Maya comes and visits Manu in the dungeons. Manu, still thinking she is Rajkumari Rooplekha tells her that she has misunderstood her and that whoever did all this was someone else. Maya caresses Manu's face and then in anger scratches her arm really hard causing Manu to scream in pain and tell her to stop.
<Okay, now I really want to hunt her down...>
Madhav, hypnotised by Maya also visits Manu and she tries to tell him that this is all a misunderstanding and that he should open his eyes and see the real truth.
<How we wish that could happen but unfortunately the entire family is under a naagins control. They're not in their senses to understand anything...>
Madhav holds all the jewellery which Manu wore when she was Devrakshika and tells her that he'll burn all the jewellery so she can no longer be Devrakshika as the only one that can protect him is Rajkumari (Maya).
Manu pleads Madhav that he knows her since childhood and tries to get him to remember all the things they would do together since childhood. Thinking of this, Madhav slowly starts coming back to his senses as he gets flashbacks of his moments with Manu.
During this moment, I thought that maybe he might come back to his senses and realise what has happened.
Until...
Maya caresses Madhav's face which makes him lose his senses and go under Maya's control again. Manu realises that Maya was behind all of this. He pulls out Manu's taveez and the ring which a Devrakshika is required to wear and burns them along with the other jewellery without listening to Manu's commands.
Seeing this, my mind drifted back to when Madhav burned down the door to save Manu from the burning ash... His acts have now taken an opposite route all thanks to Maya...
After Madhav leaves, Maya reminds Manu that she is marrying Madhav the following day and will then become a Princess. After becoming princess, she'll put orders to get Manu killed and that to by Madhav. She assures Manu that she doesn't love Madhav or their family but hates them as all she wants is the Naagmani.
<I though she had an infatuation for him... It seemed like that at the beginning... What a trend of weird logics >
Manu in anger and frustration as she is unable to break free from the chains asks Maya who she is.
And here, Maya finally reveals the real truth that she isn't Rajkumari Rooplekha of Chittogarh, she is in fact Maya, the most powerful Icchaadaari Naagin.
Maya, after strangling Manu with her tail calls in Takshika and Manu gets shocked seeing her as her duplicate. Takshika turns into her original self and Manu recognises her as the other Icchadaari Naagin.
Manu promises Maya that no matter what happens, she'll protect the Raj Vansh and expose Maya. Maya promises Manu and says that within the next 24 hours, she'll marry Madhav and snatch the Naagmani.
