Harshadev & his daughter Malti are praying in front of the idol of Shani, and then Malti starts distributing the prasad among people over there. Harshadev looks at his daughter then prays to Shani that his daughter is now grown up & needs to get married, will she find a good groom. Shani at Shanilok says that Malti is his devotee so she will definitely meet the man whom she is destined to marry.
Malti is walking with a pot of water & is stopped by Shani, disguised as Baba. He says he's thirsty & she pours water on his hands. After drinking the water, he thanks her & she's about to leave but is again stopped by Shani, he tells her that by seeing her it seems that her father is extremely worried about her marriage. She agrees & says she doesn't know what to do to lessen his burden. Shani tells her to keep 9 days fasting during Navaratri & she agrees.
Malti is shown worshipping the various forms of Durga for nine days. On the 9th day, she is worshiping the young female kids & they leave. Suddenly, from the idol of Durga, the real Durga appears in front of Malti & says that her wish of a husband will be fulfilled. She raises her hand & light gets emitted from it & two golden bangles are left on her puja thaali on which Durga says that these are her blessings which will help her save her patni dharma. Then she disappears.
Malti excitedly runs to her father who is talking with Sadanand, to show her those bangles given to her by Durga. Harshadev praises her devotion. Sadanand who is watching all this is impressed & says he wants to make Malti is DIL. Harshadev asks him what his son does on which he replies that his son, Manikant is trying to be one of the navaratnas of king Vikramaditya, thus he's preparing the map of the area of the kingdom to gift it to the king.
The scene shifts to Manikant who is running after the chariot of King Vikramaditya & shouting that he has made the map of the kingdom but due to the jai jai kar, the king can't hear anything. Manikant is pushed by someone & he falls down on the ground. His map gets kicked by the people following the king unknowingly & gets destroyed while in the attempt to save it from being kicked, Manikant's hands get injured. A disheartened Manikant picks up the map & cries out that his hard work has gone in vain.
At home, Manikant is shown drawing the map of the kingdom again. Sadanand comes from behind & says that he has fixed his wedding & now everything will be alright. Manikant says he doesn't believe that the entry of a woman can bring luck & if he achieves anything then it's going to be due to his hard work not due to his wife's luck.
The wedding takes place. Malti does the grihapravesh. Sadanand happily hands over the keys to Malti saying that now it's her responsibility & she's the Laxmi of the house. Manikant is not happy to hear this. Sadanand tells Manikant now she is the griha Laxmi of the house. Manikant says he has already told his father that he doesn't believe in such things & says she's just a woman & nothing more than that. She places the bangles in front of the idol of Durga.
The soldiers of King Vikramaditya, arrive at the door & tells Manikant that the king has called him & expressed his wish to see the map made by him. Manikant is happy & goes to fetch the map from inside. Sadanand is happy & tells Malti that her entry has changed the luck of his unlucky son & leaves.
King Vikramadity is praising the bangles of the queen which she said she got if made by the goldsmith. The bangles look similar to those of Malti's given by Durga. Manikant enters & shows the map to the king who is impressed with the map work & appoints him as one of his navaratna. Manikant is happy with the wealth given to him by the king at home. Sadanand sees him & says its bcoz Malti's good luck. Manikant is pissed off hearing this & says it's only bcoz of his hard work not her luck. Sadanand says that Manikant used to work hard even before but never got appreciated. Manikant says that did he mean to say that he never worked hard. Sadanand says he didn't mean it, but Manikant refuses to listen & warns his father never to connect his luck with Malti's & leaves.
Scenes are shown that Manikant is enjoying a girl dancing & wasting all his money on her. Sadanand is leaving the house, Malti is begging him not to leave her & go out on a tirthyatra but he leaves. Manikant is getting wealth from the king & he keeps on wasting it on that girl. Manikant is packing all the money in his house & is about to leave but Malti tries to stop him in vain. He pushes her to the ground & leaves.
Shani at shanilok is saying that Manikant is filled with ahankaar & disowned his father & wife. He got all this wealth due to Malti's wife who is a true devotee.
Manikant is saying that how come the wealth finished if she is the griha Laxmi & throws Malti outside the house. Malt is on the floor crying outside the house. Shani as baba comes in front of her. She remembers her meeting with him & asks him, he had blessed her that she would always remain happy but what's happening now? Shani says that if he shows them the way then it's his duty to even make sure they reach their destination. He tells her to go to her father's place. She asks him what about her patni dharma. Shani says for the sake of her patni dharma, he's telling her to go to her father's place. She agrees & leaves. Shani says till now her luck was connected with Manikant's but now that she has left, Manikant will now get what his luck has in store for him.
Manikant tells the king that he has made the picture of a building that can be viewed equally from the 10 directions. The king is happy to hear this & takes the paper to see the picture. Shani who is standing behind says now his punishment cycle on Manikant starts now. The eyes of Shani get fiery & he changes the picture. When the king unfolds the picture, he gets shocked to see a semi-nude portrait of a woman & gets disgusted. He asks Manikant how he dared to draw a picture like that. Manikant sees the picture & gets shocked. He says he didn't draw it but nobody listens. The queen says how he dared to insult a woman like that, she tells the mantra to insult him & throw him out of the kingdom. He is taken away. Shani sees the similar looking bangles on the hands of the queen & with his power he gets them in his hands & then hides it.
Manikant is searching the cupboard of his room. Shani is outside the window & sees the bangles of Malti in front of Durga's idlol. He replaces it with the queens's bangles & keeps Maltis' with himself, then the queen's bangles fall on the floor. Manikant sees them & gets happy thinking he can sell them & get lots of money.
Manikant is showing the bangles to the goldsmith. The goldsmith gets suspicious on seeing them & keeps asking Manikant from where he got those bangles. Manikant says it's none of his business. The goldsmith says the bangles are really valuable; he'll need more money to buy them. He takes the bangle & goes inside & directs a person in silent to do something & then comes outside telling to bring some more money fast. Manikant is happy. The goldsmith once again questions him about the bangles. Manikant gets irritated & is about to leave. The soldiers come & arrest him. The goldsmith says the bangles belong to the queen bcoz he made them.
Manikant is in front of the king who announces him to get whipped till he doesn't die. Manikant says he hasn't stolen anything but nobody listens & is being taken away, when he comes near Shani as baba, Shani tells him that he's really unlucky, when his wife was with him he had everything & now that his wife is not with him he has no good luck.
Malti is praying to the idol of Shani saying she's the root-cause of everybody's problem, on one hand her husband doesn't love her & on the other hand, her father is worried due to her. Shani as baba appears. He tells her that Manikant has been given death-sentence by the king on the account of stealing the queen's bangles. He tells her that he found these bangles outside her home while passing by & gives it to her.
Manikant is being whipped. Malti arrives there, goes & hugs Manikant. The king asks her what she's doing, he's a criminal. She says her husband has not stolen the bangles as those bangles the queen was wearing were given to her in the form of blessings by Durga. She shows her the bangles which she had & says they belong to the queen & hands it over to the queen. The queen looks at them & says they do look similar to her bangles but she's sure those aren't hers plus it doesn't prove Manikant's innocence. The king agrees & says she has no proof to prove her husband's innonce. Shani as baba appears & pleads him to give her a chance. The king does. Malti hears a voice of Shani telling her to ask the king to break the bangles then. She gives the bangles to the king & tells him to break it. The king takes them & gives it to another strong-looking guy to break it. The guy tries to break it with all force but is unable to do so. Shani prays to Durga saying to help Malti save her patni dharma. Durga blesses, Shani does namaskar to her. While the guy is struggling to break the bangle in vain, sindoor starts falling from it. Manikant is watching al this in shock. Malti says this is the proof of her husband's innocene. The king asks the goldsmith what he has to say about this. The goldsmith says neither he made those bangles nor did he put any sindoor in it. The king gives out the statement that Manikant is innocent & returns back his navaratna designation.
Malti happily unties Manikant's hands. Manikant then folds his hands & apologizes to her & says she is his good luck & griha Laxmi of his home. She says there's no need to apologize & if he has to apologize to anybody then its Shani. Malti & Manikant are worshipping the idol of Shani at home. Manikant says to Shani's idol that from now onwards he will always respect his wife.
No jai jai kar of Shani dev😲
Shani at shanilok says that woman is regarded as Laxmi of the house so men should respect her in that way.
The episode end without a jai jai kar for Shani today😲😕😆
Will post my comments some day later... tired of writing such a long update of an episode which was confusing😕 & disappointing Btw this actress Archana seems to be one of the most favorites of MSDK as she's done more than 5 or 6 episodes already & seems to get repeated again & again. But I have to say she's really good at what she does whether being the victim today or the savior in her previous avatars👍🏼
