Once there was a king 7 June 2022: Naina comes to Raja and was happy calling the photos as best from her life. She says there is someone else as well who loves her dearly. Raja looks over the photos again, Rani wasn’t there in the window now. He thinks if that was only an illusion. Naina takes his attention, complaining why he is lost in someone else’s thoughts. Raja goes inside.In the rest house, Raja wonders why he feels Rani is there somewhere around. He feels a presence around him and follows the cat’s paws to a room. The doors behind him gets locked, he turns over Rani’s call. Rani comes to him and says yes she is dead, leaving the body was easy but leaving Raja was really tough.
She reminds him about their love for each other. He has broken his promise of loving her beyong life. Raja could touch her body as he keeps a hand over her shoulders. He was shocked, Rani complains he doesn’t like touching Rani anymore. Naina had changed him overnight. She says Raja betrayed her, their love and her memories. Raja asks if this isn’t what she wanted. Rani asks if he can really love someone other than her, their love can’t be as weak as to be limited by life or death. She holds Raja’s hands promising to be with each other forever. Naina comes calling Raja. Raja leaves Rani’s hand and goes outside.
Rani appears on Raja’s front and asks him to leave Naina. Raja justifies he married Naina, she is his wife. A tear fell off Rani’s eyes as she insists she is his only wife, and would always be in his life. She asks him to leave Naina else… Raja was worried at once. There was a dust storm all around, the useable begin to float in the air.Naina calls Raja’s name across the corridor.Raja tries to unlock the door. Outside, Naina screams. Rani asks Raja if he is really worried for Naina, he knows well that she can’t see him worried. She was ready to get him rid of all his worries and unlocks the door.
Naina had screamed watching Govind. She asks him about Raja, Govind denies and walks the other way. Raja asks Govind about Naina, Govind says she was just here. He must take care of her in such a place.Rani walks hand in hand with Raja and lights the candles with a blink of her eyes. She moves her hand and the room was dark. Raja asks what this all is, Rani says they had married as well. They dreamed together. Now, she has got a chance to celebrate honeymoon with him, after all this is also a new life. She tries to get intimate with Raja but Raja pushes her away. The lights begin to blink as Rani fumes of anger. A candle fell over.
Raja asks rani to try and understand the situation, he was worried about Naina. Rani asks if she doesn’t belong to Raja, that he is only concerned for Naina all day long. Raja was hurt as he hits the side of a table. Rani moves to him concerned. Raja says he is fine, Rani stops by saying she isn’t fine. He has nothing for her in his heart, and asks if their love has died as well along with her. Raja replies he can die by himself, but their love would always be there. Rani hugs Raja, and asks why he is moving away from her. Raja says he now loves Naina as well.
Outside in the corridor, Naina wonders why she feels Raja is calling her name. She thinks about going to the bed room.
In the bed room, Rani Fumes again hearing Naina’s name. She tells Raja that Naina must pay for hurting her.Outside, Naina hears Raja’s call. Rani leaves the room. Raja stops her saying there is broken mirror. Naina couldn’t see anything. Raja announces they are returning to Mumbai. Naina asks why are they leaving so soon, but Raja wasn’t in a mood to reply Naina.
In the car, Raja looks on the back seat repeatedly. Naina also looks behind, wondering what he fears for. Raja says he has been unable to get rid of her past, no matter how much he tries.
He apologizes Naina, as he couldn’t bear this place anymore. Naina asks why, he himself took her there. Raja feels dizzy at once, he could hear a voice from the recorder.Rani placed a hand over his shoulder and asks him for a reply. Raja loses the balance of his car. Naina asks what has happened, it seems he has seen some ghost. Rani was on the back seat of the car and tells Raja that his wife cannot see her until she wish to. She asks Raja to tell Naina she is right. Raja scolds Naina to stop inquiring pointlessly. Rani urges Raja to ask what she wants to hear. Rani’s eyes redden at once, Raja tries to stop the car but the car goes out of control. Naina was afraid. Rani tells Raja to say it, Raja finally accepts he is repenting. Rani smiles and leaves. The car comes to stop.
Raaj Mata asks Raja why they returned so soon. Naina was upset and runs into the room. Raaj Mata leaves behind her concerned. Raja enters the room and fell off the carpet. Rani comes to hold him. He doesn’t take her hand and questions why she turned to an evil, the Rani he loved was true and innocent. Rani says she is still the same, Raja is the reason for what she is doing. Raja says he didn’t betray her, she died and wanted him to move on in life. He could never think she would come back. Rani says her love had the strength to stop her, when she has stayed Naina must leave his life. Raja says his Rani knows about the value of promises taken during marriage.
Rani says Raja doesn’t value those promises, and married Naina within 7 days. Now she would not let Naina stay here and vanishes. Raja was left in shock.
Naina cried in the room complaining about Raaj Mata. Raaj Mata says no one can forget Rani, she assures Raja is ready for this relation. He needs sometime. If Naina loves Raja she must never accept this defeat. Naina was determined to give Raja as much love as to make her forget about his past. Raaj Mata hugs Naina. The water in front of Naina turns red.
At night, someone removes the blanket off Naina. Naina wakes up asking if its Raja, then notices Raja was asleep.
She lay close to Raja to sleep again. The blanket comes off Naina again, she was dragged down the floor screaming. Raja wakes up to save Naina. Naina was pushed towards the wall, her head banged with the wall and hurt. Raaj Mata wakes up hearing Raja’s voice. Rani appears to Raja and says only Raja is responsible for this all, she must remove Naina off his heart. She will torture Naina daily in front of Raja, Naina must leave the world for taking her place. Raaj Mata enters the room, Rani had vanished. Raja asks Raaj Mata to stop her, but couldn’t explain whom. Raaj Mata bandages Naina’s head.
Raja stood in the temple. Raaj Mata comes to him and asks how Naina fell down, she doesn’t remember anything. Raja says she fell off the bed. Raaj Mata asks if someone pushed her off the bed. Raja asks who would, and asks if she is accusing him of hurting Naina; he promises he would never hurt Naina. Raaj Mata says someone else can hurt Naina, she has witnessed much in life. She says only Raja and Naina had left but someone else has returned back. Raja says it’s Rani, she has returned. Raaj Mata was stunned. Raja shares with her about Rani. He cries he cannot understand anything, this isn’t his Rani.
Rani has changed, she is angry and thinks if he has betrayed her. Naina entered his life, but he had never forgotten her; he wonders what he must do. Raaj Mata says love hurts and it’s the pain that doesn’t let Rani’s soul get peace. She says there is only a Maa Vindia Vasi who can help them through this. She promises to bring her soon and tells Raja to take care of Naina.
Raja comes to the room, Naina wasn’t there inside. He calls for her name and runs across the house. Mummy was also looking for him. Rekha tells Mummy Naina is an expert in playing hide and seek. Raja goes outside to look for Naina.
In the steam room, Rani tries to get outside calling Raja’s name. Raja runs to follow the call. He calls Rani to come forward joining his hands. Rani comes to hold his hands, concerned. She says this doesn’t suit Raja. Raja says this isn’t the palace anymore, she liked how Raja called her. She reminds Raja about her promise to kill Naina.
Raja asks Rani about his wife. The lights blink again, Rani insists his wife is here in front of him. Raja requests Rani not to do this, the Rani he loved can never take someone’s life. Rani disappears, then appears in his paintings reading a riddle in poetic way. She comes to him again and asks if he wanted to save Naina from the whole world, but she doesn’t belong to this world. She tells him to find Naina through this riddle, she can’t promise Naina’s life anyway. She warns about time slipping off his hands.
Rani lay on the floor in the room, there was steam coming out from jets. Raja walked across the corridor trying to figure out the riddle. He stops by a train dummy and asks if it’s about steam room. He runs towards the steam room, Naina was lying on floor unconscious. Raja goes to hold her up.
