Ganga manages to save Laxmi Bai in the nick of time by pushing her aside .

However, in the bargain she burns her hand and even gets slit by a knife. Gangadhar Rao immediately orders the royal physician to attend to Ganga. He is relieved that Laxmi Bai is safe.
After the commotion settles, Gangadhar Rao sees off Major Ellis and comments that he is very different from other British officers. Major Ellis thanks him for the compliment and leaves.
Pleased with Ganga's sacrifice to save her life, Laxmi Bai presents her with a new outfit. Ganga is thrilled.
The episode takes an interesting turn when Gangadhar Rao's elder sister Hirabai, the widow of the king of Sambhalpur arrives with her adopted son Surendra. Hirabai makes a dramatic entry in the palace lamenting the fact that the British have usurped her kingdom. Gangadhar Rao consoles her after which Hirabai states that the British have evil plans to usurp Jhansi too.
Hirabai taunts Gangadhar Rao for not having an heir and thus making Jhansi vulnerable. When Laxmi Bai arrives, Hirabai sarcastically asks her why she has not come to greet her with the heir of Jhansi in her arms.

Laxmi Bai is hurt hearing her words.

So Ashwini has made her entrance. If they had Ashwini before the leap, we cld have had some rocking scenes between Ulka and Ashwini, bet it would have been awesome too. Both ladies are strong actors.😊
