and asks where she got his name written. Meenu then comes to take Rani to the stage. Rani dances, while Raja watches her in the female attire. He leaves winking at Rani. She looks around to find Raja, who was smiling towards her from behind a wall. She goes looking for him in the corridor, he comes to hold her hand from behind and kiss it. He pins her over the wall and comes closer to her, when he finds a lash hair over her hand. He shuts his eye to make a wish, Rani gets a chance to flee.
Rani and Bindu both dance on the dance stage. Bindu dislikes her swirls and mingles with her foot. Raja comes to save Rani in his arms. Everyone in the hall was shocked to see him, while Bindu gets even curter. Jeewan comes to Bindu in the corridor, and asks if she is jealous. Bindu says someone else would now be burnt. Rani begins crying that her hands are burning at once, Raja calls for water and tells her to wet her hands. Amrita was worried. Rani says after putting the henna on, her hands began to burn. Bindu wipes her tears remember how she bribed a maid to change Rani’s mehndi.
There, Amrita brings the henna bowl and says this henna is fine. Bindu recalls getting the henna bowl changed later. Kokilla taunts that this bride is really delicate, she washed her henna hands after a little burning. She says right now Rani is a princess by name, how will she become a real one after marriage. In royal houses, problems are as huge as their palaces, washing henna before drying is a bad omen. Raja insists Rani might have an allergy with henna, and these royal family taunts should now be stopped. Bari Rani Maa asks raja not to be angry today. Rani watches Bindu smirking. Raaj Mata stops Kokilla for replying her, Kokilla asks for whom? Raja Mata says for Gayatri, why she did this to Gayatri? Kokilla stammers she didn’t do anything.
Raaj Mata insists it’s a lie, the girl was trembling in pain, and then why she didn’t help her. Kokilla could only think about Gayatri Singh Dev being beaten badly by Kaal and turns to leave after apologizing Raaj Mata. Raaj Mata notices the necklace, and knows this is hers. Kokilla leaves the hall.In the room, Rani apologizes Raja while he was caressing her hands. She was worried about Amrita who must be hurt because of Kokilla words. Raja tells her that Amrita is mother, and when a child is in pain she can’t see anything else. There, Jeewan and Bindu watched them. Jeewan says he is at peace watching Rani in pain, but Bindu’s plan got ruined. Rani watches Bindu from the window.
Rani got lost in thoughts, then says that people consider a girls’s husband love her as much as her henna is darker. She insists that its important for a girl to get joint to her in laws as well, she wanted his name over her palm so that he could search for it. Raja watches the mark engraved over her arm, and kisses over it saying his name has already been written. Any ritual doesn’t make a relation incomplete, their love is bigger than any ritual. They join their foreheads.Bindu comes with Amrita and wants to put on an ointment over Rani’s hand. Rani says she will do it by herself. Bindu leaves complaining Raja that she only wanted to help.
Amrita tells Raja to drop Rani and Raaj Mata to their place.Raaj Mata insists on Kokilla to return whatever belongs to her, she wants her necklace back. Raja and Rani come there, Raja asks Raaj Mata to stare in his eyes and promises to get whatever is hers. People around gossip that poor people get crazy when they see expensive things, Raaj Mata counters she isn’t crazy. Raja takes her along. Bari Rani Maa cheers that Raja won’t be able to explain to people, once accepted as mad she will always be considered as crazy.
Raaj Mata insists on Rani and Raja that her husband brought that necklace from London, ever her name is engraved behind it. She tells Rani that two of its leaf even fell down when Rana ji (Rani’s father) was playing, she never left wearing it as it had valuable memories related to it. She cries that Kokilla stole that necklace. Raja promises to get that necklace back. Raaj Mata asks him to promise her he will get whatever is hers, he will punish those who snatched her territory, her belongings and most importantly her son. Raja promises that she will get everything back, beginning with her son. She has got her son back today.
At night, Rani was lost in words of people around. Raja comes there wondering why she is so tensed. Rani insists on Raja that he is royal and she is an ordinary girl, be it any time or place poor and rich are never equal. She was afraid what if their class differences interrupt between their loves. Raja insists that nothing than love matters. Rani insists that love is between people, and marriage is between families. Raja asks why Rani has a problem when his whole family agreed. Rani wonders why, Bari Rani Maa hates her still she agreed for this wedding, Kaal had issues with her and Jeewan’s wedding is now ready too and Jeewan came apologizing.
Raja asks her to go and sleep, they will speak about the matter tomorrow. Both return to each other saying sorry and hug one another. Raja says this was their last fight as lovers, other fights would again be among husband and wife. He promises no matter how severe a fight is, he will never leave her, in his anger. Rani promises to never let him go.In the room, Kokilla insists that Rani is the spark of Rana ji and Gayatri. She is afraid what if Raja gets to know about it. Raja hears this conversation from the corridor and comes inside, asking about the conversation. Bari Rani Maa makes up that it’s about Rani’s grandmother. Raja apologizes them from Rani and her Dadu, Dadu is ill but not mad, and she can’t hurt anyone pointless.
Bari Rani Maa sides Raja in that. Kokilla spits that she is used to listening this all from Raaj Mata already, Raja nods and turns to leave, then understands what Kokilla just said. He wonders why she calls Rani’s dadu as Raaj Mata. Kokilla was speechless this time, Bari Rani Maa tells Raja that Raaj Mata called herself as Raaj Mata so many times that Kokilla got used to it. Raja leaves thoughtfully, Bari Rani Maa warns Raja to do this again till this marriage.The next morning, Raaj Mata was praying. Rani comes ready, draped in bridal dress and wearing her jewelry.
Raaj Mata remember Gayatri in her face, Rani asks what she is thinking. Raaj Mata says she recalled Gayatri today. Kaal warns Bari Rani Maa to drag this matter, but end it right here. Bari Rani Maa says she is aware they need to treat Premvadha, but everything has a right time. Raja comes inside saying today is the right time. Raja asks Bari Rani Maa why Dadu gets disturbed whenever she comes here, as if she had been badly hurt here. Kaal considers it a lie, an illusion. Raja says he came to speak to them about his treatment.Raaj Mata can see Gayatri’s face in Rani, and drops the thaal. Jeewan holds it from falling off and tells Rani he came to pick her up.
Raja says they can’t leave Dadu alone, can she stay in the palace after marriage. He wants to take care of her and get her treated, may be her memory recalls after coming here. Bari Rani Maa allows him at once, and tells Raja that she is also concerned for her, she has already spoken to doctors and will get her treated by the best. Raja comes to hug Bari Rani Maa.Rani asks Jeewan if he came alone, she was reluctant. Raaj Mata asks her to trust her love. Jeewan asks Rani to go, Raja is waiting for her. Rani dislikes his stare. Jeewan goes to wait outside.
