Once there was a king 24 March 2022: Raja dances with Bindu, while Rani angrily watch them. He drags Rani into dancing, she turns to leave as Bindu tries to divert his attention off Rani, and still Raja doesn’t let Rani leave the stage. Jeewan comes behind Bindu to tease her, as Raja and Rani Dance with each other. Raja leaves Rani’s hand with a jerk, she fell on the floor. Meenu comes to hold her, calling her as Gayatri! Raja turns around asking if she is the topper, meaning from the top to bottom. Bindu comes calling for the real fun. Raja announces for the fresher that dancing was side order, main course is freshers.
One of the fellows announces that no one should leave the hall until the ragging ends. Bindu and Raja head to choose their teams, Raja chose Rani while Bindu choose Devika. Both Raja and Bindu confront each other. One of the boys ask Gayatri’s team if they have seen Mughal e Azam, he explains Sir is Mughal e Azam and they all are Anarkali, they should bend to greet Sir. Everyone except Rani does. Raja comes to Rani asking if she couldn’t hear. Bindu appears from behind and orders her to bend, as Ravi said. Raja tells her Rani is studying her on scholarship. Bindu boasts if their money? Raja says great, she came to Royal’s college and copied their ego firstly, but how would she copy their lineage? An ordinary girl can never fit here, they make fun of her.
Bindu says she even dislike watching girls like her, she wear cheap clothes and has a cheap mentality, who runs after rich boys as soon as they watch them. Everyone there makes fun of poors, they all laugh. One of the boys say she must be cursing him because they took a treat from such a poor girl. Raja boasts what can such people even do except cursing. Rani’s eyes fill in tear. Raja heads to wipe her tears, she jerks his hand away. He holds her hand tight, and says she is enraged, but what she can do about it. Jeewan finally speaks, she cannot do anything but to drink her anger. They don’t know anything but to eat, they only take scholarships and come to college; this college now seems to be refugee camp.
Raja says poors can’t afford anything, especially attitude. She must wash it away, if there is some water in her house. If she wondered he would take treat from her, she can’t give someone anything. He takes a bunch of money from his pocket, but demands Rani to bend down and take it, throwing it over her face. He says that a girl like her can do anything for money, her attitude and innocent would all fade away in front of some money. And if he throw some more amount she would get ready to share a room with him even. Rani slaps him on face.
A guard announces that the principal is here, Raja shouts at everyone to run away. Meenu takes Rani as the vice principal is here. Raja holds her back, she tries to withdraw her hand but he says no one ever looked in Rajveer’s eyes for so long. Rani says there is always a first time. Raja says right, if VP watch them together alone in this room, what will happen then. Rani says they will tell all the truth to him. Raja says he will tell him she send her friend with money to meet him here, alone. The vice principal comes in. Rani says there was nothing like this. Raja says only they know about it, not that vice principal. The whole college would second him, everyone would be his witness that she called him here.
Rani jerks his hand away, while he hold it tightly. Raja warns there will be an inquiry, when her parents would know their topper daughter meet boys alone at night how they would feel. Rani asks him to keep his enmity with her only, and leave her hand. He touch her hair strand, still holding her hand tight. Rani demands him again to leave her hand, he finally let go of it. She runs behind. The vice principal was in the corridor, the door had been locked. Rani hides herself under a table. Raja toss a coin to hit the bulb and break it. The vice principal calls who is there, Raja was reading a novel, he replies he is here.
He boasts about reading aloud, the VP hands him the book right. He know well there was a party going on here. Raja says everyone know about everything, who went to have a coffee in Chemistry’s Miss Poonam yesterday and took her on a movie last week. He prevents the VP go towards the table Rani was hidden beneath, and bid him a good bye.Rani was upset in her room, about whatever Raja said to her. She wipes her tears and tells Meenu to keep the window open, a closed w indow suffocates her. Meenu assures if she is fine? Rani nods, she lay in the bed thinking she doesn’t have to fall weak.
The next morning, in the class Meenu shares her worry with Deepika about what will happen today as yesterday Sir had been slapped. Rani enters the class, Bindu keep a foot on the table to stop her way, she warn Rani if she even look towards her Raja she would snatch her face? Rani says she didn’t know she was Sir’s bodyguard, he if is slapped often that he kept a body guard. The teacher, Miss Poonam Gupta comes in. She says that there country has been independent for fifteen years now, has this democracy been fruitful, she chooses Rani to speak about it. Rani says the country got independent, but people will still take time to get independent. A few are dependent on their inheritance, a few on their liabilities.
Raja comes taunting, people must consider their rights and responsibilities equally. Raja taunts at Gayatri that people take charity from others, climb up and doesn’t consider it at all. Gayatri argues that poor work hard to earn for their living, slaves are the ones who live on their parent’s money. Raja points a finger at her, Rani asks if it pinches at him. The class gets over, Bindu asks if she has so many problems with rich why she came here? Rani says she came here on scholarship, she doesn’t have enough time to argue with them. Bindu asks Raja why he let her go. Raja says he didn’t hold her yet.
Meenu and another class mates appreciate Gayatri outside the class. A peon comes to call Gayatri as the VP has called her in a room. There was no one in the room, Raja and others come outside to shut the door. Everyone gather around, Bindu enjoys it calling Raja being funny. Rani coughs in suffocation, Meenu requests Raja to open the door as she suffocates in closed door. Bindu warns her to speak to Raja. Jeewan comes there happily, Bindu inquires why he is so happy. Jeewan shows frogs in a box and enjoys Rani being feared by them. He let them in from a hole. Rani climbs up the bench afraid of the creatures as they jump around the floor.
Raja who had been enjoying recalls shutting Rani in a room in childhood, he opens the door at once. Bindu asks him to let her in for a while, Raja says he wants to make her afraid not kill her. He opens the door, Rani clutches her coat. He holds her tight. She looks towards him and pushes him behind, she move ahead to fell on the floor. Everyone around make fun of her. Raja calls her down to earth, kneels beside her and says she is always lying on floor. Rani helps herself up. Raja says today he taught her the most important rule of this college, not to mess with him. He is the king here, deers can only live when they fear lions, he hopes she doesn’t remember this lesson and he would get another chance to teach her. They all leave. Rani hurries outside.
Rani comes to Principal’s office, and introduces herself. He offers her a seat. Rani says she came with a complaint about Raja, how can someone be this disgraceful. The principal recognizes it must be Raja. The Principal tells Rani that no one ever complaint against Raja in front of his father, if anyone does this he can call him today and Rajveer will suspend today. Rani was determined to complaint against Rajveer. The principal assures that he will call Rani when Rajveer’s father arrive.
Kaal was walking inside the college, his dress gets ruined by a bird. A boy there inform Raja that his father is going towards VP’s office and he is also called there.
Raja meets Rani in the corridor and asks if he was called here because of her. Rani inquires he thought she would spare him so easily. Raja boasts when an ant confronts an elephant she is pissed off. Rani asks him to remember when the same ant gets into his trunk the elephant fell off. The VP gives a seat to Kaal. The peon comes to call them inside and sends Raja first. Raja warns Rani not to make her hostel life difficult for her. The Principal tells Kaal they must take an action against Raaj, now he can’t bear his misbehaviour anymore. Raja comes inside, the VP says he is talking about Raja’s misbehavior with a girl last night. Raja calls Rani by himself and rings a bell to peon. Raja’s friend kidnap Rani from behind, Raja beats his legs in front of Kaal who stares at him.
The peon comes back and tells VP that girl is nowhere, Raja suggests about checking in ladies toilet. Kaal scolds Principal to waste his time, he leaves confronting Raja.
